lone ranger
Lone Ranger
Three days are gone, alone in my cabin
Not a word is written in these rooms of silence
Writing in a vacuum does not behoove me.
I need an input someone with thoughts of their own.
Reflecting my own thoughts in the mirror
Are unbreakable cycles like a troll under a bridge
That can no longer see the difference between a goat or sheep.
Starve it does not being able to catch rainbow trouts
As laziness seeps into his bones.
Sore is my head from trying to burst out of this encircling
Of the stale, fearful of the new, I...

the Greek poet
The Greek Poet
I’m trying to read the work of a Greek poet
I have tried to read it before until overcome by tedium.
I’m trying again.
I read slowly while pain is dripping, an awful lot of flowers
In her verses, heartache and all that.
Some of her poems are good but they suffer from being placed
Among mediocrity and it is painful.
Her book is too long and that perhaps is the problem with
All poetry is “too long” twenty pages are enough
To keep reader interest, but publishers want longer books
For their own reason. Too many poems...

the apprentice
The Apprentice
Every morning he took a short bus ride
to the factory where he was learning welding
a thing to know if you are building a ship.
One day he missed the bus got lost and began
Walking, took the wrong turn and the vista
a new life of adventures opened up.
He has done many jobs, like being a cowboy
in Montana, a tourist guide in Peru,
a short-order-cook in New York and running
Errands for the local Mafia.
He sailed on every ocean, worthy of its name,
been in love a hundred times, yet he hankers most
for the girl...

How will I explain?
How will I explain
the lure of intimate strangers
that make me leave my tasks undone
The world will not understand
How will I explain
the wilderness inside my head
where I adventure for hours on end
The world has never known it
How will I explain
this hunger for words and perception
that mutes all responsibilities
The world will not approve
How will I explain
when night falls without tangible achievement
“But at least I really felt poetry today…”
How will I ever explain?
the lure of intimate strangers
that make me leave my tasks undone
The world will not understand
How will I explain
the wilderness inside my head
where I adventure for hours on end
The world has never known it
How will I explain
this hunger for words and perception
that mutes all responsibilities
The world will not approve
How will I explain
when night falls without tangible achievement
“But at least I really felt poetry today…”
How will I ever explain?

book house
Once I saw a magical house fill with books.
Books that were wallpaper that went to the ceiling,
the book might even go high as the sky.
The piles of book all over the room are really tall.
I do love them!
How do i need them with this magical house.
I’ll have white hair by the time I’m done...
I’ll start today...just right now.
I’ll just sit in the red comfortable chair,
As I open a book just to take a look….
…..ooops i fell in.

link-in
Linkin is like the facebook
Only posher and middle-class
Here company directors,
Guitar players and teachers
Can write learned articles
Mainly about themselves
And what interests them.
Apart for being pretentious
It is free of baby pictures
Which is satisfying and keeps
Facebook users at bay.

oh, you laughable trolls ..
look, social media seems all about
doing what you're sold, or what
you're told; and why not, before you get
too old, just try reading a book ..

Words
Words fascinate me
I've always been amazed by their impact on my mind
And how they affect my thoughts and perception of things
They have the power
To move me
To touch my heart
To sooth my soul
To stir my mind into flight
Words let me soar
On wings of imagination
They inspire me to dream
They keep me spellbound by their magic
They come to life in my mind
As I interact with them
How they filled my world
With vicar experiences and adventure as a child is beyond compare
They transport me to different...

My Eye Rhymes
I mime with eye rhymes for a quick laughter,
Although writing it feels like it’s a slaughter,
But once the inspiration finally comes through,
The delivery many times sounds a little rough.
And yet this rite seems right just for fun’s sake,
Especially after downing a whole bottle of sake,
Don’t ask me how but now I feel a bit strange,
But I think I finally found a way to use orange!
I try to write sight rhymes but it all seems gone,
Like fleeing words worlds away leaving me alone,
These verses are like leaves flying off into the wind, ...

Just another poem
between
the lines of
a poem
a little truth
is squeezed
a word
or two
that may
or may not
unshackle
the stars
and
create a minor
disturbance
throughout
the heavens
between
the lines of
a poem
you may find
a hungry
child
a woman
broken by love
a man
broken by hate
between
the lines of
a poem
you'll find
wars
racism
and
fear
between
the lines of
a poem
