Signet
The wax does seal
all that is real
all that is genuine
within these penned lines
As in times of old
when the pen was bold
the words most precious
the message forever true
Enveloped in the night
as I again write
dip deep my quill
steel my frayed nerves
Follow the smooth curves
of the cursive script
deep into the crypt
of the poetic mind
Wondering what I will find
on the other side
of a life still denied
of a life still left unrhyming
all that is real
all that is genuine
within these penned lines
As in times of old
when the pen was bold
the words most precious
the message forever true
Enveloped in the night
as I again write
dip deep my quill
steel my frayed nerves
Follow the smooth curves
of the cursive script
deep into the crypt
of the poetic mind
Wondering what I will find
on the other side
of a life still denied
of a life still left unrhyming

Abstraction
More than a contraction
this poetic abstraction
how we take the real
then peel it away
Down to its essence
this Platonic presence
able to withstand
all intellectual vices
Spill ink like bold paint
stay away from the quaint
stir up the verbal colors
spackle the creased page
No need to be
exact
when you abstract
just a little hint will do
With the right splash
followed by a dash
meant to dot the "i"
let the poetry whisper why
this poetic abstraction
how we take the real
then peel it away
Down to its essence
this Platonic presence
able to withstand
all intellectual vices
Spill ink like bold paint
stay away from the quaint
stir up the verbal colors
spackle the creased page
No need to be
exact
when you abstract
just a little hint will do
With the right splash
followed by a dash
meant to dot the "i"
let the poetry whisper why

Stained
Fresh spilt ink stains
more than just fingers
as it still lingers
within a poetic soul
Spelling out each word
even those left unheard
across an imagined page
such haunted syllables
I feel it seep deep
into my pores
under my skin
each time I start to begin
Filling in lines
with such creative designs
linked forever
by long loopy letters
As I release these fetters
that bind my hands
bind my heart
silence me before I can start
more than just fingers
as it still lingers
within a poetic soul
Spelling out each word
even those left unheard
across an imagined page
such haunted syllables
I feel it seep deep
into my pores
under my skin
each time I start to begin
Filling in lines
with such creative designs
linked forever
by long loopy letters
As I release these fetters
that bind my hands
bind my heart
silence me before I can start

Words Drift
Though the lines define
this winnowed path
my words know where to go
Riding the ancient flow
of a distant poetry
borne of cryptic ages
In search of virgin pages
to share again the sublime
within the sanctum of rhyme
With not a minute to waste
chasing a prosaic haste
I let the verse just roam
Safe inside this unfolding poem
I feel each moment shift
while wandering words drift
this winnowed path
my words know where to go
Riding the ancient flow
of a distant poetry
borne of cryptic ages
In search of virgin pages
to share again the sublime
within the sanctum of rhyme
With not a minute to waste
chasing a prosaic haste
I let the verse just roam
Safe inside this unfolding poem
I feel each moment shift
while wandering words drift

Luminous
I love it when the breeze
tickles the trees
rustling leaves
bustling imaginings
Lose myself in the wood
possibly for good
leaving my melancholy mind
grieving all behind
Bathing in the light
much to my delight
calmed by the warmth
balmed by the blessing
Feel the warm glow
while I again know
all that I am meant to
recall in these few words
Finding myself in each poem
as I continue to again roam
voluminous in their amount
luminous before all my doubt
tickles the trees
rustling leaves
bustling imaginings
Lose myself in the wood
possibly for good
leaving my melancholy mind
grieving all behind
Bathing in the light
much to my delight
calmed by the warmth
balmed by the blessing
Feel the warm glow
while I again know
all that I am meant to
recall in these few words
Finding myself in each poem
as I continue to again roam
voluminous in their amount
luminous before all my doubt

Splendid Blending
The words always do arise
much to my surprise
forming on the fresh page
like glyphs out of the mist
Each of these crisp lines
distills then refines
the crafting of the rhyme
the drafting of the poem
How every bit of prose
finally now flows
in a metric dance
in a poetic rhythm
When both heart and mind
are again able to find
a little bit of soulfulness
to complete the perfect blend
As the art starts to take form
blending cold and warm
fusing dark and light
to spill the balanced...
much to my surprise

F.A.M.E (Feel All My Emotions)
Contradictory to what I think
These vowels keep throwing up in the sink
I woke up this morning with a bladder of P
And a wicked hangover from my poetry T
My bud was weak and my beer was high
My eyes were red but my tears were dry
My weight was Y not even explained
My dignity X ploded and strained
My train of thought is literally stranded
Chilling on the tracks where U was reprimanded
My writing license is revoked
My homie J just got smoked
My tricky writer’s block eloped
Lucky Charms drove down my throat
My neck is stiff...
These vowels keep throwing up in the sink

My bud was weak and my beer was high
My eyes were red but my tears were dry

My train of thought is literally stranded
Chilling on the tracks where U was reprimanded
My writing license is revoked
My homie J just got smoked
My tricky writer’s block eloped
Lucky Charms drove down my throat
My neck is stiff...

Freed Verse
Is it such a poetic curse
to want to write in freed verse
let the words escape
the shackles of formality
Defy conventional gravity
in the body of the write
crafted in the night
this deep scratch of quill
Rhyming now at will
where the poem desires
rekindle creative fires
those embers who remember
While I try to forget
a lifetime of regret
of guilt
of disappointment
Desiring an anointment
of some soothing balm
something to...

Quatrainment
I want to be able to know
this epic sweet poetic flow
again lost in its entrainment
feel the pleasure of quatrainment
this epic sweet poetic flow
again lost in its entrainment
