Chasing Dreams
Writing all my fears on an empty page
Needing to share these random thoughts
Looking for common ground to engage
Never found it hard to connect the dots
Chasing dreams in a game of chance
I’m a realist when it comes to limitations
Sure it gets me off to make words dance
While venting all life’s many frustrations
Wisdom’s another word for commonsense
That’s been accumulating over the years
So many seasons spent sitting on the fence
Learning that nothing truly is as it appears
Needing to share these random thoughts
Looking for common ground to engage
Never found it hard to connect the dots
Chasing dreams in a game of chance
I’m a realist when it comes to limitations
Sure it gets me off to make words dance
While venting all life’s many frustrations
Wisdom’s another word for commonsense
That’s been accumulating over the years
So many seasons spent sitting on the fence
Learning that nothing truly is as it appears

You learn from what you initiate
Unlock your eyes
Live to see
There is more
Than you might think
Hold your breath
Vow these words
Patience is the virtue and so if your life
There is no point fighting every hour
There is no point in holding all the power
We're all just gonna get louder and LOUDER
In the end it's just misconnected lies
Trap that myth
Drain your mind
Choose your path
Explore your time
Never give in
Live in sin
You learn from what you initiate
Live to see
There is more
Than you might think
Hold your breath
Vow these words
Patience is the virtue and so if your life
There is no point fighting every hour
There is no point in holding all the power
We're all just gonna get louder and LOUDER
In the end it's just misconnected lies
Trap that myth
Drain your mind
Choose your path
Explore your time
Never give in
Live in sin
You learn from what you initiate

Nothing Left Standing...
In making me your world
you have destroyed me
engulfing me in tenderness
sweet serenity.
I did not realize the cracks
the silent tremors
the microscopic lines
grinding against each other.
I am your whole world
I'm drowning in its depth
so deep, there is no bottom
there is just being.
when a kiss causes
volcanoes to erupt
and the ground shakes
know it is me.
I am right for you
the way I make you quake
the way you lose yourself
in the abyss.
this could be pure...
you have destroyed me
engulfing me in tenderness
sweet serenity.
I did not realize the cracks
the silent tremors
the microscopic lines
grinding against each other.
I am your whole world
I'm drowning in its depth
so deep, there is no bottom
there is just being.
when a kiss causes
volcanoes to erupt
and the ground shakes
know it is me.
I am right for you
the way I make you quake
the way you lose yourself
in the abyss.
this could be pure...

Wrong Number
Hi”, the text came in from an unfamiliar number
“Who is this?” he replied a few minutes later
“It’s Kathy! I thought you saved my information”
“Sorry wrong number” he texted to dissuade her
“Oh I’m sorry to disturb your evening” she replied
“No worries” he said “it happens sometimes”
But out of custom he also added “have a nice night”
Something which he thought was just being polite
But then she responded with a picture of herself
“Thanks! Here’s a pic of me, where are you?”
And the old man nearly had himself a hard attack ...

Monty Burns
He's evil, and he's funny...
except evil isn't funny...
so what makes Mr. Burns so great?
It's because we inherently know
that evil is silly WHEN it isn't a threat...
due to gerontologic circumstance.
Let's keep it that way.

out with the old...
too many drinks too quickly
it was like a trainwreck when it hit me
(no, I'm not still drunk)
my altered perspective made me think
maybe I should switch shit up
strike a match to the past
and blaze into a new me
it's probably mostly bluster
I mean...
how much different could I be
just trying out something unexpected
really...it's not so much...
infusing silver locks
with something more vibrant
dye it half violet & leave the other half white
then take it from the waist up to shoulders
seems a small step... ...

I saw Sha Sha in the BIG BOX Store buying Disinfectant
It's one thing when I'm paying for a massage
The massage is marginal but the hand job
Well what can I say ?
Sha Sha knows her stuff
So what if I walk out with the same back pain
$150 poorer
Sha Sha in a transcendent moment
Turns regular Joe ( me ) into a Superstar
This is what you save your money for ..
Buying economy everyday products cheap
So when the need for a happy ending calls
I'm flush with money to burn
The irony is when I see Sha Sha a week later
She's in the BIG BOX store...

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION
It's that time of year when
we are getting ready
to flip the calendar and
face the new year, exchanging
2020 with 2021. We have
determined our new year's
goals, plans, and commitments.
Reality hits: 95 % never keep
their resolutions, 5% do so feebly,
and 5% soar with the eagles.
* The weigh is still on, maybe a little more
*The cause is still boring
* The relationship is without sparkle
* The bucket list still has all the dreams
* The writing of more poems, even a book, no.
Nothing left but forgotten words and ...

reaching for shore
did you
see the
water creep
like music,
the gulls
sang along,
from far
out deep
your soul
struggled
to push
you
even closer,
reaching
for shore.

QUINTESSENTIAL TRIBECA LOFT
New York, New York
The Next Day
Zaniyah laid on Marcus’ chest wall. She uplifted her face.
“I had a very very nice time last night in your bed.” She kissed the side of his neck. “In the shower, and in this bed this morning.”
Zaniyah kissed Marcus under his chin.
Marcus kissed Zaniyah on top of her forehead. He hugged her body closely to his. He bent his head down to detain her eyes.
Zaniyah tilted her face upward.

I've never seen anything so inadequate
never seen ever such an inadeq... wait
I've never been seen as an earthquake
never been anything more than awake
saying it this way may seem a mistake
just leave me alone and keep it stake
you are still there and makes me ache
you're not there anyway and I still wait
.............................................................

Come out of the closet
A chain reaction of
rumors is started
because you want
to know if something
is true or not
But the rumors go
back to the person
who doesn't need
to find out on
social media
Getting ratted our
for swing for the
other side
got us cut off
at the neck
