August
Stifling August weather heat
Never enjoyed this time of year
Practically naked, from my head to my feet
Stifling August weather heat
Ice Cream, Sorbet, or some other refreshing treat
Lifestyle dominated by oppressive thoughts
Stifling August weather heat
Never enjoyed this time of year.

Breath to Define - with adagio
I listened to the weeping waterfall, from my mind's
misting eyes, in gravity's silence.
As summer kisses me with it's warm goodbye, singing with a weeping memory in a staccato's woods.
With the leaves of a vibrant newborn serenity falling, from a shadow's branch in the haunted attic of my mind.
Chilled by winter's cold whispers to find, Fujiyama's philosophy, of snow-topped breath to define.
Standing in grandeur, of all season's, ascending to the glaciers beyond the rising dawn.
misting eyes, in gravity's silence.
As summer kisses me with it's warm goodbye, singing with a weeping memory in a staccato's woods.
With the leaves of a vibrant newborn serenity falling, from a shadow's branch in the haunted attic of my mind.
Chilled by winter's cold whispers to find, Fujiyama's philosophy, of snow-topped breath to define.
Standing in grandeur, of all season's, ascending to the glaciers beyond the rising dawn.

green
I'm hurting in the green of you
tears sting my face
an upturned daisy seeking the sun
clouds shadow from your gaze
my petals turn inward from the cold
I seek comfort where I can
to die at winter's hands
cruel fate
my soul glazed over at the chill
the winds bellow
I saw you on the horizon
I turned away
I followed the sun, instead
where green is still beautiful
tears sting my face
an upturned daisy seeking the sun
clouds shadow from your gaze
my petals turn inward from the cold
I seek comfort where I can
to die at winter's hands
cruel fate
my soul glazed over at the chill
the winds bellow
I saw you on the horizon
I turned away
I followed the sun, instead
where green is still beautiful

RIMINI
At Rimini
in Italy
we'd holiday
beside the bay.
Your bikini
I loved to see
your body wear
when in the square.
We loved the sun,
it gave us fun
upon the sands,
hands holding hands.
You used to scream
when the ice cream
man came to sell,
ringing his bell.
Such memories
fill heart with bliss.
What times we'd share;
now, you're not there.
Like king lost throne
I walk alone,
while younger pairs
hold hands in squares.
Their happiness,
so...
in Italy
we'd holiday

heat
touch me
all
that you
feel
to be
justified,
to be
fair,
tickle
my exposed
skin,
still knowing
i will not
be able
to return
or give
what
your favor
i received.

Acorn
Be patient in opening
for 'Nature's first green'
Acorn, your golden root
twisting invisibly underfoot;
Herald death instead: summer --
its scorched scarecrow shriveled
reigning rows of cracked sod
under abandoned nests of crow
Welcomed by autumn's bijou;
true citrine, ruby-fired blue
shedding her legacy of skin
to bury your amber hull
Pray for that frozen grave
overlooked by foraging squirrels;
sleep until the frigid thaw
severs winter's umbilical cord
For to survive time as...
for 'Nature's first green'
Acorn, your golden root
twisting invisibly underfoot;
Herald death instead: summer --

reigning rows of cracked sod
under abandoned nests of crow
Welcomed by autumn's bijou;

shedding her legacy of skin

Sorority
The moon was paired by Jove today,
Almost at meridian height,
Just as the night was dying away
In the glory of first morning light.
And beholding this in our backyard
Was myself and my two eyes
As moonbeams were by daylight barred
From the ever brightening skies.
Then the last to fade was Jupiter
When Aurora took Apollos's reigns
And the Moon's fat crescent smiled at her,
As colleague welkin suzerains,
Exchanging looks as each understood...
Their twilight was a sisterhood.
Almost at meridian height,
Just as the night was dying away
In the glory of first morning light.
And beholding this in our backyard
Was myself and my two eyes
As moonbeams were by daylight barred
From the ever brightening skies.
Then the last to fade was Jupiter
When Aurora took Apollos's reigns
And the Moon's fat crescent smiled at her,
As colleague welkin suzerains,
Exchanging looks as each understood...
Their twilight was a sisterhood.

Fall, with Open Arms
Round here, the summers are brutal
Today it was One-0-Eight
(That’s 42 to some of you)
It’s so hot your skin can fry and bake
‘Round here, summer starts in April
And sometimes lasts past September
Why did I move to this place?
Dang it, I wish I could remember
But once the season changes
And the sun has a new position
Something magical happens
I begin to have a sunnier disposition
The cool breeze brings bright memories
Of my college years, of freshman days
When youth and opportunity seemed endless
When...

It’s Just The Sun
It was very hot outside today in New York, If you must venture outside, I do hope you are wearing some sunscreen, and staying hydrated.
I stepped outside after a televisit, and the Sun rays were very commendable, caressing my Creole skin with some natural Vitamin D.

Sunsoaked
Tag-along girls on a man’s day of leisure
Never seemed strange at the time
We relished the freedom of a day in the sun
Running, long grass whipping our legs
and mud in our toes
Your Dad’s airplanes whizzing above in the clear air
competing with the sound of cicadas
The river was wide and ours to explore
In retrospect I think
your Mom must have enjoyed the quiet we left her with
The opportunity to brace herself
for all the frogs we would bring home
Never seemed strange at the time
We relished the freedom of a day in the sun
Running, long grass whipping our legs
and mud in our toes
Your Dad’s airplanes whizzing above in the clear air
competing with the sound of cicadas
The river was wide and ours to explore
In retrospect I think
your Mom must have enjoyed the quiet we left her with
The opportunity to brace herself
