To watch the Clear Night Sky
To watch the clear night skies, with what words and with which poem or brush can I at last shine a light on the mind of the searcher,
With what can I explicitly explain the divinity and sacredness of the stars of which cannot be seen, knowing with a depth of certainty they are there without changing the meaning,
How do I express myself when magnificence is just something wrapped in mediocrity in fair comparison, when searching to expose the truth and beauty of nature in the things that I cannot explain,
To try and explain a clear night sky, is...

My Universe
Give me a piece of your sky
Let me fly... high
Orbiting your stars
let me burn in those
scintillating eyes
Drizzle me
with soft glow
of your glittering sunbeams,
leaving me drenched
in golden dreams
Let me be your moon
circling around you
waxing and waning till I swoon
and melting into lovedrops
I fall for you
... into you
Soak me up
baby,
every atom of
mine ...
Let me fly... high
Orbiting your stars
let me burn in those
scintillating eyes
Drizzle me
with soft glow
of your glittering sunbeams,
leaving me drenched
in golden dreams
Let me be your moon
circling around you
waxing and waning till I swoon
and melting into lovedrops
I fall for you
... into you
Soak me up
baby,

mine ...

Vietnam Medic
Vietnam Medic
hills of Vietnam
where medic
bandages wounds
of Odin’s warriors
as jungle blues
Sing from radio
In cool air
Of mountain Gods
Upon steep slopes
Rising from bamboo forest
In thatched roof hut
where small TV
Projects ghostly cinema
Of moon walkers
In 1969
For idyllic medicine man
Under roof of heaven
With occasional gunfire
To keep him honest

Dark Stars
Never seeking attention
Dark Stars aren’t born that way
Existing only for inky perfection
Upon an infinite ebony skyway
Stitching into each other
Midnight’s ageless background
To hideaway from prying eyes
Without making a single sound
Uncomfortable with the shine
Elevated buried treasures
Never found or cracked open
Locked away with pleasure
Five dark pointed shoulders
Lifting bright stars high
Without malice or jealousy
Enhancing their light

Perseverance
It is a Mars thing.
Launched July 30, 2020
Florida heat
Arriving on February 18, 2021
Touching cold red soil
Jezero Crater, Mars
May it hold the answers you seek.
Robots like Rover and Ingenuity.

RIMFAX, SHERLOC, SuperCam
To the smart folks
We all should pay attention to

Critics, Athletes and Talking heads
Kudos to you!

superposition
if Schrodinger was blind
he would not be able to
observe the cat being
either alive or dead
poor cat
what a state of super-
position to be left in
molecules scattered
everywhere
with no mouse to
chase

Carry On dot.com Sitcom
Skinstorm of scripts
written upon Wi-Fi wrists,
ever the moon is vowel shaped
Wide to receive
from another lonely hand,
as roadkill waiting to be shovelled
earthed into the ground
Who will chalk around cursors
at love-crime cyber scene?
Something is squeezing your skull
Surfing Transmitted Disease,
tinder sticks smoulder desire
before rain retreats to the sky
& reality nothing more than a drunk emoji
Post mortem modem
threads bone though keyboards,
no ghosts in the machine
only...

The will to live
I woke up
In the middle of the night
And everything was shaking;
I ran out of the hospital room;
It was the first day in the hospital,
AndI was not used to the environment.
And as I did run,
I took the right side of the hall,
Which leads further to the hospital,
Not to the exit;
So I turned back;
While passing again past my room.
I got reminded of Ana;
I said to myself,
How did I leave her inside?
I stepped at the door of the hospital room
And instead of Ana,
I saw noone inside;
I got reminded,
That...

Cosmic anomaly
Floating in awe towards what appeared a porcelain glaze.
Facing the inescapable pull of that dense, pitch blackhole.
Another cuckoo traveller, bound to grace the twisting whirlpool.
To be folded like origami then distended, mercilessly.

10 Wondrous Senryu Poems
Lost in Confusion:
Mystery enquired
Paradox alienates
No truth and purpose
Fallen Suddenly:
Thievery question
Fragility foundation
Unstable collapse
Imagined Expanse:
Above atmosphere
Observational below
Connection wondrous
Idolatrous Guess:
The gift of the stars
Deceitful ultimatum
To expect answers
Separate Conscience:
Physics fabricate
Presumably literal
Spirit spatially
...

Just Death?
The weird thing about life is that it ends;
for me, for despots, for sinners, for saint,
to the pet cat, to enemies, to friends,
there's no reprieve, no place to lodge complaints...
Just a cold indifferent universe.
Perhaps that's the point, there's justice in death
not in the judicial kind, that's the worst
but that we all get to take one last breath.
I guess there lies equality, that last gasp,
as life fades to a half remembered dream,
thoughts struggle to think, life slips from our grasp
and we are gone as if,...
