A crucial winding road
.. ... ...
A crucial winding road
Creates a bridge over the abysm
Then the wide open highway...
Which is always sitting empty
Destiny is feeding its need for speed...
So it is left for fate to fill in and interpret
This relationship pans out...
And visual poetry is fastened with concrete poetry
All lanes of travel open
Unseen twists and turns become visible
They are unable to trap thoughts
So hopes and goals are rendered all clear

Dark passage
a spirit thread loomed across
skylines dark tainted fading
the news is like your laughter
oh loneliness
porcelain echo
beauty from
the brow
of your eyelids
and no more
my head will rest
against yours
I asked for omens
before knowing your name
I was allowed this transition
one day my skin
will grow a tree
oh guardian
savior and savage
love could never loose
the ardor of adoration
a dissolving meaning
no greater mortal wealth ...

Bet On Love
Many losses in love
Been lost in it too
I've found real love
Also been a fool
Love & insanity
Are the two synonymous?
Love many
Trust few
To none be unjust
Must we suffer heartache
Better to have loved & lost
Mistakes bestow lessons
Some at inflated costs
Chess games & coasters
All of the ups and downs
To become a grandmaster
You gotta move around
Wear your regal crown

'Tis All for the Best; ( Villanelle )
( After W. H. Auden )
I would say nothing like I told you so *,
Despite knowing the course your choices take;
Because I cannot interfere, you know.
Tis pointless inventorying your escrow:
Aware of outcomes, before it's too late;
'Tis all for the best; it ensures your growth.
There is no future that isn't malleable,
No nightmare exists, which you cannot wake;
Because I cannot interfere, you know.
The signs are there, in the spiritual world,
Glints of light, whispers, nudges as you play;
'Tis...

Craftsman
With infinite care and patience
a craftsman bends over his labor
using tools of love and compassion
the work becomes his meaning
and the meaning becomes his life
with toil and sweat and time
building a foundation for the soul
of strength and respect and courage
the raw materials of creation
he labors night and day unceasing
constructing welcoming doorways
bright windows for the spirit
and walls to weather the storm
the work is never really finished
something always needs repair
but trusting to his craftsmanship ...

.. cottonmouth
to find some solutions
and cut out the doubts,
research to be
smarter than the problems,
take the cotton from your ears
stick it in your mouth,
you may hear
the answers to solve them.

Words of Wisdom from My Father
At 18 I went to work in an auto factory, same place my father worked.
We'd leave early every morning so he could play cards.
I was sitting at the table watching them play tunk, a popular game at the plant, when a guy named Grover came in.
He was bragging about his vocabulary. He was learning a new word everyday.
Don't remember the word but he used it wrong and I told him
He looked at me with disgust
Dad said, "Grover, you're an aardvark."
Grover got visibly upset and stormed off.
I asked, "Why did...

Terminal Blunders
One can never teach that which they don't know
Can't emulate a character from an unseen show
So we go with the flow, learning from our blunders
Hoping and praying that none take us under
Can't emulate a character from an unseen show
So we go with the flow, learning from our blunders
Hoping and praying that none take us under

Camaraderie
We are so different
We are the same
But the subtleties
Say
We make our own way
These and many days ahead
It will be hard to call you friend
A stranger or brother
It has all come to end
The simple words
I have written here
Are meant for all
Foes and friends to hear
So meet up for drinks
Old scoundrels
Old sinners
To watch the losers
Gamble around
To be winners
As our withered hands show ...

My fault not to be determined
I seemed to always be the one to lose my temper first.
You never seemed to pay attention to my actions more than my words.
Apparently, I was the one who needed a lesson in patience.
You watched as I cried through my emotions.
I needed your stability with no credibility.
You ignored my attempts, & played with my fears.
I became unrecognizable standing in front of you.
(Mis-understanding)

The All Is In All
I had a vision
that we were all one
every avatar’s course
having the same source
the same consciousness
expanded in awareness
and breaking thoughts
of visions sought
the pens moving smooth
like swords spilling ink
a mental/spiritual groove
surfacing to sink
into the sands of time
in measures of meter & rhyme
& free flowing rhythm
crossing the chasm
of abyss darkness
deep into the soul
to surface in the heart – in full
as this world necessitates us all - in full
that we were all one
every avatar’s course
having the same source
the same consciousness
expanded in awareness
and breaking thoughts
of visions sought
the pens moving smooth
like swords spilling ink
a mental/spiritual groove
surfacing to sink
into the sands of time
in measures of meter & rhyme
& free flowing rhythm
crossing the chasm
of abyss darkness
deep into the soul
to surface in the heart – in full
as this world necessitates us all - in full

.. blurtettes
because,
what you speak as a notion
you speak on things
some can not unhear,
you know nothing about,
so,
before your mouth goes in motion,
when you open your mouth
put your mind in gear.
you have removed all doubt
what you speak as a notion
you speak on things
some can not unhear,
you know nothing about,
so,
before your mouth goes in motion,
when you open your mouth
put your mind in gear.
you have removed all doubt
