Shalimar Gardens
In Shalimar gardens of almond-green
and we on a bed of forsythia's spring
with chimes of incense in your hair
and fingers caressing you there
Loving you more than whispers say
on vellum of parchment skin
from the ink of my poet's well
with your love showing me the way
In the condensation of dawn's dew
and halogen lights of the night
in the valley of your succulent pearl
cloistered from the devil's bite
In Shalimar gardens of almond-green
deep as the night of our sins
with the ink of a blue tattoo
and...

Flutter By
Simply floating on by
On a whim
Of the wind
My paper like wings
Caught on the breezes
Like falling blossom

water bearer
Tangerine
burns
cooling
pores
accenting
aquatic
awareness
hangs
in reflection
of orange orchid orchard
I dive
into
wild origin
tenderest under water terrain
holds me oceanic
all I am
is now
a replenishing harmonium
occurs through my body
dolphins move
through my spine
in sonar verses

Slumber's Rest
..whimsical little petals
in slumber's nest
beneath heaven's gazebo
whispering my name
awaiting the dawn
upon the dew
of simply red
as shadows of butterflies
rain down the skies...
in slumber's nest
beneath heaven's gazebo
whispering my name
awaiting the dawn

Nanojewels
intermingling molecules
electrons spinning nanojewels...
imagining a world so small
no up or down through which to fall
electric currents flowing where
ions race from here to there
powering the macro world
as planetary systems swirl
with their stellar plasma spheres,
spiraling for endless years
driven by an unseen force,
escaping nanojewels which course
in twisting currents everywhere
creating plasmoids here and there
which become the stars we see
the planets too and you and me
...

Shadows On The water
..of shadows on the water
reflecting stary night
in your eyes of echoes
of waters on the fire
putting out the dark
with a spark of moon skies
listening to the peace
of shadows on the water...

LAUGHING AT MYSELF
ME!
Every day I pause
to visit my comedy club
where I laugh at myself
out of honest reflection.
There are a lot of things
I laugh at, mostly the
dumb things I say and
the things I forget to say.
My favorite laugh comes
when I forget where
I left my keys or not
realizing I didn't set my alarm.
Then there's telling
the same person the same
story over and over not
seeing their boredom.
I don't think I'll share
the sexual laughs I
have at myself, it'll
be a tell-all...

The foresight
When I look back on my life, which I seldom do
I think in my writing, I should be deeper; alas, my self-mockery gets in the way.
Why should I think I'm intellectual to have any worth to say?
It appears to me that many on Facebook feel important enough
to enlightening us with their homilies?
If you live like this or that, you will find peace and happiness.
Balderdash!

Letter to self celebration
Long have I loved you
longer still
given gravity enfolds me
caught within an osculating
circulation
from
moon kissed womb
Beloved self
let me hold you
through encapsulated petals
rest into me
you are the empty shape
of form, the plankton
from wind
an ever resting
radiant hand
comes to me
in cabinets
of clarity
a time when
you know not
to speak
an echoing hand palm
longer still
given gravity enfolds me
caught within an osculating
circulation
from
moon kissed womb
Beloved self
let me hold you
through encapsulated petals
rest into me
you are the empty shape
of form, the plankton
from wind
an ever resting
radiant hand
comes to me
in cabinets
of clarity
a time when
you know not
to speak
an echoing hand palm
