The airport within the evining sky
Stars tearing little white holes in it
Just like eyes they grow accustomed to me
Planes circling and stacked...
All the way from the terminal building to my soul
I have chosen a glide path...
To make myself feel at home
Incoming flights ... Diverted... Delayed
Outgoing flights ... hours behind their scheduled times
The noisy chaos of travellers...
Seems to be a long distance away
A superhuman calmness
Emptiness is dark and bizarre
Whose inspiration... ...

Light In The Darkness
Where there is jealousy
There is often strife.
Whether you are fortunate or unfortunate
Someone will always long for what you have.
From the expensive crystal chandelier on your wall
To the only shirt you have on your back
Jealousy often leads to strife.
Therefore, you will find throughout the course of your life,
That everyone is both, an angel to some and a devil to others.
If you lather the earth with kindness
Someone will consider you an angel
While others, even with kindness, will consider you a devil.

Changing of the Season
Transformations will
Connect with nature
Cool and inviting
There is no denying
Autumn's canopy
Of captured harmony
Unique beauty
From Fall's seasonal duty
Brings misty mornings
And carnal yearnings
With harvest plenty
To pleasure the senses
Begin again
And embrace the wind
While brilliant blue skies
Hear golden leaves sigh
As they float to the ground
With barely a sound
A time to renew
My soul for you
And for this very reason
I love the changing of the season...
Connect with nature
Cool and inviting
There is no denying
Autumn's canopy
Of captured harmony
Unique beauty
From Fall's seasonal duty
Brings misty mornings
And carnal yearnings
With harvest plenty

Begin again
And embrace the wind
While brilliant blue skies
Hear golden leaves sigh
As they float to the ground
With barely a sound

I love the changing of the season...

Afloat
As I locomote in the waters of life
With the mission to stay afloat
Big waves crash down
gorging me into its belly
I submerge into the abyss
Where the attrocities of
this world linger a
The green eyed creatures that
hide in the shadows
Feeding on the fears and unhappiness
If you stay too long you will drown
.
.
But as the cork
Pacific in nature
Disencumbered in stature
I ascend back to the surface
With the mission to stay afloat
Big waves crash down
gorging me into its belly
I submerge into the abyss
Where the attrocities of
this world linger a
The green eyed creatures that
hide in the shadows
Feeding on the fears and unhappiness
If you stay too long you will drown
.
.
But as the cork
Pacific in nature
Disencumbered in stature
I ascend back to the surface

DARE TO BE DIFFERENT
DARE TO BE DIFFERENT
What if all you were ever taught was a lie?
What if not?
What if life is only a long dream
Where everyone sleepwalks with their eyes open
And feet in motion?
What if all that stands for good and kindness
Grants you no credit or points
In the end?
But what if it does?
What if all what you thought was good and right in you
Was to be proven wrong and cruel?
What if you thought you were leaving a good legacy in someone’s life
And turns out that someone never appreciated?

a winter outside my door
Nothing but pale sky.
The shaved, ivory, tree.
The earth's star,
subdued—spy's,
beams, brushes,
soothes the chill
upon my cheek.
Now the distant drilling
of pygmy angels
in the snow.
Moon toned tots
pelting each other with snow,
cackling with glee.
Ma's and da's on porches
holding hot cocoa.
watching, smiling.
The shaved, ivory, tree.
The earth's star,
subdued—spy's,
beams, brushes,
soothes the chill
upon my cheek.
Now the distant drilling
of pygmy angels
in the snow.
Moon toned tots
pelting each other with snow,
cackling with glee.
Ma's and da's on porches
holding hot cocoa.
watching, smiling.

October
October relented yesterday
warm sun and pale blue sky
darkening as a sickle moon
on its back promises a frosty night;
the falling sun cooling in the west.
Tomorrow will be Tuesday
a week will follow 'til we meet again.
Tuesday Favourite full of Grace
Even on a night like this,
sickle moon and frosty night.
warm sun and pale blue sky
darkening as a sickle moon
on its back promises a frosty night;
the falling sun cooling in the west.
Tomorrow will be Tuesday

sickle moon and frosty night.

Nights of Summer
Our hands phased through fallen clouds at morning.
For whatever reason that the mountains cast them down to wander as restless spirits,
their inquisition interred an epoché to the ground.
At a drop of the flying kettle,
once the mountains repent their fog,
the concrete, panting from the trees' early calisthenics,
releases beside invasive herbs
low pressure flurries of sweated dew.
And breathing in,
now that there are no more clouds fuming from an insulated earth,
the air fluffs along the tongue —
a dente crisp of the moon — ...

DEEP THOUGHTS AND LOVE
DEEP THOUGHTS AND LOVE
Bird, l want to fly like you,
but l don't have wings to do.
I'd like to fly and to glide,
Looking down at distant land.
I'll be free and soar, dear bird,
through the heights that none can reach
and see the clouds from above
how they hide people from me.
I'll keep going higher up
till l find a peaceful place.
There, l'll glide and meditate
on this life and people's fate.
Thoughts and gliding take me down,
and the cloud curtain is drawn.
I see people once again,
but...

Loving Life A Choice - - - Haiks 7.0
(i) Think
People pontificate
About living others lives
They don't understand
(ii) Refuse
Refuse to be owned
It's my life, my decisions
Mine to choose the end
(iii) The Swiss
Get some assistance
Go to Switzerland for help
Death with dignity
(iv) Fear
Some fear their own death
I am just not scared of death
dying is to be feared
(v) Blessed Be
what a blessed release
from the pain and suffering
death can truly bring
(vi) Life

Morning Visitor
Seeing you here, hearing you here, just knowing you're here; makes my pulse quicken. Seeing you strip off; your clothes all silken couture elegance draped over your frame, now just a nonchalantly discarded pile of rags. Watching you move, your long, lithesome limbs; smooth and pale where the summer rays have not yet kissed your skin. You step under the shower leaving the door open, knowing that I can see you reflected clearly in the full length mirror, knowing that I am transfixed by you, beguiled by your inscrutability, bewitched by your obvious physical charms and baffled by your attraction...
