In Time
Watching any two people, like you, uncertain and alone As they meet on your street, to then stroll and converse In time, they court, the formal dance, they smile and sigh Till laughing, flushed, happy and out of breath, they sit Talking heart-to-heart leads to dialogue, to harmony, to love Opening, joining, sharing fear, […]
Or Not
X marks the spot, cross your heart, hope to die Swear it’s here where your ex was, was not Then your ex, but he or she burned, was cross Cross the street and join me, make no excuse Tightly woven patterns, some may be of use Can we be sure these paths join and diverge […]
I Choose Peace
When in life we reach an age, a need, a trial, a test, the razor’s edge Delving deeper, pondering, reflecting, remembering, planning, hoping Denying, angry, we bargain, we grieve while craving peace, acceptance Until we understand acceptance is a choice with nothing and much to say I wonder the reason for my being, my […]
No Place Safe to Stand
If you find something’s wrong don’t cast about looking for a reason I’m the one to libel, always, I must honestly admit, this or any season You think you’re wrong, you’re incorrect, I’ll swear an oath I did it From simple misspelled words to atom bombs, for all I will take credit The argument […]
Because We Have Not Stopped
Because We Have Not Stopped A Poet’s Words with Poets’ Words When myriad commit cruel murder, macho maniacs brutally rape, mad hermits dream and decimate, Then will we need to know where the sidewalk ends, where a phenomenal woman’s secrets lie With daily tribunes crying madness, feasts of destruction, humanity the savage, ravenous beast Will […]
When a Fan of a Certain Age Attends a Students’ Classical Concert
Hot lights shine, burn yellow, orange, blue and red Reflecting back off crimson shoes and scarlet laces Clashing with those many white and black clad Sharp counterpoint to their serious, sober faces Red the vagrant color corrupts the evening’s show Bright blood, a wound, mimicked by a flautist’s tie Stark food-color hair in back, […]
Along Your Merry Way
In the deepest darkest depths of night When all your thoughts shriek danger, fright When evil looms within your sight Dawn will come When wicked winter winds into your marrow bite When storm-dark clouds bring sleet and snow and ice And every day you live feels black as night Spring will come When every urge […]
Want vs. Care
For want of a seed the shoot was lost. For want of a shoot the plant was lost. For want of a plant the flower was lost. For want of a flower the bee was lost. For want of a bee the plant was lost. For want of a plant the food was lost. For […]
Light, A Distant Vista
Responsible, preoccupied, needs, daily duties, urges to create Atlas beneath my half sky inventing my truth in beauty before I’m late Days fast-paced, so full of shoulds and musts to meet and answer When so few seek either truth or beauty; they don’t pay the financier Is shielding the candle flame from darkness worth the […]
TRIKU II
Triku ~ 5-7-5 ~ equals three word Haiku. I try to give them some sense or make them humorous and I think I succeeded in most cases. Here are my next seven. I hope you enjoy my word play. Indiscriminate Inconsequentially Cannibalistic Pronunciation: Denuclearization Mythological Archeology: Memorialization Figuratively Puritanism: Polarization Continuation Politically Antiglobalization Abnormality Technically […]
