Monitoring self,
nature made her decisions:
disaster rained down…

The water rose—
Life sank beneath the level;
hope floated above…

Like Noah, we wait…
flooding water standing still—
Vultures roost on wires.

None experience
Born with silver spoon in mouth
Not call it a dream

A void of Facebook
Creativity dies here...
Procrastination!

Patience

breezeless summer day -
motionless on lily pad
frog waits for victim

Under starlit dome,
across the empty ocean,
I sail all alone.

Clouds full to the brim
Dancing footfalls jingle down
Melting chocolates

~   daylight... due her nap -


               kissed the bashful sea's rough cheek... 


                              as he blushed crimson   ~

Raven Blue twilight,

Existence epitomized,

Formless shadows lurk.

Come closer my love
touch softly with stolen light
a Winter’s darkness

~     window between us,


               your breath freezes like fine lace ...


          goodbye's frigid fringe     ~

Teamwork could happen.
Challenge to get ahead now.
Expect some to crash.

(beautiful!) Immense 
and Poseidon-like,—the sea
washes o'er my soul. 






 

arc - parabola
life - our parabolic bow 
ends that never meet

Strokes after midnight
received a distant sad news
a swallow has flown

Watch over us dear
I kept my prayers for you
frosted in flowers

Moonlight metaphor
The blind stars are his best friends
The great sea my  heart  

God made all people
But some better than others?
Stop being silly.

If you make fun of Him, then you make fun of me, that is a Blood Sport.

Paris gave us much
from romance to this plaster
white Eiffel Tower

Meant to make a choice
My heart is pounding fast
Close the final door

the less i have of
the additional use of
the more it breaks down

birds retort
wind whispers riddles untold
patience hears

Basking in moonlight,
Old birds remember the nest.
Ruffles my feathers.

The body: sacred
We’re all made in God’s image
Hence... circumcision?

If you see something important, 
tell all, if not, tell some> Don't stop.

I get tired at school
Because they're only sheep and
I'm just counting them

strelitzias die -
shrunken birds of paradise
sag between green leaves


* It is now autumn in the Southern Hemisphere.
Strelitzia is a genus of five species of perennial plants, native to South Africa.  A common name of the genus is bird of paradise flower.

Pop may be catchy
But not lyrically deep
Case in point: Chris Brown.


(N.B. Poem written after hearing "Don't Wake Me Up")

Ruth by the window;

eating an  yogurt...

it's hurts the road of memory.

The philosopher has blades;
He wants to dissect
the body of life.

Beneath the icy shroud
Silence is screaming - gasping
To breathe to survive

purest of all lakes
sweetest cake ever tasted
loveliest music not yet composed

Precipitation:
Culminates in a washout
Stuffed camels get soaked

Water licks your feet
Far cry from the beating sun
Desert sand to sea

Dewdrops visit blooms
at night and leave by daybreak:
A secret affair.

Click clack; Sole on soul.
Swaying shoes to the rhythms 
The beat makes you whole.
