For once…
Could you for once, listen to my beckoning you?
I am sinuous like an empty sound,
With sobs, sighs and signs flowing towards you.
In the wilderness of anguish, I was wondering
And probing my mirage, of my passions.
The dreams I beheld has corroded
By the storm generated by, endless time.
Blossomed sweetness of frangipani, in the garden,
Has disappeared from [...]

Burned by the quantavolution of your soul,
stronger than farther. Turning away from
your intent, I am seared, overwhelmed with
faded postcards and memories of things
other people said. I, awe struck with urge,
turn away still to find I orbit you in
passing. I am as I always was; I stand
beside infinity and weep. No wings where
once was bone, memories [...]

The little old house
At the end of the lane
Empty now,
Things will never be the same.
Once full of
Laughter and happiness,
Sits now in total decay
Since the owners,
The Berry’s have passed away.
The parties and picnics
That were given
Remain in the memory
Of those still living.
Each holiday had its’ displays
Thanksgiving and Christmas
The most beautiful always.
Funny how time and life
Pass on,
But good [...]

Lingering Memories
In my youth, before my teens
My fondest dream was
Leave Home
To sail the briny sea.
I pictured landing on foreign shores
Meeting new people
Who spoke a language?
Unlike ours.
Explore their land
See new things
Eat their food
And hear them sing.
Coming of age I got my wish
But not in the manor I dreamt
Our nation was pulled
Into a war not meant.
The [...]

I’m a child of the ’50s, and when, as a boy,
Had lots of ambition, but not many toys,
So the forest was my playground, the trees were my space,
I would rather be there than in any old place.
I would live in the treetops and hide in the leaves,
The boughs were my rooftop, the branches, my eaves,
And [...]

That evening, when I bid farewell to you,
I could discern the love ablaze in your eyes;
Crying with its mute twinge of the soul, flowing out
As tear drops through the corners of your eyes.
However you tried in vain, to contain those tears,
The stream of intense passion came out
As a cascade of nectar, breaking its waves
Flailing in [...]

My lost dreams! you have set
A throne for me full of woes
My lost paradise! You have weaved a
A crown of thorns for my pate.
Spring and summer is gone
I see the dead dried leaves in the earth
Winter is cruel, though it leaves
Some moisture on the leaves..
The heart is in agony
For the deceit of my love
My life [...]

The Dream
Have you ever awakened
In the middle of the night
All sweaty and trembling
Shaking With fright?
Only to realize
It is just a bad dream
That woke you
With a loud scream.
Can you remember
The delight
As you returned
To pillow sleeping peacefully
The rest of the night?
Do you wonder
Why such dreams occur?
Was it something
In past life
ย Your memory bestirred?
The mind is [...]

as i lie awake, at twilight
in the tv’s after glow
past strung out
like photographs
light flickering,, just so…
silent movies
brought to life
on my minds silver screen
immortalized celluloid memories
things that may
or may not have been…
accuracy no longer matters
as it all plays out
in black and white
our love affair
edited to perfection

Archipelago II
The islands of the Aegean Archipelago
Were scattered like the islands in
Her memory of Helen.
The largest was the landscape of love,
Shared, then lost, the most populated with memories.
Then on to the most craggy of the lot:
Rough spots, cliff-hangers, if you will–
Some that had left them dangling by a fraying rope,
Some whose views from the [...]
