When I leave this life before you do
Do as I please, I ask of you
Let them know you love me
Let them know you’re mine
While that may not have happened in this lifetime
Then that would put my heart at peace
Let go of pains and heartaches
That secrecy brought me so
In the final resting place
The what-ifs and must-have-beens
They all with [...]

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 [...]

Your memory still haunts, and smiles in my mind,
As a garland, of rainbow on the neck of
Sodden clouds, impatient to shed its attire.
You the me, and me the you
We were born in places far apart.
Like the driftwood close in, on the shores,
We floated in the ocean, of populace.
And one day drifted close, as strangers…
Autumn:
Formal nodding, [...]

The acquiescent delight in the heart meekly exhaled,
Is seeking you, as the stream, for the ocean;
Like the brook hugging the sandbank, meander
By kissing the shores, then swells into a river
In its thrust to reach the Ocean, finally
Become roaring waves, accosting you.
My dearest, I tender my veneration as tears…
My homage brimming from the heart [...]

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 [...]

Mislaid heavens! You have given me
A throne of plaintive domain, a broken one,
Where groans, are whisking, from all sides.
The smiling sky with the rainbow of love
Has disintegrated and wandered away from meโ€ฆ
She dried up my tears with her heart touch
Writing radiant dreams in my eyes;
Thrusting ravishing poesy in my lips
Transformed as a [...]

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 [...]

Archipelago III
Islands keep appearing.
Some slowly,
Some jutting up abruptly,
Some playing Hide and Seek
Like my dream lover.
She appears, she disappears,
She is angry, hurt,
Sometimes consoling,
But always indignant,
Justified, always right, and
Alone.
Alone is the largest island:
Safe, a fortress against feeling,
Like Jonah in the Whale.
The islands that jut up in this
Sea of Consciousness are
Small but potent:
The most rugged islands [...]

I like to play computer games
filled with blood and gore
mowing down my enemies
and beating the high score.
Its gaming that I aim to do
Its gaming I do best
I spend all day, I spend all night
with religious zest.
I’m not addicted, I’m not stuck
but just one more game.
I need to get some sleep this week
it [...]

A date with Danny
To teach great grandson how to fish.
As soon as he can hold a pole
Weโ€ll head to the old fishing hole
Where sunnies, carp and bass
Swim and hide in tall grass.
Heโ€ll learn to bait a hook,
Cast his rod into the brook.
When his bobber goes up and down
Heโ€ll know a fish is [...]
