“True story. Paul was a familiar character in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia in the 1970’s. I saw him many times walking the highway between the lakes. One day I gave him a ride.”
See the man walking down the highway.
He wears only ragged shorts and worn-out shoes.
His hair is long and stringy,
His skin is [...]

And it all commenced as everything starts,
Untainted. Anticipating for a scene change.
From different spectrums, yellow parts,
Concrete to aqua pura, no stamp of estrange.
Her school of fish, blowing stacks of caucasian,
Like they owned Mother Nature’s salted season.
So we inhaled the ceremonial occasion,
Lamenting our age of callow reason.
Florida’s finest camouflaged the lucid knave;
He reproduced routine. Interposing confederacy,
Resurrecting [...]

Does anything in this earth, ever perish?
And disappear into nothingness and void?
A leaf, a life, a flower, a song, a rainbow!
A tree, a leaf, or a flower, when it withers
The good earth receives it with pleasure.
It dissolves with the mud, in its source.
The roots take away the substances,
And bring them back to life.
The remnants of [...]

dappled sunlight ever
changing
spread across soft grass
trees ancient and towering
meandering stream
playful fountain
stealing naked into
forbidden pools
shadows deep and cool over
wandering paths with unknown
ends
bird song small creatures scurry
unseen and barely
heard
along the path a ruined tower
stones crumbled and choked
green with moss and ivy
silence filled with nature

It was the day we lost our innocence,
When human nature showed its worst,
And its best.
A day of terror,
Remorse,
Fear and anguish.
September 11, 2001,
The day the world stopped.
I sat watching the pictures in disbelief,
Knowing in my mind what was happening,
But in my heart, believing this could never be.
My plan that day was to buy a new computer,
But [...]

passions, love
This night, these melodies, these festivities,
My angel!, will vanish into thin air..
The dreams we fondle today, will yield to harsh realities.
The mirth we hold on our lips, will fade to whimpers.
It is perfect while it lasts, ecstatic, sweet, and passionate.
Every moment a celebration!
Every night an odyssey, through the shores of
Lascivious pleasures and passions.
Every morning, [...]

Playing a game in the squash court,
With rebounding emotions of the heart
As the soft ball, till it bleeds and withers
And the opponent decorating his lips with
A deceptive smile and the gait of a winner,
Walks away and you’re left alone!
The rules were fair, the play a barbarity
Savage words and bitter strokes
Yet I [...]
