The New Year’s Air
The air gives off a serious aura It’s time to buckle our belts and tie up the hay It’s the season to plant eager expectations What’s the end harvest gonna be? We’re not certain but we hold onto hope We’re told hard work pays off in the end So it’s the more reason to roll ...The Unreachable Horizon
I walk hypnotically In slow motion Toward the unreachable horizon Lured by a shimmering mirage Lying between the wavering sky And the quivering ground The datum points Where sunset plunges down And the world’s golden eye Loses her crown Mesmerized I mindfully turn my back On nightfall’s widening crack Until my weary eyes Awaken to hear the sound Of moon shadows Haunting her sacred groundA Mirror Image Of You
Do not worry, dearBecause of youEvery new dayEthereally illuminatesYour enchanting artworkThat hangs proudly on every wallEvery nostalgic talismanA mirror image, of your brave soulThere, for me to emulate and stay strong Do not worry, dearBecause of youMy enthusiasm for lifeShall continue to thriveYou taught me the benevolenceOf ExistenceAnd you showed me how to live graciouslyWith your everlasting ...A Clear Blue Jar
Lying here daydreaming Gazing up at the sky Wondering how We perceive hues?Why is our sky blue? And why say “feeling blue” When it’s not true The blue I see Is no one’s fool So why tease me I swear, every face in the crowd Wore your forever smile Which shines on every dial Like yesteryear’s last mile Facing your time in style Happy faces, new and ...Cinnamon Toast
a bowl of cereal, and a slice of cinnamon toast I watch morning blackbirds perch on fence posts our streetlamp posts are receiving new globes down the village road there is the historic community Post Office where my daily poetry posts are again, free to roam. to every remote outpost I am no longer a frozen igloo host or a nomadic poet meandering in slow motion around ...Dream Harder
Hello, Mister Moon Have you enough time? To drop by And fill my empty spoon With memories and rhymes I am feeling tired and bland My quill needs a helping hand The poet’s barren ink well Is requesting a magic spell. Dear Mister Moon Have you enough time? To drop by And light up my room With a dream-time pantomimeTimeworn
My ancient limbs are wearyTimewornFrom trying to walk on waterBut I am able enoughTo leave a footprint in the sandBefore the tide returns again I am not deaf or blindMy eyes can hear the soundOf a merciless warShredding families apartThe nation’s folks areCrying rivers of tearsWhich are spirituallyFlooding their sacred townsWhere Have The Faeries Gone?
Deep in the enchanted forestUnder mossy rocks and water-reeds I found an iron-bar doorLying over a sinkhole in the creek bed I wondered and yelled out“Hello! Is anyone down there” Eerily, a gentle voice replied“Do not worry, we are sheltering here” “Why are you hiding?” I inquired “We are waiting for humanity to stop the carnage on our planet” Then, ...A Half-Withered Water-Reed
My life was like a half-withered water-reed Swaying alone, in the winter breeze I floated between yellow and brown hues And then I fell into an ocean of purple and blue Without a splash, I sank like a lead balloon Halfway down, I rolled over and saw a glowing half-moon Slowly, I swam back to the glimmering surface Where, I realized, ...My Safe Love
Strolling down the narrow street,Fingers interlocked in a loving gripMy love, I hear the rhythm of your heartbeatIt pounds in perfect harmony with mineThe roses sparkle with a deeper hue todayTheir fragrance saturates the air around usNature has become an entourage on our walk of desire A few more steps in hopeful delightWe reach the ...
