The sun streams in through the thick shades of the room
She did not want to lie more in the shadows of the gloom
Her big heart was broken and she thought she had had enough
Little did she know . . . more

For the festival cry
many at the reflecting pond
see each other see
a lunch time in the park
a man gushing blood on a tree
cops jumping back to catch a
trial day for the
collapsing man on marble
his woman . . . more

(political commentary in prose/poetic form)
The usurpers' convention
wrangled out a vote
The Ukrainians of Russian descent
will fly to Iraq, the Sunnis
to Basque territory
Kirkuk shall be

This poem is a result of what I have seen in my neighborhood today.
Another Arrow
The bright sun greeted my morning
With a wink and warming smile
I could smell the roasting coffee
As songbirds . . . more

The Book
A closed book can never answer
The inner feelings of the soul
Where right and wrong seek approval
As answers can't be found in stone
Reason lurks in every corner
As belief just . . . more

I'm tired of searching for the perfect words,
tired of the reason,
tired of the rhyme;
How can a broken heart

It rained today in buckets
The sky so gloomy and gray
Was that a flower laughing
I sang melodies alone
To the rhythm of the rain
The flowers might have heard me
For when the rain stopped falling . . . more

EMPTY SHELVES
The shelves were often barren
Whispered joys once filled this room
There were hopes often shattered
Yet here they sat finely tuned
No presents graced holidays
The smile gave and . . . more

I wrote the first stanza in a comment to the poem 'Cover Me' by Duckie O., which inspired me.
Shall we dance in the moonlight
On a soft sandy beach
As you sing me soft melodies

"Life is crashing around us,
so we must discuss,
what is truly wrong,
in this song,
of our lives,
that strives,
to have us living away,
from the day,
of all of as one family,
trusting and . . . more

The Wind
The wind has no precept
Unerring in its course
That flouts speculation
That hints of scant remorse
Some say they have answers
They concoct reasons why
Then chase airy serpents
That tease and . . . more

I thought the reasons for my despair
Would somehow vanish into thin air
And I would fly high above the clouds
Where no thought of pain would be allowed
I could see the dawning feel my dreams
As my pillow . . . more

In the quiet of the night,
When all in bed have gone to sleep,
I get to have some time alone,
To think about life real deep.
In the busy of the day,
With all of life's demands on me
There's . . . more

Her image lingered well into the night
I sensed her presence in a dawn so bright
It made me giddy 'though I was alone
Sweet plans of seduction ran through my bones
Certain flowers live on this higher . . . more

The style and tang of refraction
Form elusive gifts we can share
In perceptive built illusion
Of improvisational air
That is stammering for relief
Like a question seeking belief
In quixotic . . . more

Wish I was a genius
Or at least close enough
Solving any problem
Before I'd eaten lunch
Wish I had a dollar
For each mistake I've made
Rolling in the green stuff
Instead of save save save . . . more

tucked behind
ripped out seams
of disrepair... . . . more
