Poems

Onset of first 2023 heatwave
found yours truly lulled to sleep
courtesy rattle and hum...

We skipped the light fandango, turning cartwheels 'cross the floor,
no one knew who wrote the song,...

Shackles and chains, our brains are dangerous places, imagine what is currently real, why do we let others...

The road to comfort, is paved with discomfort.

The road to safety, is paved with danger....

Our morning routine.
Coffee pot on a timer,
Please dad let us out!

The wooly pully hid her curves
not that she had many
but hid it did and hid them well...

I don’t feel welcomed
My emotions
Yes I drown myself in them
Turn a blind eye to them...

Sooner the monsoon the better
For never will an unfledged urchin become the butterfly
Lost...

This one will take you deeper than the bottom of the sea.
To the lowest depths where all regrets...

Working 9 till 5 to keep me alive, working 9 till 5 because I've gotta survive.

From the 9 till 5,...

They say there were thirteen alongside Jesus,
maybe the extra could have been one of us;
...

In twilight and shadows
a sovereign prince
cloaked in bristling freedom,
muscled in...

Moment by mirror,
breath by air,
heart by beat,
every single step
that was...

FOR WHAT YOU ASK I AM THANKFUL FOR MANY THINGS IN MY LIFE
MY HUSBAND, MY CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN...

IF EVERYONE WAS WELL OFF NOT JUST A FEW
IMAGINE IF EVERYONE WAS TALENTED
OR IMAGINE WHAT YOU...

Thus yours truly resigns himself
June first two thousand and twenty three
to imagine being...

Look deep into my desolate eyes and tell me what you see.
Can you feel the malefic force that swarms...
