The Mighty Monarch-
beautiful by design-
yet stealthy-
camouflaged-
hidden-
when faced with danger-
irresistible-
taste is bittersweet-
deadly to the adoring stranger-
metamorphosis-
escape from the warmth
of her cocoon-
sets free the anger
at being entombed
so she flys away too soon
beauty fly’s
and a perceived threat
clings to life
beauty lured me in
I was the one with
the cup and card
after I got …

Floating Numbly in the Status Quo…

CLICK FOR AUDIO
Aimless, numb in the status quo.
Where else to go?
A blind man repairing a broken ego.
Since we cant be together, just because you say so
Can I at least be the one you wont get over.
Let me be your one regret.
All I have done has been
To repay a karmic debt …

Hypnodrive.
A term that the writer in me would love to claim.
It might be my fabrication.
Doesn’t matter.
Can’t trademark or copyright it.
Hypnodrive.
That dreamy state that came from driving a long distance.
White line fever.
Similar sensation.
Not really asleep.
Hypnodrive.
Pairs with sudden awareness.
You have arrived at your destination.
So engrossed in thought that you don’t …

FILIA – [Latin] daughter; female off-spring
My Darling Filia;
You should have been the love of my life, besides God with your mother, and have a very special place in my life. You were to be the culmination of all the good, of all the growth, of all the blessings …

Love is in the Air

CLICK FOR AUDIO
Today I remembered they say Love is in the air.
I’ve been stifled in my life–is it my life?
I cant breathe.
What I thought I knew turned to nothing.
What is to come is still unknown.
The one thing I know for certain ?
I am alone.
Feels like I’m floating
in a dream-must be …

Their words in bold italics,
tumbling from their mouths.
Exclamation points, asterisks,
parentheses, and footnotes.
Hidden messages.
Covert meanings.
Clever diversion,
in masked clarifications.
More to the story
left unsaid.
Never-mind the
Noise from their mouths.
and lips moving.
Inner voices, no escape.
And would not be ignored.
There is something
to be said for that.
More of the story
left unsaid.
Never-mind-

Tornado Hawk

CLICK FOR AUDIO
There is a great wind
like the Hawk on a Chi – town lake.
Blowing hard to get past.
Over, under, around all sides.
With my futile resistance, it blusters through,
Slices me to get where it must go.
Copper smell permeates. Lifeblood pollutes the shore.
A tornado springs
like from a tale about a Kansas …

Our House is Lonely, The Dogs Are Dead

CLICK FOR AUDIO
I sit on our old porch often thinking of you, and wishing the plans we had for the house had come true. She has had many years of happy families, and empty- she cries like me.
It is so sad. On the side is the deflated pool where the …

Man In Black, Standing in the Light

You Call Me Johnny, I’ll Call You June
Watch the kids get older, under the Jamaican moon.
Or the front porch of our mountain home, where what we have is always enough.
Known the world ’round as one of the truest Loves known to Man.
The task seems unapproachable, a look from …

To Whom It May Concern,
Though I have known you long, and well, it seems you have made us into strangers. I do however know I have loved you, I do love you, and will continue to love you.
Memory, and five pronged sensory recall make it hard to imagine …
