I swear to myself
I will fortify the gates
I swear this to god
Creeper
What when all you allowed to stifle you
Exhales
Turns tail
And walks away with the stench of fraud hanging from its defeated bones
Might you then heave and gasp for the first time since your youth
Breathe
You will
When what all you allowed saves you
Dense
Within the deep green foliage
I see colors promising
To burst up through the day’s wreckage
And say that all’s okay
But I’m telling you
I tell myself
All they are
Are liars
Peacemakers: Another Haiku
Listen will you hear
Women with sing-song voices
Man that needs her so
Unfolding
A notion arose
With the rain
The light
The flower petals each
The hope shone
Then on bird’s wing
On bee’s brow
On childrens’ wisdom hence
On truth’s dusk
Where with Autumn chill
With anguished pill
With hope debrided
Freedom Ring: Another Haiku
Lord lift me upright
King keep my heart in these days
Father free my mind
Marionette
Be my DJ baby
Spin what you know slays me
Play no well-worn grooves
Compel all my moves
Latin if you please
Rock my world with ease
Soul will find its way
New Age and I may
Now -I don’t mean maybe
Be my DJ baby
Beyond 360°
I didn’t want windows
compressors or tunnels.
I wanted air
in my lungs and on my skin.
It is now.
Drive: Another Haiku
Without the water
Will the world spin without me
Or will I set pace
Perception
Actual
Virtual
Premonition
Hope
Discerning you
Always
A mystery
They think
