The Queen of Taken
She has soft, but mud-drenched hands
I’ve befriended her

Little Light
Ought I bake a cake with this
One I whip up on the fly
A pretty thing to be consumed
Ultimately?
Do I don the corduroy
Deep thinking, feigned or actual
With elbows patched so scholarly
Egotistically!
Shall I sit alone with this
As ancient wisdom would advise
Perhaps eternally, but seek
Tranquility.
Or will I simply walk with you
In sweet-smart cameraderie
Joining hands from East to West
Intimately….
My Neighbor: A Haiku
Spill it, the sugar
Suffer you, the consequnce
Chasing after me
Contained
Unthaw me
Shroud and shield me if you must
Reign over, rain on
Strike me sober
I can’t care, if that’s your way
All you do, I know it’s true!
Will ultimately unthaw me
Repeat Pretender
A pompous, polished bandera
Hand-woven in top-quality, one hundred percent Grade AA American lies
Little stars at the center, numbed
With trumpet-fare, staked, time and again
Atop your own mountain
The Same Measure
Look with me
Far enough up
Forgive the atmosphere, layered
Its pain, its shame
See with me
Filterless skies
Redeem them, though unasked
Their Gossamer egos, thin skin
Bailer
Never, during his entire mad, unmanaged spree
Could he see, though he claimed to look
Could he understand, though he claimed to know
Could he love, though he claimed a heart
I, then, left cut, scattered, chasing, winded
Summit
Like a trudge up a hill in the mud
In my Sunday best and all
Clearly, I’m doing it wrong
All wrong
Eyes shut, I’m to don a red cap
In the end, all will be great again
Clearly, as mud it is
The Art of Making
The Scene: You are an actor and I, an epic script
With minds to set the screen afire
With hope upon our lips
The Method: Be emboldened and feel the risk with me
We’ll project timeless, endless strength
We’ll cast doubt to the sea
Last Ditch
Have you felt invisible
Made from supernatural
Then unmade by someone’s lack?
So have some of us
We become as sunflowers, though
We watch for a flicker
We turn in accordance
We thrive in The Light
