As a mortal man of threescore and five years...

I bore witness and/or assimilated, gleaned,
and nursed implacable thirst for knowledge
courtesy reading factual narratives,
historical fiction, or biography
that since the advent of Homo sapiens
avast number of civilizations

You make me feel so complete	 
You brought me up to my feet
You’re the good company that I’d like to greet
I shouldn’t ever doubt you – you’re such a treat 

I tried so hard not...

(Warning: it has a sexual theme...)

Imagine you and I 
Together, we will fly
But, first and foremost,
Let's spread butter to the toast 

Suicide nervana plays me like the piano player to the piano 
It's a ride...

Saw you cry cry cry and pout
No doubt...I don't care anymore
What are you crying about?
Can't you see I'm jaded to the core?

I hear people preaching about marriage
When they're married themselves!
No humility! Just overrighteous and like...

Writing words that don't fit the occasion
It's as if I am lacking a genuine sensation
If only you'd stop stomping on me as if I'm the mat at your front door
My head is in the murky...

I wish people wouldn’t take me for granted…
I wish people would understand I get angry
I wish people wouldn’t mention things that hurt others…
I wish people would not gossip and let me be

I wish people wouldn’t...

Peter, Charles and I were jetting our way to Paris. I’d just woken up. I had to pee so badly it woke me up. It was a medical emergency. I stretched and everything hurt, I...

the goose is putting signature
on the plume detaching from its tail

the queue is overflowed with crowd

groping in the memory of the gathering people 
so many safety pins and cello-tapes
are found  

on the shoulders of...

I shoo away 
  all my twisted creations
 (I can’t let them taint this
      With the vileness
           I spawned...

The life of a stained glass window,
Is a life boring and dull,
You take in rays of sunlight,
And breathe out the colours that swell.

The life of a stained glass window,
Oh so boring, oh so dull,
You give...

Lately, as sure as the sun rises on the eastern horizon 
A certain cheery robin [the same one every day] sits 
On my porch railing and tells me Spring has arrived, 
When I have acknowledged...

Rain beats down on the window pane
As the flood gates of Heaven suddenly open
It is pouring out in torrential flow
Like a Reservoir, all at once broken

It has come down as a welcome respite
To fan away...

She used to stalk her imagination, from her perch in the shadow, on the sill,
And I still step over the spot in the darkness of the grapevine
Where she used to wait for anyone to pass...

We never meant 
to say sorry
it was more of a smoke filled
tiring of breathless gills

The morning wakes us all
all too soon
cats on tables
and cigarettes without a flume

Time tells
all of us will die
hard to be black...

Feeling sad?  
Well that's too bad,
But why mope around in a dark blue funk?  
Don’t let life’s trouble 
Burst your bubble.  
Why waste your time on all that junk?

Nine months of gestational pain 
But for me you bore it with a smile
When it hurts me even a little 
Your heart beat stop for a while 
When I am near you 
Your love wraps...

When I say: 
I will fight to the death for you,
it means
I will spew flames at those who dare
lift a hand and bruise your soul.
I will grind down to ash the person
that ever makes you...

Going, gasping, grasping for breath
Doing, dreading, dancing for death
Walking a mile away, just to be a mile near the end
Friend, fiend, foe all walk hand in hand. 
I leave, and the leaves rustle under my...

Hold on to your seat kids
for you are about to meet me!
I am the super hero who can be
any thing you want me to be!

I can make you be a bear
or a giraffe or a...

Your ship will sink and your star will fall
So you'd better be prepared
I hope you're well seated when you hit that wall
And the spotlight dims its glare
You step from your car like a debutante
You have...

The hammock invites
Fantasy of flight.
Not now though, small boy in tow
"Grangee, watch me play
I'll dump fresh mowed hay,"
His imagination grows

Cat and dog take place
At my sides in space.
Hammock starts to slip and slide.
Scat cat; shoo...

Ichabod Crane sprang from the brain
Of someone most deserving
Of Sunnyside, his proud domain.
His name? Washington Irving.

He also wrote a tale of note
About one Rip Van Winkle
Who found a sleeping antidote
To shoo away each wrinkle.

His home,...

I'm your little Blankie, made by loving hands..
By Angels who are filled with kindness,
and will always understand..
I'll wrap myself around you, to keep 
you warm at night..
And I'll still be covering you with love,
come the...

Nothing is more exhilarating
Than the first warm day of spring
As we shoo away old man winter
Listening to the birdies sing

Crocuses, daffodils, and tulips
Popping up to greet the day
Laughter reigns in nature's abode
Through the merry month...

i change like the bacteria under my fingernails
daily

once i'm under the skin
i begin again

why?

it's because you 
metamorphose in every second

the shift in your eyes 
makes me realize
i know nothing
and enough

all

at the same time  ...

so,
