The Unfinished ArchiveIn lacquered boxes, six feet down,
Rest whispers of the unbought crown -
The paintings left in mental drafts,
The kindness stored away in crafts.
Between the satin folds they place
The morning walks at slower pace,
The letters crumpled, never...

Forgive Me
Forgive Me I do request,
where does all my time go?
The day gets started,
then ends so fast.
My work piles up,
seems like I am never done.
So please forgive me,
my work needs to be worked on. ...

Behind Closed DoorsWe all have a part,
Locked behind doors in our heart.
We treasure it with care,
As if it were a work of art.
Soon those doors open wide,

Times DivideI stray
on purpose
my will
redeemed
When left
of center
to swim
upstream
Against
the grain
my future
hides
On roads
less traveled
past times
— divide

I wishI wish your look were true
I wish the words would not be carried away by the wind

Sweet TeaFearing
that day
when the
music stops
My steps
remeasure
my soul
takes stock
Rueing
that moment
when time
is gone
My tea
resweetens
all words
— in song

Better In TimeThere were so many things to see
Fun tunnels to crawl through
Large rocks to climb
So many adventures here and there
It was so amazing to my young eyes
Now that I am back
Things are not the same

Sometimes humans, sometimes notSometimes we are humans, sometimes not.
Witnesses are the past and the present occurrences of the world.
Witnesses are the endless time and the greatest human beings of this earth.
Sometimes they are humans, sometimes not.

The purpose of it allWere we not in the cage of space,
mocked by incessant flow of time,
how then would we imbibe God’s grace
and weave a beauteous love rhyme?
To the throb of bliss beats we sway,
meditation sans volition,
with no agenda...

Timorous leaves whisper my secrets to the breeze.
A sentinel of time I am among the malus trees.

Face to Face with TimeI came face to face with time
It was all sublime.
Nothing was as it seemed
For I thought “surely it must have been dreamed.”
I was shown the past, present, and future.
Then I heard the words, “are you...

I ask that you do forgive me, please
Judging poems is no spiffing wheeze
Needing some skills but no degrees
As reading always takes some time
Seeking syllable counts and rhyme
Few are trash or destined to be ash
