AnticipatoryInspired by “Poems and Poets” by Anne Winter
“For once in my life,
I want to be a poem” — Anne Winter
If I were a poem
could my poem be a poet?
If such could be done
who besides me would know it?
If my poem—as a poet—wrote something new
could I as a poem be the other poem too?
Or would I...

Peace After Chaos
Trying to be everything
for everyone took its toll
on her body, mind, and soul.
Concerned loved ones implored her
to slow down and simplify
her life. Prayers and compassion
led to peace after chaos.

Cyber WarfareUpon my graduation from MIT,
they didn’t hand me a diploma.
They handed me a mask—
and a seat at the table of shadows.
They called me Director,
but in truth, I became a ghost in the wires—
a puppeteer of perception,
twisting public minds like wind turns leaves.
We didn’t drop bombs.
We dropped whispers—
tweets, headlines, a viral meme.
We knew the frequency of...

Is this immoral to you or am I just too excited?JULY 2023
Hazy, Rampant, Hammering
Foggy-headed, I must be lazy enough to put just the right effort in.
It drips down and stains the pore.
My disease is acidic, fatal,
And the way that your alkali sense draws me in ...
How I'd beg to neutralise once more.
But the ants won't push against my unmoving tyres.
And anywho, isn't this against your...

I just want to walkFEBRUARY 2024
I've got the shoes of life on the wrong way
so chop off my legs and let me walk with the stump,
so I won't have to take this anymore.
I'd rather walk left, left, left
than right, right, right
to fall into your arms, into your ballad of wrongs.
But I'd rather walk right, right, right
than left, left, left
to...

We Need a New WorldWe need a new world
A new one. But eternal, ancient
Without psychology. But with life
The life. The original. By God
The heart. Honest reality. Sky
God’s love is life. Love, eternal
Let it pass this life. Comes new past
Passing life
Passed lives
A new world
We need
Pass
Away
This
Life

Lake of BlueJANUARY 2024
Hello, person.
My person, who bathes and drifts in the steaming lake of blue
And chirps a melody of solitude
While strumming the oak guitar for the blaze.
Hello to you--
If you want to hear my thoughts.
My person, whose eyes bleed of the weeping willow's dye,
Who holds the warmth of the stars in their skin,
Who holds the wisps...

Annie’s SongCan I find the words to say, just what you mean to me today
And what you’ve meant to me, throughout these forty years gone by
We first met at that meet n greet, a low brick wall became our seat
And then you seemed to find me sweet and my heart skipped a beat
We lived so many...

In the depths of the night, when stars tell their story on the vast and eternal skyIn the depths of the night, when stars tell their story on the vast and eternal sky,
she walks like a shadow of light, with steps of butterflies in colorful flight.
Her beauty is an enigma, a dance of the sun on fields in bloom,
a gentle warmth like the dawn's awakening, embracing the earth.
Her gaze is a...

out of the blue, into the bluein a soft sigh or quiet curse
a bubble of pain
in the embers of a fading fire
sparks of memory
in the hollow of the chest
echoes of love
where the smile doesn't meet the eyes
mania or melodrama

WAKE UP!!!!In the echoes of the night the one lonesome sound of a train not knowing where it’s bound
It rolls on past the towns the rivers and the bends around corners unseen
As danger lays in wait anticipating contemplating its next move along the cold steel rails that’s bound for heaven or bound for hell only...

In the depths of silence, where sounds fade into echoes of longingIn the depths of silence, where sounds fade into echoes of longing,
The veil of mysteries unfolds like a river of thoughts and emotions,
The wind brings whispers from the sea again, a murmur of time,
Beware the sword of choice, for history often makes us fools.
What was noble five centuries or even twenty years ago,
May now be...
