two decades?..dreaming of her
2008-05-16 22:07:00
For two long decades I have yearned to be inside the reckoning periphery of this carefree angel. She sings sweet melodies, everyday as she sweeps the cobwebs from the corners of the attic where I keep her In my mind?.. At a moment distant and I am idyll, browsing torrid ramblings for a chuckle. An anonymous spectator ducking from news to journal to oddity to abhorration. Then ...

lament for Lester
2008-05-15 05:56:00
I remember well my dearest Grandpa, his crooked smile, laugh and languid wave. A young child, I did not know what he saw, or that he made a protest which was brave. Even then I?d seen, hard times fell on him, but the young me didn?t know why or how. While pursed lips grasped the cold beer bottle rim, it seemed ...

Hail Ignatius, the Trinity see, eyes bruised by iniquity broken legs don’t traverse bloodshed so read lullabies in your bed …..to develop ability Reject the world’s civility for a hermit’s agility. ‘Til the hungry spirit is fed. Hail Ignatius…. So soldier turned authority creates a new community. Since from regret you quickly sped- through scruples’ trials we are led, with an air of tranquility. Hail Ignatius……

monkey bars
2008-05-11 02:42:00
Old enough now to reach the monkey bars, and bigger kids across the rungs all zoom, while kids behind me just won’t give me the room, like honks and whirs from all the passing cars. I think of bumping one and cartoon stars. A quick glance behind catches Mom’s smile bloom. Again, turning to the arch, my fears boom, and I just ...

ghazal for the moon
2008-05-10 03:55:00
The boring sun remains stiff in the sky, static. Cycles are found in the inconstant, cryptic moon. The smooth orb smiles with barely an audible blemish. Probes reveal the crater ridden, rustic moon. Brilliant stars glitter, competing for attention, defeated by the soft, melodramatic moon. Dispelling darkness with our new technology, is not reliable as the electric moon. Fighting the tides of time ...

Fireman?s Ballad (9-11)
2008-05-06 17:39:00
A man awoke on that morning, not knowing of his fate. The bleak day already churning, for him it was too late. A cup of coffee in his hand, he briefly checked his suit. To answer bravery?s command- his friends were all en route. Oh the day when terror hit us- A day for heroes bold. We can?t forget those who saved us; Their story must ...

compassion
2008-05-02 16:34:00
Why is compassion more easily expressed by those who think they can do something to help? Take that away and you will find faces sour. So is our charity truly altruistic, or just for the purpose of fanning our egos?

the race
2008-04-28 17:44:00
There are no worried rumors of women taking to the streets, pelting people with their handbags and taking high heels to windows. No cries of subjugation, even when her fashion is debated with her policies and we ignore how we once debated the length of her neckline. So we hold the reign of power over an empire hostage tugging at ...

sanctuary
2008-04-27 14:50:00
knees kneeling on broken glass a plea rising up from the plunging mind of emotional destitution swiftly the weather turns when eyes open from dreams to notice coincidence find solace in smooth lines embellished with ornate gold trimmings in a new wave of contemplation downward turned gaze glistening fiberwood tan body hangs crowned above gentle fiberglass hands guard penitent indigo flames from prying minds for the faithful there’s a secret treasure found in the sanctuary of welcomes smiles and friendly faces singing and the shards of crushed thoughts are reformed as a puzzle fitting together for the air to glue the seams

burst

Where is that voice that was just there? Chattering incessantly at me last week. Mangled thoughts and dreams of a higher thinking thrusting forward. Now replaced by gentle sunshine and carefree laughter. Supplant the circling mind with fun and cease the pacing.  There is no deliberation in the moment.
