I couldn’t know any better My ego was holstered Blinded, she was like-minded Suddenly, my confidence was bolstered — It was spring and I felt the zing My eyes spotted her shadow Sassy she was My face was flush, aglow — She dropped from a double rainbow I had imagined her before Misty-eyed, as the … More The Endless Enigma
Somewhere in the silvery mist Dreams are transformed into escrow Beyond consciousness they prosper Ethereal, in the mind’s eye, a rainbow — Willowy clouds float as thought-balloons Encapsulating hopes soaring skyward I let them go, free of Earthly hold Honorable, keeping to my word — Angel-hair threads of fairy dust Caught in the dreamcatcher’s net … More Release Your Dreams to the Sky
Reconciliation is a zero-sum game Karma delivers the mail All prayers are filtered by God While you create the wind in the sail — Trading tomorrow for more todays Devalues the person you could become Always take the long way home Peace and love from your green thumb — Dreams strewn along lonely streets Waiting … More Dollars and Incense
Days of future remembrance Dreams beyond my stretch Of a life no one really inhabits Something else to kvetch — Time is just a hypnotist’s bobble Cannot parse the fake from real So many characters, all this fantasy Stay around for the reveal — Beautiful is my favorite color No majesty in fawning majestic The … More Within Reach
Maybe it’s me, or perhaps it’s she Through the snow and interference Every night at the stoke of one Her ghostly image makes an appearance — She has a lonesome, disembodied tone Climbing down from my dream The sand still coating my blurry eyes At six she disappears back into the stream — She arrives … More Test Pattern Girl
A retreat to recalibrate Getting to know me The stillness is my song Even my shadow is carefree Do not fear aloneness Embrace it openly Reconcile the musty past History is your eternity This respite is a turnabout Along an unwritten journey Breathing in the spectral day Threading together each memory I’ve wandered and lived … More Homebody
My companion, the late night tube Forever friends all these years Sleep, the inconsiderate party guest An alternative for late night beers — Maybe I’m actually a vampire Since nighttime is my playground Could this explain my howling And pace restlessly like a wolfhound — I long for my plasma screen Eyes glued on the … More Fell Asleep With the TV On
Moments are hopeful, wishful. Time is a demon, independent-minded. Not doddering, but cagey. Memory blinded. Inventing reassuring stories. Lost in our own shadow. Gray, ghostly sunsets. Missing flavors of the rainbow. Keeping ourselves at arm’s length. Leaning on a crutch of a dream. Safely for any tomorrow. Circling on the Gulf Stream. What is gone, … More It’s Never Too Late
In a matter of days, I retire from my fulltime job. Twenty-one years is the longest I have ever worked at the same job in my forty year public service career. I could have retired several years ago, but the timing was not ideal. Funny how a complete makeover in your life suddenly becomes the … More Retirement (Recalibrating)
An overdose of existential dulls my cognition Unraveling a thread from a neuron knot Stretching it endlessly around the cosmos Floating above it all, a visceral astronaut ## Newton says we will fall back to Earth Tumbling thru the gray matter of the mind Concentration drifting as synapses fire A Technicolor rainbow but I’m color-blind … More I Had Too Much to Think Last Night
