Amountain climbing

A Mountain climbing I will go
over the footpaths
Over the cobblestones
Up and up I go, step by step
higher and higher I climb
Over the boulders and over the rocks
Onwards and upwards

 to the tip pity top I...

A mountain trailing I go

A Mountain trailing I go
with my trusty phone
over the footpaths
Over the cobblestones I go.
Alongside the sanctimonious graveyard
ditches filled with unholy witches
that groan and moan
Like ferocious packs of wolves
In the dark of the...

Sunday afternoon at the saloon

At 3 o'clock on a Sunday afternoon
In the month of June Mr. Cartoon
was heard singing along attune
At the neighborhood saloon
swooning to a swinging bassoon
harmonizing along with the platoon
from Camp Lejeune
all day and all night they...

Rushing dew

Sitting peacefully,
At the window watching
the sun coming up
in the early morning hours
My elbows on the sill
my face pressed against
the glass pane window
I had a bird's eye view.
Of the misty layers of dew
Frantically gathering
and...

In the cool of the early morning

In the cool of the early morning
when the sun just begins to rise
You can see misty layers.
Of soft, serene gray colored dew
with speckles of blue
Flowing gently like a sparkling river
Of colorful crushed crystals
that twinkles against the...

Heartily I say

Heartily I say, rejoice
and be happy.
For among you stands
A pious man,
A holy man,
A chosen man
Who has seen.
Miracles and wonders
Who has seen the heavens.
Open up and the lords.
Spirits come
Pouring down
in thunderous
clouds of...

A vision of cheerful serenity

A vision of cheerful serenity and pleasures of life
My peace of mind comes to me in a dream.
Of white and red checkered linen cloths
Spread Across a picnic table
as far as the eye can see
baskets brimming with delights.
A remarkable assortment...

The cool evening airs

The cool evening air
Sweeps across her moonlit hair
Gently laying, bare her extraordinary beauty.
By a pleasant breeze of fragrant air
That blows gently across her wavey hair.
Hypnotically twisting and flittering
Curling and swirling her...

All are entwined

The composed poem is a living.
Breathing heart beating
roller coaster ride
That touches the beauty.
Of natures mind
like the many flowers
that spread across the cultural fields
By intelligent design, all are entwined.
By the paper, the quill...

Love is in the air

The cool evening breeze
sweeps across her moonlit hair
laying bare her beauty
by the gently air
never have my eyes
seen a maiden so fare
love is in the...

abysmal darkness

The terrible misfortune of one wretched lonesome
Poetic soul in an emotional life who travels helplessly
down a long tunnel with no ending in sight
Passing by the familiar face of abysmal darkness
Who speaks gently to me of eternal nothingness.

Tall preacher dressed in black

There is no death, there is only sleep.

Shouted the preacher, he was a tall man

with a white beard that hung below his waist

He was dressed in black and standing.

On the buckboard of his wagon

in the dark of night, what little light

Deep within your mind

Over many, many sleepless nights

Of agonizing thoughts which creeps

Mysteriously into your poetic mind

Continuously rattling the inner core

of your once unbreachable sanctuary

Deep within your mind

scaled by the weakest enemy

A final kiss

Take my hand
for the last time
my dear, a final kiss
before I appear
weak in this bleak
Time of despair
severed from my treasure
a fool who sought pleasure
by my own measure
With great displeasure
I have lost you...

flock stood up with the vicar

It was Sunday, just about noon
The clapper rang the bell in the steeple
The Church doors opened
and filled with people
The altar lights started to flicker
the flock stood up with the vicar
Singing the hymns with vigor
their hands raised up...

wheat fields and illusions

The fields stretched across the plains
like a sea of yellow rays
glistening off the tops
of little hills of haystacks
floating across the fields
On a throne of wheat
and wearing a golden...

happy and complete

John had a favorite reading chair
near the corner of the room
angled towards the fireplace
with a tall lamp light
set at just the right height
padded with his wife's
embroidered cushions by his side
and a custom-made ottoman under his...

weather beaten faces

This year the farmers are celebrating
the greatest full moon harvest
they ever had in the past hundred years
with a special field they sowed
to be reaped before the arrival of winter,
in the meantime, off in the distance
the church bell rings...

who married a clapper,
a fine banger of the...

cold to the touch


When the paramedics Arrived
and entered the house
On Christmas Eve night
they saw a poor old man
with long wavy gray hair
Wearing a black and red
checkered shirt and corduroy pants
With a gold chain attached to the loop
of his belt,...
