-
Bathed in stark black and white
I see your form in the light.
-
Irrational, unreasonable…
fear rises unbidden to paralyze.
-
It’s funny how the truth always seems to change
as we go through life, we seem to rearrange
-
Anger’s nova…
incendiary words
-
-
As the sun softly sets and the evening appears
the hunger returns. Tonight somebody’s tears
-
A union of purpose
making each other whole.
-
Sleight of words
ambiguity of meaning
-
Green eyes scan the room
and come to a halt.
-
Water songs softly
fill my drifting spirit
-
Langston Hughes
Let America be America again.
Let it be the dream it used to be.

Your kiss
as soft as angel’s wings
-
Trapped with a prison built of falsity
I struggle to remember who is really me.
-
We honor and revere
the giants of peace
-
The sun was almost setting as Hope hurried down the trail.
As she ran toward her home, she knew that she would fail
-
Times passes in the outside world but here remains the same.
Written in a trembling hand, the final words explain
-
-
Crackling tears burn
candent channels
-
From an early age
never wavering in
-
Inked needles
pierced flesh
-
Something went awry, somewhere along the line.
We stayed in the trees while you climbed down the vine.
-
Memory fuses with memory.
The past becomes much lighter
-
Entombed
in a dark pit of my own making
-
Warm tatters of sunlight,
caught in her hair,
-
-
Insect like, memories crawl
from my soul
-
Weeping crimson tears
from notches on my soul,
-
-
Walking the shores in the fading light
my shadow stretches, dark as night,
-
The end of the year and it’s time to cram.
My whole future’s riding on one darn exam.
-
Words softly float
in the darkness…
-
-
-
Her eyes…
I remember her eyes…
-
I count from one to thirty as they get on the bus.
We’re heading on a field trip and I don’t want a fuss
