Street Monarch...

Street Monarch

She’s the queen of the streets,
with her stockings always torn.
Everyone she ever meets,
sees her shoes are well worn.

With her fake leather coat,
she sits there, and regales.
Her castle has no moat,
it doesn‘t even have rails.

She’ll take you out with a glare,
that would frighten the devil.
You just got to see her stare,
watch the likely lads shrivel.

PROMISE

PROMISE

If you should go before I do,
wait for me, I will soon be
with you … my soul could not endure
the pain , and I will pray my heart
to cease its pointless beating
I will follow the foot steps
you leave behind until I hear
you call my name ; then we will be
together again,

Mirror Mirror

photo shopping
my tummies too thick
my pecs too weak
Might tweak it up
just a smidge
shrink my beak
Smudge out my
grey and enlarge
my eyes
blur out the wrinkles
and improve my
thighs
Almost done
dye my hair
with the sweep
of the screen
Im a digital
marvel on the
hook-up
scene
Paint in teeth
handsome
smile
post now
wait for all
whose seen
the celli's
ring!

The meeting

The meeting

It's that simple encounter between us
You take my hand and I will follow you into the trees
The earth gives still wine
glowing red

Satori-2

Upanishards
Heavy
Basis of the Light
Musashi's cup of tea
That's a satori

The Sparrow...

Small brown and black trimmed bird
Sat on the fence to look at me
Chirps and twitters barely heard
Winged cheer so wild and free

Small voice that whispers wisdom
Sometimes goes unheard
But, I have learned to listen
To my favorite bird

He counsels me of dangers seen
From his perch up high
He tells of places he has been
Seen with Sparrow's eye

Fast, he flits from branch to eave
A thousand times a day
Nests of twigs and threads he weaves
There isn't time to play

Age Gauge:

For some with a linear mindset
Always a constant pressing fear
Their aging an inexorable onset
Older with every passing year.

Believers in nature's cyclical state
Realize age is but another facet
Releasing cares to ultimate fate
Graceful maturity is an asset.

yes and no of lovers retreat in life

Marriage is a two way connection
a two sides
sharpened weapon
those who slice by the right side
want to try now with the left
both make one's mind
cleft of marriage
what else is left

some divorce
many live in remorse
only fling and flow
some let go
and
living on in happiness
they show

So come my friend
use not your knife
not only will you lose your wife
but also your life

So I suggest just hang on
this misery of life
one day will also be gone

ONE

ONE

there is a delicate dance between
sanity and madness, hope and despair
living in a world of one.
there are no stars, no moon, sun
bound by phantom chains and bars of
our own imagination and troubled mind
when Reason fails, we fall to our knees in hope
that Faith will be our salvation.
It’s like dancing in the dark

NOBLE NOBELS

My Congrats to
The Poet Laureate
Bob Dylan...

We all just dream...
his works shine like stars
in a dark unlit sky...
so we all love his works...
now you all know why...

He is a master of songs and poetry....
we simply are standing by...

May the world benefit and enjoy
works of art today
whatever we say
ought to a message convey
and
I am confident Dylan
has made his way
for immemorial times to stay

Wish, Sir Dylan
now all of you
who really and sincerely wish to
