My Whore is Better

my whore is better than your whore
just ask as many men as you can see
my whore was their whore long before
my little whore was just my whore and me

I knew it the first time we met
my whore was, simply put, the very best
the way she moved, the way she dressed
without a doubt a slut above the rest

so I put my whore on parade
got her all dolled up for the party scene
and reveled in my dance with fame
me a walking arm in arm with my queen

The Enemy Within

Beware!

When envy leaks from your heart,
the soul will be poisoned.
The conflict will spread to the mind,
turning your words into venom.

Peace will hang by a thread,
time will taunt you into action.
When the truth is replaced
by mere speculations
and all that you have
are unproven assumptions,
do not lay down your guard.
For there within the shadows,
the enemy returns.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE CREATOR

Thoughts
swarm my mind
like bees do
around a honeycomb

I am
My memories
My desires
My prejudices
And fears

I express myself
In a chemical stream
Of nervous energy

But,
What about the thinker
Where is he

Can I find him beneath
The seismic shifts
of an overactive consciousness
Does he envelope the activity
or
is he subservient to it
This enigma
I have been grappling with
My entire life

Renga 8 "A Song Of Passion"

We must learn to sing
teach us of your ways of love
show me the rapture

see how the passion rises
shield me not from true loving

let us dance with joy
as we celebrate this life
painted with laughter

embrace innocence again
release the heart from malice

wide eyed innocence
blissful days of childishness
boys run after girls

embrace the cheerful laughter
remember days of your youth

in each beat of heart
listen to the melody
in high and low notes

Nothing is forever ....as you already know

That you know nothing
is forever
nothing much
about us is known

this universe is a vast home
mundane for those who so want to feel
for those who follow
only there is no reprieve

I gently seek indulgence
of now
and
here

What is beyond, beyond
I don't know
nor,
do I fear

Know me just as a passer by
you will
as much as I will
all shall pass by

Wildfire

What are you looking for?
What did you see?
Going in or out?
What’ll it be?

Now you got me thinking.
Looking both ways in the mirror,
Just to see what’s behind of me.

And I hope you catch your dreams,
Go far like a wildfire,

Hope you found a sucker in me,

Go on
Just,
Not with me.

INTENSE IMAGINATION

Pallid the sky 
bleached by summers sun 
ghost blue behind the standing trees
an audience to the heavens
that empty place 
we fill with our illusory ideas 
perfection in the geometry
of our joys and fears
make tangible our thoughts 
on strings of harps 
and angels wings

so many things we bring to life 
with our intense imagination 
creating peace 
disturbing peace 
no peace finding

NOTHING TO SEE

Another evening on the deck
watching shadows grow in length.
Nothing to see this summer eve
as heat of day loses its strength.

Everything is green on green
on all thirteen types of tree
which adorn my big back yard.
A wasp flies by ignoring me.

Can't see the pond this time of year,
too many leaves block off the view
but a blue crane rises up from it
and heads toward roost as they all do.

Teaching a new born

Teaching a new born
Why not say

O child be yourself
Experience and learn.... (From our follies do stay away...).
the midnight oil do burn
and experience and learn...
what holds in the folds of eternity...
tis alone a reality-----
we only shall pass our silliness....

Oh, child! believe in yourself...

.we should not convey our thoughts...
as per our times----

take your own steps... one at a time
and the truths of all existence do combine

I Dream Of Winter

I dream of winter,
not the one in cruel hearts
but one born with beauty
and the sea of white snow,
painted over the landscape
where I could lay
down and cast
in a snow angel's shape,
fulfilling my childish yearning.
I dream of snowball fights
with young children
laughing, playing
or pretending to rescue
a damsel from the Ice Queen
