Missy my love

Missy my love
You are the sunshine of my life
I am happy that we love
Each other
Missy you give me
Lots of kisses
Sweater than honey
Also Dad
Play with you every day
Also I have lots of energy
After I finished playing
With you
I get totally warn out
And I need a sleep
So you put me inside
My cage
I am already used to that

Working Man (language)

I will not go to work today
for sanity has gone astray
Yes, my home's the usa
I can't support its toxic way

Although I need the income, true
distaste replaced red white and blue
The House of Cards has come unglued
It seems we all are getting screwed

Like rubes before its crooked wealth
a loser's hand we all were dealt
I can't afford to risk my health
..donald trump can fuck himself

I won't support its deadly way
I'll be no slave to don today

Opus

I wonder where Nonna went.
She wore her apron all day,
and cut onions to add to virgin olive oil.
And when the sound of the skillet hit the stove,
when the house held the smell of sizzling onions,
Nonna would sing.

And to the onions, garlic was added,
and to the garlic, rosemary, oregano, and basil.
It was an opus of unrestrained aromas,
and within her aria, was the rise and fall
of the bubbling tomato paste, like an overture
making way for the chorus of sliced bell peppers,

The way

To be a great man you must believe you are not
Don’t pretend to give answers to questions you haven’t got
Remove cotton from your ears and place in your mouth
Don’t live in the north
while your spirit is in the south

Mercy

Mercy
Kind words offered
For terrible offences
Piercing the heart, the soul and mind
Goodwill

A Version Without Regret

Rewriting Memory

I was in town visiting my son one Saturday
When I told him: “later we’ll go visit grandpa”
But time ran out and other plans got in the way
I didn’t call him and that’s always been my flaw

As the week went by, I just went about my way
With work and family matters I just carried on
And it wasn’t until later, on that Thursday
When my sister called me crying saying, dad’s gone

A Reluctant Goodbye

When the sun says goodbye,
it doesn't close the door in haste.
It lingers- a slow fading ember
pressed against the rim of the world-
as if reluctant to leave us in the dark.

It washes its light across the mountains,
gold turning to copper, copper to ash,
until even the shadows seem to sigh.

Birdsongs soften. Winds whisper goodnight.
The day exhales one last warm breath
before night steps forward
to claim the quiet.

Brown Study

A gentleman will clamber
upon her fifth floor balcony
vault a chaise longue
black suited on his dignity
and purposefully stride
into her brown study

She will feign to ignore him
and rather talk in asides
to the familiar at her shoulder
of succulent fruits and sultry jungles
thick lush furs of the frozen North
and the abrasion of falling water

Never ceasing to cook and sew
to knead and bake
to wind and weave and polish
her tales to perfection

Sestina of the Lucid Dreamer

The daylight breaks, a cold and harsh reality,
I pull the heavy covers up to hide my face,
and leave behind the worries of the waking world.
My spirit finds a silent, deep, and quiet sleep,
where colour blossoms in a bright and vivid dream,
and I am free to wander in a better place.

Return Back To Me

Your voice travels through years and memories
Crossing time and space it beacons
to me .
Bringing those thought's and memories
we shared,
I sit and remember how much you cared.
Now all these thoughts and memories haunt me,
And I remember the life that used to be.
Where did it go wrong ?
What pushed you away?
Was there nothing left here that would
make you stay?
Why are you now sending these
memories ?
Memories of a life that used to be.
Is it an omen or some mystical sign
