Poetica

hear, hear, the scribe reveals... 

Quietude

Let this silence become
a celebration,
my rainbow shining
that courage
celestial diamonds scatter in darkness
my starlight reaching, engulfing
bringing sacred laughter
to the innermost.
Grace.

The whole point
of my refrain.

~x~

Exhale

fancy,
no thing as constancy,
soul overcharged
with a deep echo,
the unperceived sigh
ringing, ringing
in the stillness...

Another Day

rain now vapoured, a slight wind blowing a silence. Ah, mind lingers on a cloud, who cannot stay, in haste departed, leaves a reminder of sometime ago. I hear music the neighbor is playing, whatever it is, I could hear but the emotion, unreachable...

Have You Ever Known?

Have you ever known,

that to me you are

a summer day,

a tree unfurling leaves

gathering for me a shade

and the breeze blowing me a calm

you are the songful music

of my feathered friends

carry the sunlight into where I am,

the radiance to this face.

Have you ever known--

that I will brave the turning tide

that I will sail the waves

that I will cross the fiery divide

to be where you are.

Have you ever known that? Yes, my heart of hearts,

Like I have always told you.

Make It Happen

Granting it
an extra try
Turns you away,
from alibi...

i watch him sleep

so comfortably.

i watch you sleep;

peaceful, beautiful.

you are gentleness,

totally warming my heart.

you are my beloved.

Thursday

Birdsong breaking primal silence,

the sky- a mirror clear,
morning wakes, flashing rays--
Thursday, full in flair...

At Work

Coffee hot, curly steam
Morning, night
Won't let me dream. So, work!

Storm

on the roof
drip drip drip
thud! door closes.

Melody

Long chorus,
pierce the night.
Noon for crickets.

~x~

Caffeine

Mind on travel.
The eyelids shut! 

Sleep, drained in cup.

~x~

time-worn

The leaves
their colors changed,
in vain,
like us-- 
continually
worried.

 Talk

“Today it's cold."
“It’s cold.”
This chatter warms us. 7.21.10

This Passage

Pure geniality

Jolly comrade of content

amiable match,

warmhearted dulcet pair.

Good natured

True brothers in arms

they conquer

rugged pebbled paths.

--<>--

persona non grata

obscure metaphor
provocative offkey note
like a crackling voice

island hopping

sands ribbon the shore

ripples calling, inviting

wake up sleepyhead

8th Year

whether we walk

or run,

hands clasped

that's what we are

and ever remain

friends, partners

husband, wife

you are leader

lionhearted yet

lamblike

I am follower

covenant sharer

teammate.

happy anniversary Baby!

Selfdom

Ego --
wanton, wild
dignity in lock and key
decency, how enchained.

Ergo, ego-centric self
staging script and show,
unseeing, heedless--
all appearance,
no substance.

~x~

synchro

view from the
passenger seat
on a sweet
nighttime drive-- 
along the countryside,
placid waft
of fresh air,
ricefields,
immaculate starlit sky,
catfish jumping in glass
los amigos
they made friends
with him, her and love. 

-- after a trip to Los Amigos, Calinan for dinner.

Riding Mighty Wings

Elite eagle enter

sweep still skies

swift silent salvo

truly teach

quiet quest

power poise.
