Whose Truth?
In every question, elicits an answer
In every answer elicits, a question
In what does the truth exist?

A Moment With Indulgence
Put all things aside for a while.
Beckon indulgence inside awhile.
Sweeten heart and mind to taste, then
Relax in silence- solace.
So rewarding!

Expectation
Give yourself
The gift of lowered expectation,
Accept life and its messiness,
You can't amend
Nor wish it away, so
Lower the bar, so
All can walk under, for
What it is
Is what it is.

The Long Year Gone
Worn and tired
wind blown
Waves have come
waves have gone
Storm calmed and
Long washed ashore.
Long year gone and no reprise yet a break in year
Still sun rises and
falls
But we're still here!

O Love In Your Conquest
O Love in Your Conquest
You captured her spirit-
Now liberate her soul!
Bleeding heart, drenched gown
Your sharp arrow effected
Strange tyrannical power
You lay bare
We kiss, we touch,
and I surrender all!

Each Vote Counts
Stood on line with many to cast ONE vote;
after an hour or more, after finishing, I walked out the door.
Lines of voters snaked Brooklyn Tech's HS floor.
Wiggling and giggling in delight, I counted
each vote, adding them to my count!

It Has Not Changed
Five years yet
no change
yet another
threw insults
to injure, but
In my poems is love
In my poems I live
In my silence
I make poems
for you my love
In my silence
I feel weak
and weary
for you my love

Joy, Joy, Joy
Joy, Joy, Joy
J oy-filled cornucopia that
O verflows with goodies that
Y ields from joy (the source) :
pleasure
happiness
enjoyment-so
allow no externals
To lay claim to inner joy!

Cannibal
We found each other hungry, thirsty,
and singed by love.
Seems,
we've being charred by it again
You left me...
a rapacious lioness.
I commence to rage,
strangling on anger,
I lost my way.
Then lay a weaken prey.
Rush upon me
you hungry lion!

Four Stages Of Life
She with child waged a fight
But baby won outright
Then she struggled with self
Innocence and lighthearted left
Later, she struggled with her mind
But, couldn’t gain entry into the mine
Now, the battle with life begins...
If you're wondering…the grim reaper wins.
