to you
my starbright love
I yield

Poeticians vs politicians…
In an ideal world
we would run
our government!

#micropoem

Snowdrops beneath cold,

wond’ring if sun remembers –

sap begins to dream.
#micropoem #tinypoem #haiku

I was unprepared
Walking into the lions' den
Unaware that I'd been sheltered
Protected by naivete
From silken razorblades
On their tongues
I thought amor vincit omnia
And maybe romance is the exception
Stuffed teddy bears no match for Empire steel

#MPPrompt #poem #micropoem

Scent of clovers
wafts in satin showers,
glowing stars illuminate
the newly blooming flowers,
magical sprites
draped in loveliness
glide upon crystal springs
their moonlit wings shimmer,
the ethereal forest fascinates.

kings have had their time in this world,
usually for years shorter than they'd planned -

subjects have a tendency
to buck under an undeserving rider -

& so in solidarity i refuse to kiss rings
& wish well to all who stood for #nokings.

I put the day down.
It did not fall apart.

We're free-form sketches
of belonging, of protest
resistance, and hope.
No one asked us to rise up,
we did it because we had to.

Here's an old favorite of mine ...

I wished to be small
in a world ripe with sweetness—

Who minds all the stars,
Sees to the circling systems'
Illusive music?

Old ID not dead
We're written off
Pushed aside
Culture tells us
Cover the Grey
Plaster over the wrinkles
The bags under our eyes --
The ones we got losing sleep over you
We are weathered
If we were a pair of $300 jeans
You'd want us
Show us off
We're not dead yet.

Mind over matter
Does it - that is what they say
Rise mind, rise - away

Well, aren't we aii
On this journey?
We might not be
Those Plymouth Rockers
And Chaucer's travelers
Are more my speed
A ragtag bunch
Earthy, real.
Having tried for the heights
I now travel with the masses
The view is broad
And the company better

Ignoring honesty
deceptive tongues lure,
wrapped in hollow promises
lies seem harmless
illusiveness masks reality,
on the verge of loss
clarity unveils the truth,
salted tears descend silently
awareness arises from scars.

there’s too much news,
too much information
for my small monkey mind
to successfully cope with -

so let’s go & undress
our minds together &
see who we really are
in the dark.

I breathe in lilacs
and miss the taste of your skin,
memory of you
soft and pliable like sin,
like your blush rosebud in bloom.
