Never to old ! 6/11/2006
Up at dawn
and turned this computer on,
to my amazement I did see
a couple of emails written to me,
I eagerly opened up the first email
only to see a store with a sale,
now to open up the second one
only to find it was from my ,
I had joined a site for lonely folks
mainly I told people for a joke,
Hoping for a prince of wales
guess just lucky if he hasn't been in jail,

Henry Said It All 6/6/2006
A Psalm of Life
TELL me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.

Don't Let Go. Help Is On The Way. 5/23/2006
All of us have suffered the agony of loneliness. Maybe most,
as I, to the point of despair. Here's a beacon of hope
and a call for strength.
Evictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.

Trembling fingers

castaway in a room
like a deserted island

an inferno's fire
hands grip tightly
like pinching pliers
burried into each other
like stone thrown to sea
gentle kitten's purr
scratching wildly

Into the steamy Mayan jungles they tromped

So they can prop it up at a museum exhibit

THE FACE THAT SUNK A THOUSAND SHIPS!
She was the fair Helen -
Beautiful but weak!
Over a million and ten -
In her - refuge did seek!
Refuge - from lost battle -
For in all battles, we lose!
Yet, she could not settle
Which she should choose!
Her love on one side -
Million lives on the other!
Only she could decide -
Who should live on forever!

What I have within my heart is something
That I just can't explain...
It's something that is not simple to obtain
It's called perpetual love,
And it's a rare gift...

Since you...
Have taken possession of my soul.
It's a love deep inside me
That is bright as the stars
Cause is gazing over you and me,
So please...

YOU’RE FLYING OFF BEYOND MY REACH

REMEMBERING THE SWEET CARESSES
AND THE SECRETS WE CONFESSED
THAT SPECIAL TIME WAS OURS ALONE
THIS PARTING IS BUT A TEST

I enjoy writing poetry and have a few published along with others in several books. 4/24/2006
I come from a family that writes poetry, songs, lyrics to
songs, etc. When I write, I put my brain into motion and it
comes out through my fingertips. I was just inducted, along
with several hundred other new poets, into the International
Poet Society. This is a great honor. I just received my first
award for a poem I wrote titled "Forgiveness".

Day is done.
Gone the sun.
From the lakes.
From the hills.
From the sky.
All is well.
Safely rest.
God is nigh.

Fading light.
Dims the sight.
And a star.
Gems the sky.
Gleaming bright.
From afar.
Drawing nigh.
Falls the night.

Thanks and praise.

Ode to A Magnificent Man 3/22/2006
If he were a star in the sky, he would make the face of heaven
so fine that all would be in love with night. V8 Juice by any
other name would taste just as Salty - but a kiss by a star
would make him sweeter.

Rebetis
For Thanasis Maskaleris
Poet, teach my poems how to dance!
Now they can only limp along, alla zoppa,
As if in a trance to unheard music
Played on un-amplified instruments,
By young voices as wide eyed as Owls,
As if Minerva could reappear as cloned birds
Perched on the string of the telephone line
Stretched from my voice to your ear.
I am in exile ...

Exploding with anger when anger takes charge

Morbid thoughts an obsession of the depressed

Light that peaks through the angriest clouds and lights
up the darkest skies.

She set out to be freed
No wisdom gained in her youth
Not seeing her true need
Leaving the cage that was made for her
would certainly take a plan
She thought she found a perfect way
When she found that perfect man.
How she did it
To this day noone knows
But she went from one cage to another

I have fallen into a hole, and I can not get out,
I yell for help, but no one can hear me shout.
I am cold and lonely, and want some comfort for my pains,
The walls are cold and stony, I climb them only to fall back
in vain.
The floor is rotting and it breaks,
I fall deeper into the abyss with every mistake I make.
Finally my voice is gone,
My throat is dry and ...

So I can slowly sculpture

So you could finish exhausted
In the universe of my arms and body.
And that way, you know that
I'm your only true love.

So you can lose any of my seduction.
