the loose end of poetry

bricked

Find that little moment
To take a look inside
To break your mental weakness
And to wake –
Your inner pride.

Miami, FL – May, 2018

Yan’an East

The focus of instinct
By net, of effect
Reflects your true moral
Through your will –
To regret.

Shanghai, China – April, 2018

Causeway Bay

Leave wonder, in the mirror
Break full, from a grateful past
Shoot through, your deep mental present
To create –
A fragile now, to last.

Kowloon, HK – April, 2018

Pelican Reach

I see
the hope before me
I can feel it
in my head
I can almost
taste the endgame
If I can
just defeat my dread.

Isle of Palms, SC – April, 2018

Error

Fighting through
Is the angry, you
Never knowing –
What to say, or do.

Breaking through
Is that sense, of you
Signifying –
Your hidden, true.

Torreon, MX – March, 2018

Walk it Back

Moving through
The old sense, of you
Is distinctly –
And disturbingly
True.

Manhattan, NY – March, 2018

Genevieve

I see what I fear
And fear what I think
By waiting on nothing
Except a fate –
That won’t blink.

Val D’Isere, France – March 2018

Proof on Main

Wondering, wholly
Interested
By the fracture –
Of a wish

Assembled slowly
And arrogantly
Inside a painters –
Delicate, dark swish.

Louisville, KY – February, 2018

Air

I sleep, awake
Where I cannot
Just break

The now, in omnipresent
The present, so effervescent
That it shatters
The pretense
Of my fake.

Garcia Ranch, Vero Beach, Fl – February 2018

Refined

I can’t mind, my outside
That speaks,
To its sin

Without breaking
My Human
That screams,
From within.

Manhattan, NY – February, 2018
