the loose end of poetry

Suez

Eyes that quick dart
With a scowl,
And with scream

Reminds one, of a life
That’s a mirror
To their dream.

Port Said, Egypt – September 2017

eighty one

Breaking into silence
Searching for my pride
I wait for future present
To turn my out –
Back inside.

Randall’s Island, NY – September, 2017

Alignment

Soul mate
Markers
Seek to be heard
By making their visions
Refocused –
From blurred.

Park Slope, Brooklyn, NY – September, 2017

Sparked

Thoughts of motion
Turn with speed
Rushing through
Times ageless, bleed.

Maniwaki, QC – August 2017

Ruckered

I am the here
I am the how
I am the wish
That makes the present,
The now.

I won’t be easy
I will not, take a bow
To a present, that’s future
And a consequence
Disavowed.

Charlotte, NC – August 2017

Shine

Measure the moments
To find –
Where they end
And take just a second,
To learn, how they blend.

The fixtures of now
Are a kind –
Of comprehend
When taking the moments
Of the now, in pretend.

Washington, DC – August 2017

Collective

Spreading through my head
By waking in my mind
Is a soul that seeks reflection
By breaking,
What it finds.

Chicago, IL – August 2017

Mixxed

Constructing my dreams
Through multiple themes
Delivers,
A new pathway
Of many means.

Bangkok, Thailand – July 2017

turn

Closing out the chapter
While breaking through my tack
I change the path
Of future –
And resist,
The quick look back.

Kowloon, Hong Kong – July 2017

Scarlet Fire

Flying in my mind
Wind beneath my hair
Illusions all around me
Plotting –
Their subtle dare.

Milton Point, NY – July, 2017
