I Have this Garden of Poems








full of flowers that bloom
at first
and then carried away with my greenthumb
i planted everything
trees and more trees and shrubs and bamboos
and vines and hanging plants

almost everything
and so the blooming flowers died
and the grasses diminishing like some
hair of this baldness

but nothing is lost in this garden of poems
the birds came and built their nests
some are still coming
every morning
and then the chirping begins

Beyond The Fray

Take someone you know
They have climbed the highest tree
You’d think the fight was won
Take a look around

A smile should now appear
Beaming brightly ear to ear
Consolidate your stride
On solid ground

But what you see is all for show
There is no meaner man to know
You can’t run back to what you had
You’re all alone

I’ll mark the day
When we can’ meet beyond the fray
Don’t lose the will to see your home
You’ll find a way
So we can meet beyong the fray
I’ll fight to see that you get home

Consider this small clue
Look beyong your point of view
Make a space for honesty
To hide

Much of what you do
Smacks of one whose friends are few
Do the decent thing and jump
The ride

But what you see is all for show
There is no meaner man to know
You can’t run back to what you had
You’re all alone

I’ll mark the day
When we can’ meet beyond the fray
Don’t lose the will to see your home
You’ll find a way
So we can meet beyong the fray
I’ll fight to see that you get home

But what you see is all for show
There is no meaner man to know
You can’t run back to what you had
You’re all alone

I’ll mark the day
When we can’ meet beyond the fray
Don’t lose the will to see your home
You’ll find a way
So we can meet beyong the fray
I’ll fight to see that you get home

I’ll mark the day
So we can meet beyond the fray
Don’t lose the will to see your home
