Haiku
this early morning
with only the moon above
silent, train station

Poetic Fragments
Where does
this
time go?
these finite
grains of sand
these stages
of
leaps, chances
…and life events
tears
smiles
embraces
how well spent?
how well travelled?
what have we learned?
chances
taken, missed, avoided
success or failure….
no object
have these life
experiences
hardened or softened
who we are…..?
or
once were
what have
we become?
have we chosen
to
embrace this
riddled
uncertain
intricate
life
facing forward
or live
in the comfort
of a
familiar
comfortable
deniable
safe
past

morning shows it’s hand
many stars dotting the night sky
….chase infinity

(A)
tomorrow’s promise
open eyes that cannot ever see
today’s soul whimsy
can know no better
lost in a time…lost in place
never to turn back
(B)
soul recognition
memories…not of this age
silent knowing…timeless bond
eyes meeting…searching
of another place…these lives
of another time…moments

memories…long past
echo into the morning
this full moon shines on

wind leaves no trail
but one opportunity
wind leaves no trail
kaze, no time for regrets
prepare for tomorrow’s path

Captured
prize
thing
object
marginalized
imprisoned
feared
teased
this,
my home….my prison
once
this hunter became
the hunted
fate sealed
inside,
looking out
my story alone
but….
not where it all started
not
where it was all ever meant to be
but always,
so many eyes
staring
only the night
brings about
temporary peace
only to have the day
start
over….over….over
but,
you cannot ever really know me
truly know
how and what
makes me
tick
can you ever
really
know
how it feels?
these walls
these bars
these years
rage
wild impulse
so far
deep
inside
but
lessons still have not been
learned
1914….2014
how time does indeed rush by
but not all things
change
life is life is life is life
