...to weekday wake-up calls
...to monotonic wardrobe
...to the smell of coffee
...to blank spaces
...to conversing chairs and empty benches
...to long walks
...to midnights
...to back porch poetry and sonnets
...to sunday morning bike rides
...to gloomy days
...to days without plans
...to days with random plans
...to stillness and invisibility
...to taking chances
...to gestures big and small
...to love languages and unintentional kindness
...to the right song at the right time
...to words spoken and unspoken
...and to all i forgot to thank
...thank you.

i want to travel the world one color at a time

...see the color of the first sunrise
...sip black tea on London rain
...linger at the heart of the Big Apple
...gaze at the pink skies of California
...cliff dive into the Aegean blue sea
...marvel at the green grass of the African safari
...get lost in the land with the whitest snow
...witness the sunset in Rio
...travel in space and walk the gray surface of the moon

but i’d rather pull all the shades and wander the great indoors
where the color of comfort is...

my unmade bed

... my world is made whole
with these tiny little things
I'm big with small love

Its amazing how we pass time
Cocooned
In our own beings so that
Nothing
Matters more than the next
Minute
And the freckles on our hands
Possess
More pull than magnetic
Ends
Of planets spinning with hushed
Breaths
Which may soon gasp the cursed
Smog
Of our corrupted souls

Hello world oh so large, everywhere there is something. So, oh my where do I start, there's always something. Somethig to see, something to feel, taste, or smell. And to think I can hear all of you, all of you everywhere, just by looking for you. Just by caring you see, you see humans you and me.

This continuum of cosmic enormity
scares the flimsy streak of life inside me
What is this ruse of light and shadows?
sometimes being eclipsed by my own

I feel suspended in an excited state
witnessing a multiple strip-tease
the more I know the more there is to know
What is the secret I’m being kept from?

I feel I’m being made to run aimlessly
In the marrows forced against my skin
and pressed against a giant sheath of contraception
lest I conceive of the grand hidden agenda!

Ya Know ...
Within My Arms Are Lyrical Psalms ...

WITHOUT ...
Jewish or Christian Points of View ... !!!

What They Produce Is NOTHING New ...
But The Style ... " PROFILED " ...
STREET FIGHTS Like ... " GUILE " ... !!!

Okay I Mean ... " Virge " ... !!!
A Man Whose ARMS Put Words In Verse ...
In A Way That PRESERVES ........
Thoughts WELL OBSERVED ... !!!

You See My Arms TRANSPORT My DEEPEST Thoughts ...
From Brain To Page In NUMEROUS Ways ... !!!!

My Catalogue Now CONFIRMS To CLOWNS ...
That My Arms Are STRONG As Well As LONG ... !!!!!!!

NOT Muscle Bound But Built To POUND ... !!!
Lyrical FITNESS Into Those Who BEAR WITNESS ... !!!

of ... Thoughts I Write Down ...
And EXPRESS Through Lyrics ...
That Are Fluid Like ... LIQUIDS ... !!!!!

See My Arms CONNECT Nouns Consonants And Vowels ...
That My Mouth Now EXPOUNDS From ... Time to Time ...

But Prefer To Inscribe Onto Notepad Type Lines ...
Where They Formulate Rhymes That Come From My Mind ...

So Their TECH Is IMMORTAL ...
When OPENING Portals ...
For Minions of Mortals ...
To Find Out My ORALS ...
Are WAY BEYOND Normal ...
When They ENTER Their AURAL ... !!!

Because They're RESOURCEFUL ...
And Prove To Be ... THOUGHTFUL ... !!!

So Therefore ... DO NOT Dawdle ...
In Places Known As BORSTALS ... !!!!!

My Arms Can Be Quite FORCEFUL ... !!!
But Manage To Be ... " Cordial " ...
When BREAKING DOWN What's Lawful ...
In Wordplay That Is SCORNFUL ...
That NO ... Is NOT REMORSEFUL ... !!!!!!

Because My Arms Are CAUSAL ...
So YES ... Embrace A CAUSE ... !!!!!!

To PROVE What is UNLAWFUL ...
In STATUTORY Laws That KEEP EXPOSING FLAWS ... !!!

Talking of FLOORS ...
My Arms ENDURE Push Ups Fa' SURE ... !!!
To Keep My Head And Shoulders ... BROAD ... !!!

Therefore Their STRENGTH ...
CAN TAKE The Strain My Mind ORDAINS ... !!!!!

My Arms BELIEVE Have Seen Some GRIEF ... !!!
And SOMETIMES SEEN Some ... " SWEET ***** " ... !!!!

My Arms Have HELD Their Share of Girls ...
Those Who've GELLED With ... " Virges' World " ... !!!!!!

But Now My Arms ...
Have Been REPELLED ...
For Quite Some Time .... !!!!!!!

Because My Mind Has Found That Charm ...
Is NOT What Gets My Arms A Pass To HOLD Some *** ... !!!

My Arms Now Want MORE Than Some Stunt ...
YES I Mean ... TRICK ...
To Do MORE Than EXPOSE Her **** ... !!!

They're OLDER Now ...
So REJECT ..................................... " SOWS " .... !!!!!
And YOUTHFUL ... " COWS " ... !!!!!

They Want A WOMAN NO MORE NO LESS ... !!!
One Whose SOUL Wants Arms To HOLD ...
Whilst Having *** And In Times of STRESS ... !!!!!!

This Piece Right Now Is Near It's END ...
My Arms Are PROUD WITHOUT A Doubt ... !!!

Because They've NEVER THROWN Or HIT ...
A Woman With Whom I Shared A KISS ...

But There Was ONE ***** Who Felt The GRIP ...
But BEFORE You Feminists RUN YOUR LIPS ... !!!!!!!

Let Me Just STRESS THIS ... !!!

She DISRESPECTED My MOTHER ... !!!
So MY Arms HAD TO TOUCH HER ... !!!

So NOW It's Time ...
For My Arms To FIND ...
Some Words of RHYME ...
That REFLECT On The Times ...
When My Mother Was Alive ...

HER ARMS Made Me STRONG ... !!!
And RAISED Me With Aplomb To NOT DO WRONG .... !!!!!!

UNTIL She Declined And POOR Health INCLINED ...
My Heart To USE MINE To DO What Was RIGHT...
And Be By Her Side Til' The Day She DIED ... !!!

Now My Father Was A Man ...
Who HAD ... STRONG HANDS ... !!!

He Was An ... " Osteopath " ...

But What Was ... " Sad " ...
Was That He DIDN'T Just CRACK His Patients' Backs ... !!!!!!

When He Got MAD ...
His Arms Brought HARM To My Mothers' Heart ... !!!!!!!!!

Which I Guess is  WHY They Fell ... APART ... ?????

He Didn't Even CARE When It Came To Her DEATH ... ?!?

But My Arms Were There And Have Marked A Path ...
For Them To Chart ...
What My Memories Are Through THIS Piece of Art ...

There Were NO Psalms Or Guns In Palms ...
When Her Card Was MARKED For My Mother To PASS ...
And Leave Me To Write ... THIS EPITAPH ... !!!

About How She Died YES ... IN ...

............ " My Arms " .............
