Come With Me

Posted on by
Standard

Come with me today to my poetry reading in the Coachella Valley in California!

It will take you only 3’09” to be with me and virtually fly there as I introduce you to my poems.

The book I’m reading from, California Notebooks 01 was written there. I wanted to give back to the desert, with this reading, the inspiration it bestowed on me.

This book is dedicated

to those souls whose flesh is too tight

to those whose dreams are real and reality seems

to be a dream

Poetry Reading Here

Do subscribe to my YouTube channel too, please, as there will be more poetic work posted there as well. I will appreciate that as well as you comments here below or on youtube.

Together we rock!

Thank you 🙏

Sunny Awakenings

was dreaming of

sunny awakenings

sweet cuddling and words

few – tight together

.

was getting out to say

good morning – gratitude

will not fail me

a smile in spite

of everything

.

I will hold

happiness

between

my hands

.

Firecrest

Posted on by

*

why not marvel

at the thin long beak

of the firecrest

.

or cry tears realizing

such songs

came from a thumb

size chest

.

he fit the mouth

of my cat

so little it was this

bundle of joy

.

covering the sky

among trees

with his wings

soft in my palm now

.

A Luminous Day

Posted on by

*

we are here
softly abandoned

glaring at the shadow of
an airplane on the ground

one of those luminous day
where every detail is out

for count and thanksgiving
following a time dark as

the night upon which we
both struggled with

eyes wide open to
no avail in fear

just as bunny rabbits
at dusk poems show up
and while you stand
with your mouth open or
an enchanted smile
they rush away

at times when I plant
basil such a delicate plant
I’ve to be careful to synchronize
my breath while I gently press
the dirt around as when
words sprout on paper

Cloud have covered the whole
day slowing down my rhythm
I walk as barefoot on carpet
placing words carefully
dozing off a bit hanging
poetic moments behind my eyes

On Writing

Posted on by

I load on beauty
between silences
those of plants and
lack of rain

these shivering
when reefers come
are not gossip or loud
news they are stanzas

needing spaces
in between needing
solid whites an invisible
bench to sit on
