We are alone       

Late-night in Atlantic Ocean

Love no longer torn

Polished marble floor

We danced tango once more

Then left separate doors

In the game too long

Time to get up walk away

Before heart decays

76

March 22, 2021March 22, 2021 ~ Edge of Humanity Magazine

Hey dude got a smoke?

Things turned South against the ropes

All gone except hope

75

March 22, 2021March 22, 2021 ~ Edge of Humanity Magazine

When running business

Think just like the Japanese

Be in for long haul

74

Today’s tourists

Travelling all over  globe

Check off bucket list

To show who is the coolest

While poor struggle to exist

Dressed in her teddy

Trimming my beard and shaves me

Kiss passionately

72

March 22, 2021March 21, 2021 ~ Edge of Humanity Magazine

She’s a good woman

No tricks lies fooling around

Hangs tight when chips down

41

The human vultures

Violently feast on carcass

While drinking fine wine

40

March 15, 2021March 14, 2021 ~ Edge of Humanity Magazine

Do not be afraid

A man does not play small games

Mirror hides nothing

39

March 15, 2021March 14, 2021 ~ Edge of Humanity Magazine

It’s nice getting old

Let youth chase after riches

I’m playing my flute

38

March 15, 2021March 14, 2021 ~ Edge of Humanity Magazine

The elevator

Opens and closes its doors

Like the flow of life

Walking in Garden

The Hermit enjoys the scent

of Angel Trumpets

31

March 13, 2021March 13, 2021 ~ Edge of Humanity Magazine

STOP take a moment

Analyze situation

Will save you mistakes

30

March 13, 2021March 13, 2021 ~ Edge of Humanity Magazine

Small business people

Survive with innovation

That is all we have

29

Early morning haze

Skipping stones across the lake

Time to meditate

28

March 13, 2021March 13, 2021 ~ Edge of Humanity Magazine

You’re the hit parade

No one knows it’s a charade

Our little secret

27

March 13, 2021March 13, 2021 ~ Edge of Humanity Magazine

Laying in hammock

Between two coconut trees

My mind is at ease

26

March 12, 2021March 11, 2021 ~ Edge of Humanity Magazine

Morning call to prayer

Centuries of tradition

Islam carries on

25

March 12, 2021March 11, 2021 ~ Edge of Humanity Magazine

Tick tock clicking clock

Age creeps up on all of us

Do not miss the bus

24

Daisen Temple

Slowly raking rock garden

The years fly on by

Nativos Brazileiros

Swept from their homeland

Wind swept salty beach

The boy and father bond while

casting lines in sea

21

Hoisting  main sail

Leaving harbor for unknown

I light my cigar

Berlin Germany

The dominatrix

Freed him from reality

I’m a Gemini

Savoring all life’s pleasures

Until day I die

18

March 11, 2021March 10, 2021 ~ Edge of Humanity Magazine

Please do not be hurt

Your work is better than mine

I just played the game

17

Crossing the border

Seeking American dream

She found bitterness

Spring flower blossoms

Youth and beauty will not last

Feast on the moment

The mind will play tricks

Anxiety has no friends

Keep the box healthy

Relax

Be patient

Sit by the river with your fishing pole

Most of all

Do not be dragged down the rabbit hole

Overtime

Bad character

Will be exposed

Then you will completely know

It is time get up

And

Permanently

Walk away from the sideshow

 

*

 

For a long time

She had suffered much

No longer heard the beautiful sounds

Of the garden chimes

Final days

I sat in a chair

Next to her hospital bed

In the end

“I no longer believe”

Is what she said

 

*

 

Leaning

Against the tile wall

Taking a long hot shower

Scrubbing

Away the dirt

With a new bar of soap

Did not

Remove humiliation

But

Provided

Her

A bit of hope

 

*

 

Frantically

Scratching

At his deformed image

In the mirror

Hyperventilating

He cried

“Please help I need air”

Fallen idol

Emotional bowl of jello

Desecrated soul

Pissed in his own rice bowl

Alone

There are no more calls

No longer the star

Of the Masquerade balls

 

*

 

Husband Who Really Upset Hot Blooded Wife

Pour me some bourbon

I just upset my women

Do you have spare bed?

She wants to chop off my head

Bartender help or I’m dead

 

*

 

Stories

From

Men, Women, Marriage, Relationships, Friendship, Love & Sex

 

Elite make the rules
Peasants follow just like mules
Feed me leftovers
Send young men to be soldiers
Bow down to the pawnbroker

*

Privileged
Less privileged
Social climbers
Boomerang slackers
Believe in the good book
Or burn in hell
Pray five times a day
Study Quran
Or an infidel
Sprinkle ancient dust here and there
Until on their deathbed
Atheists do not seem to care
Who is right?
Who is wrong?
Respect each other’s beliefs
Start getting along
Before humankind is gone

*

Fed beast for long time

Today woke up changed my mind

Freedom what I need

Veins dry nothing left to bleed

Tomorrow will sow new seeds

 

Stories 

From

Peeling Off The Human Condition

 

Bahia

Walking along the Praia
I met a lady
With
Long black hair streaked with gray
She whispered:
“Make love to me
only
this one time
and
I promise
Macumba
will make sure you always remember tonight.”
Now
Alone
My Dreams
Always the same
Sitting on a milk crate
Using a hacksaw
Trying to cut chains from my legs
Back-and-Forth
Back-and-Forth
Back-and-Forth

 

Yucatan Peninsula
Mexico

Lying in hammock
Cigarette hanging from mouth
Soles of feet badly cracked
The fisherman
Mumbled
To his dog
Stop
Licking
Bottle of tequila
On dirt ground

 

Travel Tales

From

Travels With The Hermit Poet

*

 

When feeling alone
I visit snakes in garden
Outcasts-Friends that last

 

*

 

Boots places on stoop
Morning garden duties done
Time to watch moss grow

 

*

 

Year after year
Designing, hauling, digging
Section after section
The hermit painstakingly
created his dream garden

 

*

 

Humble on my knees
Casually pulling weeds
My garden comforts me

 

*

 

Drops summer rain
Heliconia & gingers
No longer thirsty

 

*
