Looking at my wife

in the early morning light

I’m a lucky guy

82

March 24, 2021March 23, 2021 ~ The Hermit Poet's Ramblings

Stirring the pasta

Drinking Italian red wine

She looks really fine

81

Worked garden for years

Hurricane blew all away

Start over next day

80

Boy and his father

Walking across the field

Bonding for lifetime

79

March 23, 2021March 26, 2021 ~ The Hermit Poet's Ramblings

Over 21 still living at home

Do it on your own

Stop living in parents’ home

Life is no free ride

Go make your mark and have drive

You will feel so much alive

78

March 23, 2021March 26, 2021 ~ The Hermit Poet's Ramblings

Today in garden

A lizard killed butterfly

At least reason why

77

Colorful mangoes

Hanging from my backyard tree

Are delight to see

76

Hey dude got a smoke?

Things turned South against the ropes

All gone except hope

75

When running business

Think just like the Japanese

Be in for long haul

74

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

Today’s tourists

Travelling all over  globe

Check off bucket list

To show who is the coolest

While poor struggle to exist

73

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

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

71

March 21, 2021March 20, 2021 ~ The Hermit Poet's Ramblings

Wounded warriors

Chasing ghosts of happiness

down deep dark cavern

70

Peaceful morning swim

In Atlantic Ocean

Will not wash away sins

Parlez-vous français?

She looks fantastique

Wearing her silk lingerie

68

Sitting under  tree

Having sweet biscuits and tea

Feeling Bourgeoisie

Dusting eight track tapes

Resurrects memories of

Carefree high school dates

Transplanting Gingers

Brings about tremendous peace

To my mind and soul

Clinging to palm tree

The Iguana looks at me

Like I’m trespassing

63

March 20, 2021March 19, 2021 ~ The Hermit Poet's Ramblings

Tap Tap Tap the keys

Rum coke typewriter and me

Deep in fantasy

62

March 20, 2021March 22, 2021 ~ The Hermit Poet's Ramblings

Eating nuts in trees

Squirrels could care less about

Human luxuries 

61

March 19, 2021March 18, 2021 ~ The Hermit Poet's Ramblings

Jumping out of bed

I rush out to my garden

To pick morning crops

60

Sprinkling tear-drops

Continuity is lost

Cold like winter frost

59

Street Photographers

Silently shoot their frames of

Everyday magic

58

Chip away extras

Wanting more more only festers

Toys are our masters

57

Mail carrier

Hauls his delivery bag

Full of surprises

56

March 18, 2021March 17, 2021 ~ The Hermit Poet's Ramblings

Always at same time

She sits and drinks her red wine

Blocking out her mind

55

March 18, 2021March 18, 2021 ~ The Hermit Poet's Ramblings

Shackled by ego

Possessed by hollow treasures

Mankind rots away

54

March 18, 2021March 17, 2021 ~ The Hermit Poet's Ramblings

Cold Analysis

Conflicts with intuition

Causing me great pain

53

March 18, 2021March 17, 2021 ~ The Hermit Poet's Ramblings

Working heavy bag

Stress drifts away from me like

 Helium balloon

52

March 18, 2021March 17, 2021 ~ The Hermit Poet's Ramblings

Paddling canoe

In the Florida Everglades

The boy becomes man

51

Scorching hot asphalt

Reminds me of obstacles

Faced in my lifetime

Season over soon

We will have beach to ourselves

Start up Bar-B-Que

49

I’m a block of ice

That you pulverize

With your pick and sledgehammer

48

Walking to the edge

Overcome with emotion

She sat down and cried

47

Smoking my corn pipe

Sitting on the river bank

A fantastic life

46

Numerous do try

It’s about longevity

Have the discipline

The cauldron burns red

Hatred will devour soul

Torment on deathbed

NO MIDDLEMAN ART GALLERY

 

 


Edge of Humanity Magazine

 

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

 

*
