The man looks up to the moon

Screaming

We are fools

No relationship

Will be able to endure

Was always top of his game

Then he lost his mind

The human vultures

Violently feast on carcass

While drinking fine wine

Do not be afraid

A man does not play small games

Mirror hides nothing

It’s nice getting old

Let youth chase after riches

I’m playing my flute

The elevator

Opens and closes its doors

Like the flow of life

The Hermit enjoys the scent

of Angel Trumpets

Laying on the dunes

Looking up at the full moon

I begin to cry

Engulfed by his books

The Hermit scribbles his poems

Before it’s too late

Have you ever hurt

so much that you cannot breathe?

Why do we have hearts?

33

March 14, 2021March 14, 2021 ~ The Hermit Poet's Ramblings

To control one’s life

A person needs to train the

mind to be relaxed

Winners have thick skin

Do not care what people think

March forward like horse

STOP take a moment

Analyze situation

Will save you mistakes

Survive with innovation

That is all we have

Early morning haze

Skipping stones across the lake

Time to meditate

You’re the hit parade

No one knows it’s a charade

Our little secret

Laying in hammock

Between two coconut trees

My mind is at ease

Centuries of tradition

Islam carries on

Age creeps up on all of us

Do not miss the bus

Seeking American dream

She found bitterness

Is a luxury only

a few can afford

Tight Jeans on a motorbike

How could he resist

His world had changed

There was nothing to offer

He just walked away

Then they discuss politics

Handcuffs always win

They always played together

Except for this time

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

 

*
