dedication, on writing and words
His talent as a Bard explodes
From an exquisite mind it flows
Through an instrument of script
Flooding parchment reverberating
Through the psyche creating waves
Reaching the far ends of the universe
Words of truth deep sentiment flourish
Propelling legitimate personal emotions
Giving due praise to brave loyal and true
To God nature his love and fellow Bards and
The magnificent highlands he loves so well
Always uplifting inspiring and sharing
Accept this tribute from an amateur a friend
With gratitude for reading commenting for
Being just who you are, The Highlander

feelings, happiness, mom,
I wish that I could write
Like my son the poet
I'm just an amateur
And well I know it
I search the site
And there again
He has written something wonderful
With his amazing pen
Wish that I might write
As he has done
I know I am extremely proud
Of my wonderfully talented son
Dedicated to my son Richard poet extraordinaire
I am so glad that all my children are different
I can love you all for different reasons

BONE MARROWS A SPIKE INSIDE
PRESSURE BUILDING WITH MIGHT
WHILE TEARS DROP-FREELY
HEART WRINKLED-A LOVER'S MISTAKE.
YOU ASK WHY I WEEP,
WHEN MY SOUL FADES TO SLEEP
LEAVING IT DRAINED WITH MELANCHOLY
AN AMATEUR LOVER'S INSANITY-
WHAT FELL FROM YOUR LIPS
IN THAT VERY FIRST CLIP
PLAYED BY YOUR HEART'S FEVER,
"I LOVE THEE FOREVER."
AND HERE YOU LEAVE ME DRY
LOVE BLEEDING TO DEATH-AND I CRY
TELLING YOU-"THIS IS NOT JUST."
FOR HERE I AM IN THE FROST.
YOU HAVE BLED A LOVER'S HEART
AND DEFILED HIS SOUL'S MAT-
THAT IS THE REASON I WEEP
AND SILENTLY FALL ASLEEP.

lost love
Best you had,
Now that’s sad.
Well I’m glad.
I’m no fad,
I’m ironclad.
You alright,
Not so bright.
Can’t you fight,
With this spite.
Where’s the might.
Times ago,
Now shadow.
Left me low,
In the snow,
You now owe.
I then die,
When I cry,
To the sky,
Up so high,
When you lie.
Why is she,
More than me?
You love thee,
I disagree.
Lone latchkey.
In this blur,
This you stir,
And occur.
Amateur,
Saboteur.

Logophile
A talk therapist, a friend, an amateur poet and an introvert
In love with a smile, eyes and languages
With the ideas for images, photography and calligraphy
To palliate the feelings of low, listless and lonely
Aggravated by the fears of walls, sufferings and inhumanity
That makes me like to travel, speak and love
Aided by being a resident of India, the land of six seasons

I kneel, bow, and make myself into
A rock to ask God,
King of the Universe,
Give me the amateur.
Hear my cries, Lord our God,
And give me him.
I plead, beg, and erode
My rough edges;
Almighty One,
I want this one to be terminal.
Please, God, place the
Obsidian in the core of my palm.
Let this strangeness of love
Feel familiar, once more.
King of my Universe,
Please let him become familiar.
Almighty One,
I swear I will get it right this time.

poetry,
Senryu, haiku, monoku, and haibun,
quotes, free verse, iambic pentameter.
Poems about love, death and religion,
for you from the pen of this amateur.
Limerick and footle to make you smile,
kimo, etheree, nonet for their form.
Sonnets and couplets give us love stories,
quatrains and tercets to keep our hearts warm.
So many ways to say that I Love You,
or you can kiss my rear you dumb buffoon.
Starlight from Heaven can never compare,
to the light from your eyes, you stupid goon.
See you don’t have to have a diploma,
or be experts in writing poetry.
Just put your thoughts down onto some paper,
then you too can be a poet like me.

Sweet and Melony,
Accomplice of my felony,
I'm nothing so you're my everything
Presenting me options to fill fully me
Out in the sky
With where I shine,
You shine
Just enough to guide,
My way inside
And out of a mine
That I mined
Finding chaos & plight
You're fair in weather, I’m sky blue,
Your darkness, I know, I have too,
Your kindness that implores, I try too
It isn't “indifference”,
It isn't “hate”,
It is “love”,
Platonic and trust,
It isn’t “intimate”,
It isn’t “amateur”,
It is “warmth”,
Caring and fond
You are no lover,
I am no lover,
We are friends,
Same but different.
