Passionate about Computer Stuff

Slowly I study the man
Delighting in imagery
Phrases bending to his will
And the flow of his heart
Slowly gazing into the soul of
Of a poet’s ghost
Tendrils of dreams
Glimmering in morning dew
Fading at the touch
Of my privilege
Awoke with a song,
Mary Tyler Moore’s theme.
Quirky, jaunty and cheerful,
With a tinge of sadness.
A bright point in my youth,
Faded into night.
Such is the way of things;
Joy blends with sorrow/
This complex dish,
Life.
Walking past a smoker
So very easy to judge
Addiction’s impacts
Yet who am I
To critique anyone’s
Frailties?
Reading Langston Hughes

<
p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>I have a thing for the wanderer
<
p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>My own career meanders
<
p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>Weaving back and forth
<
p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>Across green fertile fields
<
p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>Vibrancy within each step
<
p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>
<
p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>I’m spending Black History Month exploring black ports and their great works. Langston Hughes came to mind first. I’m also thinking of Maya Angelou and Toni Morrison. Do you have ideas? I’d love to hear about up-and-coming poets.

Awake before dawn
In winter that is normal
Dawn’s not soon enough
Morning potential
Before the day’s chaos starts
Plans get distorted
Darkness descending
That living within our hearts
Often thrives at night
A tactical strike
Evading the defenses
Safe within their heart?
