Pine branch spearing rain-damp earth,
I dig mud puddles for lagoons
that tricky kings and queens spangle like jewels
cavorting along riverbanks,
lickety-split walnut shells versus leafy canoes,
autumn-crisp . . . more

To sleep and yet not dream,
to cease to even feel.
My life is not what it seems
and yet its all too real.
To look forward to the end
is an old man’s luxury
And yet, for me, there is . . . more

Sunset's lovely glow
closing day's end vividly
bringing dreams closer.

The sails flap listless in a damp dead wind.
Sheets limp on the bow, she glances toward a
blank horizon, lost in the distance.
Below deck, frustration and words fill the void.
But here, . . . more

Here I sit in the shallows of my tormented thought between worlds of the body flying downward and the soul sailing upwards will the thermal drafts hold me there.
Whispers of voices crowd my being . . . more

The heat caused steam to rise from the sidewalks, as I waited that August 4th 1988
I rub my pregnant belly and wipe my brow
You are still inside of me, heavy but still
I . . . more

The house is quiet, only the hum of dryer to keep me sane.
She is gone, only 20 miles away, yet gone for the week.
I write, do laundry, write some more.
Happy to have the house to myself.
The dogs . . . more

Voices joined
Whirl in my head
Pain abounds
Flowing in the wind
No joy here
Chaos in its stead
Close my eyes
Feel darkness
Closing . . . more

Hummingbird
You bright and burning fuse
Living spark from the anvil of God
His name barely fits on your tongue.
You tongue of pentecostal fire
Arrowhead of jade from a sunbeam's . . . more

He was one of the special ones.
That come along once in a while
Captured us all with his Aussie smile.
He taught us to dream, taught us to care
That we could change Earth for the better
If we . . . more

Desire #1
How much we share, as yet unknown,
In lives apart like spotlights searing city skies,
Roving lidless, gazing upon the heavens, yet
Seeing neither stars nor each other.

Lovely maiden
Long red hair cascades down bare shoulders and
blows in the salty sea breeze.
She sings a song never before
heard by human ears.
Enchanting and hypnotic
The maiden . . . more

so surprised to see
two days after the rain...ice
we, who of all people
know a thing or two
about growing colder

Beneath the gnarled oak,
I thought that twisted root moved-
black snake slithered off!

The wind blows my dreams
To all corners of my mind
Floating free
Tormenting me
Holding me back from all that could be
You're there
Calling to me . . . more

The memory of that day, a rip in time
I should have walked away
Run toward the sublime
Looking toward the purple sky, I hoped for a sign
Nothing but diamonds . . . more

The pleasure of your company is requested
Here in the poetry cup, where images reign
In endless sup of cinnamon and peppermint;
We’ll speed with Enzo down
A gravel road, dusted in fresh automotive . . . more

Sadness seen in winter's white blanket
covering lush forests
green like the color of her eyes.
Lakes and rivers are quiet and serene,
but with sun and rain comes rebirth.
Then, water . . . more

Chartreuse mountains erupt
from deep within the terrain,
red mist rises from
cold black sargasso sea.
Gibbous moon slips through
gnarled fingers of ancient elm,
home of the buzzard . . . more
