• burnt blue orange flame

    burnt blue orange flame
    great harmony troubled
    chaos clatter bells
    see among the mire
    heart fall in winter
    call contagious rage
    seethe silent grief
    violent heaving stir thoughts
    of her leaving
    feeling foolish
    brood mood consume evening
    slowly chaste raw moon
    give peace
    an incredible place believing
    circumstance follow interlude
    heart felt rebellion twist my confession
    professional courtesy dire-
    love her
    throughout all eternity
    the summer fill the day
    burnt-out August lulled cool
    autumn blew the leaves away

    winter looks colder than a dare
    raped the autumn trees leaves them bare
    in meadow mellow angels throw and catch their halos
    like frisbees in the air
    breezes crispy crackle sparks
    fiery discs dart back and forth
    faceted quartz lite different parts
    humble the tumbled ore
    from deep within earths core
    so are we as deep as a sea
    no sight of shore
    and you coming through
    like you never have before
    I respect your pain
    I love you like the grain of salt in rain

    moved to tears
    the fleeting years come and go
    you’re tireless wireless
    exceptional professional

    raincloud paint the sun upset-
    I pray the angels dry the sky
    gentle beauty in her eyes
    she cries to be in love.

  • a little while longer

    stay on the earth plane
    a little while longer
    madrigal phantom
    canyon hills gather beginnings
    endings fill the filament
    lament the will i met

    ointment rub away sorrow
    without you in tomorrow
    unkempt medusa
    rude enthusiasm sought the seeker
    some truth a pot of lies
    an artists proof an angel cries

    see the parting of the ways
    form a more perfect union
    arrays of new ones
    along the palisades-
    bathe in a glade down streams
    self consciousness gray the greens

    pity how she bleeds
    without that special someone-
    wife Mother Earth
    the stormy affair of her life’s work
    stillness walk in silence
    encourage benevolence

    sayer in troubled southern skies-
    through skirting issues
    tissues and a cane
    rebel cause the second came
    doubtful discriminations
    alter egos enflaming flames

    fire burn bright yellow
    flicker whiskey sours
    past partaken
    mistaken identity
    there is a better you in me
    someone I long to see
    who has a thing for spring

    purple pleasantries
    swipe the card of plenty
    tell me when you’re ready
    to the tune of a medley
    swoon the moon overwhelming
    the tide rushes very

    deep within the sea belly
    beauty of a whale
    may catch her tail
    her little calves running
    through wind tossed waves
    strewn prawn
    sea turtles seaweed jellyfish

    storms to coast the calm
    red flags reserve to warn
    floods flash reservoirs
    seasick senses surface
    race to rocky shores
    where seagulls swear and soar.

  • branches bending low

    overwhelmed by spells
    quell a realm bring rings as worn
    by trees in the center
    where the heart sleeps

    waiting for an answer in fall
    often watching the moon
    I think of you

    celebrations run the year
    we try to hear the underlying
    undying word of love as clear
    as a fantasy forgives forever

    cool and crisp windy ground
    whip and chill the dirt to flirt
    leafy crinkled crunch snap
    branches bending low
    half asleep we wait for snow.

  • Monolithic Aberdeen

    the mind a monolithic Aberdeen
    in the middle of a fantasy
    where all goes well between you and me
    you are my spring where June may avail
    bird on the wing of a dove in love spinning her tale
    I will fail no doubt to lend
    the end of such sweet harmony
    to bend like spoons weighted down by too much sugar
    stirred to awaken a sense of milk and honey
    left of tomorrow’s yesterday’s
    birds sip sweetest sap from the maple milked to tap
    buoyant buzzard bargains for bones in the shoulders
    of boulders-
    camping out bugs bite bats borrow ubiquitous unity
    bears outfox fish for lunch beavers bristle
    civilization dine on vacation steak gristle
    I am so lost not knowing the cost too much so little
    incurable thirst the juice of an orange wets the whistle
    where is my prayer book what have I done
    with my leather bound missile?
    my silence is saved it goes to the grave-our little miracle
    an answer so sweet to rub your feet to gain your trust
    to know that you love me as best as you can
    is genuinely just
    God bless you woman.
