• a waters whim

    in thistle worn withered wicked worried winter, hysterical eccentric
    concentric troves of
    groves the weeping willow grows-
    the strut admired beginning transpires-the forest run amuck-every
    little fawn marsh golden yellow, the lagging lack of plight into the
    night better days perfumed bloom a musty musk I ask we must but enter
    in confederate strongholds seek wisdom
    becoming to a mortal-heaven help but be for goodness sake the bough
    may break the gist and I would wonder why it takes so long to win a
    hug as after all the fall will fall befell the random night you could
    not lift a life so long a fright has logged the fire burning bright as
    candle burns a waxing moonlight shown white as silver stars carry on,
    forsaken souls receive their gold as sorrow send the sultry sun to
    change estranged remorse with love to touch the hearts of everyone-
    and if in turn the grounds are burnt
    the shadows fall on pavement split-parched so long a summer simmered,
    inclined to toast the berries off the bush-figurative study a deluge
    rain came and muddied the more the body struggle aches her trouble to
    the break of boast to boost the worst most
    stranded, remind the early tide rebounds-take me out to sea-regard me
    as a body of water set me free one weekend night in mid flight from
    anger ending possibility
    and I the guilty party counted on a misanthrope to wage the war to
    open doors-I hid timidly to hear the angels sing a miracle lost-skip
    stones a waters whim-to miss the kind heart melt
    that kissed the dawn of mornings felt-I follow allowing her gentle grin
    that has her in my heart again.

  • a perfect flower

    what is a perfect flower?
    long stemmed teardrop leaves
    babies breath as round as bees
    the beautiful American Beauty queen
    lazy Susan black as an African mask
    the mum and the poppy married happily at last
    iris as irresistible mistletoe kiss under sunny blaze
    days ease bring daisies dazed
    roses supposes through osmosis grow closest
    clover cover cuddles flower bed
    oak trees soar weeping willows implore earthly floor
    all my heart rise the garden wall
    to see you soon in summer
    your ever loving eyes bright light glow
    unguarded in the garden
    from head to toe I love you so.

  • Buddha in my arms

    green leaves mellow wind
    gone the facade a remnant of rage
    wearing silks the girls will twirl
    as well you may to catch happiness
    shy we carry on yet youthful
    in the derby hat looks on from far a place away your soldier
    tarnished we are more
    precious worth every day
    words more than swords may separate-
    blessings for a little girl I love so much who tries
    we give our cries for hugs till the end of time
    takes away all the pain
    to pursue skies of blues inclement rain
    I will try to change
    Buddha in my arms
    Sappho please remain
    cool is ever so quickly quiet
    pouring fluted champagne
    tumbles of bundles of straw
    callous I trample inconsistently
    banal alliances to flirt with hurt
    humbled by your petticoat
    repair the broken spoke
    that brought me hope to cope
    in stalls to broom so to speak
    your person in the wings
    of an eagle clad in low rise jeans
    for time around royal blue ocean
    in winter white near death thought of you morning dove in morning
    dew-respond sweetly serenely seen
    of love missing the path
    a gentle evening from yearning
    a now as ever eventful evergreen
    walk to the ocean
    hand in hand
    I love you with all my heart
    I hurt her I am eternally sorry
    turn around my tears fall in summer for
    my alabaster chiseled chum who
    takes my grief raising me to
    the sun never the same
    yet never to part in soul
    to hide her in my hope chest
    beyond a sandy saunter
    tears the most of
    wonder in blue/gray eyes
    so pretty
    and I her friend summoned
    will turn my will
    to higher places beyond pearl strands to the promise land
    forever if you will forgive my blunders as I rollup the sidewalk for a smoke
    embrace her hug so sweetly given
    a sacred trust as written
    then let me give her my confession
    that she may seek higher ground
    not to suffer again
    from a red fairy’s rude awakening
    and if you believe in faeries clap
    your hands
    not a woman nor a man
    humbled by all that you are true
    to yourself flowing with the tide
    I so love you baby blue
    no jealousy from me will wound your pride again sweet friend.

  • with you

    with you in the world
    tears glisten
    as I listen to the sound
    of raindrops on the ground
    growing gracefully old
    more than rain
    cry across the plain
    wash away endless sky of gray
    overcast the hurt and pain
    like streams of consciousness
    blurt the love of guilt I know not of
    flowers still-life wilt
    yellow white stems perfumed
    my heart is full to think of hue
    endangered only seems
    a wasted tangerine
    exhibits blush of ruche
    roughened by the blues
    I so need sky
    to fly on speckled wing
    to lose the most of things
    I alone in ego
    trace my steps Amiga
    in hopes the carefree sprite
    effervescent sparkles bright
    telling tales spinning spills
    in hurried whim
    to let the good times in
    the sheer lithe memory
    swim here this century
    bless the rest of everything
    heart of a champion
    in the minds of gallantry
    waters gush into pools
    pale bluish green
    do not hurt the coy
    yet feel the joy of summer rain
    that feels the cool upon the face
    has timely mix
    the angels may assist the soft truths
    that call you here
    in peace and love
    western dove
    the acceptance of a dream
    a willow by a stream.

  • a moon no more

    there silence
    hand shaking sadly
    primrose peace
    steal composure
    for a plea
    my kingdom for remorse
    setting suns aside
    hidden will
    master plan
    a lonely man
    a tide unturned
    a fist full of quip
    make it quick
    set apart
    a heart to be
    alone your own
    relinquish the fish
    recede tenderly
    cowardly
    a moon no more
    would darken skies
    that tell of woe some
    alibis
    have no thought a dimmest doubt
    I am alone a darkest cloud
    hung up in a sky so blue
    alone at midnight without you.

  • friend for life

    reserved in public places
    she holds back
    what she may want to say
    yet in a candid moment
    the sun has broken
    through the clouds
    when the day becomes beautiful
    and the rainy night abounds
    she is beautiful
    her eyes tell a story
    of the love inside her heart
    that but for the minstrels
    keeps her mind in tune
    the kindness in her gentle hug
    as blind as I am leads me to
    a quiet peace a reverence
    common cast when day is past
    that raises my soul to heal at last
    to all the absurd ambiguity strife
    my sweet friend for life
    with liberty a sacred trust
    an anchor kindred spirit fair
    and just
    every bit as lovely as a doe in the wood
    understanding nobly all is understood
    may she always feel as free and as good as tears may cry
    as an ever changing sunset
    in a most promising sky.

  • please remain

    I love you mellow
    existential fellow
    roll down hills viridian green
    to wade brook and stream
    blown apart by windy rain
    paint portraits please remain
    when I cannot see the face
    you are so dear to give your chandelier hanging here
    round pink table
    holds my ginger-beer
    spicy soda cool clear to toast your lime corona
    rest shoulders
    in the fabric of the sofa
    blanket throws over toes to comfort her
    music soothing softens city sounds
    window blinds darken rooms and brows
    where magazines and catalogues cluster
    on coffee table square low polished to a luster
    coffee cups cream custard silver spoons
    rounded as a full moon
    pillows fluffy plump ready
    for dreams as ripe as cherries
    in the sleepy afternoon.

  • pretty eyes

    if I could I would lasso brash past crass cant’s throw them
    in the surf run away from hurt grow divine in dirt-
    to sympathize with pretty eyes welling up with tears,
    the wasted years I peered at life in fear and strife
    crying in my beer-
    you are near though many miles away
    I hear you clearly most sincerely since you went away
    you love me more than you can say
    you are my dear bright knight
    fighting for the right to be okay
    you are the tide I am the bay
    you are water I am clay.

  • the sentiment

    lost in the sentiment
    fertile mind a rocky climb
    through silt and sediment
    say what is meant to mend
    for the time is evident
    unwind the knotted weave
    that causes you to grieve
    to fall on bended knee
    straining to be free
    from hurt and pain
    alone again it seems
    if I a witness to your soul
    maybe the only one
    then keep me in your heart
    and wear me like a shell.

  • early spring robin

    tears of joy tears of sorrow they’re all the same
    to leap across fond responses
    to offer solemnity
    I speak your name in everywhere to blossom
    you are my early spring robin
    to bring the warmth that hasn’t been
    we talk talk like honey bees that spare the sting
    in touch with much we love so much to hurt no more
    of everything I’ve asked of you you give me more
    in any case we rush to race a gift of grace
    to see your pretty face again once more
    at my nesting place where you may rest restore
    my heart is healing with your feeling
    the creation meaningful bright
    you give me light refresh my life
    as nothing could before
    I miss you day and night
    I love you baby blue
    as the night dreams of day.
