• the foreign moon

    the foreign moon
    I beg your pardon some pale night
    seeing her again in a new light
    makes heartache mend
    words we send
    getting a grip the script transcends
    I am one to quip a card
    a joker takes it hard
    a smoker barred
    to know her barely heard
    stillness
    water springs forth spring in springs
    the rebirth of all things brings
    naturally aged with time
    yesterday’s grapes tomorrow’s wine
    little kisses sweet and kind
    deeply missed last goodbyes
    early summer cries I love you so
    so few chances to tell her so
    for liberty her heart would
    gain to rise above the pain
    to call out her name in the
    pouring rain
    as she rides over rough terrain
    angel morning dove
    I will think of you
    your gentle hug
    with love

  • she pencil thin moments

    she pencil thin moments pack a present peace no stern feelings
    yet regard for something lean a miracle of groupings right off the
    starboard bow and hear the most fine tuning will get to her somehow in borrowed embargo a bless-ed vow-
    to lift the grip regretted strife to widen hugs as thoughts decide someway to shift so sweet survive I will not blame your milk white
    Pride
    perchance a dance a sweet amour would welcome you so soon
    the shore you much adore a wealth of health a fisher fly across the coast where boats
    boast of the tide
    around the bluffs near lies today the grasses long in languid sway
    there in the pockets of the banks then starlings nest as out to sea
    the daring tanks aloud I whisper off the pier come back to me
    I’ll harbor you my dear.

  • music for the muse

    barren beach below snow covered sand
    sun over the yardarm rue the stew Dinty Moore
    fish the fish wriggle worm lure the lurid splash
    diver bubble bends trouble murky brine
    old boats sail away never die
    fore aft Chris Craft hull and kisses
    cast the mast crow’s nest rest witches
    give it up for lent lofty wishes
    bent spent cent sense solitude
    watery green Goddess of Neptune
    hurl the world submerge submit
    an aging bloom
    beckon second seldom clouds
    rain a strain of Strauss
    music for the muse
    coming out of her blouse
    glassy eyes descend
    hide hidden harmonic heretic
    reduce speed delicate for the benefit
    of merriment
    let there be
    incredulous contentment
    white street of Gloucester by the sea.

  • a silvery moon sparkle

    a silvery moon sparkle
    cool as a waterfall
    November shy starry sky

    crush ice in a chilled carafe
    water spill tall as a giraffe
    cast a warmer day into cold water

    soothes my heart to hear her laugh
    in ways the shades of gray
    turn a sunny day to bask

    another side
    elegant pine
    bark upon trees where leaves
    may leave but not forgotten
    you’re in my heart
    the natural beauty blossom

    love is a free full watery windy path
    the sentiment tell a tale
    of whimsy
    see the woman
    in workers clothes-

    I love her eyes her ears her nose
    that winning chin
    her arms her legs those fabulous toes
    instep with her that she may feel
    will not keep her from her grin.

  • étoilé

    deep tears escape down cheek
    parchment wither crack
    time wrinkle face
    abhorrent act

    raise gracious rage diligent glass
    endure stimulant
    regardless of age
    your silver glow encrypted

    turn a moon conflicted
    dark night surround by daylight
    puffy cloud wisps conspire
    sail into wind for hours

    turbulent seas make men tremble
    seek women in their dreams
    row galleon sail on
    air current fly eagle off the distant coast
    boast choppy seas
    frantic panic in the Atlantic
    lost to
    praise the sun
    waves warm feel thaw
    golden rays upon the day
    begin to melt the seagulls play
    find
    étoilé the star of guidance shine
    tell me I am yours that you are mine
    in all the mention of the time
    whisper words soothing kind

    swim with the fishes is there time?
    ask for kelp all for brine
    an ocean of love may mend the ship
    that flow from the heart to save the trip
    though rushing water swell and dip
    welcome moon it’s half past noon
    we’ll view the view and get there soon
    before the juniper bloom in June.

  • etch

    star etch scratch
    Bombay stretch path
    rain stained street black
    market place hurry haste fallen to your present state

    breathe hookah hashish in rough honed alley
    emerald mine dust grime the sound of bells abound
    citadel pray palms sway canyon quake awakened by the dawn

    fires roar animals roam towns poor no repair
    rubies in dark cold archives of museum
    shoeless children grow old with winter a fragile fanaticism
    feed a family-dog and cat the delicacy-
    western thought fight reference

    night drenched fear relentless monsoon
    morbid gloom so many doomed with people to spare-
    minimal miracles bargain cynical sovereign
    you suffer the mother of silence regarding violence

    too pale a positive position know from reading volumes voluminous bibles in the throes of trial by era time capsule
    centuries call in the monolithic overpass well rounded minds invaluable

    rock ledge hold
    cavern paved with gold-star studded sapphires in the chamber
    echo mellow fault-line crack giant formation beg for
    pressure to be released sons and daughters tied to the deceased-

    jarred immutable condition reduced to tears
    loosen inhibition-losing faith an exorcism-
    the blind dream of vision without a set plan nothing pans out
    break tradition make a beeline for antihistamine
    banish the malice from being

    drink to your manifest destiny-
    exhibit the harmony pray for light of day
    may the sky be filled with sun
    praise The Lord
    The Lord is one.

  • dreamy eyes

    unwritten thought feel
    taken to adapt
    never lose the choice to choose
    vocal in periwinkle blues

    chasing a miracle
    invisible invincible prophet
    science for a rocket
    picture in a locket
    semi precious stones inside a pocket

    alone with the angels
    guarding overhead
    something that they do
    while we sleep soundly in our beds
    to every kind gesture said
    persevere the lives
    a fight within to give it up
    which could erupt

    how lucky it’s been
    the woman whistle
    through the wood
    sun reflect her innocence
    dream the theme of summer
    the gloved hand of a farmer

    water earth sky the season
    affirm the reason
    sunrise dreamy eyes
    love the dark
    the light of day will stream

    stars light the sky
    perfection is a feeling
    true is a life lived aloof
    the camera breathes with every proof

    candles bright the sense of night
    in the light of a cool Spring moon
    to say i love you miss you
    with tears the size of elephant ears

    how good of you
    she with sensitive eyes
    shy
    strive to try
    you will heal

    when we see each other again
    count her fingers and her toes
    kiss you hug you hello
    dance with you under the moon
    on a lake
    farmer in good faith
    every breath taken
    never forsaken
    the very depth upsetting
    the function of creation
    since we first met
    react a tactful fact
    you are my Mac
    I am your jak.

  • dreamer

    deep blue eyed dreamer
    under majestic
    metallic moon azure sky
    on the road miles wide
    rains where horses graze
    grass can’t grow in snow
    hay mainstay
    dogs won’t stray
    shepherd herd the herd
    with words heard
    they obey

    sun peer from sky forever shy
    dawn belong to the morn
    lapse in time writ the rhyme
    clear crystal sheen
    that only May surmise the green
    chartreuse destitute shoot
    covered over root
    snow alone nature mute
    frozen ground mood allude
    hibernate winter brood
    relate the thing hope of Spring
    when bird take wing
    sing song soon.

  • cornflower blue sunflower skies

    cornflower blue sunflower skies
    clouds daydream adrift to lift
    shade of gray a palest green
    allow the plow of yellow corn
    before the loss of cool in early morn

    fill farm stands to the brim with apples pears grapes-squash
    carrots turnips potatoes cucumbers tomatoes-the harvest approaches

    weather rough ground hard windy
    flinty skin dry eyes gritty
    sand storm lost in thought
    courageous parting with the past
    walk with me again on the beaches east end
    sit with me on the shore looking over the horizon
    it is you I am looking for at the end of every rainbow
    you hand me a paintbrush and you say paint it.

  • clock

    seasonal clock
    jet black rock
    liberty rile the heart
    fabric static spark
    the past we slowly dig
    resonate to know of Spring
    landscape disappear into the clouds
    uncovering cows
    new mood strewn over streams
    kindly sigh relief
    daylight craving time
    has a lot to say my melancholy pine
    streak across the sky Greek God
    in your silver ship mirrored
    get a grip thought the daughter
    the world thaw to water
    drown sorrows solemn
    sorry sentiments shy maudlin
    secret dream rely fantasy
    the milk of sweet humanity
    queen of sanity
    sense reality
    contend the meaning
    love is healing an original feeling
    in the late night of the evening.
