tin stars distract

tin stars distract
lite the dirt the beam compact
combust/react

lovers woo
envelop lovers woe
thoughts you knew you may not know

swim sea undertow
deepest waters crash
soaring seagull cry

loneliness will tell you why
you haven’t got a friend nearby
to care until the end of time
a virtual ascend

happy fellow warm mellow
moon low world cold
in that old familiar way

salmon spawn against tide
blue fish run away
fishing fleet fish for meat
sell it by the bay

Fall skip into Winter
fell on Ice/slip no grip
darkness whisper whimper

so cherished is your sleep
you haven’t heard a word I speak
nocturnal wish surreal
murmur in realm of dreams.

bless by will

bless by will
harmony instill
explore the ponder
of a fonder fill

water pour
drops encourage goblets
the size of faucets
replenish thirst

all is worship
worried dignified gauntlet overflow
look gaunt high cheek-boned glow
positively magnificent

elegant
when you speak
take a chance
take me to your Paris France

where we may skip and prance
princesses in our own tuxedo pants
embrace a fine romance
in a finest dine and dance

walk with me on the Champs de Élysées
catch a cold speaking Portuguese
some day

travel Italy please
we’ll sit at Trevi Fountain eating bread and cheese
walk through Vatican City
cobblestone streets old pretty

Ferrari fiat Maserati
pizza pie home made genoa salami
pasta drizzled with fresh extra extra virgin olive oil

roasted garlic cloves manicotti ricotta
marinara & spaghetti al dente linguini boil
mussels in white wine/butter sauce will do
fresh baked sesame bread/Tuscan vino white & red

eating our hearts out in Europe
we must travel to be sure of
to live like queens they will serve us more of

take a dip in the sea when the surf’s up
on a sail boat we will manga till sun down
as fireworks streak across our bow
and the milk is creamy straight from the cow.

calls to beckon

grapple
“push-pull”
enorvating
walk for miles
stars glue
to the constructive sky

analyze invert
stride paths
the pathological embrace
to goad the heard
hanging onto their every word

discover the pearl
without a wicked world
to seeth outcast out of reach
seize to capture me
captsize you at sea

exemplary great monarch
butterflies fly free
freezing on a beach in winter
gray day gray overcoat
black cap brimming no sunning
sing soothing songs
rejoice in the camrederie
shine your ability
grit a homily

answer calls to beckon
lessons learned are welcome
pinch of salt expressions
won’t get us to Heaven
unless they come with directions

direct attention to the bread unleavened
we the people
like our Peligrino with lemon
tempt fate read tarot
in the fight to stay alive pursue the dawn
without your love i am gone
gone out of mind forever long

longing for short-cuts
a bandage for a bruise
color me black and blue
in regard to taking it hard
when i lose
paintings poems friends of bluest hue
true friends need hugs
as rivers feel the rapids ever race
to find a waterfall
a flower in a vase

to catch a gush upon a blushing face
enter into a state of grace
as ever was a peace to put in place
children succeed when they are safe

if grownups never grow up
they hurt and cannot heal
in fantasy the dragon slain
the air is fresh and clear

everyone is dear to love
the sun in summer sets
the beauty of it’s timelessness

reality is meant
to pay the rent and earn your debt
a hard hard place to get
to have it all or lose it
whom of us would choose it?

speak words of love like cello music
a flute like a memoir
soft in sweet harmony
marry the magical monastical
moved to tears
fantastical dreams in homage.

the restless way

mid moment
waves splash spray spill foam covered rock
where vessels dock
fog seal seashells in the sand
ships tied to the pier upon the shore
whitecaps wake for
trolling trawlers sake
break against the rocks to the ocean floor
warmhearted
uncharted
the luck of the draw
finishing touches for
turning about in the wind
sailing in the breeze and then
taking on rough sea again
a night of star filled sky
redirects the eye
to find the restless way
letting go with willingness
in the wonder of the day.
