• 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.
