• will the wonder

    will the wonder.

    will the wonder surge the sea
    see you as you are
    a shining star upon the heavens
    on the horizon of the earth plane
    trace the smile of her face
    commit to memory i embrace
    a simple rhyme
    thunder of her grace divine
    humanity candidly corrupt
    conspire the night ensue the moon
    silver light play
    against the backdrop azure sky
    the earth reflect her mirth
    in worlds apart with loving heart
    she know the temper
    of a centaur in december
    do not hurt
    when you remember
    this old girl.

  • sun in his sky

    and in the wood
    play among the wolves
    upon the glen to glide barefoot
    along the glade
    rain pour down in the shade where tree limb shook
    lie flat against the amethyst rocks fragrant jasmine
    flow down stream into brooks
    a scenic solitude rekindle quietude
    muffled splashes carry the stone honed coast of evermore
    close hawks boast to toast
    their caws from the sycamore
    giant oaks
    litter the coarse ground
    with acorn
    the wind whips tremendous chill ferocious through the trees
    in a moment from autumn
    to winters drop in barometric pressure
    mourn summer days long since gone that filled the body with pleasure
    give me sun in his sky
    sea surf sand
    in pink and blue and tan
    where does the sun go when it rains?
    is he Incognito at Starbucks playing video games?
    or is he listening to an old recording by Johnny Mathis “when sunny
    gets blue”?

  • the love

    the love is in the character
    sparkling water
    sheepish sheer pleasure
    live forever
    in the heart and mind
    every gesture
    sung slow sweet
    the hillside hours brave
    lonesome gorgeous maven
    find you in your haven
    held to form
    a child is born
    the burly brilliant storm
    two thousand years yield morn
    in fields of yellow corn
    as after all the blossom bring the thorn
    recede the flaky leaf from frigid frost
    the bible speak to all of them
    redeem the mighty worst
    exceed the current curse
    that list from side to side
    walk once more on water
    through the countryside
    God bless to be alive
    may dignity survive
    lit candles to the cold black sky
    I miss you more than I can say
    rain a painters gray
    loved you since the day we met
    walking by the bay and yet
    with words you speak
    we seek the moon and stars
    in a better light
    goodnight angel
    God bless you sweet friend
    day is at an end
    tomorrow my regard for you
    a masterpiece of whites & blues
    an anthem in the morning dew
    the past is past the future cast
    the doubt of night be but a dream
    without a loss I have not seen
    the war is won forever
    in a place where the heart lives
    the golden wake of sleep
    the rise and fall of the season
    ever changing
    find you
    pristine water
    to sooth these dry eyes.

  • when night is never commonly

    when night is never commonly
    trees swoon southernly
    canst rekindle comfortably
    desire in monotony

    fill will transparent
    fall into Atlantic
    fasten the romantic
    eyes meet moon melodic

    dire feeling ill-equip
    to martyr your sweet cause
    the one of welts and whip
    raw unrelenting grief guilty grit

    imagine you and I somewhere on a ship
    on holiday to take a trip
    with rainbows on our lips
    from ports of call to feed our souls

    white winter angry
    world bold as bitter brandy
    ocean roll cold sandy
    wind is gaunt and gangly
    moon marooned at noon
    until stars share his sky.

  • to the sky I spy the amber sun

    to the sky I spy the amber sun
    in winter harsh and glum
    wandering blue as ample ramble
    clouds are barely one

    grateful for forest green
    splendid spruce pine for me
    froze the earth and all she glean
    troubled in her worth esteem

    be well the time abate
    no seconds on the plate
    to think it all too late
    remorse is great

    the music curve
    arch angels sing
    to know the very truth of life
    to have you in my sphere

    translucent waters cleanse their care
    to guide the rivers collide regale

    out of my element there
    in a state of kind regard reflect eclectic stars

    hurl gold moon into ultramarine sea
    pink sky resign turn darkest wine

    follow hallowed tomorrow with tumultuous slumber
    colder than a sorrow in summer.

  • wind

    whisper rushing water
    birds glide air currents
    the bluff barks rough
    long grasses golden hay flattened
    marsh in the harsh of winter
    a heart in the middle of the day
    wispy thickets lisping
    blown biting bully muddy earth
    sandy soil loosens stones running
    shocks the rocks bolder
    under sensitive sky
    massive clouds hung low
    in the dirt felt the debt to hold
    winds fickle forces come and go
    with the strength of a mind spring
    rain crushing the pines
    bent torn
    sending storms
    foliage overgrown thrash thrown
    winds groan
    nature’s warning growl
    a departure
    sun fires bright
    till then darkest night
    when the moon ascends to prowl.

  • a Januaury song

    saving days from raving crazy train wrecks dazed
    plodding the wobble of sadness sobbing
    increased the senseless sorrow that never seems to cease
    the sensitive sympathetic softly sighing silence listening
    soon the moon sweeps tides from wells of wishing
    the east end best for bottom fishing
    test lines fly the boats and brine the harbor sky misting
    tugboats call their foghorns blare
    a January song a winters tale.
