Nature's Snuggery
A masterpiece to rest and meditate
once upon a reality timeshare
of tranquility's moonbow in verdant trees
elysian's nature in the wooded snuggery
atop the crop and mountain gully
and wildflowers growing down memory lane
touched by the dew as if a fine mizzle
listening to a symphony of choiring leaves
of secrets and whispered sleepy dreams
embraced by the souls of nature's decree

The Soft Assurance Of Destiny
We want the 9th inauguration as we stand in the midst of your Heavenly Glory
The meek shall inherit the land in the shadows of society’s systematic purgatory
We have fused within portals of time, made castles in the skies
Our Kingdom from the calling as we submerge in the benediction of the abyss
Drowned overboard corpses lost in a reminisce, reborn into Psalms Lullabies
The sail of the wind propels the flight of our pilgrimage, the more mountains our weary feet have climbed ...

The Disease
Depression can be spread to you
I’ll tell you what I mean
It’s something that’s inside of you
There nestled deep within
Invading all your thoughts
And playing havoc on your brain
Your heart is filled with darkness
Your emotions soaked in pain
The illness spreads through your veins
Your whole body now consumed
I’ve seen it happen once
And the poor girl started to use
I never will forget the day
I met miss Lina Rose
The day she started therapy
We wore the same dark clothes
Lina didn’t talk...

Other Than That, Missus Lincoln
I got to sleep
finally at 5 a.m.
forgot to turn off the phone
and case manager called at 9:55
about my protein order
which is months late bc
I or somebody forgot to--
no, they had left a msg
on my whatchacallit
voice mail
and I never answer
unknown numbers or voice mail
bc they always want money
and I am already tapped out,
giving to Katie Porter--who lost--
feeding the world's kids...

There Must be an Easier Way
A truck from nowhere
throwing you in a ditch
waking up
bruised and bloody
wondering
WTF?
how do I cope
with this new me?
I liked the old me
self centered
recrimination free
Pain,
how do I shut out the guilt that was?
as walls of narcissism crumble
I start weeping,
for no apparent reason
The fetal position of my soul
cries out
until my heart grows
falling through an open door
finding power
in me
throwing you in a ditch
waking up
bruised and bloody
wondering

Poseur
I wonder if naturists
See me as a nudity prostitute
As i'm paid
For being naked
In front of a small throng
Of budding artists
Like a life modelling gangbang
I remain chaste
Rather than chased
No fun, or frolics
Just hard core posing
For hard cash
For my two hour flash dash
I'm a conducter
Of an orchestra
Of a myriad palettes
Paintbrushes, pencils, pens, and pastels
Connect with lily white paper
Leaky interpretations
Of me!
I have about thirty of them
Adorning my hall wall
They could...

Dinosaur
But What if
This poem was
In the shape of
A dinosaur?
How would it
Affect the prose?
How would it
Change the Meaning?
Would anyone Recognize the effort?
A long winding Tail Made up
Of twisting words That wrap

Triple Twenty
No-one knew
Or possibly didn't care
Or wonder
Why this particular dragonfly
Had no tail, or much body
And that's why
It had no control
On how it could fly
Oft seen
Crashing into trees, hedges,
And other dragonflies
Who often mistook this dragonfly
As a helicopter seed
As it crashed chaotically to the ground
This was not good for the dragonflies' morale
He soon took to wearing
A false torso
Which kind of gave him better balance
And in time
Was able to fly again
Although he came to a tragic end ...

Safety in Conformity
within the box conformity resides
safely within my limit I confine
never to follow uncharted highways
or to stumble on unfamiliar terrain
I know my dreams remain unseen
left forever in my peripheral sight
but not hurt with disappointment
never to embark on any daring feat
I am safe here you see
living in conformity
doing the circle game for eternity
thinking within the box safely
within the box ideas may go stale
the same inspiration will prevail
but time is unwasted in ideas uncharted
slow and steady...

Caerulean Warmth
paint I the words instead
when sight eludes a treasure trove
of the many wonders that reside
in boundless fields high up above
there high above dreams may take flight
with puffy clouds as hopes and fears
collide and embrace so tight
above the canvas wide imagination soars
vast and grand the skies above
it is the honey warmth on your skin
the coolness of a breeze in puffs of breath
that evoke that gentle touch felt within
with your mortal eyes you may not see
your spirit's sight will always be free
when sight eludes a treasure trove
of the many wonders that reside
in boundless fields high up above
there high above dreams may take flight
with puffy clouds as hopes and fears
collide and embrace so tight
above the canvas wide imagination soars
vast and grand the skies above
it is the honey warmth on your skin
the coolness of a breeze in puffs of breath
that evoke that gentle touch felt within
with your mortal eyes you may not see
your spirit's sight will always be free
