Wine Light in Her Eyes: A French Song in My Heart
Wine Light in Her Eyes:
A French Song in My Heart
Louisiana had been returned to France from Spain and my gait had a new liveliness which could only be that of a lover. My fifty-year-old legs carried me down the colonial avenues of the French Quarter to the wharf where the schooner held my mystery woman. Though I’d never set eyes on her, the prospect of this woman fresh from the convent but ready to break her vow of chastity enthralled me.
And so before me, the schooner with sails furled beckoned with the passenger who was to be my wife. Like a Christmas present...

Easter
Late night poetry --
Inertia has struck again
or maybe it's just the chocolate
or the comfort of this couch
Sitting with all my kids
and their significant others
watching - of all things -
The Prince of Egypt.
They always loved the humour
the animation
the music...
I made them come to church
for the last time today.
I don't expect belief or reverence
-- don't have much of that myself --
They're finding their own
versions of faith now
maybe
Just wanted them to remember

Cleavage
glimpsing what's in between
the heavenly mounds
which your chest expounds -
I'm having a sexual dream
we're'in a field, where we both yield
to pleasures simple and fun
touching and feeling, sighing and squealing
skin upon skin being one
sharing emotion writhing in motion
going up, then coming down
a very real feeling, you're so appealing -
I am glad you I have found
just for a second your body beckoned
automatically I did respond
with peripheral vision i easily reckoned
in a field is where we belonged...

Engraved Regrets
I wish I could say that I hadn’t tried my hardest
but we both know I grasped at straws. I hate myself for that
It was the night you left me alone again,
the night I cannot remember and don’t care to
Everytime my eyes opened, you were never there
In the days we did talk more, you were never really there either
I carried your ghost in my arms knowing you will never appear,
knowing you’re always going to choose to stay dead to me
Even now, you’re a corpse walking amongst the living
It would kill your brain to pick me over your own...

Mine
I look at you
And I see comfort
I see forever and always
Every day feels so special
Makes me happy
I don't have to worry about anything
I know you will be here for me
Through anything
I have so much love for you
I love watching you grow
I love seeing your passion for your work
I love your determination and strength
I love how much you support me and my dreams
I couldn't have asked for a better person to call mine
And I see comfort
I see forever and always
Every day feels so special
Makes me happy
I don't have to worry about anything
I know you will be here for me
Through anything
I have so much love for you
I love watching you grow
I love seeing your passion for your work
I love your determination and strength
I love how much you support me and my dreams
I couldn't have asked for a better person to call mine

There are days
There are days,
And then there are,
Days….
I hope you know the ones.
Those days if we're living,
We can tally.
Notch upon the staff,
We carry.
Hold them bright,
When their light is sought.
Hold them right,
And they will be,
More than any thought,
Seen beyond our failing sight.
There are days,
Each, special.
There are days,
Which start and,
Being just right,
There end,
Becomes,
An end with us.
And then there are,

Inanity
20/30
Inanity
Ever striving to be
being, becoming
licentious at everything
incorporating as a
practice (within anything)
rendering
enabling
inner essence void
As an empty vessel
I am now
quite capable
panoptic able
infinite virtuosity
At last, I am inherently
of sense, senses, self
without attachments
while still, quietly
not apart of all around
nor independently
free, existing
with others
