Like Flames to Water
Flames to water
like
life to death.
She played
each day.
Like
stars to night
like
sun to day.
She paved
her way
into my life.
Her bright
light flickered
then died.
I gasped
a sigh
for my heart's
demise.
As my star
withered
before I said
my final,
goodbye.
like

Her bright
light flickered
then died.
I gasped
a sigh

demise.
As my star
withered
before I said

God's honest truth
As she lays in the hospital bed dying,
i have great sadness that my wife of 35 years is at death's door
There was so much more that we could have done together
My only regret is that I never hit her
That's the one thing I would do if I had to do it all over again
i have great sadness that my wife of 35 years is at death's door
There was so much more that we could have done together
My only regret is that I never hit her
That's the one thing I would do if I had to do it all over again

Carnal Crimes
Too many times
You have hijacked
My heart
Kicked it around
Torn it apart
Commiting Grand Larceny
With each new start
You trampled on
this nearly shattered heart
I don't need your attitude
It leaves me cold
Just like your
so called platitudes
There's no evidence
Left behind
Of all of your
carnal crimes
My neediness trips
Me up each time
Leads me off course
Fills me with such
Dreadful remorse
Now, I can...

Turbulent
Weather my unknown.
Search my soul's deep churning sea.
Love is turbulent.
Search my soul's deep churning sea.
Love is turbulent.

MY MUSE RESURRECTED ME
My heart was bound
in chains feeling the
pains of losing you.
The attention given
by others didn't heal;
only served as a reminder.
Offers of endless pleasure
by the Nymphs on Erotic
shorelines were futile..
THEN!
OH THEN!
CLIO, the daughter
of Zeus, the
Muse of History; one
of the nine Muses,
came to me in a vision
and beautiful poetry;
with a message of hope..
I came alive as she rang
my doorbell. OMG! MY
Muse resurrected me back
to erotic adventures never
dreamed of. I bow daily...

Mother Knows
Mother
Do you know what you’ve done
Did you see what you did
Was all for fun
Was he really worth it
Would he come back now
When he took his due
Was the night for him
Or did he care for you
Daughter
Mother please don’t cry
I know what I’ve done
I chose him well
He is really the one
He loves me true
This I swear to you
When the sun will rise
He’ll be standing before you
Mother
Her heart did break
Her sweet little one
Gave all her love
And...

Shooting Stars
we both gasped
looking toward the night sky
and pointing in opposite directions
relevant to the nature of our journey
separated by lack of communication
yet our inclinations brought us back together
to stand here in awe at the beauty
of a celestial show
stars showering in motion
across the horizon
drawing a line
to your heart from mine
tying us into an embrace
with fingers interlaced
looking toward the night sky
and pointing in opposite directions
relevant to the nature of our journey
separated by lack of communication
yet our inclinations brought us back together
to stand here in awe at the beauty
of a celestial show
stars showering in motion
across the horizon
drawing a line
to your heart from mine
tying us into an embrace
with fingers interlaced

Daffodils
we could count
daisies, daffodils
and dandelions
You and me
track the flight
of the ladybugs
bumble bees
& butterflies
dance in the
dunes in june
lie on the grass
and talk for hours
& as we go to sleep
we can count the stars
daisies, daffodils
and dandelions

I WOULD WANT TO BE A KEEPER
I would want to be a "keeper",
not a cheater, love-her-leave-her;
not content to be a "shafter",
I would want an "ever after".
If she put her hand in my hand
she'd not be just a one-night stand:
I'd respect her in the morning,
greeting her not just with yawning....
We'd want to grow old together,
facing whatever the weather.
Of her love I would want to be
worthy, committed, not flighty,
In return she would be someone
to command love not for mere fun

unwritten endings
24 of 30
I watched him walk away
with a distinct air of unfinished business
didn't even glance over his shoulder
no indication he ever would
but I felt the later in his departure
my mind began to tremble
while my heart skipped a beat
like a poem that ends in the middle of a stanza...
...just left me hanging
there's no letting go without closure
I simply had to keep it moving
do the best I could to focus on the present
while hope kept poking me in the back
the silent emptiness continually kicking me in the ass ...
