Barbara Bush
I admired her spirit and moxie
Though not a fan of Republican issues
Tough as nails she was
A loss, plain and simple

Scars
the very lines crossed each waking moment;
scars till scorned; seeking rebirth through new skin;
could one truly go through hell and back again;
or is there a-maze that will never cease to end;
perhaps one only pretends;
there's a race against time;
a chase called depression;
forks in the road to embrace discipline;
as rebels choose a path;
as the insiders laugh;
and the outsiders claw and scratch;
while the prize dangles in their face....

Talking about the Weather
It's a safe topic
Benign mostly
It's cold today
Don't forget your scarf
Hat too
"Okay"

The Rider
Saw this movie last night
It opens in the rest of the country this week
Left it's mark on me
I knew nothing about it
Every once in awhile you see a film that stays with you
Stark and telling
Blew me away actually
I thought I was a cowboy once
That's all I'm gonna say
Go see it
Tell me what you think
It opens in the rest of the country this week
Left it's mark on me
I knew nothing about it
Every once in awhile you see a film that stays with you
Stark and telling
Blew me away actually
I thought I was a cowboy once
That's all I'm gonna say
Go see it
Tell me what you think

Friend Intentions
There's a code that's missing;
Maybe the last number smudged
out, maybe, I was getting busy
pleasing boys to collect.
My deciphering goes askew
where men be concerned;
I don't have the tools to know
good friend intentions over
those wanting to fuck me
over my couch for their bravado
pleasure releases
But you are way different,
everyone would have walked
by now, indeed, you've stood
your ground spiritually beside
me with guidance at every
step we've BOTH taken.
And I, will go to you for advice ...

Bawdy at Best
Calls me Baby,
(Many other names that'll
remain silent to the reader,
unless blessed to be within
earshot)
I like the random,
tender sonnet of each
sylible heard,
keeps me hungry for
more in knowing he's
given thought to his
vocality, thought to me.
And I to, to return such
devotional names,
Some by way of moonlight
& candlelight
when a few names I keep
locked away could be deemed
salacious & bawdy at best
come out to play

Earth Gives Birth
Earth Gives Birth
Green zebra fruit
Fresh from Eden’s garden
Tended by African Eve
Whose bare hands and body
Dug into organic earth
With orgasmic eddies
To fill the hours
While kissed by heavenly gold
Of sun sent sin
With her plot of dirt
Tucked away in a patch of herbage sown
Bees did the pollen polka
For the earth to be with watermelon
Green zebra fruit
Fresh from Eden’s garden
Tended by African Eve
Whose bare hands and body
Dug into organic earth
With orgasmic eddies
To fill the hours
While kissed by heavenly gold
Of sun sent sin
With her plot of dirt
Tucked away in a patch of herbage sown
Bees did the pollen polka
For the earth to be with watermelon

Congolese Quest IV
Congolese IV
Champagne bubbles of oxygen
scented with mint
send love letters for my lips to open
to the kiss of vapor from heaven
Invisible angel of air teaches me to breathe again
Cotton cirrus rows
are like clouds sunken to earth
or alpine powder
for kids to make snowmen
but the harvest needs little hands
because white ribbons not made of ice crystals
and play is an uncle with chocolate bars
who visits only at Christmas
So I tread on feet of clay
In the shoe prints of the old man
Like an upland...
Champagne bubbles of oxygen
scented with mint
send love letters for my lips to open
to the kiss of vapor from heaven
Invisible angel of air teaches me to breathe again
Cotton cirrus rows
are like clouds sunken to earth
or alpine powder
for kids to make snowmen
but the harvest needs little hands
because white ribbons not made of ice crystals
and play is an uncle with chocolate bars
who visits only at Christmas
So I tread on feet of clay
In the shoe prints of the old man

Punk
Through the garden roams
amongst the reds and all the greens
the cutest tail one has ever seen
stealer of hearts
seeded, laid down
and locked away
a punk kindly known
feelings deeply shown
dancer about the dark
taken, given or sown
life lead through a loving heart
cheeky but undeniable
I can't do without
leading within the guise of you
candids shine
honest simplicity
in a complex world
amongst the reds and all the greens
the cutest tail one has ever seen
stealer of hearts
seeded, laid down
and locked away
a punk kindly known
feelings deeply shown
dancer about the dark
taken, given or sown
life lead through a loving heart
cheeky but undeniable
I can't do without
leading within the guise of you
candids shine
honest simplicity
in a complex world
