POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
just trying to keep it simple...love laugh and give...peace
why don't we do it in the road...
old school
everyone in the neighborhood
would pitch in all week
stacking and storing
short and long
big and fat
skinny and small
lying in the backyards
waiting for the big day...
dusk is falling
time to go
bring out the wood
people moving here and there
barn-fire in the middle
of Lowell Street and Nashua
pile it up high
here comes the guy with the gas
and the kid with the matches
Boom, burn baby burn
flames dancing
wood crackling
firecrackers and cherry bombs popping
Happy 4th of July...

One Day of Love
I remember it
I'll never forget it
it was so special
so full
one day
maybe I was 7 or 8
my birthday
mom said "no school for you today"
I was gonna stay with her
all day
she made me chocolate cake
with vanilla frosting, my favorite
for breakfast
went to Arlan's and let me
pick out any toy I wanted :)
two six-shooters with holsters
cowboy hat and a sheriff's badge
walked hand in hand to mom's hangout
The Polish-American Club
she had a couple of beers
I put my guns on
played the jukebox ...

hang on
even in the darkest dark
there's a crack
a pinhole
a tear somewhere

Want some love
to stand in.
A puddle of love
to splash in.
Love rain down on me ♥

up on the roof
could have been you...
and me forever
i remember wishing
i remember hoping,
i remember being crushed
we were kids
ten or eleven
it was a summer night,
too hot to stay inside
we were out on the roof
the whole gang , all of us
the air was heavy
the stars were out
it was a single kiss
to you it was just another night
to me it was forever and ever and ever...

Bedtime Stories
I have no idea
why you can't sleep,
could be 1 or 2 things
maybe 3...4
or many more
I have no clue...
could it be THE MEDS
is it your bed
all in ya head
is it your health
maybe too much wealth
phone, internet, TV
coffee, tea or me
mood, food, screwed, blued or tattooed
tic-toc of time
could it be, salt, tequila, lime...
suck
or just the freaking vastness of being
"Lost in Space"

Flower Power
a smile
free to give
so easy to use
turning dark to light
giving life to wilted flowers ♥

No Picture Needed
It was a moment
everything was free
just right
the air was bouncing
the sun was tripping
you were there
and so was i
your laugh was perfect
your smile on fire
happiness and joy
rolling around like thunder and lightning
fighting it out...
and they both won
a moment to remember
forever

Splash!
I love you with a gazillion hearts
everyone of them overflowing
pouring out my love for you
pure and simple
red hearts, green hearts, blue hearts
like the colors of a rainbow
yellow, orange, violet and indigo
colors of love splashing everywhere
filling the sky, covering the ground
a gazillion hearts, filled with love
all for you ♥
