Cozy Hearthfire
Fires
Warm hands
Chill winds brought,
Sting of blown snow
Ceases all thought
Of sunset beaches glow,
For icicles form and drip
Taking us on a winters trip,
Singing carols to make us happy
Around a hearthstones warmth, sipping coffees.

In the Distance
Far and away as hours play
The strings of my heart are gay,
Although these hours gnaw away
At them and mix in with distress,
For only they stand between caress,
Comfort or kindness to bless
Life, as its been through this hell,
Heaven to find, only a spell,
In a jar on unions shelf.
The strings of my heart are gay,
Although these hours gnaw away
At them and mix in with distress,
For only they stand between caress,
Comfort or kindness to bless
Life, as its been through this hell,
Heaven to find, only a spell,
In a jar on unions shelf.

Levitation
Leastways, the ground fell away
East of her ensorcelled body
Verily, making her feel bouyant
In the air floating above it,
Tasting the wind blowing her hair
Arisen as sun beside blue earth
Tingling with anticipated bliss
Intermingled with remembered dread
On another plain of existence
North of the moon on her horizon.
East of her ensorcelled body
Verily, making her feel bouyant
In the air floating above it,
Tasting the wind blowing her hair
Arisen as sun beside blue earth
Tingling with anticipated bliss
Intermingled with remembered dread
On another plain of existence
North of the moon on her horizon.

Coelescent
To know me is to harmonize with me--
I've got this built-in spray glue
To annex away the blues
For the one that's truly true.
Yet, also, for more than grips she--
Her other side of bare love
Is multifaceted like crystals wove
Into the calico of this souls trove.
I've got this built-in spray glue
To annex away the blues
For the one that's truly true.
Yet, also, for more than grips she--
Her other side of bare love
Is multifaceted like crystals wove
Into the calico of this souls trove.

Is it Love?
Though one's heart
May be known in part,
Another before time let
Them then to have met
In low-born circumstances,
Yet one comes by pure chances,
For one dance,
The others glance,
Still, there are some things
That can't be gathering
Dust in the attic,
For she's too erratic
Looking for the ecstatic
Night of Knights,
Ready to take flight
For monsieur Right.

The Blur of Words ~ and a few things that got lost
The memories of the loss of family
Sundry sleepy Sundays solace,
There was never another caring Church,
What was found was gladly lost then.
Found flaws in related members,
Failures in asorted relations of your own,
Pardoned by words, chanted and prayed,
Only to see life didn’t ever answer more.
Swearing allegience to legions of angels,
Unswerved by spate of discourse in the dark
Where all hearts mend the daylights burn,
Bled in every direction heading southerly.
Mothers and fathers bearing no fealty
To spawn...

Today
Nowadays are blonde,
People take throwbacks as true,
Like the earth being all flat.
The currents are black
Flowing with lost white ice caps
Where Dems fear to tread.
Life at the present time
Can’t decide what the truth is
Without a new mode.
People take throwbacks as true,
Like the earth being all flat.
The currents are black
Flowing with lost white ice caps
Where Dems fear to tread.

Can’t decide what the truth is

Dreams Don't Decieve
Your mind bluffs
But dreams won't
Let you go,
They'll sort
Out chaos
Wit creates,
Hesitate
Only when
You can't spout
Because doubts
Of others
Stone your speech,
Yet you're free
To see sun
Risings truth.
But dreams won't
Let you go,
They'll sort
Out chaos
Wit creates,
Hesitate
Only when
You can't spout
Because doubts
Of others
Stone your speech,
Yet you're free
To see sun
Risings truth.

This is a Newsletter Poll
Do any poets out there have a real following that generates an income for them? I ask because then if I do start a newsletter this would facilitate readers to continue and give a new source of income.
I'm dubious right now. Reason being i have only a small readership to produce for on Medium. I am trying to get consistent but am flagging. I am just tired. Physically and emotionally. I guess i need a vacation from the internet as well. Its time. I've been super consistent for a couple decades, more or less. That is a long azz time!!!

Rice Dish
Viscous meal
Slung in bowls
Of ready meat,
Curried spiced
Chicken bites
Stirred nice,
Legume fruits
Like black beans,
So tasty.
All go well
With gooey
Sticky rice!

Your New Ghoulfriend
He was stunned -
the stranger in front of him looked exactly like the girl he'd been dreaming about.
On this sultry Summer night a woman's shimmering outline walked towards him.
His tiny rowboat seemed useless, since he was about to leave the docks.
They left in a cabriolet.
