POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm just a cowboy. I've got some stories to tell and some scores to settle.
I didn't know where I was going until I got there ......
My body of poems is an open book
Having deleted the salacious content
Could actually give someone a link to the site
Not be embarrassed by the content of what I write
I feel like a writer now
With a solid collection
A fresh start
Ready for the next chapter of my journey

30 Seconds
You have 30 seconds to tell me you love me
Above ground on the subway
Heading into the tunnel
I love you ...

Birds Chirping Before Twilight
Ominous
The blaring ambulance sirens don't dare
Paying homage to the sparrows
Listen closely, cooing, they're flirting

Heavy like
Pure love
Choose one
Go slow
Til fast takes over
On your own
Let's have tea
Sugar optional
Gaze into your eyes

Pretty
She's pretty
Not cute
I'd show you a picture
Choosing not to
Respecting privacy
Wears dresses in summer
Classic style
Flies under the radar
By choice

Speaking in the 4th Person
Tried the first 3
Some would prefer if I didn't speak at all
There's always the written word
Have you seen my cassette recorder ?

We Chose not to be Lovers
In a perfect world
Maybe
Far from perfect
We just talk on the street
Then go home to cold showers

Drank me some WT 101 Last Night
It burns clean
Always tastes better half way through the bottle
Those boys sure know to pack a punch
Could buy more expensive but what's the point ?

Sometimes it's too Nice a Day and then I Feel Blue
Contrarian
Too much sunshine
Skin cancer does that to me
Hiding out when I should be riding the wave
Feeling in the pit of my stomach
Missing those past and present
It will pass
Gotta play that hand
Laughter in the background
Tears up close

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

April
It's one of the worst months of the year
An in between month
More like winter than spring
Still cold and leaves you wanting ....

Morning dew
Beautiful cloudiness
Sipping coffee on a park bench
Ginger buried in the flower bed behind me
She's been gone a year
I can't let her go
Dogs are like that
She helped me laugh everyday
Grace
Spirit
The top of her head smelled like maple syrup
I want another but I still want her
Waiting, watching for one that needs me
I'll know when I see her or him, they give you a signal
