Last Rites
Leafy branches swing and sway
in hypnotic slow dancing rhythms casting flowing streams of rolling shadows
through Venetian blinds on bare white walls
gently transporting my withered being from the inner cries of this hopeless horror
back to the joyous solace of praying silently in my childhood bedroom
sensing an invigorating infusion of faith from my youth
that felt so lost for so long
to peacefully close my eyes
for the last time.

Floating
floating
uncontrollably
weightlessly
in apocalyptic skies
psychedelic
red and gold
blazing
scorching
approaching
rapidly
inescapable
pivoting
soaring away
returning
more blistering
scalding my eyes
deafening
ominous
blaring screams
shackled spirits
brain crushing
intermittently
fading and returning
thunderous cries
knifing my ears
maddening
floating
in and out
of whatever lies
floating
uncontrollably
weightlessly
in...

Irish whiskey
Carpel tunneling
through morning’s wee hours,
mazes of cornfields
for rare wildflowers,
to recapture summer’s fire
cold winter stole,
compatible quench
for a thirsty soul,
the odds of that match
look very risky,
compared to the luck
of Irish whiskey

Reflections
Do my poems reflect my life?
Or just what I intend?
Do I live the poems I write?
Am I what I have penned?
Do they form a two way mirror?
Can I comprehend?
Do they merely co-exist?
Through which do I pretend?

Home Restoration
Hot honey drops of sunshine land
like brilliant diamonds on sea soaked sand
rejuvenating breezes of salt infused air
soothing senses melting despair transcendent beauty unframed free flowing
hearts renewing souls glowing
lost hopes and dreams restore
at my home along this shore
like brilliant diamonds on sea soaked sand
rejuvenating breezes of salt infused air
soothing senses melting despair transcendent beauty unframed free flowing
hearts renewing souls glowing
lost hopes and dreams restore

Sunsets in the sand
your voice whispers in the breeze
