KALEIDOSCOPE
It is the rustling wind through the bowing trees
unsettling the leaves
while caressing the grass.
Starshine reflection
upon rain-dropped pools
Their light dances through the trees,
silver ribbon winding,
mingles green with indigo hues
lighting obsidian walls.
They weave their intricate plan,
1001 reflections,
cross streams to side of hope
searching for the colors ...
unsettling the leaves
while caressing the grass.

Petals Unfold
On feet with wings movements sway
silver shadows shine on rivers bed lay
glisten the dew to dream awhile
swirling about with a pixie smile
effortless wonder, witness me there
all of your splendor, yet not a care
hearts filled with laughter all can see
passion overflowing, releasing, set free
priceless this moment under moon bright
my heart shining in its lustrous light
birds hum the tune my feet tap dance
I witness your beauty, now entranced
smell of the wood fire burning...
silver shadows shine on rivers bed lay
glisten the dew to dream awhile
swirling about with a pixie smile
effortless wonder, witness me there
all of your splendor, yet not a care

passion overflowing, releasing, set free
priceless this moment under moon bright
my heart shining in its lustrous light
birds hum the tune my feet tap dance
I witness your beauty, now entranced

BREATHE
In darkest night
you stain me pure
of innocence.
A revelry of songs sung,
of midnight kisses
and hope eternal.
Lips that speak not of
lust,
but of intention.
Harmonies entwined
replacing sorrow
on a moon's eve breath.
as simple as the
brush of my cheek
that guides your hand,
its silk
delicate and deliberate.
Needing
the embrace of its
mirrored soul.
In darkest night,
sadness removes its weight
of yesterday,
and moves on flighted
wing.
Breathing life into the present
you stain me pure
of innocence.
A revelry of songs sung,
of midnight kisses
and hope eternal.
Lips that speak not of
lust,
but of intention.
Harmonies entwined
replacing sorrow
on a moon's eve breath.
as simple as the
brush of my cheek
that guides your hand,
its silk
delicate and deliberate.
Needing
the embrace of its
mirrored soul.
In darkest night,
sadness removes its weight
of yesterday,
and moves on flighted
wing.

20 minutes
Morning dew kisses my face
my 5am journey begins.
Entering the market to feed body and soul
I laugh at my peculiar ways.
A strong disdain for waiting in lines
fuels my early shopping foray.
Adeptly choosing a seedless watermelon
along with bags of spinach and carrots,
my adventure meets living history.
Most days I am the youngest shopper
as the others putt putt in motorized carts
or stroll a buggy as if enjoying a sunday ride
through the neighborhoods.
Then it happens,...

Fuel of Love
The eager caress of my
ability
takes you beyond reason.
To sensual dreams
unfurled,
a bite and a kiss
landing
in torrential bliss.
Strong gentle fingertips
looking for abandon
in the deep recess
of your soul.
A nibble and lick
in sensitive places.
Tongue will flick,
arms embrace,
filling the want,
Passion our song,
A moan and a sigh.
Taken hold of you
reaching new highs.
Legs entwined,
searching to become
closer, satisfied,
yet never enough.
A word and a thought
perfectly connected,...

100 oohs and aahs
An outline of my life. Many stories and unconventional life in most of these lines ~
1. got high every day from age 9-17
2. only did pot or lsd, never anything else
3. except mushrooms once and that was an experience not to be repeated
4. my first memory of recall was age 4, "helping" my grandparents build their home on the lake
5. stuck a hatchet in my foot and a trip to the emergency room
6. a wonderful memory as it showed they loved me
7. married to 1st wife 12 years
8. after 2 others, she finally...

An Innocent
An innocent dies in Darfur
And the world is up in arms
Because another singer
Throws out her backstage husband
An innocent is raped in Iran
And her family is enraged
Because they cannot
Beat her to death today
An innocent goes hungry in America
And my neighbors are angry
Because their sport's team
Is losing again
An innocent is saved by a mother's sacrifices
And there is global applause
Because two superstars wed "simply"...

Symbiotic Embrace
Terrestrial in nature
flesh exists solely
in transient illusion
barely breathing
hungering
to fill the void
of physicality’s limitations
Edenic in essence
love treads lightly
on earthy verdure
softly hesitating
suspended
as if to attend
its own unfolding
Lush in its virescence
spirit whispers softly
of primordial paradise
gently vining
intertwining
love and yearning
in symbiotic embrace
flesh exists solely
in transient illusion
barely breathing
hungering
to fill the void
of physicality’s limitations
Edenic in essence
love treads lightly
on earthy verdure
softly hesitating
suspended
as if to attend
its own unfolding
Lush in its virescence
spirit whispers softly
of primordial paradise
gently vining
intertwining
love and yearning

Not this time
I stare through the grey that slivers the azure sky...
Lips pressed to window wish only to breathe
pure
once
more
Eyes stained by ink that pours from the soul long to see
clear
once
more
Curve of ears crave to hear
sound
once
more
The edges are smudged to grey; a charcoal reminder of where
the fire once burned
You wish to bind me, ankles and wrists
with words
words...
words that promise warmth, but leave only shadow
Over the edge
push and empty the well of its ink...

Why Paint by Numbers?
You say you want to be defined
black or white.
Introducing Tone
I stand on the wheel
ready to introduce Color,
bold for the comfort of black.
With broad strokes, I dip my brush
Ready to create a rich mix,
Each hue a story of it's own.
In the end many shades of me.
Alone we create a palette
of grey’s.
Together,
hues only the imagination can conceive.
Boundless.
Seeing self through the liar's eyes
will leave us murky,...
black or white.

Dreamwalk through Desire
A dreamwalk through desire...
Two souls walk pathway past whispers from the stars and murmurs through the trees;
they know our secrets.
listen as the leaves exhale.
Bare feet caress trembling blades of grass;
Tinsel streaks to skin; the silver dew of night
Drawn from the heavens, hugs to curl under angels transparent wings.
there is comfort in the knowing
Blood runs hot under the surface;
surrender and feel the heat
That which runs through is unseen,
but on the skin and in our depths is felt.
electric charge through space...
Two souls walk pathway past whispers from the stars and murmurs through the trees;

Bare feet caress trembling blades of grass;

Drawn from the heavens, hugs to curl under angels transparent wings.
there is comfort in the knowing
Blood runs hot under the surface;
surrender and feel the heat
That which runs through is unseen,
but on the skin and in our depths is felt.

Perspicacious
Slivers of the day
Broken shards of time
Remnants of your essence
Linger on my soul
Daydreams fashion
Merge Our union
Cherishing the moments
Tokens of time
No responsive realization
Content to mind the bliss
Sharing fragments
Of natures kiss
Wordsworth and Cummings
Whisper in the wind
Breathing thoughtful breath
Food of our Souls
Broken shards of time
Remnants of your essence
Linger on my soul
Daydreams fashion
Merge Our union
Cherishing the moments
Tokens of time
No responsive realization
Content to mind the bliss
Sharing fragments
Of natures kiss
Wordsworth and Cummings
Whisper in the wind
Breathing thoughtful breath
Food of our Souls
