Caterpillar'd
I watched the “roley-poley” bug wind
into a tight armadillo-like ball.,
rolling down the slanted stem, when,
I accidentally bumped it. Sorry.
I spied this succulent leaf yesterday
from afar and I was not watching or
looking out for anything but my early
morning meal.
Too often, I am so focused on my
surroundings during my journey,
I Think; I wonder if all this thinking
Prevents me from catching up to her.
Slowly now, I peered over the edge to see
the bug land safely to the Garden floor,
uncoiling...

You are my reasons for my reason,
My reasoning, my resonance.
Once upon a lifetime throughout
Seasons ---- one after another
and another, anew
Past anon, and now,
I waited ----
though not very patiently ----
touching many hearts, lives who
volunteered to intersect & infect
while I, in retrospect, learned
practiced and pined for ----------
though I had forgotten our beginning. . .
The birth of our first,
the onset to our living.
You are my reasons for my reason,
My reasoning, my resonance.

Penitential Austerity
I want You to know
ggoddam You are so
so incredible and
we both know. . .
I long to go
to flee
be free
unchained soul
You are just so
so Beautiful
and me so full
of it and fuel
of unworthy
an indolent view
I longed to be You
like You
but uncontrolled
I am shit –
a muddied soul
and
on my knees
amidst a river’s
flow
I...

Oblation
on the ledge,
the edge of
loneliness
You let me fall. . .
into Your eyes
gasping for air
I struggled to
keep afloat
my conscious
love for You.
desperately, though,
I wanted to free
myself of my need
for companionship.
You were kind
You were intoxicating
and I think You held
more common sense
when You left me
for life
and living.
We are both now Free.

My Family Dentist
Inclement atmospheric conditions, just right
often coerces me - I'm looking back. . .
youthful years, small feats defeated feet
& a pair of two by four Douglas Firs
dark evil black red stained
firmly held against Metatarsalgia pained
a toddler's plantars plus nails finishing
up an extraction towards some
hole ridden enamel pearly whites.
Dental Dad!!
Don't get me started on relating the
methodology using household
pliers.

Tongue Tied
Due to the physical
fact that my tongue
is not long enough ----
cannot grow taut enough,
though I straighten
and stretch
with an earnest
attempt. . .
I cannot
Taste Your Soul
Drink in Your Passion
Kiss Your Energy
Lap & Lick Your Thoughts
no matter how deeply
my tongue
inside of You
penetrates & probes
Perhaps what I need
are keys of intimacies
and / or a pick
of painful desires.

Impromptu Bloom
One day I found a large seed laying by the edge of the tarred two lane road
on my way to no particular destination; I enjoy driving to somewhere without
a map for it often adds mystery and adventure when life becomes too routine.
The seed was large enough and its contrasting coloration instantly caught my
eye and I pulled over to the side of its side of the road.
When I got home I planted the seed hoping and somewhat excited to find out
what rewards it would yield! After more than a year of everything I could think of
I kind of forgot all about the seed...

Your Love (And I'm in Love!)
Oooooo. . .
What can I do
When You're the one who's got control?
Oooooo. . .
It's a brand new day
And I love what You're doin' to my soul!
And I'm in love!
Love!
And I'm not afraid to say it.
Love! Love!
Singin' and a playin'
I can step out in love 'cause I know ----
You'll never let me go!
If I am sad and feelin' so blue
I think of who loves me----eeeee.
And vision of memory starts to come through
And You're beauty sets me free----eeeee.
Oooooo. . .
What can I do

Manatees @ Large (em_zee)
in a sleepless minute moment
missing Matthew (MZ) mightily
muse of my mind & my heart’s
mandibles munch toothless in
mulch and menstruating milk -
shake – ingly monotonous &
mind – less – ness.
Elusive and falling no sleep
For me
or in the east coast deep
manatees so elusively
glide along the sandy bottom
while my GREAT new friend,
Matthew, leads. . .
‘em.
Backdropped &
beneath,
Matthew (MZ)
Heals us (and me) ...
