POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I am on a journey… with my work, my explorations, and a few sad stories. I travel with a suitcase full of outrageous blessings. I am on a quest for truth, beauty and quiet joy. I am an artist, a writer, an explorer. ~unknown~

spring fever
there are always things
waiting to get done ...
but, the sun is shining
and I chose to dance on her rays
kissing flowers
watching light drip
warm honey
on blades of sweet grass
curving over tree buds
waiting to burst
their re-birth imminent
sway of the trees
casting shadows
ground covered
in floral confetti
bees buzzing
surrounded by so much
sweetness
birds tranquil
singing on
swaying limbs
sensual spring
how you lure me ...

all her life
she longed for many things
mostly to find a companion
someone who enthusiastically
chose Nature as his ally
who was fearless under her
shadow and sun
who could roll with her waves
unafraid of getting wet
in her psunami soul
who would bend
into her head winds
and smile when her breezes
whispered softly
telling beautiful stories
of her heart
dance in her rain
run barefoot through
all her fields
walk down her dark paths
among towering trees
without fear

And I said, Hey What's Going On !?
my thoughts are jumbled
in a contortionists nightmare
there seems to be no refuge
from the insipid noise
thoughts scream
throbbing in the agony
of pain and soulless encounters
with the evil
that ruptures holes
in my soul
I'm tired of being human
in a contortionists nightmare
there seems to be no refuge
from the insipid noise
thoughts scream
throbbing in the agony
of pain and soulless encounters
with the evil
that ruptures holes
in my soul
I'm tired of being human

I want my legacy to be love
to hold the whole world with
tenderness
to save those from pain
and injustice
to wrap everyone
in an embrace
of unity
and peace
shouldn't that be
all of our legacies?

Love in a m I s t
tender mist
drops fervently on bare
branches
coating air
and earth in rich
heaviness
everything gray
drenched in a shower
of fog
places to dance
disappearing
in the folding
of wet
her slender arms
embracing the warmth
shifting
through snowy white clouds
refusing to melt
her feet barely
touching
earth
this is how she celebrates
the coming of spring
on toes
balancing on the edges
of winters chill
rising

Valentine's
heart beats in resonance
to the song
your soul sings to mine
be it friendship
or otherwise
love
has no limits
or depths
be love
let love
in
wherever it
finds
you
to the song
your soul sings to mine
be it friendship
or otherwise
love
has no limits
or depths
be love
let love
in
wherever it
finds
you

smoke
filtered smoke rings
drifted in beautiful wisps about him
in the foggy morning
she wondered who
they were meant for
what his heart was longing
In exhaled messages
why she found that
so damn sexy

Wow, how did that happen ?
Here we are
2021
(I wish it was less crazy times .. so I could be there Celebrating all YOU are!)
which brings me back
to when we knew you were coming home for the first time
how dad leapt onto the landing
to announce excitedly we had a baby sister
you were so tiny
the baby
my last sibling
I wanted to hold you so badly
but needed the encouragement
that yes you were delicate, precious and beautiful, that red hair!
but no, I couldn't break you

listen to the silence
we have to hide behind ourselves
truth is a hard pill to swallow
most will definitely choke on it
spew some lame excuse
twisting a tornado of denial
sometimes she hates words
words that hold venom
in the most unexpected scenarios
that's someone's truth
doesn't have to be hers
her silence doesn't mean
she didn't hear it
she won't forget about it
silence is in fact
an answer

fresh fallen snow

Time is an illusion
time struck midnight
the veil was lifted
exposing a new day
to forgive and forget
to compose the song
always in your favor
to be grateful
moving forward
chosen career
possibilitarian
filling jars with thoughtful
wishes and wisdom
embracing the moments
looking back only if it brings joy
wish upon a star
not looking forward
wishing time away
no worries about weight
she's carried to many burdens
too far already
she let those weathered
straps fall
dust that blooms...

Shampoo
her cabinet
was filled with
hundreds of bottles
of shampoo
in search of the perfect
one
that did all the things
she needed
one that made her feel
pretty
