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~

snow fell silently
leaving its chilly disposition
clinging wherever
it chooses
white clouds draped
dressing everything
in new attire
color me Winter

tech-no
ah technology
you tricky little bastard
not that you can be blamed
entirely by my misfortune
my eagerness to fill a blank page
when my mind starts
whirring
to suddenly get interrupted
that save button
too far from my reach
I left you to your
own devices
and lost
dammit
you tricky little bastard
not that you can be blamed

own devices

the shed
Nature taking over space
where someone once worked building something
maybe children played inside
creating a world of their own
a small ship
that could take you anywhere
it's windows, wings
now draped softly with ivy and moss
it has a new story to tell
carrying the weight of Nature
on its tilted back
it's only weakness

This World
i don't feel
like writing about all
the injustices
that are happening
all around the world
scare tactics with too
much truth
for weary hearts
i choose to look
more closely
at Nature's beauty
her stories are
deliberately calming
to watch lily's
rippling open like
earthen stars
walking on cool
soft moss that blooms
with so much delicateness
every blade of grass
so green and sweet
in morning dew
watching the rising sun
arc...

Noah
welcome to the world
beautiful boy
we have awaited your birth
with so much joy
we count your fingers
count your toes
kiss your cheeks
rub your nose
gazing into your beautiful face
witnessing everything new
best part is we get to do
that with you
seeing the world again
through your eyes
full of wonder, beauty
mystery and surprise
so excited for all your firsts
anticipation may make our
hearts burst ...

oh the stories they tell
Some people will procure a narrative for who they think you are. . You listen with abject curiosity.. They may have the fortitude to get some things correct but are seriously lacking in knowledge of you.. this is not your story. This is their perception of it, of you. Let them have it. Changing their minds is too much work. That is a fruitless job. Bittersweet. I may smile, I may even laugh at their unknowing. That's all the time I will allow someone who thinks they know anything about me ..

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
with the mysterious ...

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
