POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
'Neath the Weeping Willow Trees
i met her
in a waking dream
as i walked beside
the sylvar stream
whose chattering laughter
shifted suddenly
into a sylvar pool
of enchanted silence
a mirrored glaze
in muted
misty
dawning rays
her cascading mane
a crimson flare
sea-green eyes
alluring stare
my heart stopped
to see her there
reposed
'pon a verdant
garden lee
beside
the misting sylvar mere ...

Peeping Toms and Thumbalinas
what gives
i wonder
when fellow poets blunder
into the memes
you have crafted
of lightning
rain
and thunder

Colors Fading, Hear Them Sigh...
autumn leaves
upon the ground
colors fade
from gold to brown
cold wind brushing
across my cheek
whispers softly
in my ear
that the years
are quickly
passing by
'neath the starlit
winter skies
colors fading
hear them sigh
dont understand
where all my youth
was spent
how all
that I once loved
is now
nothing more
than shifting sand
upon these
desert shores
everlasting
immortal years
of distant youth
have...

My 9/11 - Epilogue
our
"great leaders"
all gathered
in "unity"
united they were
standing there
oh so tall
standing there
like little children
holding hands
dressed up
all in rows
just a group
of little children
singing
silly songs
"united we stand"
they told the world
as they stood
standing there
hand in hand
"united we stand"
was such a simple
powerful message
but 'twas just
a hollow call
as moments later
their jabbing fingers
stabbing sharply ...

MY 9/11 - Falling Down, Like Rain...
well -
it did not take long for the people of our nation
to revert to their old ways
so it seems
after all of this
perhaps we are all still the same...

Crimson Rivers
exposed emotions
blister 'neath
your numbing gaze
of indifference
that roars
in thunderous waves
to crash upon
the battered shores
of my heart
exposed emotions
drivin' me insane
their hungry voices
screamin' in my head
behold a night wind
leads me
to a place
where dangerous visions
softly tread
take my heart
take my soul
take anything you want
don't take my sons
take my heart
take my soul
take my life if you must
just don't take my sons

In Silence, Radiant
stormwinds howl
in fury rage
lash dark clouds
in thunder running
lightning laced
they storm across
her cool
impassive face
she answers
in silence
serene
immortal grace
her face
softly knowing
her smile
sometimes showing
in silence
radiant
in fury rage
lash dark clouds
in thunder running
lightning laced
they storm across
her cool
impassive face
she answers
in silence
serene
immortal grace
her face
softly knowing
her smile
sometimes showing
in silence
radiant
