Poet Introduction
Curiosity killed the cat, but for a while I was a suspect- Steven Wright
Peeking through Gods fingers
"softly now" She whispers
basking in afterglow firelight
the ease of embers glow
jealous of the licking
remembering such heights
while dancing rituals
play out amongst starlit skies
to state of this religions
rites and incantation, just
as the play, a monk and nun
finally, a loan from their home
cashed in to climb heavens
seeing each other Gods
as they cry thankfulness
rebirthed, born again pagan
amok they become, zealots
in and of each other
held in hand while thumps
no longer put upon bible
are heard as...

Gazing upon the blanket
Her and i, at the fire we sat
gazing at the blanket, held
soft, attune to the musings
deft fingers touched, kissing
these soft petals belonging
as one constant blossom
what stemmed from the budding
union caressed, years
aching breath, upon breeze
for with one another comes
time cherished hugging
denied for so long
when we did, burst
the glass of inhibitions
there is no wrong
taking right from deny
to us side by side
staking our claim
that our intent
upon campgrounds, was
securely set
and thankfully...

"I love livin' in the city"
I rolled downtown craggy backstreet
just to have a look around
admiring your grey old school
buildings, this along with
red brick leavings, was harsh
ancient magic remembrance
so it tis, concrete jungle
not pearled inlay but pure gray
as the thief priest of always
stands ready to hand out freedom
smiling toothsome grins, I chuckle
as Satanism blares from a bygone era
soon I was heading west
of all the soft places to fall
this wasn't it, but memories

Those who fall further we call
Tread lightly now
for You hold memories
those held sacred
promises in eternity
times that were
times are always
constant is whom
we held in hand
those whom are dead
Kept forever promised
shake not foundation
walls, for edged on lusts
lasting curtain calls
lonely comes with spells
so does forever
cast encircled was
Your walk, as priest
Lineage Kin
Keep wanderlust away
from within, keep fires
fed outside a clan
long in tooth security
You had, now shamed with
oil, upon Your back
slime that...

A Naiad waits
Upon the mossed banks
sat the Naiad awaiting
sun beams tickled as
Faerie flittered, singing
harmonious cries
Wash us down now
watery sprite, we
who skip in flight
come to see you
our wings in shimmer
your thoughts well pleased
sitting by Your glittery stream
life giving, waters babble
brook forests Glen
this,our homeland
nourishing hands
keeping us protected
from those O so
dry arid sands
The Naiad...

Cumberland call
Today,
I thought of our train ride
You in Your parka, I in my smile
rings around a mountain
smoke into sky, wafting
mini trips square upon the tongue
like days when we mat under the sun
an all glass car, dining among hillsides
tops of the trees, tunnels sneaking
kisses as diners peer sight see
do You recall conductors call
held the ticket we smiled in thrall
hugging close each other's security
blanket, held life chugging along
You said...
I love You,...

one thin dime in time
And a life it was said
taken upon a day
scared of the night
it shriveled inside
left only with it's thoughts
keeping curtains closed
embracing succour mind
slept, slumped upon the bench
awaiting a daylight come
roam, roam solemn rome
Grundy Monday, till every Tuesday
of which spark laden prey
held out in kids room
pushing into night school
save your prayer, for gone well be
push on but conveyance, sled, slip
willow in breeze
as cloud within shroud
rained buckets of years
A life it was took
but within a small...

Let us be as
How are You
So sweet
flavored
as amazing
misted
on
My spring day tongue
I arrive to tell You
today
is upon us
I'm home
anxious
is Your man
to know deep
thoughts
I stretch out
Love...
let us be as
ONE
hidden
shading
each other
from flights
to a midday sun
deep heat in deed
our lips dipped in X
poured upon slick backs
washing cascading tending
this bountiful Garden of we
Given
we praise
legs enfolded
scents of oneness...

Life’s Dances (A Grace and Soul Collab.)
Love it was said, Hesiod bound
Fourth to existence A Primordial God...
Lover to Chaos, seeds our existence
To be borne of Love, to be OF Love
these hands, that touch, carve and hold
moulders of tomorrow, shaping Dreams
Yet viciousness and hate abounds
Cries of succour, of surcease
In the fields of contentions, of war
Pillage, murder, and plunder the people
Stamp on tread denigrate the women
Seed them the screaming furrows
New borne babe, safety's wings
...

Ease of Eve.
Calm the night comes
She covers me so, delicate
soft, within quilted throw
do we take what it knows
call it knowledge, form a prose
these that tickle dance fancy
well...
They the night call owned
I breathe deeply serene
several swathed settled secrets
Bring the ease and eaves to sentries
while Wilde walks to heaven
with child's eyes, singing
never truer, has smiles adorned
the blank, making faceless
a thing of remain, gifts

Cooking with friends
I cracked open
windows
adding much
needed depth
to my kitchen
somewhere
off in the distance
I heard tinkling
as a beer cap skipped
torn off
latent with savored desire
I let the Merlot breathe...
this fine air, wafting
as silken threads wrap
perfect weaves of cozy
blanketing the land
three pounds of jumbo prawn
lay prepped, waiting
upon a counter, cultured

whats now over my head
He walked out of the big top, finally waving goodbye, "hello blue skies" he thought. disgruntled burning dreams sky rocket into pockets of savored things, he calls culls and breathes with the soft savage land, gleaming pieces on stiffer strings this marionette man dances slower, sifting sighs through lights that no longer blind but sparkle dazzled rays down as he gazes from atop his cliff edge, feeling the rush of jump as the edge just skims along far as he can see...tis many a wondrous views to be had...
Up here near, the clouds, the air, is thinner yes? So thoughts barrel...
