Shimmering Sea
I watch it all around me
this deep shimmering sea
how these waves roll
with a silent wisdom to extol
Out to where ocean meets sky
a thousand sparkling diamonds try
to make their singular point
make this moment then anoint
When ancient mariners learned
as a silent sun burned
high above the waves
leading to forgotten enclaves
Islands dotting the blue map
as I seek to fill in the gap
between here and now
between sword and plow
Learning a little from each
as I again strive to reach ...

Drifting Ice
Wouldn’t it be nice
to live a life of drifting ice
carried along by the tide
just coming along for the ride
With no particular place to go
nothing left to prove or show
just accepting it all
hearing Nature and her call
Leaving behind human things
such as the chase for brass rings
more things to have or own
more sins for me to atone
As I follow the Gulf Stream
living in a waking dream
with no losing or winning
with no end nor beginning
While I feel each feeling felt ...
to live a life of drifting ice
carried along by the tide
just coming along for the ride
With no particular place to go
nothing left to prove or show
just accepting it all
hearing Nature and her call
Leaving behind human things
such as the chase for brass rings
more things to have or own
more sins for me to atone
As I follow the Gulf Stream
living in a waking dream
with no losing or winning
with no end nor beginning
While I feel each feeling felt ...

Unending Line
I would love to find the time
to write an infinity of rhyme
line after line
according to my own design
.Wwith no end in sight
on a writer’s block night
show these words all I mean
on a blank page bleached clean
As I feel my blood and ink blending
within each and every line unending
to write an infinity of rhyme
line after line
according to my own design
.Wwith no end in sight
on a writer’s block night
show these words all I mean
on a blank page bleached clean
As I feel my blood and ink blending
within each and every line unending

Nightfall’s Ink
I love the end of each day
when twilight has its way
ushers in the beginning of dark
so that I may then strike my spark
Watching these colors swirl
as my thoughts now curl
back upon themselves
upon this one who still delves
In search of all I may find
revel in this true peace of mind
only Nature can truly give
within this rambling life I live
Knowing how the cold darkness
with all its bold starkness
serves to again set the mood
nestled in this alpine wood
So I resolve once again
to...

Unplumbed
So much truth still lies
beneath a thin skin
littered with lame alibis
blessing every single sin
With little left to say
since no one will hear
any lines in this play
with the denouement clear
No need to even think
about any real meaning
hidden within this invisible ink
worthy of any gleaning
Once the message is text
then finally then sent
leaving me left vexed
by all this wasted energy spent
As far as anyone is concerned
the deed has been done
nothing new to be learned ...
beneath a thin skin
littered with lame alibis
blessing every single sin
With little left to say
since no one will hear
any lines in this play
with the denouement clear
No need to even think
about any real meaning
hidden within this invisible ink
worthy of any gleaning
Once the message is text
then finally then sent
leaving me left vexed
by all this wasted energy spent
As far as anyone is concerned

Turquoise Sheen
I want to live a life pristine
in this smooth turquoise sheen
under these rolling waves above
feel all of Nature and her deep love
Swim with the wise parrot fish
fulfilling my every single wish
here in this tropical paradise
sweetened by vanilla spice
As I leave behind this sorrow
blend a better today and tomorrow
revel in this warm balming water
a newly liberated Scorpio daughter
Rising up like the lunar tide
embrace this destiny undenied
my bare skin now aglow
radiant in this peace I know
...

Predawn
It is the time to arise
time to create
while I again await
the break of dawn
No longer a mere pawn
now ruling the night
as I pursue the write
put pen to blank paper
Warmed by the lit taper
its golden glow
while it assists the flow
spilling my precious ink
Striving to make the link
between heart and mind
all in the hope to find
some lasting peace
Unfold every crease
on this ever weary soul
fill in this bottomless hole
while I now fawn before the dawn
time to create
while I again await
the break of dawn
No longer a mere pawn
now ruling the night
as I pursue the write
put pen to blank paper
Warmed by the lit taper
its golden glow
while it assists the flow
spilling my precious ink
Striving to make the link
between heart and mind
all in the hope to find
some lasting peace
Unfold every crease
on this ever weary soul
fill in this bottomless hole
while I now fawn before the dawn

Unwritten
So much ink still to write
in the inkwell of the night
mystic as a cryptic sea
thick as a flood of blood
All of these salient tears
garnered over the years
meant to blend in the end
but what is there left to say
In some new way
rewrite all that is unwritten
in the inkwell of the night
mystic as a cryptic sea
thick as a flood of blood
All of these salient tears
garnered over the years
meant to blend in the end
but what is there left to say
In some new way
rewrite all that is unwritten

Inkwell of the Night
The night is vast and dark
always leaves its lasting mark
upon the things I write
upon these words I pen
Words I would never say
aloud in the light of day
gather here together
collecting again in shadow
Whispered truths to longing ears
blending together hopes and fears
as I refill my well
as I redip my thirsted quill
Looming large above the paper
lit only by this single taper
I am my own author
I am my own poet
While I trace each lonely line
in a pure quest for the...

Poems in the Ice
Written over a thousand years
briny as a lifetime of tears
I read these poems in the ice
rhymes of loss and sacrifice
Sculpted by wind, snow and rain
each is an elegy to death and pain
a reminder of life and its fragility
penned with such a deft agility
For the ice is slow to melt
to ever share any feeling felt
instead keeping it all inside
whether from fear or just pride
So, I recite every single line
no matter how coarse or fine
giving each its own voice
in a lifetime of consequential choice
...

GRAPEVINE COCKTAIL OF THE HEART
INGREDIENTS:
Fruits: Labor, actions, and words
Fruit punch
Smoothies
cocktail mixes: Godly Purpose & Devilish temptation syrup
Sour limes
Encircling the rooftop of my mouth
lies the natural-enticing sweet flavors of the “fruits”
of my labor, actions, and even exchanged words.
Yet, the bitter-spiked “fruit-punch smoothies,”
found in Wisdom's Mystery Recipe
Funneled and strained by God’s divine revelation
of channeled learned experience and observation,
ooze all the way down my belly
reaching the very core...

Sailing into the Sun
Hope is always a moving target
elusive…
yet still conducive
to a most graceful way to age
While sailing to the east
chasing a rising sun
ending before it has begun
to turn the tattered page
As I now embrace the day
taking precious time
to listen to Her rhyme
lines forever sage
Sailing into the sun
with a most grateful heart
the perfect place to start
to at long last engage
elusive…
yet still conducive
to a most graceful way to age
While sailing to the east
chasing a rising sun
ending before it has begun
to turn the tattered page
As I now embrace the day
taking precious time
to listen to Her rhyme
lines forever sage
Sailing into the sun
with a most grateful heart
the perfect place to start
to at long last engage
