Sunshine
Just because it’s raining outside
Doesn’t mean that the sun
Cannot shine.
Make your own sunshine.
Doesn’t mean that the sun
Cannot shine.
Make your own sunshine.

fresh rhymes
a rhymed, mirrored octet
§
tho
at times
you must cry
l i k e the r i v e r,
let not your heart faint.
tho t h e upward journey
stretches, rugged, a l l the way,
cease not till you reach the summit,
heaven's high gate your only limit.
tho you are the vulture's prey,
life's S u p r e m e Attorney
will your hopes repaint,
s o that h i t h e r
from each sigh
fresh rhymes

WITHIN THE EYE
WITHIN THE EYE
The skateboard slid from side to side
as I stood on the canter of the see-saw
I knew that I would eventually fall off of the side
It was inevitable, yet pointless to hide
I struggled in Zen to remain
within the peaceful center of the hurricane.
Fierce wind swarmed around me
a pieced apart cursed world had found me
and there I still was within the world
playing an eternal balancing act
A child's game.
An old man's game.
A woman's game.
The game of life.
I wondered and wandered within
the center...
The skateboard slid from side to side
as I stood on the canter of the see-saw
I knew that I would eventually fall off of the side
It was inevitable, yet pointless to hide
I struggled in Zen to remain
within the peaceful center of the hurricane.
Fierce wind swarmed around me
a pieced apart cursed world had found me
and there I still was within the world
playing an eternal balancing act
A child's game.
An old man's game.
A woman's game.
The game of life.
I wondered and wandered within

Harvey's Wallybanger
Harvey's Wallybanger
An open source
Allows
The course
To flow
Its water
Wheel,
And when
It's Harvey's
Wallybanger,
Things
For sure
Get real.

TENDER PLUMBS (collaboration between BLUEVELVET AND ARCHIE23)
Tender plumbs and peaches
ripe and overflowing
escape the lips

Send her numbing, ,reaches
in light forever growing
nature's nectar

nocturnal

Inhale-Exhale
Mortal wound
Without the unseen routine
Keeping indivisible
Laughing at the reaper.
Breathing game
Life at play
Just another simple way
Escaping deaths gates.

Endurance
He keeps getting his heart torn apart
and screams when his dreams are shattered
over and over again,
But he will continue
to pursue his goal
regardless of
distance or
time or
hope
and screams when his dreams are shattered
over and over again,
But he will continue

Even the Caged Girl Dances
The trees don't shed their leaves here
They still wear their sage green peplum
Though it's so last season
They don't even look like trees
More like hula dancers on the breeze
But this isn't Hawaii
This is quarantine
No matter how hard
I beat against the bars
I can't go out
Into the killing crowd
Under the killing stars
Into the killing night
But even the caged girl dances
Out of mind
Out of sight
Twirling on the wood ...
They still wear their sage green peplum
Though it's so last season
They don't even look like trees
More like hula dancers on the breeze
But this isn't Hawaii
This is quarantine
No matter how hard
I beat against the bars
I can't go out
Into the killing crowd
Under the killing stars
Into the killing night
But even the caged girl dances
Out of mind
Out of sight
Twirling on the wood ...

Myriad of scars
Long ago, before she was ever hunted by the beast,
She had only drank from the cool river of freedom.
One fateful day it happened; she was caught
unaware. Her body, suddenly foreign, to move was a struggle.
The harsh truth, lesions, white, many, & irreparable.
Multiple sclerosis. Many losses, her heart was shattered in sorrow.
Her mind, now pregnant, birthed new sorrow.
She felt herself collapsing beneath the weight of the beast.
She no longer knew who she was. She was broken, irreparable.
Drowning in a tumultuous salty sea,...
She had only drank from the cool river of freedom.

Bridezilla
Boarding a long white train of thought
Beyond the veil of pale lace dreams
Picking reverie at the seams
Wedding-dressed to the nines and tens
And having the guts for boudoir garters
Just a queen and not a martyr
Walking down the aisle
With a Cheschire cat smile
Stepping on a Skytree of hurt
And squashing a whole Shinjuku of fears.
Beyond the veil of pale lace dreams
Picking reverie at the seams
Wedding-dressed to the nines and tens
And having the guts for boudoir garters
Just a queen and not a martyr
Walking down the aisle
With a Cheschire cat smile
Stepping on a Skytree of hurt
And squashing a whole Shinjuku of fears.

The Challenge
On this day of twenty-nine
someone who is feeling fine,
is making their challenge better
with a back-to-back double header.
We said that 30 days was too long
but we were determined to finish strong,
taking it one class at a time
and adding in a little rhyme
When all is said and done
we've had a little fun,
doing Yoga Every Damn Day
Just before CANADA DAY!
To my yogi peers
have a few beers and cheers,
on this day of twenty-nine
with someone who is feeling fine.
