Frosty Autumn Leaves
In our minds your memory burns bright
Gone too soon, laid to rest, eternally
The autumn leaves and frost
Decorate your absence
Memories of happiness
Memories of love
Long, winding roads led you home
Led us on different paths
Tangled like branches
Lost in the sound of silence
Your memory lives on in the autumn leaves and frost
Silence
You live on
Gone too soon, laid to rest, eternally
The autumn leaves and frost
Decorate your absence
Memories of happiness
Memories of love
Long, winding roads led you home
Led us on different paths
Tangled like branches
Lost in the sound of silence
Your memory lives on in the autumn leaves and frost
Silence
You live on

AUTUMN/FALL COMES - NUDIST'S LAMENT
The leaves are falling off the bushes,
There'll be none left to hide blushes
As we walk, hands on middle crossed,
To salvage the dignity lost.
When it gets icy and slipping,
It's too cold for skinny dipping.
Frost at extremities gets nipping,
Ambles are turned to skinny skipping.
Our summer tans will fade away,
Leaving our skins a fleshy grey
Unless we've cash to fly away
Where tropic suns still heat the day.
There'll be none left to hide blushes
As we walk, hands on middle crossed,
To salvage the dignity lost.
When it gets icy and slipping,
It's too cold for skinny dipping.
Frost at extremities gets nipping,
Ambles are turned to skinny skipping.
Our summer tans will fade away,
Leaving our skins a fleshy grey
Unless we've cash to fly away
Where tropic suns still heat the day.

Curtain Call
Shakespeare was right 'all the world is a stage, and all the men and women merely players'.
It's no wonder then that as I age I'm no longer the star of the show.Still on the stage but only just. Consigned to the background as an act of kindness.Audiences once held spellbound by my skill and vigour, now lean back in their seats with jaws wide open.
As I forget my lines and the makeup artists can no longer conceal the sagging blotchy skin, the thinning hair or the droopy eyes.They gasp as one as I move Biden like across the stage.Fearful I might stumble,fall and shatter bones...

Autumn's Embrace
Because we are poets
We feel so much
Fall's sudden brisk temperature
Releasing us from summer's hold
Sudden rummaging through draws
Finding sweaters long tucked away
Sleep has been better
Morning's crisp and dog walking faster
I covered you up
Blanket askew
You lay exposed to my hungry eyes
Morning desire to have and to hold....
We feel so much

You lay exposed to my hungry eyes
Morning desire to have and to hold....

Empty Trees
The setting sun made the final clinging leaves
shine like dangling red jewels.
The scarlet shimmer infused my imagination
with creative fuel
Trees are not like people,
they don't feel empty.
Why do we grieve for that
which cannot be retrieved?
Barren branches know.
It's so much easier just to let go.
Creation always finds a way to grow.
shine like dangling red jewels.
The scarlet shimmer infused my imagination
with creative fuel
Trees are not like people,
they don't feel empty.
Why do we grieve for that
which cannot be retrieved?
Barren branches know.
It's so much easier just to let go.
Creation always finds a way to grow.

Winter's Prose
In autumn's glow, the world begins to rest
And amber leaves descend in weathered flight
The summer's heat now finds a gentler quest
As chilly winds chase the lingering light
The trees, donning their robes of ember gold
Stand sentinel against the waning sun
Their branches reach with tales of seasons old
While shadows stretch as days are nearly done
The air is crisp, a breath of frost and pine
As harvests yield their bounty to the earth
The twilight hours in muted hues align
And nightfall's calm descends with...
And amber leaves descend in weathered flight
The summer's heat now finds a gentler quest
As chilly winds chase the lingering light
The trees, donning their robes of ember gold
Stand sentinel against the waning sun
Their branches reach with tales of seasons old
While shadows stretch as days are nearly done
The air is crisp, a breath of frost and pine
As harvests yield their bounty to the earth
The twilight hours in muted hues align
And nightfall's calm descends with...

beautifully dying days
pale pearl grey of haze
shifting across a slowly lightening sky
revealing what is concealed...briefly
before settling restlessly
upon reluctant dawn
mind slips into the shadows
studying symbology
as untethered foliage drifts
dying bits of memory
brilliant hues of last gasp
before decay takes its place
becoming nutrients
for rebirth
& upcoming tomorrows
fertilizing hopes
how like reality it seems
when summer days fade
time slips away
bursting with desperate exuberance ...
shifting across a slowly lightening sky
revealing what is concealed...briefly
before settling restlessly
upon reluctant dawn
mind slips into the shadows
studying symbology
as untethered foliage drifts
dying bits of memory
brilliant hues of last gasp
before decay takes its place
becoming nutrients
for rebirth
& upcoming tomorrows
fertilizing hopes
how like reality it seems
when summer days fade
time slips away
bursting with desperate exuberance ...

High Noon Noel
Clean the gutters
hang the lights
watch the flutters
in jaybird flights
squirrels and Yule nuts
by the frosty yard
wiggle wee furry butts
in stashing them so hard
and then the little tits
come and go so fast
it's hard to scan the plumage flits...
wherever they've amassed.

for those who were not born a butterfly
he tripped
and fell and fell and fell and fell
unpredictable
like blood on the gums
on the precipice
like sea birds
falling falling falling falling falling
like letter openers
like samurai swords
and fall and fall and fall and fall
as if they had already occupied
the place of the dead
like a falling body
no vertigo
no free falls
no films that melt on the screen
he tripped over himself...
and fell and fell and fell and fell
unpredictable
like blood on the gums
on the precipice
like sea birds
falling falling falling falling falling
like letter openers
like samurai swords
and fall and fall and fall and fall
as if they had already occupied
the place of the dead
like a falling body
no vertigo
no free falls
no films that melt on the screen

drifting (my favorite season)
how these
seasons
drifting,
each tied
but break
apart,
i glimpse
asking
towards
what
remains
unfolding,
i'm halted
when each
season's
beauty
complicates
choosing.

Legos In Translation (a collaboration with adagio)
Oceans of green through the window of eyes
And the blueprints of nature’s serenity
Through the hourglass of autumn’s compose
In fields of Elysian verdant wildflowers
And nature’s Pandora Jack-in-the-Box of
Folded memories and Legos in translation
*****
So lofty are mountains turned tender
When soothed by the warm hands of the sun
Against the harsh white winter a defender
Nature’s bounty would ever humankind stun
To every single season weather and surrender
Then bare your treasure into verses second to none..
And the blueprints of nature’s serenity
Through the hourglass of autumn’s compose
In fields of Elysian verdant wildflowers
And nature’s Pandora Jack-in-the-Box of
Folded memories and Legos in translation
*****
So lofty are mountains turned tender
When soothed by the warm hands of the sun
Against the harsh white winter a defender
Nature’s bounty would ever humankind stun
To every single season weather and surrender
Then bare your treasure into verses second to none..

Oceans in The Sky
Nature's symphony in serenity's free verse
and acoustics of the woods' heartbeats
listening as the wings of harps take flight
and the stars of lanterns twinkle aglow
embracing tides of the oceans in the sky
a canvas of dreams where passions collide
whispering a breeze of falling leaves
a season's grace soft and meek
and acoustics of the woods' heartbeats
listening as the wings of harps take flight
and the stars of lanterns twinkle aglow
embracing tides of the oceans in the sky
a canvas of dreams where passions collide
whispering a breeze of falling leaves
a season's grace soft and meek
