Summer Solstice
I sip my coffee slowly
As I’m watching the waves crash
Here on a picnic bench, out by the beach
With eggs and hash
Got up before my wife
I left her sleeping in our bed
I’m doing what I love
Walking the streets, clearing my head
I made it to my breakfast stop
Before they opened up
They quickly made my order
My name scribbled on a cup
I decided to not wake her
She is usually by my side
But not today, woke up afraid
All these questions cloud my mind
Did I reach my full potential?
Did I...

Old Age
I saw him staring at me
and I wondered what he saw.
Was it the days of long ago
or was he seeing what he saw.
Was he staring at my hair
turning a lovely shade of dull brown gray.
Or maybe it was my eyes of faded green
that weep from severe dry eye all damn day.
Or could it be that small spare tire
I proudly wear around my waist
never disappearing
just adding to my lovely rectangle shape.
Or possibly he's wondering
why I am looking back at him.
Are the same unappealing thoughts
running through his hairless head? ...

Voluntary captivity
I was your afternoon pleasure
When no one was around
You played the flute
Desires were paramount
Now we have matured
You still have me
But boldly you mount
To feel me inside
When no one was around
You played the flute
Desires were paramount
Now we have matured
You still have me
But boldly you mount
To feel me inside

Eternal Flame
Gentle you were in your presence
With a molten lava flowing in you
Soft caressing was your voice
Who knew what is hidden in you?
The passion of a roaring volcano
The thrust of a gorging waterfall
The sound of thousand temple bells
The crashing waves as they fall
First time we kissed in the Ferris wheel
Your lips were warm and tender
Then I realized your hands were there
Feeling me tall and slender
The night we first were...
With a molten lava flowing in you
Soft caressing was your voice
Who knew what is hidden in you?
The passion of a roaring volcano
The thrust of a gorging waterfall
The sound of thousand temple bells
The crashing waves as they fall
First time we kissed in the Ferris wheel

Then I realized your hands were there
Feeling me tall and slender

this time of the year
This time of the year again
She has gone shopping for gifts to give the young
she would not take me along, knows I would be grumpy
and sarcastic and impatient.
I sat on the plaza with a glass of Chianti, not because I like this wine but because it is the only Italian name I could think of,
A mist of people around me, a crescendo of voices
talking about about a topic they agreed upon, Noel
I unfold the paper “Stalemate in Gaza.”
It does not ring a bell for the consumers, in the thrall of the glittering street decoration, fake snow, and humbug ...

Safe place
After a life filled with disaster and turmoil
And things that would make anyone's blood boil.
After heartache, betrayal, and pain
All these years I'm starting to feel whole again.
I've built bonds based on trust and healing
I've broken bonds negative and demeaning.
I've laughed, cried, and lashed out in anger.
But never with intent to be a danger.
I'm mostly past all of that now.
And it's because of you I can look back and say "wow".
Many have helped before you came along.
But few have proved to be as steady and strong.

Slow Hands
Slow hands slow walks slow smiles .How slow time works . How you see everything it’s not just a flash in the pan . How you see the stars and the mediocrity just the same and take it . How you don’t get to carried away . Swept up into your own dreams and not face the reality . Love will one day be old and shuffle in bones that ache to hold their old time friend wife husband and walk side by side. And how they have learnt that slowing things down meant they never let the other feel behind of ahead as they waited on words spoken and replies a real communication with two . Who have now seen the...

Picking Up the Pieces
He tore my heart apart
no real love there had ever been
ripped it into a million little pieces
and scattered it to the wind.
Never having any feelings
not one teeny tiny shred of decency
he brought my world down
crashing to my knees.
But then you came along
from out of nowhere it would seem
picking up those pieces
and filling in my empty void.
Asking me to marry you
wanting me by your side
it’s been forty years together now
and it’s been a beautiful ride.

Everyday
Everyday that I am with you
It feels just like a date
Butterflies and empty sighs
What does my day await?
Will you hold me close?
As I linger there
Then I’ll catch my breath
As I stand and stare
Will you leave a note?
Perhaps a quote
Of the love that we both share
Will you kiss my head?
Perhaps you won’t
I’m not going anywhere
Will you look into my eyes today?
And see how deep you go
You’re always there
Nothing compares
You captivate my soul
Will you hold me as we...

Be better soon
As I lie here, staring out the window
memories of us are flowing through my mind,
remembering how it used to be and how it is now
holding back as a tears are just about to fall
Telling myself I'll be stronger tomorrow
We will be ok but I kno that's just a lie
if you could see and feel what I feel
things would be different
instead it's constant sorrow and loneliness
Now I feel like I should run before it's to late
But my feet are mentally frozen I cannot move
it feels as if it's something about to break
crying, and waiting to...

Unrequited Devotion
In the depths of his heart, he'd do all in his power,
For the one he adored, his love's guiding tower.
He offered his hand, proposed with great zeal,
Yet her heart belonged to another, a love she couldn't conceal.
He built her a home, a sanctuary to embrace,
But her affections lay elsewhere, a different love's embrace.
He provided and cared, giving all that he could,
Yet her heart remained distant, her love understood.
Years passed as they wed, their union endured,
Yet the flame of her heart for another still endured.
He tended to...

Unjust description
There exists an unending esplanade inside my mind and I very often manage to see you there. It lingers, as I do, devotedly, to the time where it breaks out of my mind and into reality. And of course, you are as alluring as ever, in a magical sundress with the sun kissing your soft pale skin. “I won” is what I hear inside my brain and these are the two words that pour out unwillingly. The rays gently touch your smile and allow it to shine even brighter as I gaze, overpowering the urge not to, in hopes of not going blind. Your cascading hair flows as the softest of gales breathe into it, it’s...
