Sea
I saiiled out to sea with just my boat and me
I took some time to reflect
The coastal breeze sent me in a direction it felt best
As I floated on this sea of brine
I realised what ide lost and what was still mine
The waved would crash and collide
Then all would go calm in their demise
So as the tide came down I headed for shore
And funnily I felt stronger than before
I took some time to reflect
The coastal breeze sent me in a direction it felt best
As I floated on this sea of brine
I realised what ide lost and what was still mine
The waved would crash and collide
Then all would go calm in their demise
So as the tide came down I headed for shore
And funnily I felt stronger than before

Solstice
The arc of a solstice moon
is at its zenith overhead,
I race across dark emerald,
zoysia shimmering with zinc.
I leap from the ziggurat
To the spiraling tower steps,
And lunge upward, two by two
Winded, clutching blood zinnias.
Offerings of zwieback and
zucchini in my zibeline
A poor and devout zealot
Is all I am and what I bring,
When I reach the top at last
as a zeppelin cloud casts over
When the moment is at hand.

Winded, clutching blood zinnias.

You Got Broken Skin, I Got Broken Bones
The secret is to get yourself a
really good S&P index fund.”
To really be good at
It you have to stop
Drinking alcohol
and Coffee
you’ll understand
once you quit for
a month or so
they keep saying
I’m going to end
Up alone like
That’s a bad
Thing
Life is messy and
Unnecessary
Trying to make
It to prove
Something
To who?
I got these people
I know who
Really think they’re
Going to be...

That Cold Summer Day
When I was younger,
With blonde hair, hanging lazily
Down my back in soft curls,
At that age of young innocence.
The summers, usually so light and airy
Usually full of strong rays of sunshine
With children laughing and smiling.
But that one summer
Felt so empty, so dark and heavy.
The idea of death was so unknown,
But now it hung above our heads
Changing everything.
After that day I was never able to touch
His old, hard, and leathery skin again

But now it hung above our heads

The Light of Her Moon
Who would prefer the sunlight over the moonlight?” I often wondered to myself.
In quiet moments I pondered this.
The dark was much more appealing than the light.
The moon has powers the sun lacked!/what fools those sun worshipers were!
I sat naked in my rotunda that lies to the left of my garden.
The warmth of the single sliver of moon I saw I felt touch me.
And touch me it did. In ways that no mortal can.
Was there not magic to the night? Mystical essences at play for those who could see.

Summer in the Rain
I can hear the pitter-patter of rain
Dropping on my windowsill;
The beaming car lights that passed us by
As we stood under the same umbrella.
I knew the rainy days were at hand
But you make all the days in my life
Feel like a warm
Summer's day.
Dropping on my windowsill;
The beaming car lights that passed us by
As we stood under the same umbrella.
I knew the rainy days were at hand
But you make all the days in my life
Feel like a warm
Summer's day.

winter comming
Why did they invent the winter
Hits form cold are like a splinter,
Aching ailments everywhere
Virus spreading in the air,
Some with flu some with fever
Using pills for a reliever,
Was it better till last week
When the heat was so much meek,
Some would say we’re better off
And the summer they would scoff,
Bu they would have to stay indoor
Instead of walking by some shore,
Its ok we may be different
And this reason is sufficient,
But when weighing all the facts
Winter shows a bit of cracks.

Different Seasons
When Autumn's bedding of leaves
is pulled up snug to Summer's chin
it's time you let your breath Spring out
and let your death Winter in
is pulled up snug to Summer's chin
it's time you let your breath Spring out
and let your death Winter in

Summer's Gone
Did I ever tell you the story of how Summer and I broke up?
Well, here it is then...
So, when I woke up that cloudy morning, Summer's bags were packed.
I asked, "Where you going Summer?"
"I'm leaving you. I'm taking all my things too,
The Sun,
The Sunsets,
The Heat,
The long days,
All of it."
"I see." I replied. "But why?"
"I'm done here, I'm done with you!"
"But, I need you."
"Our time together has come to an end, I hope someday you will understand.
You've changed - I saw you...

Daylight
We took the edge off
one last time
dropping further over
just so we could see
flowers highlighted her tangled up hair
scents of summer surrounded the air
naked, we, for a moment were set free
not giving but one bit of care
daisies danced around in the sunlight
we rolled and romanced under the trees
the highs, euphoric, withholding inhibition
we, one inside, with the breeze
love permeated through the dampness
music mellowed out in peace
righteousness, exploded in tune
daylight savoured,
it too...
