It's So Eclectic
Close your eyes and slowly inhale the touch of the wind
It speaks of old Negro tales the ear refuses to lend
Sacred whispers of the Middle passage as ships on troubled waters braved
Christened by the dark depth as weary souls wade
Captives of past generations residing in cramped living quarters on a journey to a new frontier
Only to fall prey to savagery, more brutal than killing the buffalo and hunting the deer
Shh… can you hear the echoes give us freedom as it bemoans ...

Letters from my Aunt #6
Sixteen years before I'm posted to Deutschland
another operator on a morse key,
transcribed a message with his guitar playing hands
and that was sent to Ike then, on to history...
Johnny Cash on Stalin's death set some folk free
and meant the simmering cold war stayed, just cold
and evesdropping became that key
but, I guess that story's been done, and told?
That was our dream to get the world spanned
by some huge news back in nineteen sixty-nine and we, ...

Galloping In The Wind
Dance unto my heart with such sweet tender words
Take my mind, my body, covet the wandering spirit of my soul,
The galloping of your hooves in the distance of time I strongly prefer
Over the rainbow and through the woods, always heard
Soar my Chi higher than the calling of the Sunrise's tweeting birds
Entwined lovers as hearts float through Heaven’s pearly gates
Let thy will of us blend, ordained by destiny’s fate
No gravity of time ever eradicates the balance of love’s equate
Destiny of wicks, when, infused, the Moth...

For My Love Of Water
When I think of water and its many gifts of surprise
Such a marvelous given blessing in disguise
Spiritual showers from the majestic skies
Hydration to quench, it’s the bodies’ ultimate high
Liquid, steam, or gasses
A treasured commodity enjoyed by all masses
Pure in its element
Irrigation for field crop developments
When I think of water I think of unfiltered knowledge to gain
Umbrellas to combat, during life’s stinging rains
A thirst to know where my seeds were once sown
Crowns of glory...

Rocking Chair
Waking up early this morning
Is it a quarter after two?
The diesel engine ran all night
and now I wake up to THIS view
I throw open my sleeper drapes
in a place I had to back in
It's in the middle of the night
I'd better go check my kingpin
With a flashlight and tire thumper
I check my pigtail connection
While most people are home in bed
I'll do a quick pre-trip inspection
We'll check out brake pads and leaf springs
and try the old Lincoln's head trick
Make sure the bumper sits level
and not above a large oil...

Pirate Religion
Captain Halliday strode across the chamber to where his dogsbody, Perkins, was crouched over a desk with an eyeglass screwed in and his raggedy tonsure framing a bent head so that he looked like a miserly London clerk. ‘Well, what do we have thus far?’ said Halliday. Perkins read him the letter. It detailed the journey at that point in time, how well the Captain thought that the leaving ceremonies had gone (not well; he was a man of intense and stringent habits, almost religiously ascetic, and disliked any bent towards emotion, scolding the cabin boys for their womanly tears and trepidations)...

Ocean Reef
Ocean Reef had mangroves
swampy low trees in the Florida Keys
Ocean Reef had horseflies the size of baby shoes
a lagoon with porpoises named Candy and Cesar
my friend David and I swam with
but then we had to get out
once a big blue bubble floated past me
Portuguese man o' war
Fortunate childhood
Fortunate near miss
Ocean Reef had golf carts
for navigating the sizeable property
kids could drive them
once they turned 12
I preferred to be a daydreamy passenger

Sea Breeze Cafe
In a tourist town, at the sea breeze cafe, I popped in for a bacon bap and a nice hot latte.
A short dumpy gremlin, whose name was Jolene, was being rude to the customers, tho she was quite pretty.
But only on the face, her greasy hair was tied back in a bun, I'm sure she just like being a b*tch and did it all for fun.
She should work at Karen's cafe, then she would be good at her job, instead of flobbing into people's cups of tea and acting like a yob.
With a screw face on and her arms folded up, she chucked the menu to the customers...

List #9: Travel Destinations
1. Dubai. I love wealth and the intensity of extremes. I want to ride the world's fastest roller coaster, go snow skiing inside on a 100 degree day, watch Dubai's fountains put the Bellagio's to shame, and, I don't know, maybe ride a camel. Nah. I'll pass on that.
2. Tromso, Norway. Northern most college town in the world. Art. Culture. Polar bears in the streets (not too close, please). Northern lights. Magical, stunning cold.
3. Miami, FL. My homeland. I haven't been to Miami in 30 years. I've been to Boca Raton, Orlando, Jacksonville and Ft. Lauderdale, but for some...

Immortal Love 2
I was the only being existing on earth with immortal love.
For millennia, I sought true love that could not die,
But this kind of love did not exist on the planet.
The love of the daughters of earth could not last forever.
They were mortals and I was an immortal being.
I knew that the love I had been searching for would come one day.
I awaited the arrival of a compatible being with love like mine.
How I wanted to get out of this dying world.
Then at last, I saw an advanced starship descending slowly.
An alien...
