Stillness of Waters
Stillness of the waters
through rustling memories
and the leaves symphony
beneath the frost
awakening blankets
of sleepy time moss
in nature's serenity
through rustling memories
through rustling memories
and the leaves symphony
beneath the frost
awakening blankets
of sleepy time moss
in nature's serenity

Seasonal Expedition
Our expedition started in Fall, days get short, nights are cold, then the frost freezes all.
Do you remember Winter my belly warmed up them toes.
Sniffling and sneezing as the boogers flow from your nose.
For me please be patient as Winter breaks into spring. blanket of snow soon will melt, you and I listen to all the songs they will sing.
We chirp our way into summer, warm, fuzzy sun has its lips on our skin. Let's not cheap out on the lotion or we might boil from within.

Mauwin' Down Maui
Rollin' through the gears
with my friend's friend, Holly.
Panigale haulin' tears.
Is she stolen? Well, prolly.
No helmet. No fears.
Missionary on molly.
Wally side-swipin' mirrors,
shearin' off a Bugatti.
Better down another beer;
Cali Sol, not sorry.
Goin' off the fuckin' rails
on a red Ducati.
Sun melanin our rears,
set back and do a stoppie.
Marley mellowin' my ears;
Holly wailin' melancholy.
Playin' slalom, duck, and cheers!
Sparkin' rings around the trolley. ...

Spring is near
Winter suddenly hides away
waterfalls once frozen
flowing downward into the bay
Lonely sidewalks decay, after before
spring is arriving soon
the end of the bridge lies an open door
Broken dreams picked up where they last fell
the emotional wasteland sleeps again
my love through words, encouraged to tell
waterfalls once frozen
flowing downward into the bay
Lonely sidewalks decay, after before
spring is arriving soon
the end of the bridge lies an open door
Broken dreams picked up where they last fell
the emotional wasteland sleeps again
my love through words, encouraged to tell

Crying During Crazy on You
There are a bunch of songs by Heart
I don't particularly like
How Can I Get You Alone
sounds like a bank commercial
The Dog and the Butterfly
is dopey and boring
Alone
is too repetitive for me
But the Heart songs I like...
Well, I really heart those Heart songs
I'm mad for Magic Man,
and crazy for Crazy on You
Our seats are super steep
in the basketball arena
Our backs are literally against the wall
in the very last row.
Looking down
makes me quietly queasy.
And it's a work night ...

My Wish to the Young, Said the Pirate to his Mate
Aye,
life does ever dream indeed of finding
Booty lost at sea,
especially the life and likes
my friend,
the likes of you and me.
I’ll wager, no chance
has the luck of you nor I
of claiming slice of that dear pie!
But heavens,
we’ll try just the same ‘til death takes its grip,
leather in hand
cracking life with a whip.
As flesh turns to dust, bone turns to stone,
the Devil will chase us, we’ll rattle his throne.
Waves will then catch us and whitecaps will follow.
Our souls...

Sun Shower
I was feeling quite discombobulated until a rain shower hit the hot Australian earth and the air filled with the intoxicating smell of petrichor.
I do love this sunburnt country a land of sweeping plains.

Tipping The Tables On Her Past
Numbness wallows, a welcome gift
Once a vibrant soul, a hapless shift
Love forsaken, she couldn’t get a grip
She left her mind at the door and took a decades-long trip
Chaos ensued, she sunk further beneath
Her heart unraveled and fell off her sleeve
Her shrieks turned to wails as she fell on her knees
Gray skies darkened as her life became void of peace
Blow after blow bloodied her resolve to stay sane
Until the day she declared never again!
Underneath her armor it’s the truth that remains
Five years later she’s no longer in...

Dry logs redden and snap;
Dry logs redden and snap;
The fire is soon impressive.
The wolf moon takes better shape
As night begins to settle in.
I watch the conflagration spike;
A spark flies off, then some more
Like the universe enticed
Them to become one of the stars.
The fire is soon impressive.
The wolf moon takes better shape
As night begins to settle in.
I watch the conflagration spike;
A spark flies off, then some more
