Write yourself a poem
Write yourself a poem
Shower it with kindness
Colour it with joyous and beautiful words
Make it sound perfect
And every sentence priceless
This is how you'll be remembered
Shout it from the roof tops
Drop it in every open mic
Make them stop and take notice
Let them hear it.
Make it sound titanic
Every second epic
Make yourself immortal
And dance on the shoulder of that stands above all
For this is the beauty within you
Nothing can ever take it from you
Those who hear, will never ignore ...

A world so fake
Police chase a stolen car and the sirens howl through the night
The drunken has beens argue amongst themselves looking for a fight
The marching powder has marched its troops deep into depression
Now the economy has yet again hit another recession
Sometimes we overthink Sometimes we don't think enough
I know life can be hard sometimes controlling one's emotions is tough
But if we can stay true in a world so fake I think we are half way there
Just surround yourself with love and happiness and people who genuinely care
The drunken has beens argue amongst themselves looking for a fight
The marching powder has marched its troops deep into depression
Now the economy has yet again hit another recession
Sometimes we overthink Sometimes we don't think enough
I know life can be hard sometimes controlling one's emotions is tough
But if we can stay true in a world so fake I think we are half way there
Just surround yourself with love and happiness and people who genuinely care

Altered reflections
The injury from your fall will distort and alter your reflections…
🌀your perceptions will be recklessly managed by the “before,” banishing prior imperfections
On the surface, your event will not be contemplated amongst the
other fragile entities…
🌀they too have damages and cracks that define their delicate identities
Once again loving yourself,
you will remain crucial and
beautifully resplendent…
🌀rising above the fall becoming once again independent
New beautiful patterns of...

Word Smithing in Beacon
Folks bustling on sidewalks
with a cornucopia of colors
tantalizing eyes from art
gallery to art gallery .
C and G chords strumming
up and down Main Street
in tune with honey coated
voices and Pete Seeger soul.
The smell of cooking
spices touching off
waves of desire from
nose to tongue to belly,
further energizing the air
of a cultural bonanza
from Mount Beacon
to the Hudson River.
Art spins a mystical web
from life’s loose threads
to catch dreams each day
with what we have to...

The Challenge
On this day of twenty-nine
someone who is feeling fine,
is making their challenge better
with a back-to-back double header.
We said that 30 days was too long
but we were determined to finish strong,
taking it one class at a time
and adding in a little rhyme
When all is said and done
we've had a little fun,
doing Yoga Every Damn Day
Just before CANADA DAY!
To my yogi peers
have a few beers and cheers,
on this day of twenty-nine
with someone who is feeling fine.

Oh Passion
As humans,
have we
always been
this dramatic?
Building a fire
for warmth
because it suits
the loving heart.
The evening sun reflects the autumn
like a burning embrace.
Creating an essence,
and then chaos.

1800 Miles to Yellowstone Park
As the trip kicked off of Louisiana’s boot
I stared out of the window in pursuit
Of eating a bowl of my favorite fruit
Mom and dad’s argument was moot
My mother always docile and sometimes mute
My father always stern and sometimes brute
They’ll make up before we get too far along the route
They’re arguments are usually minute
I just knew one thing was absolute
I’d enjoy that bowl of wedged grapefruit
I stared out of the window in pursuit
Of eating a bowl of my favorite fruit
Mom and dad’s argument was moot
My mother always docile and sometimes mute
My father always stern and sometimes brute
They’ll make up before we get too far along the route
They’re arguments are usually minute
I just knew one thing was absolute
I’d enjoy that bowl of wedged grapefruit

The Bouillon
Touched by the rainbow
sweet of the bouillon
nourished by the dreams
carried in my pocket
neath the butternut sky
sweet of the bouillon
nourished by the dreams
carried in my pocket
neath the butternut sky

"The Old Highway"
The shiny red paint of the hood gleams in the light of passing cars
The moon rises behind me as orange as an evening sky
With the touch of a pedal the engine breathes hard
Thick rubber treads spin and the car just flies
Fiery red and orange glows the ember of my cigarette
As grey-blue smoke plumes up into the air
Going ninety-five now and passing Joliet
King of the road, no one can compare
These gritty roads rumble me like a psalm
The sight of passing tail lights renders me calm
With that steering wheel in my palms
I'm utterly...
The moon rises behind me as orange as an evening sky
With the touch of a pedal the engine breathes hard
Thick rubber treads spin and the car just flies
Fiery red and orange glows the ember of my cigarette
As grey-blue smoke plumes up into the air
Going ninety-five now and passing Joliet
King of the road, no one can compare
These gritty roads rumble me like a psalm
The sight of passing tail lights renders me calm
With that steering wheel in my palms
I'm utterly...
