WHEN I'M WITH YOU
SINGULAR
As the world spins
on unpredictable axes;
the blind pretend to see;
and truth has no
anchor that holds;
THANKFULLY
when I'm with you
I can't hear the war drums
on imminent or distant hills;
all I hear is the beating
of my heart anchored
in the security of your love.
WHEN
I'm with you I feel
honored, blessed, and complete;
I have no desire to see
if the grass is greener on
the other side of the fence.
WHEN
I'm with you I know I
am with a real, honest,
truthful, and ...

Choice
slip away, close the door
to open up, there is more
as you sit, or you lie
you can rise, you can fly
you can glide, you can soar
you can be evermore
who you are when you hide
in that place deep inside...
from above what's below
matters not as you go
all is lost when you're found
far away from the ground
far away in the midst
of a place where you're kissed
by the space all around
in this place where you're found...
you can leave, or return
if you think you must learn
something else...

No Claims
I make no claims
to know the depths
of your darkness
inside that pure soul.
How you have moved
me with rhymes and your
laughter
What about tears, the ones
I'm sure you've shed
They have not been for naught
We are listening, we are
Those of us who
choose to
Don't ever go away
The respect for you is
Unfathomable
to know the depths
of your darkness
inside that pure soul.
How you have moved
me with rhymes and your
laughter
What about tears, the ones
I'm sure you've shed
They have not been for naught
We are listening, we are
Those of us who
choose to
Don't ever go away
The respect for you is
Unfathomable

No country for weak Hymen
The stars have fallen down
Like water drops from a shaken tree
They are no where to be found
But I will keep on looking
Willingly.
Like water drops from a shaken tree
They are no where to be found
But I will keep on looking

FATHER'S DAY
My father is gone but
not forgotten. I see him
with I look in the mirror;
my words are his vocabulary
my taste and whims, too.
I remember my father as:
F-riend and helper
A-lways supportive
T-eaching me truths
H-elper 24-7-365
E-ncouraging me to go for my dreams
R-eliable and disciplined
He never claimed to be perfect
but in my eyes he was. And as
the years have passed, I realize
more and more how amazing
my father was.
OH
how I miss him
but thankfully I get
to see him when I look...
not forgotten. I see him

my words are his vocabulary

Nature's Law
I want to write a story
About you, them and us
This time a real story
A time to break the hush
And all of us trying
To save each others' lives
Holding to a vision
Eternal love divine
And every single lifeform
Upon this earth of ours
To break through the silence
Reaffirm our vows-
Of loving this whole planet
The place where we come from
I'll be there to love and share
All that stands before the Sun
To waste all that we're given
A crime to one and all

JUST BE HONEST
REALITY
I've heard since my
boyhood days,
"That honesty is
always the best policy"
Even though it may
sting, hurt, or embarrass;
It is a great truth"
SO
if there is something
you don't like about
our relationship,
just be honest. We
will, I hope, work it out.
If there are ways we
share our passion you
don't like or enjoy,
just be honest.
If there is a fantasy
you wish to explore,
just be honest.
If you dislike a place,
food, or entertainment,
just be honest.

Numbered, Slumbered, Summery Days
1. One sunny day Sarah and I were adventuring about
2. together on our bikes, like always, and found a
3. threepence; made 1968, the year we were born. We,
4. fortunate, like it was a sign, that the past was behind, we
5. survived through some hardships, and on the eve of our
6. sixteenth birthdays we began to enjoy July. We spoke of
7. misevents; times we felt silly, fought, sometimes lied. We
8. ate pastries from neighboring bakeries after our swim. At
9. nine at night we gazed at the sky....

EACH KISS
NEWNESS
How many times
have we shared
kisses during the
connection of our hearts,
souls, and spirits?
Kisses that have
ignited our awareness,
melted our resistance,
taken us to fulfilled
dreams and fantasies.
Kisses that have been
short, brief, deep and
breath-taking with
hungry mouths saying yes.
BUT
we both agree
that even in the rapture
of all the beautiful and
never forgotten kisses
EACH KISS
isn't as special as
our first kiss.

each kiss is still our ...

a tomato video
A tomato Video
Conversation with an omelette you can, if it is filled with tomatoes.
Apparently, trees talk to flowers a tomato soaks up this information
gives it to us when we eat one. After going on about tomatoes
the lecturer cuts a tomato in half and we hear a scream
the speaker declares he has two tomatoes plus a bloody finger.
Many videos’ maker's dreams, is to stand alone on a stage and talk about
things the makes no sense to others other than themselves.
They thank, the audience who are blissfully absent, and blend
into the dark...

Ode to Wollstonecraft
The sands of time were stained
Blue from your pen and pain
All we beneficiaries gained
Wings with each stroke of your plume
I know a mother by no other name
Than the one I traced on your grave
Wollstonecraft, your legacy remains
And continues each day to bloom
May your brilliance ever reign
Like the romance and vindication in your veins
And our progress redeem your pain
Mother Mary, taken too soon
Blue from your pen and pain
All we beneficiaries gained
Wings with each stroke of your plume
I know a mother by no other name
Than the one I traced on your grave
Wollstonecraft, your legacy remains
And continues each day to bloom
May your brilliance ever reign
Like the romance and vindication in your veins
And our progress redeem your pain
Mother Mary, taken too soon
