Setting Sun
Setting Sun
Oh setting sun
I found you
I found you again
After looking for a sacred day
To wish and dream of
All that was and
In its forever beauty
Still
I waited
Caught by thieves
In blinded dark
Searching
And calling for you
Setting sun
Oh setting sun
Here I am
Upon your blanket
All that I ever could do
And in wanting for you
To be still
And breath a sigh
Today and tomorrow are
Yours and mine
Setting Sun
Oh...
Oh setting sun
I found you
I found you again
After looking for a sacred day
To wish and dream of
All that was and
In its forever beauty
Still
I waited
Caught by thieves
In blinded dark
Searching
And calling for you
Setting sun
Oh setting sun
Here I am
Upon your blanket
All that I ever could do
And in wanting for you
To be still
And breath a sigh
Today and tomorrow are
Yours and mine
Setting Sun
Oh...

Searching...
I’ve searched high and low, I’ve searched the surface and the depths, I’ve even searched the places children go to hide. The quest is excruciating and the pain is exponential in intensity. Where have I missed is the question for the ages but no response is offered. The quest is for certainty. The only place left to look is behind. Aaah yes, there it is. Certainty only exists in yesterday.

A Boy
Running around
Scaring monsters none
of us will see
A four foot tall dinosaur-
Robot-ninja-cowboy
Is getting ready for bed
Suddenly he is swept
into the air by
The biggest of them all
You still haven't
Brushed your teeth
She says
He's flying now
Well out of my sight
He laughs with glee
Landing down on
Clouds of linen
Under a glowing sky
Of plastic stars
Reflected in
His best friends eyes
Sitting alone
Down the hall ...
Scaring monsters none

He laughs with glee
Landing down on
Clouds of linen

Of plastic stars
Reflected in

peace is you
Peace is found
In your magical memories
And whispered touch
Caught at high speed
My peace
It's found by your
Blinding light
Showing me the way
To our ShangriLa
The peace
I've searched
In false and feverish
Silhouette states
Lost and languishing
Until today
Proud you make me feel
For being
Me
Me you make me feel
Being and
Bold, boisterous and
Ever more you and I
In your magical memories
And whispered touch
Caught at high speed
My peace
It's found by your
Blinding light
Showing me the way
To our ShangriLa
The peace
I've searched
In false and feverish
Silhouette states
Lost and languishing
Until today
Proud you make me feel
For being
Me
Me you make me feel
Being and
Bold, boisterous and
Ever more you and I

The Melodic Goddess
She emits frequencies of melodies as soothing as a symphony
Whenever she departs it breaks his heart & makes him lonely
If he could only pluck her strings his dreams would come true
For he desires to ignite her sensual fires all night through
He doesn't want to do anything without her by his side
Life's a long journey & she could be his ride or die
The sky's the limit with her in it so he's ready to take flight
He'll be her lover who'll comfort & protect her using his might
On sight he would fight any guy who crossed the...

Defining you

Defining you
I never met a woman like you… it's as if the Creator while creating a beauty strength and love of a mother ran out of something and pulled something unique from himself and said you should be the Apex of mothers and placed Grand in front of your title mother… lady j u you must be made of a substance called Always cuz I swear by the grace of the most high you have been there always… no matter the weather no matter the time day situation with me being at fault, you I would find lovingly at my side… your actions designed the definition of strength, you...

As So Often Happens
As so often happens day turns to night,
Life glides from one to other without seam,
We simply sense an absence of the light;
Reality attracts a bit more dream.
Our lives comprise many such transitions,
States disappear without a cogent end,
Action emanates from indecision,
Base-metal strangers transmute into friends.
One syllable of the words I’ve spoken,
Unknowing, may have made a sea-change start,
We cannot point a finger at the moment
Or separate a fragment from the heart.
Our lives are like waves upon an ocean, ...

We simply sense an absence of the light;

A SIGHT FROM HEAVEN
A SIGHT FROM HEAVEN
Where is that great sight that my eyes seek ?
It is hidden in a place quite near,
but the flesh short_sighted eyes can't see
as the soul is what can see that sight.
When you see it, your heart will soon melt
and will live with it forgetting land
as the soul has spheres no flesh can reach.
It combines with souls of endless life.
Great is that sight that you can't leave it.
You can see a world with mystic eyes.
They can join the past with what will come
in a view that can give you delight.

Holidays
A jingle for Nudist Holidays Inc
On our beaches completely bare,
Free your body of all care
Discard your clothes, do not scare.
Let the air bathe your body,
Nudity is not naughty;
Perfectly natural and never bawdy.
From your cares you'll be detached,
Uninhibited free and relaxed,
Whether you're hairy or waxed.
A week with us and you'll agree
Body shape is not the key
Without clothes you are care-free
On our beaches completely bare,
Free your body of all care
Discard your clothes, do not scare.
Let the air bathe your body,
Nudity is not naughty;
Perfectly natural and never bawdy.
From your cares you'll be detached,
Uninhibited free and relaxed,
Whether you're hairy or waxed.
A week with us and you'll agree
Body shape is not the key
Without clothes you are care-free

A Poem for Terrible Poets
Delusional...
...just maybe
but with my page-worm
eye
I surely spot those
terrible poets
Maybe I should come clean...
I think terrible poets
are the very best
so full of potential!
they think they
have room to grow!
If you are a terrible poet,
or just a beginner
It makes no difference
...in fact
(Usually those two things
are one and the same...)
Maybe I just think you're terrible
But that's like chubby-me getting
winded at the gym ...

If you believe
If you believe death sets you free
That's not morbid...not to me…
This is your philosophy
of life...and living…
death and forgiving
Should it not be the same
as mine...will not make it less divine…
