Navigating Through Darkness
The Earth above
Circling around Hell
Soulless on a dark river
Calling down the blue light
Returning home

Funny Good
For whatever reason I didn't sleep my norm last night. I've been kind of antsy lately, like a caged lion, wanting and needing some shit to jump off. I know a big part of what I need, but I don't want the hassle of what goes along with a sexual release. But something's got to give or my career may suffer. While working in an atmosphere where credit is given for being chipper, and a team player. This phase that I'm going through isn't helping. The crankiness and smiles turned upside down, signals to others not to approach.

Home again
when forest turn to crimson glow
with the dappled sunlight below
I gather up my gossamer gown
straighten up my flower crown
when gentle breeze begin to blow
caressing the hair on sweaty brow
the songs of birds a symphony
the rustles of leaves accompany
the puffy clouds in the sky
nature's talent in strokes
of its divine brushes apply
leaves of yellow and russets
When night descent dimming daylight
dark curtain with twinkling stars
spread across in cool twilight
walk I home, wandering grace
...

the boat
your skin
is impervious
to
the pain
from
the water,
the coldness
does not
pluck holes
in you,
the stones
do not
sink your
enthusiasm,
the currents
cannot
defy who
you are,
the waterfall
will not
keep you
from rising
to be
who you
want to
become.

Deep in the cloisters of terracotta
belles effloresce with beaus
among rows of wooden desks
where coeds have sat for a century
while breathing sighs of summer love.
Their poetry is the blue sky
under which gardens blossom
in sonnets of sunshine
heaped in bales of gold.
The young ladies chatter like Chickadees
with gentlemen in a college-lyceum
where Bach can’t compete
with green grass and blue skies.
So we follow the sun
onto the campus green
where lasses are peonies ...

Every Poet In You Quenches a Fire
It was quite a time
when with my mind you used to rhyme
and in the tune of my heart you sign.
That time was quite long
when I thought the words to me belong
and I could compose a million song.
It was such a feel!
to bare my soul to words with great zeal
put my Self in words, nothing to conceal.
A thrill beyond words!
when you believe you can capture worlds
and raise the sharpest of them as swords.
You stand on your own empire
as every poet in you quenches a fire
and for avid readers, a pleasure not...

The Sign In A Landing
And so you chose to land,
uncertain whether you'd be greeted
with softness or cruelty,
landing light
on the backside of my hand
I saw mandalas in your wings
and I spoke delicately to you
in thanks for the exaltation.

The day all the socks matched up (with recording)
I awoke gently, wrapped in sunbeams and your leisurely arms.
The coffee was strong and patient.
All the pieces fit smoothly.
The poems wrote themselves, and rock ‘n roll did the chores.
Words were enjoyed for soul-sharing and fun, as shame took a long vacation.
All the meetings were constructive and punctual.
Laughter flickered like warming flames between songs and friends and forest adventures.
Ocean thunder cracked my heart wide open.
All the flies left me alone in the garden.
As dew amplified the scent of cooling...

The Perfect Pet For The Little Ones
For some folks, puppy
dogs should be known
as the perfect pet for
the little ones who
would fall for them.

borrowed lights
Laid down in the comfort of darkness,
I hold on to a spark, to a flicker -
Not knowing -
That someone will see its light.
My days, his night,
And the sun-drenched place
Meets freezing cold and snow -
In this little space -
Somewhere -
On the internet.
And warmth settles with every letter signed -
And smiles inspired along with sighs.
And a heart lightens.
And a day brightens.
And in the soft rush of
The distance between here and there,
We meet -
We settle down in borrowed...

And smiles inspired along with sighs.

Intimacy
It's not always found
between the sheets;
it may not even be with
whom you'd expect
A tiny crack in the interior,
and a little glimpse
appears
And you are recognized
You could be on a work break;
fading into sleep
But you have that awareness
that you are cared for
And it is soothing
And you like who you are
just a little more.
