The next tomorrow morning,I will start my life again,Leave behind the heathen templates,The fool’s excess I’ve lived in. But can you wait a little longer?I need time to pack some things,A small bag of appurtenances,All my dunnage bound with string. I should ask how I will know you,When we meet tomorrow morning,Wait, I will notContinue reading “Nobody”

I pray you have a good weekend,The kind full of peace and joy,Not the one’s so busy,Not found in your hobby decoy. Restaurants won’t make it happen,Nor hit movies played in the dark,Not money to buy your dreams,There is better to give it spark. The good weekend of which I speak,Is as simple as aContinue reading “Weekend Love”

Ever been to a land of mysteryWhere you feel the cold of snowy mountainsOr taste the grit of hot, blowing sandWith your arms taped to your chairAs you gaze at the sky with melancholy staresAt flying images of incongruity,And a matrix of curious things? Where rhymes are stored in drawersAnd cabinets are marked, one beat,TwoContinue reading “A Trip to Poetry”

I start out lucid, energized,In my shiny silver helmet,And flame-resistant leather suit,Bright eyes and a cocky smile Staring at the screen, fingers vibrating,Ready to roar like a racecar,Oh my God, oh my God, let loose!I’m burning rubber on these keys., This goes on, round and round and round,Writing, thinking, revising, writing more,Then, I begin toContinue reading “Brain Shot”

A whitespace hangs above me,Like a glistening sheet of snow,A masterpiece of creation,Meaning nothing and everything! The science of it is but distraction,A whimsy for my entertainment,Drawing snickers of self-aggrandizement,For I am only a piece in a game. On any day the whitespace can change,As a new player joins the game,A player of lies andContinue reading “A Careless Game”

The crashing pop of livestock whips,Start the journey home,Through winds that roar resistance,As the wheels of wagons moan. I awake in a noisy station,To shrill whistles of trains,And the clattering bustle of people,In bellows of white-hot steam. My dream turns to windows,Seeing views of clouds below,As the flight nears my journey’s end,In a somewhere I’veContinue reading “A Dream Journey”

The mountain pass looms ahead,Pocked with snow covered rocks,I pause before beginning my descent,To listen to the mountain talk. I hear woeful moans of lost spirits,Of bandits, warriors, and death,A blue cold penetrates the shadows,With a wind of devil’s breath. My gaze turns to a waterfall,Gushing with the mountain’s tears,It crashes into the river below,It’sContinue reading “Traveler”

I miss my friend, my special friend,Your gentle voice when life grows hard,Your unspoken look of understanding,Your encouraging nod that all will be well,Your smile that said what’s broken can be fixed. I miss my friend, my special friend,Your warm and forgiving hands on mine,The bump of your hip under the blanket,Your face in theContinue reading “My Friend”

The night was dark, scant of light,With just one star to see,Frequently, a cloud it met,No more a star to be. The wind pushed hard the weakened bush,Its limbs bent back in fear,Winter came, blew harder still,From house peaks it did leer. No rabbits traveled from or since,A fox not far behind,The occasional slush butContinue reading “Winter”

A dress of pink and petticoats,On a girl with powdered skin,She’s crowned with hair of gold,Spins round and round again. Twinkling sounds of music,Inscriptions, ribbons, and pearls,Inscribed with words of memories,That remind me of my girls. So, who’s this little girl spinning?This precious part of my life,Mirror images from over the years,My granddaughters, daughters, andContinue reading “Music Box Ballet”
