In The Mouth of Desire
The summer heat was turned up to blasting with a huge yellow sun looking down. Our sweat had sweat. If only there was a breeze to pass over us. In the mouth of desire sits July. A young couple is about to be wed. The groom all decked out in his black suit. The bride...

My Blooming Rose
Alongside me in rain and shine
she walks her life on her own terms,
setting the course on the pathway she likes to pave.
Probing nameless people uncalled, she may descry
break the fence of her protected privacy and pry,
ask incisive questions to slice her persona.
She doesn’t ever care to respond.
In our passionate journey together for so many years
I’ve...

Private CelebrationWhirlwind
Of summer embers
Stirs up
From the un-mowed grass
Swept by the brooms of July 4th fireworks
Booming distant in the furled city
Up high
To the tree tops
The fire flies rise
To the hunger of bats that swoop as spoons
Banging the pan of moon
More than enough for all
The stars
Lightning bugs
Moonbeams and bean wings
Consciousness everywhere
Our heads tilt
On their cracked bodies
Statues
Still standing
For a...

Dance with me
Life might have taken away my ability to dance
But it didn't take out my rhythm
That's why even on my chair
I'm all groovy and fully turned up
I might not hold your hand and spin you around
But I can buy you lovely dresses
So that as you pirouette
It rolls around you like the cupcake you are
I might...

Feeling Helpless
My wife has become an insomniac,
during ebon hours she doesn’t sleep.
Like an owl she’s become nocturnal,
I wish again she was counting sheep.
But dementia does this to a person,
God put us together, she’s in my keep.
All of my days start off the same,
and most days, when alone, I weep.

Walk Through My GateA broken gate in the cemetery holds many memories. By Poet
Walk through my gate at night,
only with a full moon very bright.
The hanging "Gossamer" from the trees is an eerie sight,
I do not know if I like this invite.
This "Ghostly" night may bring some fright,
but in the end we will be alright.
Look over there at...

Donning rubber gloves, the wife does washing of clothes and dishesDonning rubber gloves, the wife does washing of clothes and dishes...
(plus cutlery, pots pans, et cetera) in the kitchenette sink.
She started what would immediately become
a first and last generation tradition
(the spouse as washer woman
and scullery maid)
soon after we moved here
eight years ago come July 1st, 2025.
I trumpet her pioneer spirit
to apply elbow grease

He's Still My Man(A country song to my hubby…read this with a Loretta Lynn voice)
Verse one:
Well, my man is the kind who likes to unwind
with a BudLight and western shows.
He watches them over and over and over
till I think my head’ll explode!
A ballcap is all that he will wear on his head,
except when it rains...

Love Can Be Grand - POTD
In spring we come out to see life,
out from our long cold winter's nap.
Bears are so loving not wildlife.
Love can be grand.
I am your big fun bear asap,
you are my fury playful wife,
I love to see you in gift-wrap.
Tonight we need some fun nightlife,
eating fish not from a flytrap,
using my big claws not a knife,
Love...

After the March"After the March"
Almost eight years, the flags have flown,
A soldier's wife, yet so alone.
Eight years of heartache, silent cries,
Of wiping tears and telling lies
Like "I'm okay," when I was breaking,
Like "We’re fine," though barely making.
Stress clung tight like second skin,
While I held the outside in.
Weight I carried on my soul,
Filling both the mom and dad...

Open My Heart Now DarlingYou ask if I love you, darling, you ask if I could;
It strikes to the core, my darling, my words haven't stood.
Know that I love you, darling, know that I should;
But my words cannot carry, darling, look under the hood.
Open my heart now, darling, see what's inside;
Yes, open my heart, my darling, it flows to...
