My Heart It Never Lies

my heart    it never lies 
with the morning light 
I pause      and close my eyes 
 
dawn is a lovely prize 
still I unpack each night 
my heart    it never lies 
 
she presses on my thighs 
soft and wrapped in white 
I pause      and close my eyes 
 
dawn’s warmth is but disguise 
I feel her cruel bite 
my heart    it never lies 
 
she slowly makes her rise 
then showers golden bright 
I pause      and close my eyes 
 
staring in her mirror 
I reach for something sharp 
my heart    it never lies 
I pause      and close my eyes

Day 1

golden sun
white hand
green apple
red lips
black clouds

Moment

three quick cardinals 
freshly fallen snow
paralyzed roses

Pink Butterfly

Oh pink butterfly where have you been
did you see the mighty river where the wild flowers sing
have you touched your wings on the honey dew
did you lay in the sun til I saw you

The Beach

crisscross clouds
leave unseen tracks

warm sands 
ruffle velvet shoals

ocean sprays
release salty tears

fine pebbles 
squeeze wrinkled soles

sapphire waves
grind sparkling glass

supple limbs
explore hazy shores

To the Bride

he is a small sampling of nuptial bliss
grampa and gramma we thank you for this
your prodigy abound both near and far
they’ve spread like the seeds of a hollywood star

and here in the state where the big reds rule
we find your family all fit in one room
there long and there short and they’re so in between
I’m certain tonight there will be more than one scene

so if by chance you should hear the groom cry
don’t be startled, and don’t turn away
It’s a family trait that goes back quite far
you see my cousin’s a Grisetti and a sensitive guy


For Joann Grisetti's contest My Cousin's Wedding

This Is Me

this is me this is all
head down and open eyed
see us rise hear us fall

trapped in this earthly wall
terrified creatures hide
this is me this is all

each day brings a new brawl
fueled by jehovah's pride
see us rise hear us fall

for lucifer’s downfall
left wickedness denied 
this is me this is all

with harmony unshawled
we’ll embrace genocide
see us rise hear us fall

now hope rides newborn wings
scorched by lies, father sings
this is me this is all
see us rise hear us fall
