Dreamland

     rose-covered blankets
        tuck infants in
     honey-tongued lyrics
        fall on soft skin

     eyelids so smooth
        shut ever-so-lightly

Crawfish Dinner

We're gonna dance all night on the Bayou
We're gonna play all day in the shade
We're gonna eat and drink me oh my oh
Just as soon as everyone gets paid

We're gonna go to church on Sunday morning 
We're gonna say our prayers every night 
We're gonna rise for work after yawning 
Then come back home and

Blue Is The Warmest Color

We met in a coffee shop 
off Fifth Avenue
In Jersey. 

You were so magnetic; 
your eyes shone so brightly.

A couple of years passed by; 
and our paths crossed
once more
through the entanglement 
of interwoven destiny.

We both ended up 
in that coffee shop again.

I have to ask:

Did the blue in 
your hair fade naturally,
or did you lose

moonlight whispers

Golden sunsets fade to blue,
Stars appear, and night's anew.
The world is hushed, in quiet sleep,
Dreams unfold, in secrets deep.
Moonlight whispers, a gentle tone,
In the darkness, hearts are known.

Peace of mind

I need not build a mansion
to find my peace of mind.
I need no fleet of luxury cars
for calm to dwell inside.

All I need is a whisper —
a gentle breeze
blown beneath a clear, untroubled sky,
under a tree that leans above a quiet, streaming brook
casting a cool, soft shade.

The bright sunlight
will wrap me
in a tranquil blanket,
within a

I’d like to share this as a challenge to any who would like to try, as it can be read as a RHYME in five ways: #1 - left-to-right, top-to-bottom; #2 - right-to-left, bottom-to-top; #3 - left-to-right, bottom-to-top; #4 - alternating right-to-left, then left-to-right from top-down; #5 - alternating the same way from bottom-up.

Happy Hurt Day

You’re gentle, judgemental,
A freak in sheep’s disguise
Yet in some ways you’re burdened by self sacrifice,
You’re obsessive, compulsive,
Afraid to let me go
You’re afraid of what’s left of you,
If you have not my hand to hold

You know I love you,
But it’s time to move on
Take a fall, and crash out, if I’m wrong
Be scared, I’ll hold you,
If

LOCUST'S LULLABY

LOCUST'S LULLABY
just something light I wrote last night while sitting on our back porch.  The sound of the locusts in the background was soothing....

twilight hush descends
soothing serenade begins
locust's lullaby

their tiny wings beat
rhythmic symphony quite sweet
one played just for you

Lullaby of 2125

Once there lived a wizard who practiced thumbcraft,
who conjured with swipes and spells from his draft.
He began just at two with a clever old trick,
skipping ads on YouTube with a finger click.

By five he could summon a friend with a ping,
And charm them to stay with a joke or a zing.
At ten, he was crowned

Lullaby of the Wolf

Day is done and night now comes;
flowers fade and birds sleep.
Hear the wolf, he sings a love song;
through the darkness deep.
Hear the shadows weave their lullaby;
weave a soft melody.
As you dream, they sing their gentle song;
sing for you and for me.

As the day fades, and night begins;
let your dreams arise.
Watch as the starlight dances along
through

The softness we never got

I'm sorry

I know you may have never been told that
But you deserve it
And so if nobody is gonna tell you that
I will
You deserve it

In a world that has told us to be strong
And has held us to impossibly high standards 
I wanted you to know that you matter
And you deserved better
From the world
From your own
I'm

Poisoned sheep

They claimed this world, Its not
what it seems to be.
So it started to unravel,
bursting at the seams.
So I lied in a wake.
Unable to slip away.

So I'm begging you now
go back to sleep.
counting your stars 
while they poison 
your sheep.

 Once the wave is set
it's doomed to repeat.
Thats where they linger
hidden within your dreams.
Just waiting for

good night sweetheart

be an angel

hush
my baby
close your eyes

hush
my darling
go to sleep

Here we are lost in our creation,
lost to all creation.

Take my hand and take a look around me.
just take a look around, see!

Can you see the dead?  
The dead are all around me.

The dead are all that I see.
So move, Don't stop.

You have to keep moving,
you just have to keep moving.

The dead, they walk.

Water sings a lilting lullaby

Hear Ye!
the babbles of brook flowing on by.
the fizzy hiss of foam floating on tide.
the howls of a waterfall crying into sky.
the raging roar of waves crashing on beach.
the pitter-patter raps of raindrops on window panes.
the splish and swish of paddles straddling lake.
the tinkle taps of gentle rain showers on rooves.
the guttural gurgle of water
