Pointers Of Life
...Success is sweet
When you feel the hardest.
The farther you invest
The better the harvest.
The longer you preach
The exciting you teach.
Before it will rain today
You already have a ...

Norman, Don't Be Bates
...Halloween is very near,
Stealing is what brought me here,
Where I'm going I can't say,
I just had to get away.
Driving in the pouring rain,
Those that do, must be insane,
Looking for a hideaw...

No Beating the Clock
...I was an ambitious fine watchmaker, looking forward to sunshine tomorrows,
Like the remote edge of a fuchsia horizon, where gather racy, blue swallows.
I worked on clocks of all styles and sizes,...

Dawn
...All nebulous dreams prospecting,
A hideaway in cloud atolls,
A nightly ocean, warmth awaiting,
In quibbling flow, to dawn's aperture
In spectra falling, spectral play crumbled,
Sojourner stars: ...

Solitude
...All I say and all I do
looses nothing but
chaos upon my life
So I go to seek out
a place of solitude
A hideaway from all
of my pain and suffering
A place where maybe the
brokenness will...

Quiescent
...In a world over burdened with heartache and despair
there are moments when I find life too difficult to bear.
I long for a sanctuary; a quiet place of tranquil repose.
A cabin in the m...

In the Forest of My Dreams
...Where conifers gaily waltz tempos evergreen
Unspoiled by human deeds, pure, and pristine,
Eagles soar there, spanning freedom wings
And trees gently whisper to rhythmic bird trills
Echoing grey ...

Beatnik Snap
...Pale white against the ghostly fog
Smoke curled for lack of oxygen
Black rim glasses hide, head bows
Conceal eyes of cool cat daddy-o
In dark, goatee, groomed and moody
Beret tilted silhouette...

Courage On Empty
...Not one invitation
No need to ask for an explanation
One more night of chagrin
Heart mimics violin
Should by now have thick skin
But no, still stung by intimidation
It’s all some harsh mistak...

Dreaming Jamaica
...It's been one of those days
I need a holiday
Calgon take me away
To some tropical place
With palm trees swaying
To some reggae playing
I'm dreaming Jamaica
Thinking I'll make
A fast getaw...

Navigating the Landscape
...Lush, mossy greens cling to rock mountains
looming at shore edges like guarding towers
blotting out the sun beyond them.
The boat I ride navigate around this landscape
not really looking for a...

Snow Day
...The most awesome words a kid can hear
better than pizza on Friday night
delivered right to your house
better than cuddling with kittens
mmm, maybe not
better than a bubble machine in the tub

An Untrustworthy Guy
...Some guys many skills have mastered,
I blush when I try to tell little lies
and shaking I reveal my fakeness;
quite a few girls have slapped me hard.
Cindy went on vacation heading South,

Inside My Head---Forever Young
...I close my eyes....and I'm back again..
in a hideaway, where we would play
A sheltered cove on summer days
A giant oak, that wore our names
carved long ago by childish hands.
A place...

Mini-Vacation
...Short but meaningful
Let it be a hideaway
Full with fresh and serene thoughts
Away from the ever evolving changes!
Brief, I know though memorable
A stint stay swayed in my heart
From ling...
