The house wears tight
and small like an old shoe
on a growing child’s foot.
Wanderlust invades in sandals.
Palm tree dreams scent the air 
with coconut oil and jasmine.
The confinement ends with sleep.
The laces of reality snap.
Toes push forth into oceanic bliss
water rushing, embryonic fluid
balms the birth of...

When my enthusiasm is high and I feel joyful 
my mind is orange.
Wildly and outrageously colorful, 
bursting with happy to help sad out.

Sad is gray. 
She wants to hold me under her muck 
until I cannot breathe.

I begin shrieking for orange and hot pink and...

Clouds bursting open

to let spring rain fall on crops

waiting for sun now.

I try to still my heart
for fear it will thunder
past the gates of mortal life
and burst into paradise…

I slow my ragged breath
as I tremble in time
my body in tune
to this rhythmic rhyme
immersed in the sublime

Eyelids flutter….
struggling to open, to see…
Yet I shut them tight
knowing I...

A cute little French girl named Francine
Had young garçons bursting their seams
Agitated is the word
As their hormones did surge
Were heard letting out tiny muffled screams

lips purse,
face frowns, mouth sucks,

Upon rockets they'd been launched into the night sky
Each of them more beautiful than the ones before
Exploding in bright array, resounding on high
Despite the scent of acrid smoke, crowds shouted, "More!"

Each of them more beautiful than the ones before
Bursting into life like newly blossomed flowers
Despite...

Bursting balloons spew cancer confetti
Leaving one sick and frail
Consuming cells; there’s fever, one’s sweaty
One’s skin is dry and pale

As mossy tentacles destroy their host
While creating beauty of form
Cancer consumes human tissue for growth
Now battle the oncoming storm!

The evil aggressor invades one’s cells
Traveling an erratic path
The...

Deluded memories fading in your mind 
A dream lost within your eyes 
You search for something you cannot find 
Slowly getting tired of all the pain inside 
Waiting for reason to surface 
The real meaning of purpose for your existence in life, 
In the realms...

dirt has its dust
and light its rays…
truth may gain rust
but will always be raised,

only once we pass this way—thus
let us leave footprints
that the children will not stray,

oh, we must still work for the day
for which we were sent…
following those footed prints
the ancestors left for us…

we lie on our backs
in the snow and count the flakes
falling from the sky
some landing on our eyelids
melt and roll off as tear drops...

The Days Come, Warmer

Time has ammassed the many aspects of me,
Which I then collect, design and tatt 
Into delicate lace edgings for my aging, and which I then
Lay out into rings around  the bases of tree trunks
To become splendor again, anew across the landscape
