Premium Member The Next Isle Over
There I was.

Inside a crowded Toys R Us
On a mid-Winter’s evening

Abrasively loud 5 year olds
And depressed fathers
Ready to throw their “angelic” brethren
Into life-size Nerf basketball hoop
(Because it was on Clearance)
To embrace sanity’s madness

I was simply here to search for a porcelain doll
For my darling 8...

Mirrors Age
As morn braces against the emptiness of night
And cock crows echo in waves of yellow light

Fallen mixed colors brush along the coarseness’ of stone
As fall would have them, these leaves of gold

Age as time moving swiftly through coveted hope
Laid far along twisted roads, yearning there...

The rock that to the climber reaches out with
jagged arms
And to the sore foot of a traveler turns a tough
rough back
Holds within its harshness
The promise of swift marches
To they who aspire towards its summit.
And to each of them it someday proves
That in the roughness of...

Stuck In a Rut
We’ve created life that makes us see each other indifferently
In your world, I am an intruder while in mine, you are the coarseness. 
Making conflicts that are war like with little understanding of why we even came to know each other. 

Wherever my element throws...

“Grit is a better word or term”.
They have it – these “Grunts” - grit –
that sandpaper bearded coarseness
structure in the face of fallacy,
backbone to support the flaws
of the wishy-washy conspirators.
Perseverance in the face of punishments
wet boots and leaky tents,
rubbers to cover “rifles and guns”,
tenacity...

Harmony 69 Movement 5
Will you burn the earth`s  skin  to glass?. 

Yet, right there , in Harmony of `69
I bent  in adoration 
before the dusky pearl of your forehead
the soft slopes of your never-ending body
shifting under a sea of blankets
Oh! treasure of treasures !
sparkling

Premium Member Chores
Now day follows day
Plunges into dust,
Along that old play
Between trust and thrust.


Now just for a while
Accord a kind will,
Unhinge with a smile
That coarseness you feel.


Now if you still best
A weary burden,
Discern and digest
Gall that must return.


Now night covers night
To tally and keep,
Note surreal insight
That caress...

China Girl
Myself, a cup:

Resting quietly
in a stained glass cabinet,
I wait for Desire’s approach
upon the uppermost 
shelf:

That moment--

when the warm coarseness of His leather
dares to reach,
when the cabinet doors finally
breach;
when He lifts me 
to the pursing slope 
of pink.

He has not come,
yet content I remain. 
(Dust becomes...

The Quantum Problem With Trump
Is Donald Trump not essentially American, 
An exemplary icon of quintessential America? 
A normal man to the loud, confident American, 
The pride of the burly, bullish pedestrian?  
 
Freedom of speech is understood by Americans, 
To mean that diversity is the consequential result, 
And...

Premium Member The Cathedral of Stone
Within the cold gray stone,
It lives a spiritual humming,
A strumming rhythm of natures
Raw essence.
Breathing rock inhaling, exhaling
As the earthen elemental surrounding
Conscious thought.
Knowledge’s smoothed edges, leave
Reasons rough coarseness exposed.
Humanities deaf ear, hears only, 
The hollowing of the four winds,
Shutting out enlightenment's truth.
Natures dream weaver touches 
Heaven,
With...

Love Lost Then Love Found
Love lost that fiery feeling
babbling bitterness,
Much mundane coarseness came
pausing prime progress.
Though interval inspired
tantalising tone,
Where gracious grieving gratitude
brought the hungry home...
to forever fall for love again
rekindling sheer spark
with whispers wafting warming words
ignited from doomed dark.
Now, fuelled fire flames gears no games
yet drives desired dreams…
radiating rich romance
marvelling...

When Long Johns Get Religion
When long johns get religion
And you’re fallin’ out the door—
And bowels just move a smidgeon
When they need to move much more—

Then ol’ north winds come knockin’
And it’s then that you sure know—
If relief don’t come callin’
That you’ll sure enough dern blow!

Then your stomach do start...

A Waterfront Wish On Mother's Day
Mom, I embrace the SunShine
Mom, I embrace the Rain
Mom, I alleviate the coarseness of the grind
Mom, I eliminate all pain
Mom, I welcome all rhythms that move me
Mom, I relax the most easily triggered part of my mind 
Mom, I take in all the therapeutically medicinal...

Once Or Twice
once or twice I thought I saw you 
where shadow stretches long across the rock lawn 
but it was just the heat from the sun’s rays 
a mirage that evaporates into evening dust 

once or twice I thought I heard you 
drifting silently into a...

As Is Each Day of Years To Come
As is each day of years to come 

~

O’ blustered winds - of coarseness flow
Upon these lips atone
Yon murmured fields of slowly strolled
To quest as if unknown
Lest I call these visions deemed
A’ crying o’er the heart
Breadth o’ mine own eyes hath seen
Nor fancied o’ thy...
