Sunflowers like smiling balloons,
round and robust, sounds
of the stem bobbing like a string
tied not to the past but to the soons.

Lost before noon, the duct
let out one final tear. Now
she is nearer to God than me.
Like a sheepdog, I guard my Dad.

Sunflowers, weaved into a...

I don't suppose
the white hums of summer
will ever out strum the blues;

but here before me,
two colors mingle
in polite harmony-
spouting about
like versed chums
over black coffee

so why do I stand here,
all cockeyed
and bashful
in these careful shades of yellow,
mulling over red
and its poignant way 
of bruising my heart

The time nears, be it days or years,
when my soul must fly and my feet 
shall trod the dusty earth no more,
and God says yes or God says no,
but go, my soul must go........

I too believe
Flowers have more purposes than the bringing of fruit
So that all of me is not known
Though dig to the bedrock of my root
And I have feared that I shall go away
Before the golden fleece
Of many colors set me laughing at sun, moon and...

In the middle of the universe I stand
                       So alone, though surrounded by love

The gifts are wrapped and ‘neath the tree
in brightly colored bags and bows.
I now sit back, my mind set free
to contemplate these thoughts I chose
and share this verse I now compose.

‘Tis quiet on this Christmas Eve;
a soothing peace now fills the air
with calming grace as...

I stand on the cliff’s edge and look down,
The falling stones, I hear their resound.
I close my eyes to feel the winds embrace,
I sense its touch all over my face.

I’m alone,
No fear...
The white waters pound the rocks below,
If I fall...
Who would know.

This is my selfish...

(Oh, how time goes by, hm?
It's been
A long while 
Since she last said 
Farewell.

(She remembers;
Your smile
Despite your unnerving hand
Said you wanted to plenish
A rogue tease
On her lips. 
Which was fine 
Then.
But time went, 
And desire disguised itself,
Spiraling into satirical hatred. 
And somehow between
Ponders and dreams
Of...

To contemplate nothing with something, a Sisyphean task
The mind’s paths, like Escher’s roads, simply double back
To land again in somethingness, explanations lack
Yet our deeper selves know profoundly the nothingness
It’s the void that fills up magically with a loved one’s kiss

We come to Hither
To Honor the Spirit
       Of the Lord
We beseech Thee in
Thy Moment' of need'
     We plead to Thee

Let Thy freedom
Abide in Me

laying eyes on you first time
I wonder how that will feel
beyond this virtual lines and images
how will our senses appeal to us
as fear and trepidation beating drums
echoes louder drowning out good intentions
which will stay true and strong.... virtue or fear?
which will we let in .......

It is the winter of my life
And I don't need
To plant a seed 
Or pluck a weed.

In fall and winter I stay in.
It is too cold.
Jack Frost is bold
And I am old.

There was a time when winter palled,
I longed for spring
But here's the thing
I've lost...
