In dreams, there is an island 
where we belong, just you and me,
and that little thing we call love
where moon is always smiling
her silver rays on the edge 
where the waters play
while hand in hand we can wander
over the shores of elation
and through the trees...

E ach pebbled path awaits the fall mum without momentum
L anguishing until the fall of foot brings them a pace.
A ll static objects seek the joy, the soulful strum 
T hat gives to some and uncommon sense of face
I dling not within the static shell,...

In my eighteenth Spring, strangers used brotherhood as decorative ribbons to gift me a feel and a truth that have staid my life long.  At a nature-adorned ranch flowed a celebratory wedding reception upon soft green field carpets so lush they matched the gentle...

As I worked out at the gym one night
My eyes were captured in sight
By a beauty so young
With a curvy pert bum
She winked, was that the green light

Over the weeks we chatted and dated
My breasts she says, are so underrated
I said what can I do
To...

I didn’t sleep a wink, that night; I never do at the beach.
The gentle surf, it calls to me in the night and for a swimsuit I reach.

How it stimulates my imagination and I dream, with open eyes;
of caverns, deep and dark, where I may...

Elation & Vacillation a comedy
A poem
Lionel Derbyshire

Every day I want to .. but I could not
Today I must do .. I have to
Yesterday I let it go away so today 
I will not run dry, I will , I must
I have done my mirror practice
And...

Perhaps I dream.
Or live in some stupor,
dreading hallucinations.
Why can’t I have
Iridescent reveries?
Perhaps it’s all in the mind,	
The aptitude of what I don’t require.

But it is not what I want.
I want to be in heaven,
to feel the ecstasy of love.
It matters not if I am happy...

Incinerate me with your fierce ardor
Dissolve your very being into me
We converge and detonate
Into a state of bliss
Your osculations are exceptionally pleasurable
As i liquify and flow into your veins
To forever be in your heart literally
Intaking your ambiance straight to my brain
Seeping into your arms like...

taking the long way
Grandma with her stick and me
ankle deep cold creek
 
homing pigeons rise
circling evening skies
fledgling blue-bars in training
 
blackberry stained lips
sipping hot sassafras tea 
fireflies welcome home...

sunshine
blue skies

thrilled as 
temps rise

thirty-
seven

feels like
Heaven

house-bound
no more

fun plans
in store

stretching
walking

no more
balking,

for the 
weather

holds no
tether

My guitar sings, it’s reverberating strings; dance with my fingers.

My dulcimer cries and whines; telling folk tales, centuries old.

One with the strings, their harmony brings elation, to my soul.

I knew him from my past
He was kind and beautiful, 
A silent sigh breathed out
From the feelings, so overwhelming
Larger than life feelings – melting
Away the darkness, sending
Light through the heart and soul

I knew him like I knew hope
With vibrancy that hastened to show
Me the wonderful...

as the wind stirs, blows
away dust of starry night
glistening, glitter
