Best Ends Poems

Late autumn glides  with buoyant ease
Where songbirds  twit  a mellow note;
A hymn for cycle’s last reprise
That graces  rippled leaves afloat:
November  whorls  its amber  lace
Endowing quiet as blooms  cloak
The lanes     the fields… in night’s...

Oh laundry, how relentless you are in this house,
It’s as if I were a polygamist’s spouse.

I wept upon the news deployed
For now within, exists a void
My heart has stopped, it’s turned about
For life with love is now without
Now cast away, the physical form
I await the fate, to be reborn

To one day greet you there, again
The Gates of Heaven then let...

Such little time has passed where once was just
a dream; I lived to love you
beneath labyrinths sky

Sleepless nights, clutching to memories as 
they slowly fade echoing
through deprive lace fingers 

And I would go, to the ends of the earth
to be close and in your arms
feeling...

Often I dream of better days
Where it was not so hard to cope
A place where there is peace of mind
And the streets are full of hope

The anger that I feel inside
With days of being stressed
The hurt, the pain, the sorrow
Can all be laid to rest

A long winter ends
Flowers prism the sunshine
Life begins anew...

The Long Count Calendar, Cycle One Ends

December twenty-first, two thousand and twelve –
The Mayan long count calendar sets sights on that year.
Are there ecological and cosmic questions to delve?
Is it time for modern man to panic and fear?

The reckoning at hand, according to Mayans,
Began with...

I penned a thousand lullabies 'bout you

          Yet your lashes closed, tender

     To the ends of those songs ...


You whispered sacred secrets to my name

Pink Roses of Sharon
hugging the streetlamp
The blue sky with
sand texturred clouds
is like a reflection
of water and the beach
An oasis of green grass...
with pink, orange, red and yellow
Mums floating like waterlilies
in the green water...
Birds stop and fly
land and fly
staying close to earth
to forage for food
Green leaves...

The winds here.
It's come to whisper secrets
And blow my words all to the grounds. 
There go all my papers, 
They never had a reason or rhyme.

I'm wishing you would call me
And spare me a short story,
I can't seem to find the mind to like any...

Your fate is sealed
   Once a year
or so the book 
   tells us
   Death is not 
a thing to worship 
  Life is!
 When some small creature 
        crawled forth from...

We heard today the horrifying news -
that earth will shatter with the new day’s light!
Alone – just you and I – how will we choose
to spend our time on this - our final night?

We will not dine; instead we pour fine wine.
Old love songs we...

I stare at the paper, pen in hand
Nothing fills the lines but angry tears
Where are the words that overflowed;
where are the works that wrote themselves 

What happened to the sleepless nights 
a poem would scream to be heard
Refuse to let me rest until it was...

Jack went up the hill to check his still,
but he drank too much and soon fell ill.
The Doc said it's too late,
all that shine sealed his fate.
One drop too much is enough to kill.

Poor Jill was sad til she read Jack's will,
he left a lot...
