Do you find the sound of water calming, soothing and serene?
Whenever I hear water and am outside, it instantly calms me. If I’m feeling angry I’m calmed, if I’m sad, happy. When I’m near water I feel...

And moistened lips I softly kissed
Beguiling as the dusk's embrace,
That framed with such expressiveness
The perfect smile upon your face,
Which reached out so uncertainly
Although I glimpsed with mild surprise,
The tethered velvet fluttering
Of shadows living in your eyes.

Then we awakened to each other
As we held on to...

"A Poet's Gift" you wrote three years ago -
the arc of your poetic heart to tell.

invoking tears to well and hearts to swell.
You had a gift. You were a gift as well.

Twin Unlimited   ballad


Twinned at birth I shared a moment
Not too much room in the womb remained

She was named Sandra and I Diane.
It wasn't long before she...

Everyone has the freedom of choice 
Everyone has an expressiveness to save their own voice
Who are you who am I to judge this choice

You don't know me
 I may have  rebelled against God 
Been disobedient and above odds 
This resulted...

In ghostly white and crystal blue
Like sun spiked diamonds on a chain,
So gently dripping down upon
Your silhouette within the rain,
And where you stood, the shadows bowed
In homage and in wonderment,
As unseen beauty shone abroad
In such a sacred sacrament.


Then the gas light glowed upon you
And your...

I pause and witness words of beauty
Taking me up to the mountain top
A simple gift of serenity

I stand still looking over the drop
Held in the grasp of expressiveness 
Taking me to the mountain top

Lifted on phrases of pure...

In song…

How I crave the expressiveness of thought

And when it is gone
I will write as I have always...

How do I know when I have made someone happy?
Cause I sure can tell when I have not

How should I spread myself thin enough to help everyone?
Hopefully...
