Best Impromptu Poems

[Written during a twelve hour power cut caused by
Storms this past winter]

The storm that arrived in the depth of the night
Got even worse with the new morning’s light
Although I presumed that they’d already know
I contacted the electricity co

I asked if they knew the whole town...

my muse
went on
a cruise ship
vacation
leaving me
alone

right
now aft
or port
she is
dancing
on some deck

as i am
playing solitaire
on my cell
phone
not even
real cards

i miss
the texture
not new
nor worn
cards
finger familiar

like touching
her thigh
a foreplay
game
how can i
lose
against myself...

I want
to migrate
navigate the
stars as did the

magi to
find not my
christ child but
you

now with
my head far
above the clouds
allowing visions to

be seen in
the star charts
that constantly show
me constellations comforting

and 
compelling
me to follow the
wing beats of Cygnus...

i need
not look
at photographs
to see you

you are
who i see
deeper than
my very being

no stars
to follow
as my soul
migrates closer

spinning
opposite poles
out of control compass
compassionate madness

i've wrecked
upon a shore
sure as i've never
seen before but in dreams

yet
in one
photo it seems
behind you is a coconut tree...

amused
by my muse
never having
even seen
snow

she saw
in photos
but never having
ever
felt

feeling
deprived of one
of life's wonders
her starving mind
wanders

i tell her
facts about flakes
never having
ever 
one the same

then throwing 
snow soft 
to shape
but hard 
to take

shaping men
and women
snow people
frozen
memories

but
I've said too much
no sense of touch
all this knowledge
falling in flurries

but my...

her hair
hanging
dangling down
to touch
my chest

looking up
i see
a blue sky
cloudless
hopeless

is she 
leaning
over me
breathing
into me

trying to inspire
one last poem
cpr requires
pinching
the noise...

(A poem of Love and Hope)

The sky: Part 1

the sky's timing
so tuned in
to the sun

to the moon
always smiling
bright blue

with never
ending
arms

stretching from
East to West
a loving embrace

taking all in 
and all there is
even an odd cloud

The cloud: Part 2

a cloud comes
entering stage left
blown
by a wishful
whispering wind

curling his...

i want
to ride you
like a circus
animal now
performing
in the first ring...

i saw a robin
anyone
that knows
anything
knows
though
supposed
to be
a sign
of Spring
knows
that they
don't
migrate
that they
live in
the woods
in winter
in the woods
robins
are
everywhere
unaware
thinking
that this
is
Spring...

the snow
people saw
the sun
for the first time

the pipe dropped
from her mouth
the carrot dropped
from him

their feelings
weren't tears
they were deeply
felt not knowing

what had
moved them so
was to
melt...

I had no plan to fall in love with you,
still you won me without pretense or art
when you walked into my life impromptu.

Just the real you with no retinue
of fakers saying lines and acting parts;
I had no plan to fall in love with you.

There you...

Me, myself and my;
Prefer things that for would die;
Also, so do I.

Maybe even done impromptu.
