Spring styles sweet smiles
Move massive miles


Charm  confronts clay
Pick poignant play


Bright blossoms bear
Wonder weaves wares


Reap rich rapture
Calm choice captures


Gain gracious grounds
Speak sensuous sounds


Leave lasting looks
Bright blooming book


Verse vital voice
Caress clear choice


Bright blessings bloom
Rich rapture rooms


Frame fiery feel
Touch tender thrill

The huntsman’s horn in
The School Boy is non-
native. But he likes the 

poem, hears a snake-
charmer’s pipe vicariously,
empathizes with Blake’s

boy’s love of  innate 
freedom, and then doodles
in boredom. Next period,

he slips down from
the top of Pythagorean 
theorem. He snoozes in

the Neolithic Age at noon....

Fire, fire, burning bright!
Fire, fire, a gorgeous sight!

Crimson red, copper, and gold
Blazing hot as the flames unfold.

I feel the heat, the rage, the power,
Burning white, a searing flower.

The fire imbues me with strength,
Gives me lust, shortens days' length.

Burn through the night and through the day

eyes met, magnetic, melting every fear, thirst quenching
as the stars left a dewy trail on the twilight
flowing in secret rhythms of heartfelt passions
stirring awake the feelings reflected in this tender gaze

Musty
Creepy
Dark hallways
My silent room
The moans groaned louder...
Louder...
Louder...
With every tick of the clock

Frustrated
And anxious
I paced around
Impulses crept up slowly...
Slowly...
Slowly...
Until I called her up...

lizards mating die in electric lines
snakes coil hibernate lay eggs ---
dogs die crossing highways

same could be said of every animal
none is great when impulse strikes ---
could man claim exception?

Impulses
Electric Signals flaming through my brain
Thoughts are flashing by my eyes so quickly
I fear that my mind is going insane.
A flash of sanity hits me like a hammer
I see the replay from the visions of my past
My mind is warning me not to be in...

Love fills my sights with vivid joy,
Observe the flow of simple things;
Voice now feels light as play brings ploys,
Echoes tint show in placid flings;
Live then the sway of profound times,
Yield to the pulse that comes to be.
Intuit the way to sound fine rhymes,
Mind seeds impulse...

IMPULSES
the creative

  impish impulses
  sweep over me
  one more preposterous
  than the next

  I think I’ll take 
  the plunge and see
  if I can act on them 
  without context

Ink words of cheer when fear brings dread,
Move faith right here to purge afraid.


Prompt poise to pun with turn of wit,
Urge noise to run when joy now fits.


Live in the light so dark can't stay,
Set then your sights on zest that plays.


Etch a fond thrill...
