Nature's Goddess Came To Greet


I stood upon a new dawn
  When life was on the mend
And Spring burst in my heart 
  Nature's glory became my friend
Night stars and moon gave delight
  As if life commanded this show
Brilliant rays cast upon the...

Close to election time, we have the chance
to hear the candidates for office speak,
or “stump,” in nearby towns, to give their stance
on issues and improvements that they seek,
to promise they will strengthen all that’s weak.

The term “stump speech” dates back two hundred years,
when it was...

My eyes they tell the truth, the story of my life
Of both relentless selfishness and utter sacrifice

My eyes they tell the story of both love and hate
Of peaceful perfect bliss and wrenching heart ache

My eyes they tell the story of a tender youth
The bags that...

When we found you at the pound,
your eyes showed your despair,
all the others jumped around,
but not you, you just laid there.

dull chocolate coat, and painfully skinny,
you didn't even lift your head,
I watched you sadly, just a pup,
yet you seemed so grown up.

Half Lab, half Whippet,...

Rescue me, eyes of fire
Fill me with your livened blaze
Dress me in a star’s attire 
Awaken me from this shimmering daze.

Pave me a trail of your warm golden glow
Guide me with your foreseeing light
Warm my veins that they don’t slow
And ease my mind from its...

Yes, I love beer
And beer loves me,
We’re as thick as thieves
As honey is to bees.

I can’t help but wonder
What life would be
Without this golden amber,
Not a world I’d like to see.

Every sip a luscious joy,
Food for body, mind and soul,
It warms in winter, cools when...

He was skinny as a rail
Dared not put him on a scale
He grew much fatter
Didn’t seem to matter
I knew that he could not fail

She livened every party
Always knew she was hearty
She wailed when over
Like she was rover
Howls making her a smarty

I left him there in...

And I talk to her heart of delight, and she shudders to think elsewhere
The purchase of her soul, enlightened over here
She has a glass face, so smooth like porcelain
Created by a master-smith, not an extrinsic villain
Open minded heart, that of delight my friend
Loving like no...

Fifty fathoms ’neath the sea aboard the ‘Neptune’s Daughter’
The captain guards her secret in three hundred feet of water
For twenty years he floundered in a cell; Twas dank and cold
They let him out, he set about stealing ships and gold

The captain’s bones now walk the...

I was deserted by fun
Locked in a lonely world
Looked upon like a clown 
My heart was then cold 
Then out of emptiness, yet bountiful
You emerged so graceful.

With your sweet charms 
You entered my world
With those paralysing smiles of yours 
You pulverised my crumbling world
You laid foundation for another
The greatest...

along the beginning
of time, life has had its
beginning, it is imperfect
it is saddened by life
but it is livened by truth.
along the beginning
things show truth
beyond what
we see
as normal....

Whenever I think of you
it's like the sun shining through a storm.
I can see the cloudiness,
I feel enveloped by a warmth.

Whenever I think of you
it's like the moon is full for me.
There are no other people,
its shine is only for me to see.

Whenever I think...

she livened the world 
with her songs
one day the hippo 
heard her sing
he looked up 
and insulted her beak

she stared at her reflection 
in the water
the hippo was right
she was one ugly fowl
she was one ungifted bird

she swore never to come out again
she swore never...

Even as a young boy, sitting with my pup
I’d come up with rhymes, before I’d cleanup
My paper sparkled with all I could cook up
Words livened my page while some I’d ball up

With every poem I wrote, I’d ink my pen again
Preparing it for the words...

This time that comes between us,
I hate the most. 
It drags through the dy.
A black cloud overhead,
time standing still.
The time we are together
flies so fast.
A whilrlwind, over too quickly
and always leaves me sad
and longing for you.
This desire I have
to be with you
is like the air...
