Premium Member Under the Surface
Mind cannot comprehend, it finds it strange,
when ignorance reigns in human exchange.
Wonder if some people will ever change,
or wish to remain in the firing range.

I prefer to live life without disdain.
When demons persist, penetrating pain,
I let the ink loose from my bursting vein,
to express with...

Premium Member Breaking the Surface
A millstone around my neck and weight about my feet
drag me down so deeply 
that I’m being pulled toward something. . .  
something from a darkened dream - nihility -
the place to lose chagrin 
and then to taste absolutely nothing.
Tropical delights do not swim...

Harboring Dreams Beneath the Surface
~

Silence, on waves of our tide motioned heartbeats,
cascading rhythms, a smooth metronome
Keeping this time inside blue water passions,
beneath the surface, the feelings we’ve grown

Hidden so deep in the swells of affection,
swimming the shores of a long summer’s night
Building a fortress of seashell laced castles,
sand dollar...

Reflective Surface
Slowly, the hours drag along
As I sit in quiet contemplation
On the horizon sits the dawn
Waiting with measured patience

My thoughts revolve around you
Almost as if I were a satellite
And just like sun, you don't seem to have a clue
That your warm rays bring me to life

And...

haze pollutes my mind
sinister gods bend my will

Premium Member Glittering Ocean Surface
The ocean's surface glitters,
Reflecting the eyes of all,
As smiling spectators gather,
To witness nature's call.

The waves crash against the shore,
In a mesmerizing dance,
As the sun's rays shine down,
Creating a sparkling trance.

The colors of the water,
Are ever-changing and bold,
As the deep blues turn to greens,
And the purples...

Premium Member Multipurpose Surface
In the beginning,
the wood floor’s purpose
granted ease of care.

Grandchildren, however,
took two running steps
in sock feet, and slid
all the way down the hall.

Sweet William and Petunia,
sent feline fur floating
through breathing space
as they chased one another
and batted toy mice
across the shiny planks.

The warm, wooden hue
furnished a fitting...

Premium Member Under the Surface
The world daily sees our face,
but only the one we choose.
Under its surface lurk many more.

Emotions a plenty hidden away
beneath the one we show to all,
many are the ripples on its surface.

This mask we show to all smiling,
keeping eighty per cent hidden.
True emotions kept locked...

You Still Surface Me
you still surface me
             like a blue tide in the sand
 immersed in your touch-
     like pebbles on the soft beach

Premium Member Church Perfect Surface
He feels the best of him slipping away
A sip a drip at a time
When will the he and him align
What is he missing
He can't stop thinking
in and out of focus drifting
as he witnesses his soul thinning
It unravels like twine
Looking to the Heavens for a sign
pretending...

You meant to get a Mac
So sure you though it fact
Then along came the Surface Pro
And you thought it a go.

Just carry around as you like
Even position it on a bike
