Split Wide OpenSummer’s sweetest natural dessert
Presented itself to me in the form of a
Large seeded watermelon that
I found by chance at a local food stand.
Thrilled was I to see such a perfect specimen!
Wide, round, and green,
It had a yellowish underside and those “bee stings”
Desired by people who...

Split Wide Open“Love is a power so strong, yet if compressed without
outlet, it is as good as stagnant waters"---by poet
As we roamed under the star spangled sky,
Sharing many a trivial thought
I failed to voice my clandestine whim
Structured within my heart's inmost core
When words got...

Split Wide OpenIn quiet, space breaks down into insight.
Opposing the edge amidst deceit and blight.
Imperceptible resonation is reflected back.
On a hunch, or at the stroke of night track.
A lethal tree is still close in the woodlands.
The spirit was trailing on the kist of the tree.
At first, kids...

I swear to you that the love we have is so rare..
Can you hear me wide open sky ?
He's the one that with him I shall die...
Can you witness my lovely stars on my vow ?
Can you...

Eyes wide open, it's all so clear,
He was meant to find her here.
The stars, they seem to be aligned,
Messages, signs, she needs to find.
He knows for certain that I am she,
The path he's followed leads to me.
Never has love been felt so strong,
By...

Eyes Wide OpenSome say that he was born to lead
Others, that he was much too weak
Yet, they followed, blind as bats
Eyes wide open, kissing ass
Until he led them into the deep!...

With Arms Wide OpenIf love came knocking at your door
What would you do
Would you smile and invite her to come in
Or ignore the call
If love lifts you up direction sky
And you feel alive
Would you stop and question your heart why
Or give it a try
If love...

The Eyes So Wide Open and Full of WonderA little girl wishes were sought
Talking to her pup as she thought
He sits patiently, and observes
A pat on the back he deserves
Looking mysterious she fought
A little girl wishes were sought
Her wee heart started to bubble
Not knowing it might cause trouble
At the end of the road,...

Wide Open SpacesWho wide open can spaces possibly be?
Will the end of them, I be able to see?
Heaven always has one wider than ours
Along with Pearly Gates and Ivory Towers.
Will water falls be in heaven and rivers that run?
Are stars there also and can be a bright...

Break Me Wide OpenGo ahead!
Break me wide open
spread me out thin
Thin...as the dough beneath the well dusted rolling pin
Slender my edges and refine my rounded shape
push me away from you with each forceful roll
extend me
in our mutual exertion to define it
Yes...do straighten me slowly carefully gently...

Split Wide OpenA chance encounter soon turned to love
Blossoming alike a flowering spring
That undulates moods of prairies green
Oscillating rhythms of tender winds
Amid trees-abloom, swaying revelry
And streams rushing to greet the sea.
They were blessed to find each other
Having just exited from a harsh winter
Of failed marriages and lovelorn...

Wide Open SpacesWide Open Spaces
In my basket of
steel and plastic,
sole company
my personal talking head
and Billy Joel
reminding me
we didn’t start the fire,
I bucket along.
The highway’s empty
this time of night and
I am the only planet
in the universe
oblivious even to
its own moon.
Breaking seventy-five,
my selfsame speed of light,
a comet of...

Eyes Wide Open
~**~
There are somethings in my mind
Things even I don't want to find
I want paint the town grey
Instead of red
In the ebony shadow of yesterday
When did this these walls begin bleeding
Like the lunar eclipse and the burnt red sky
Red like your lovers lips.
Dangling salvation in front...
