Summer’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...

“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...

In 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...

Wide Open Sky
Can you hear me spirits that flows in air....
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...

Some 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 Open
If 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...

Premium Member The Eyes So Wide Open and Full of Wonder
A 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 Spaces
Who 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 Open
Go 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...

A 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 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...
