* I wrote this in my second year here for ‘Darren White’, for he impressed me in so many ways, but mostly as a friend. I lost touch with him over the last couple of years and just learned of his passing, so I am re-posting in his honor. Rest In Peace, Hazza … I’m

always to be whole Darren White


first may this day find you all well and safe
I am sorry that I have not responded to reviews
I know I am late once again
for those who know me I don't forget
and I will try to turn to your pages with honor

with this being said because I am heartbroken over Darren White
I felt compelled and

Premium MemberWhere are you?

I am here
you didn't show up
death is not an excuse
I will put more coins
in the parking meter
if I have too
until
I run out of coins
then run out of tears
	why oh why

tickets and fines
	who cares?
		

my purse is empty
I have run out of breath

Premium MemberYoung Frog Named Darren

There once was a young frog named Darren
Who was taught a fable to scare him
If a princess tries kissing
You may soon go missing
When she turns into a great heron

Premium MemberThe Flame of Life - With Darren White

Take me down to the stillness
     only love can bring
give me light in this darkness 
     so I can see
lift my chin, touch the baby hair 
     on my skin
illuminate my being 
     let me live again

Premium MemberIn the End - With Darren White

Walking through cold snow
Thoughts wandering as I go
Dragging my feet ever slowly
Bound for a place I know

The snowflakes make it hard to see
I’m wishing that you were close to me
two sets of footsteps left behind
being alone does not set me free

On our travels, we shall find
Together we make one of a kind
If only I could

Waves - Collaboration With Darren White

Sound currents
     invisible caresses
     on sensitive skin
resonate

Rays of sunlight
     dazzled display 
     adorns brown curls
radiate

Pirouette whirls
     personal cyclone
     lifts off
surges up

crests the arc
     internal elation

Some people you meet ...

Creep their way into your being
Like a kitten chasing shadows and dust
The pounce FAR more important than the prey
Little bits of things ephemeral

Intangible emotions and markers
That mean little in-and-of themselves
But all-in-all have a life, recombinant
And a spirit abiding ... gracious.

Quietly, gently, step-by-step
They climb the spiral to your heart's keep
No hurry, for

Premium MemberKing Arthur - a Collaboration With Darren White

He is the king of words and poets alike
Assay as you may, this man you won’t smite
His armour sparkles in night or day
Defending those too meek to say

His table is round, there's room for all
There are chairs with wheels so no one will fall
He hands out bronze goblets with sparkling wine
This king of lush gardens

She's a Good Girl - a Lyrical Collaboration With Darren White

She’s a good girl - a lyrical collaboration with Darren White


She’s a good girl
But she tries too hard
And it just don’t get her anywhere
Living her life in another’s shadow
Wasting her time in the short and narrow

She’s unhappy
And she cries too much
In her heart she’s feeling every pain
Take pity for she won’t be here too long
Everything’s
