It seems to me my tears never seem to really stop
lingering in the distance, free falling.
Mist, cloud, and rain.
All the little droplets hanging in a tree
One little droplet fell to be free
Sailing the seas of life, we find ourselves adrift, carried away with no compass or map to guide our way.
Our bodies, two vessels destined for collision on the jagged cliffs of the fray, ensnared by death’s velvet chains bound our amatory embrace.
Shipwreck that leaves us both in the auroral abyss, lachrymose tide drops two ebb us away, but we chose not to fade.
I’ll hold you sapphire sanctuary of solace,
living or stuffed euphrosyne, my ensnared.
Our kiss connects, waves dissolve, waxen effigy
surrendering its form, boundaries blurring ravenous hunger for kisses pulled us through the thunderstorm.
Beloved, promise me, you won’t let go.
TODAY I SAW MY LADY DRESSED IN A YELLOW GOWN,
YET NOTICED THE SPARKLING WATER DROP ROLLING DOWN,
PLACED ON HER HEAD LIKE QUEEN'S CROWN,
GLIDING OVER HER DREAMY EYES,
LETTING MY EMOTIONS ARISE,
SQUIDING OVER HER INNOCENT NOSE,
FRESHENING HER UP LIKE A BLOOMING ROSE,
KISSING HER LIPS,
DOWN THE CURVY NECK IT DIPS,
TOUCHING HER HEART MY SECOND HOME,
GENTLY ENDING ITS JOURNEY IN HER BELLYBOTTOM,
SAW MY LIFE IN THE WATER DROPLET,
STARTED FROM HER BUT CONTINUING AS OUR FATE,
I AGAIN DECLARE "I LOVE YOU MY SOULMATE".
Windmill thoughts embrace
white cap foam aspirations
ocean patios

My ego rising tall from lowly lay,
I often feel: world warms up to my song
And plays a second fiddle in my play,
I lead a vain orchestra all day long.
But evening twilight setting in, I brood,
Contemplate and begin at last to see
Me in misty shadowy solitude—
Oh, I'm no more than a droplet in sea.
The world's now bathed in radiance all new,
Beauty and bliss welling up from within,
And a window emerges with a view
That lets me see a world not before seen.
Man as a mere point in infinity,
He’s looked as a faceless nonentity. ______________________________________________

Rain splash lashing,
droplet aerosol crisp whiff.
Washed spray is distilled.
As the sun shone up
the elongated droplet
fell from glossy leaf
08/06/2019
As heaven breaks, so rain pours down,
On hill and vale, on trees and town.
Cascading tears that wash wounds clean,
A shattered loss, it brings out green.
Sorrow flows deep as the oceans blue,
Never quite gone, but sadness new.
A bird in flight still has to land.
So gravity pulls us to His hand.
So healing brings with sorrowing,
The rains will come, and following
Sweet flowers of imagining
Darkness Fades Into Light.
Droplets beget
drips and drops that fall
to splash, splat
plip and plop
in pool below.
Dew doplets
beaded on glass and leaves,
coalesce as rivulets,
let to run down panes
when it suffices.
Little droplet
your time is near,
never fear,
be part of it.
Fall into the great ocean
your conscious way,
unconscious stay,
Nature's final notion.
Lean back
let it go,
it happens so,
embrace the black.
Droplet make a tiny splash.
Whisper in your Bardo ear,
till you're no longer here,
and flesh turns to simple ash.
So sleep little droplet,
how sweet the dew.
To love it and live it
and to start anew.
