Love Letter To Rose Shipwreck

...To my Dearest Darling Rose

I am writing this letter to you at this
moment sat on my own up on deck
of the ship and it's around midnight 
We are somewhere due south of the 
equator in the middl...

Season Like

...leaves fall softly upon the earth’s floor

color swapping from gold to brown

sparrows sing from undressed limbs

as they migrate due south

nestled securely

as they gather

in search of...

5 Week's Later Sadly

...Like I said right before 
you came
5 week's would come
and go

One day we would be happily patiently 
eagerly awaiting your arrival
And seemingly the very next day 
driving you back and wavin...

Playing Cards

...Speaking Spanish wasn't easy for a gringo like me, but I had no choice. I was playin' cards and drinkin' Mezcal at a nowhere bar in El Paso. I didn't have any money in my pockets but I was bluffing t...

Betwixt Flowers and Trees

...The brown lawn may not be an eye catcher or head turner,
but a Rose of Sharon tree, reminding me of the Middle East

and the Holy Land, grows quietly and slowly in my back yard,
sandwiched by two...

Oh My Grandpa Dear

...Oh my Grandpa dear-he had just one big beer.                                                                          He thought he could see, his eyes were fuzzy and not clear.                      ...

Twisted Garden

...She has Ivy twisted in her hair, day-lilies sprouting from the palms of her hands. 
She dances with the willows, but she cries with the sun-sanken land. 
She lets the daisies dance around her feet,...

Sanctuary III

...My throat feels scratchy
I'm irritable and edgy
Coming down with the flu
Trying to go for success 
I'm still pending
Reaching out to you oh Lord
Please don't make your ears too heavy
I'm ready...

The Touch

...I've got an idea
I'm pretty sure will work
Let's all pitch in together
And ruin everything we touch

We'll start off quite haphazardly 
With the world we live in
Taking to task our best to tra...

Group Think

...Group Think

Salute the troops
Salute the flag
Flag this poem
Flag the ragtag
Ragtag cities
Ragtag people
People don’t think
People are sheeple
Sheeple herds
Sheeple follow like birds
Bir...

Heart of Hell

...Even in darkness, I see the four walls
Resentment North while sadness due South
West something lost East pays the cost
Now there is nothing I see
She had left haunted life
Gasping fo...

A Dance In Del Rio

He poured the sand out of his boots
An' struck a trail due South
Searchin' for a brown eyed gal with
A pouty little mouth

He'd met her down in Del Rio
While makin' up t...

Dana Sees the Southern Cross

...Off Terra Firma sixteen weeks now.
My legs take roots; my eyes become infinite.
Past the Tropic of Cancer, the Lesser Antilles. 
Talk of brown skinned girls, Purple Clouds of Magellan. 
The South...

Quaint and Charming

...On the celestial equator she sits.
     A splendor to the zodiacal constellation, she is due south.
As starry as he can be,  Ursa Major (The Big Dipper) is 
     her neighbor.
As her picture u...

Sorrow Flight

...I 'm so sorry that I have to go
There are so many things I want you to know.
That even though here it does end
I surely hope we are still friends.

My taxi awaits to take me away
to my reserved seat ...
