MARTI THE MOUSE

MARTI THE MOUSE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Marti, a mouse of discerning taste,
strung his hammock.
not of woven reeds,
nor silken thread pilfered
from a sleeping giant's beard,
but dandelion floss,
a sun-bleached tapestry
between two golden towers.

He wrestled the fluff,
a Herculean feat for one so small,
tied knots with nimble paws,
cursing only slightly
when a rogue seed tickled his nose.

Now, he swung,
a furry pendulum
in a field of green,
eyes half-closed,
whiskers twitching
at the buzzing of a bee.

in my hammock

I was better off in my hammock, at the heart of the Amazon,
That rue Saint Marc, or rue Jules Guesde, without flames
My only enemies were mosquitoes and pirhanas,
Not the bakers, the students or the vanitous drunk,

I was better thinking of couroupitas or guaranas, (1)
In my hammock at the heart of the great Amazon, sleeping
I had seen the banana sellers, simple people like me,
Not journalists, principals or pretentious factors,

I was better in my hammock at the heart of the Amazon,
Everything was silent as in a transparent cathedral
Two or three friends were sleeping by my side in the jungle,
We could dream of black caracaras, aracaris blues,(2)




(1) these are plants from the Amazon
(2) these are birds from the Amazon

lazy summer days
lying in a hammock 
no deep thoughts for me

hammock dreams

summery pausing
hammock dreams
a neighborhood peace

Hammock

Using a hammock isn't as fun
When I search for two trees
And only find one

Hammock of Time

A hammock in time balances
my intense longing for you
and you are not inside with me

In Love In the Hammock

Entwined in the hammock
          shuffled hands and feet
          as threads...
          Gathered, seized
          to our feelings...
          We induce in our hearts
          the beat
          of the love that
          unites us... !

Hammock of Love On a Terrace By the Sea

Your hammock
   and my thirst
   pure love that stirs...

   on the rhythmic swing
   the further we balance
   plus the love happens...

   In this hammock, all desire
   only love brought us...!

A Silver Hammock

As the sky blushes with sweetness
With the sun quickly slipping down
On the horizon I see grey clouds
Approaching with a frown!

The silhouette of bearers of the moon I see
Warriors of the sky who carry me tenderly
Playing hide and seek with the stars
Little sliver of a rocking moon sailing far

Through eyelids like a crescent moon, closing in
Please come a little closer moon and 
keep me company
While I rock in a hammock of your silver light
Carrying me through the echoes of these 
dreamy hours!

'-Hammock-'

Suspended by some nylon strapped to a tree
With just the sky and me 
Peacefully lonely 
An escape from responsibility and society 
Where I can breath
With my thoughts 
And the air
Chilling away every care
The stars are bars 
Laid across the sky to keep me in my prison 
Of peace 
Till I wake 
To the morning sky
My peace will fly 
Back into its cage 
For the day 
Where it will stay 
Until the sky goes gray at the end of the day 
I go to work and dirty my hands
I dirty my feet across the lands
I then retreat to my nylon 
Knowing that my sweat is gone and work is done
And my peace will fly 
Back into the sky
Painting pictures for me
As I smile with glee
And exhaustingly breath
To my pillow I cleave 
Till the the morning 
When the birds sing
For another day
Where I work my best
Then lay down and rest
I say 
With much love
Thank you  
Dove

Hammock

Gazing at my toes
Soft pendulous rhythm
Caressing dusk’s beauty
Her soft, molten, tangerine dreams
Ferry me
To you

Hammock Thermal-Dynamic

Danny just loved to while the time away
Couldn't be bothered to see where he stayed
   In his hammock relaxed
   His brain not overtaxed
Fell deep asleep -- froze to death in Norway

An Afternoon In the Hammock

Imagine no cares 
Just floating in air
Swaying in a hammock 
Birds singing 
And a band playing in your ear
No 9 to 5 to ruin your day
Todays decision  which track  to play
Or should I read my book today
Jump on board the page train
Let it take you faraway 
From urban park 
To tropical heavan 
Summers here to stay 
That’s all I have got to say.

Backyard Hammock

I had a hammock underneath a shade tree.
I spent many relaxing moments there.
It was one of my favorite places to be.
I would fall asleep, which for me was rare.

Nice and wide, big enough for two.
Made of canvas, wide green and white stripes.
I would lay and stare at the sky, so clear and blue.
It was chosen out of many different types.

It was part of a beautiful backyard.
Set in a pretty wooded scene.
Deer at the fence, appearing to stand guard.
It was a place peaceful and serene.

I would listen to nature's many sounds.
Making its own music, its own song.
I could hear it as it seemed to be all around.
In my perfect backyard world it it did belong.

I shared my hammock with only one other.
Watching hours pass,her eyes so blue and dusky.
She was my best friend, we loved one another
I miss her, my Nikita, my sweet beautiful husky.

It was a special place that sadly is gone today.
Circumstances told me that I had to move on.
And even though it was long ago and far away.
It lives in my heart, a memory, a sweet bygone
