Long Agates Poems

with a mine from which one’s treasures are derived.
The familial bonds we form are platinum; our friendships gold.
These are precious ores that most souls are born to...

Addendum

The prerequisites have been established.
The requirements have been met.
The struggles have been suppressed.
The strife is the burden that coexists.
Now when it is time to make a transition,

Apparently far from tacit
Near endless racket
In day light and pitch blackness

to hills, towering tors,* mutinous mountains, endlessly growing

The healing stones rest.
Fondled and smoothed by
Fingers as gently as Hail Mary beads,
Of those seeking grace- Questing new life,
Stilled by hands uncertain of
Direction or destiny, begging to rise
Like the Phoenix from fiery ashes.

The colors of...

Stepping over the threshold
Locating the floor buttons
I press the 3rd floor

Ebony skies a backdrop for salty,
sweet staccato ecstasy
a tune of elation.

Ivory limbs play out crescendos
upon seabed gems, crystalline towers,
aquamarine dreams and tortoise shell agates;
pink anemone and corals
wave-dance amid swaying 
amber Carolina sands.

Octopii link arms

C’est la vie, Billy!

   His cheeks a deep scarlet, 
     His jaw tightened in an eerie grin,
        He stands, rooted to the...
