Bevy of swans in a sea-fowl cloud,
starling mumuration,whispering aloud.
Wray of quail,where teal spring,
tiding of magpie,as larks nesting, cling.

Nightingale watch a hover of crows,
herd of wrens,hosting sparrows.
Flight of doves,lapwing deceit,
charm of finches,swallows sweet.

Kindle of kittens,knot of toads,
a yoke of oxen shed their load.
Den of snakes,skulk with fox,
shires stabled and boxed.

Business of ferrets,labour with moles,
span of mules in a string of foals.
Harrass of horse,husk of hares,
rake of colts with a stud of mares.

Drove of cattle,with a tribe of goats,
downs of sheep,pack of stoats.
Spider cluster in a thatch,
brood of game,hatched,matched
and despatched.

The Waiting Game

The back room
of creation
where much of life
is spent

Victim to 
the waiting game
where doldrums
reinvent

All dressed up
and ready
with nowhere
clear to go

Waiting for
that flash of light
to put me
— in the know

One Slip

Life

Hope

both tightening

Never

One slip
and the promise

— submits

Darkness Retreating

Writing
to a standard
new standards
are drawn
Light
disinfecting
a bevy
of wrongs

Writing
to a standard
the truth
is upheld
Darkness
retreating

To Bask In Its Presence

Writers
have a double edged
courtship with time
Cutting both ways
past and future
defined

But the moment’s
unwritten
unspoken unrhymed
To bask in its
presence
— you live it sublime

What I Seen In Skies

I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel
the pain at times
or that it's easy fighting back
tears from eyes
These wells of water helped me
maintain my peace of mind
when buoyancy recognized
the row was heavy
Waves of emotion flow 
with steady lucidity
bringing with them
a bevy of things to 
mention
My levees & crystal clear 
intentions are boundaries
that help me avoid
attrition
Strength comes subtly
when you aren't
paying attention
& then suddenly your
mightier upon
ascension
I fail to mention secrets I've
disclosed to self
that came in times
I was supposed as 
lonely
I was supposed to be but
never seen loneliness 
up close enough so it's
hard to glean
It's too morose you see
& I've always been so close
to me that my adjacent self
never portrayed the scene
The lack of complacency 
keeps me moving
& looking forward within
for more things
to see
So if you were to see
the world through me &
my set of eyes
you'd see that I've cried
inside but wiped the slate
before the tears had dried
It all seems soooo contrived
to the point where
my face that was etched
in stone had no place
to hide
Still I bring forth what I
feel inside as a way
to emote
letting you know
this isn't a queasy boat
Nor is it an easy wave to ride
when storms are the norm
in these outrageous
times
In my dreams I slide
sailing on sunny days
ducking the overcast
& its greasy ways
Like a bird I choose to fly
leaving things beneath
my wings behind
while I enjoy
the sky
I've said goodbye to what's 
under the higher mind
choosing to stand over
the lower times
As above so below
they hear the 
cries
before they evaporate
like water that
falls from cloudy 
eyes

Falsetto

How deeply sung the inspired
 remnants of the poet's fire,
 the well being of love desired.
A bevy of words fraught
 rising from the embers more distraught
 love lessons untaught.
in the burning bleed of the aching heart
 set deep in the feelings of emotional start
 never to be expressed too smart.
The flames rise whipping the infatuated high
 and physical temptations are but a lie
 as lives passing in the by and by.
Tell me a different story
 where the  imagination finds greater glory
 embracing the dream as quarry,
reality here within the settling acceptance
 of love and its rejection
 finds no peace in its resting.
I loved you, I'm sure I do
 but quick it fades when untrue
 and the loneliness remains subdued.

The Gates Of

For those that
are wondering &
don't already know
this is only my intro
Follow me as I go
into a bevy of
new directions
My introspection?
Deeper than grave
perceptions of egos
at deaths door
They're incinerated
in more ways than one
because it's hot
at the core of things
This door brings you
to the fringes of a reality
you aren't ready for
today
One that's off the hinges
& infringes upon
boundaries you've
kept locked away
I implore you to 
stay away if you aren't
ready for a new
way of seeing
There's a whole new
production coming
to the fore
No acting
just being
This is a drawn out
introduction to
so called
things of lore
A rise assured by
the steady hands
of the divine
A quiet conception
being birthed
at the most
appropriate of times
A shine so magnificent
it could easily be mistaken
for something
dark
Feasibly so because
the spark is so blinding
to shady eyes &
was from the start
On your mark
Get ready & set to go
while keeping
your focus steady
What of the weight
of the world on
all our shoulders?
It's heavy
but nothing we can't
lift & bear
I'll share something
else with you
again
As I've said in 
times past
it all works out
in the end
It's fair to say
the more we lift
the stronger it is
we become
Nothing worth having
comes easy & if it did
getting it wouldn't
be fun

   So bashful my soon to be wife

   She places her fingers into my
 hand as I help her down from the
                    surrey

    Her eyes firmly fixed to mine
                she smiles
               and curtsies

                Arm in arm
I lead my petite princess to an arbor
     adorned with flowering vines
      and a bevy of meadowlarks

           Resting on my knee
            I ask for her hand
     my lips kiss her soft fingers
   and I speak in romantic verse

      I ask forever to share life
   and her moist kisses at night

 Magically my bashful little flower
 my timid princess spoke with jest
            to shift the fright
     and down her soft cheeks 
             tears crystalline
      from her brown eyes fell

           With gesticulation
          and her hair flowing
    whilst she gracefully danced 
                  I heard 
                  "yesss"

Bursts of Creativity

Bursts Of Creativity...

Asper myself tend
to occur late at night,
or early morn 'o follow
wing day unbeknownst
despite acute insight
how, when, where, why...

ideas swarm and bite
inspiration doth alight
try as I might to
coax, anchor right,
burning candlebox at
both ends during midnight

oil, and pry open hermetically airtight
noggin, where my poetic
(side) juices glommed up tight
blew silly blackened, and barbed
as though cold anthracite
ash coal lest futile effort

fueling mental cogs synaps (snaps),
sans each axon and dendrite,
and damn pinwheeling frenzied
writer's block won't budge,
no matter intense aghast fright
regarding drawing nothing,

but blank screen, an unpleasant sight
which activates greater fright
concentration stoppers appetite
to satiate agile literary skill
invoked with all mum might
encountering severe

resistance along well worn
nicked, pitted, rutted...
central processing unit abysmal sight
core cratered tracks analogous trite
other places blasted as if by dynamite
nanobot size infrastructure blight

hmm... huff frayed
to admit fifty plus shades
of grey pock marked beltway abustle
with at least bajillion
self important cosmopolite

avast friggin buzzfeed contrasted with bevy
of heavily rowdy, yet polite
sumo wrestlers exuding
spongy dimpled cellulite,
nonetheless grueling effort experienced
with craven half starved diabolical spite

undermining, jackknifing,
dogging... literary endeavor to expedite
satisfactory pièce de résistance flight
of fancy, though challenged
every step of the way,

once ambition fired up...at twilight
as mortal passion
unstoppable to complete
crafting daily poem
kindled with emotional lignite!
