"Birthing the Vortex"



the complexities of a myth
borne from the birth 
of amorphous seat 
in dark matter brain

storming dimensions never seen
merely guessed, intuitive, unblessed

Indeed drawing all others, with its cheerful brilliance.

This is the stuff some hearts are made of.
Anguish. Elation. Say it once again!
Just for the sake of hearing a feeling's name,
and the long drawn out sigh
of sounds echoing out of breath, out of breath,

When Laughter Falls on Gods Ears

Today I was reminded that “GOD still happens”
Despite it all “God still happens” No dogs barking –
On this still solemn Monday –
No birds tweeting,
No motor cars passing. Just a stillness.
And...

I stand at the crossroads
Of a choice that tempts both halves of my soul
The one on the left is sunny
The gravel is smooth and the light bounces off gleaming grass
The edges blossom in vivid colors
And...

Running this way and that, in search of some adventure new
The roads ran their course with flatirons the ruts not few
Over hill, mountain, river, valley, flood, glen and dale
To the open sea with long, sandy...

Sleeping Beauties~ Moment in time....

As I reflected upon her picture; this fairytale revised ~

And how she disappeared so quickly

Yet but a passing vision before my eyes

Still not knowing, what it was about herself

Or why, her...

Here I am again talking about my feelings about you
A digital diary that the masses can peek into
In lieu of ink blots and eraser shavings
As worthless as the very thoughts I throw into the expanse

The seasons vary as they come and go,
and each, a lovely lady, loves to dance.
Fair Winter glistens in a gown of snow
she wears whenever she can get the chance.

She often glides through night beneath the...

He was reputed to be rich which was enough for some girls.
James B Thorndike the fifth, and full of himself to whit.
The bluest of eyes stared from under his ebony curls.

Ten years ago, there was a cock
Who lived up to his name.
For though he left us all well-fed,
He left the yard in shame.

Replaced was he by one who was
A very silly goose.
That goose got cooked;...

Like anything
There are two edges to this sword
The ragged one has, for now, cut too deeply
The reality of its cleaving
And the intent of the hand it is wielded by
Thickens the blood that weeps from its...

In the garden by the cliff,
She met a boy
His eyes sparkled; hers sparkled with joy
And to see him again, she should, she would come back

In the garden by the cliff,
He showed her new things
Skipping rocks;...

Mixed Marriage
By Rick Rucker

The sky seems somewhat bluer now,
The birds seem a little cheerier, somehow,

The grass looks a darker green, 
More so than I have ever seen,

My disposition seems to be more pacific,

BLUE BY YOU

What’s Blue by me?  

Butterfly wings, 
the Blue Moth in flight,
stilettos, suede shoes, 
for dancing at night.
Moonbows and rainbows, 
in the spectrum of blue,
the eyes of your love, 
when he’s laughing at...

Inauspicious shapes of endless goings and comings;
It seems Life’s headwaters of the deep waxed well,

Racing around it won’t stop 
Cant stop

Rising up, marching towards battle
We fear no man, no foe
We shall rape and pillage

Your village shall be ours
We shall bring fires from hell upon you
The young will die

Walks we took, across the bridge and down the ridge we'd climb
He'd catch himself to shorten steps, while I'd be stretching mine
With fields to plow, and milking cows, yet he always made the time
To make...
