despair hangs heavy 
in the air these days
 
but the only path

teardrops overwhelm tilted ice trays
gently gathering each
hoping for a catch...

Twists And Turns

Sometimes we
 Get let down 
With all the twist 
And turns in life

 Above water

 Determine to fight
You find the cost
 To feed your family

The fight between good and evil,
Ongoing, constant.
Many write about black and white,
Yin, yang.

Black, white,
Two halves, both in one.
Only recognition of the...

Gardens – After Dark

Buddha sits stoically observing his garden.
The Gnomes snore as the Fairies toss and turn

Pixies party with the flashy fireflies.
Nocturnal seekers. Mice, forever paranoid,
scurry...

Weeks goby and I don't hear from you
I cant tell you why I worry so much 
I just want to hold you and kiss you
The ultimate goal...

Maybe, if everyone behaves themselves,
If the snowpack is deep and thick around elm and maple,
And the tourists didn't stay away for lack of snow.
If the temperatures stay cold at night, and warm in the day,

Like the feeling of swinging on my swingset. 
It only cost a dandelion. 
With seeds so harmless.

After its flight from the rainforest of Amazonia

And as it cools I sip the rich, dark serum of the earth
The salvation of Fair-Traders I hope...

unknown to the pain of rejection.
still new to the emotions of men,
untold feelings of reflection.

with new deep meaning,
that could move and break even a...

noble i tried to encompass her fairest face
in words sweetly written
but knowledge awaits the little engine that could
chug chug chug up the hill pushing his boulder of wheat

In pacts that you make with a demon
That never is broken...
