She Had a Rainbow In Her Heart

I used to watch my mother sew
she would sit at her machine
and run the fabric through its course
making perfect seams.
She would make me suit,
fit me with lots of little tugs,
call me a handsome little man
and...

Where Sisters Go To Talk

Knowing you as I do,
you entered the room shyly.
Saying nothing, you took a seat
next to your sister.
Then your ear homed in on the speaker. 
You tried not to notice 
some of the ladies paying

All An Illusion

All an illusion


It's all an illusion. 
No matter where I am, I am alway just,
sitting there. Unaware, with a blank stare messy hair
and probably the same clothes that I always wear.
Wrangler jeans, and a button...

Goodnight Liverpool God Bless Sweet Dreams

Oh chestnut candy horse mane
Do your top button up blow the 
red rum fluff away and jump the 
brook

As I find it in the quiet best in-between
when the traffic stops at red lights

The 60's

The 60's
The look was penny loafers, bobby socks,
pleated skirts, button up shirts,
bell bottom pants and headbands
Flower children were also the era, 
Stood for peace and love also political movement

Listen to the music of the Beatles,...

River Washing

River Washing

Dancing by the river
River song

Flowing by the river 
Hula song 
Hula dance 

Washing by the river
Clothes of second hand
Cleaning by the river 
What’s afforded of my hands 


Soapy water and bleach ...

Naked Love

Close your eyes
And come closer
Cause I want to hear your chest breathe
Loose control
Mind, body and soul
Cause I want to feel your heart beat
My lips on your skin
Then kisses to your neck
My arms around your body
Then...

Uncovered

I button up my cardigan
The weather's closing in.
I'm follically challenged,
not my hairline, but my skin..

As the clouds begin to gather
and wind whips up to boot..
I twist my collar skyward..
deploy my bumbershoot.

And so.. I hurry past...

Hey Mom

“Hey, Mom”

Hey, Mom! 
I can’t sleep.
I’ve been awake for hours.
There are dragons at my door.
        “Come crawl in beside me,” She said 
	“I’ll chase them far away.”

Hey, Mom!

An Old Flannel Shirt

An old flannel shirt with two button up the front pockets
Well-worn, soft, in faded colors of greens, reds, and blues.
A touch of green, and some bits of yellow, almost Christmas like.
It was my father’s favorite...

Banging

He's love’s anvil
Banging beauty with propellant power
Bends no ear for mercy--
Body batters tempo hour after hour.

He's love’s anvil
Dashing dreams into the dust
       winds whirl them high

Longest Shirt

I have an old gray button up shirt
Like the cowboys wear with rugged jeans
It fits big and covers me up completely
So that I feel like I’m living uniquely

Olde Expensive

Old Expensive

The snow is falling, so, I button up my head,
above it, Someone’s sound – “above a street lamp”.
Music, leaks in, the lampshade sways,
hanging above a stained in bed;
Freddie gave it all for champagne.
Until, the...

Does your workplace make you wear a uniform 
Because you’re a firefighter, nurse or a cop?
Do you proudly wear your dark blue trousers
With that sexy white button up top?
