through the rolling swells that lap against the hull.
The sound of the droning engine mesmerizes my mind
bringing a dreaminess to this bright cool...

In flickered lamp light 

I waited in a delusional fog for you to return

the firelight flickered encouragement to my wandered waltzing

playing out the melodies in ivory and ebony


but only the white notes rose to my...

"I saw forever in my never,
And I stood outside her 
Heaven..." My Never-Blue October 

Would you give me that endearing look,
That one with glimmer in your eyes,
And the slightly puckered lips?
The involuntary dreaminess permeating from...

Resolute and prepared, yet dubious and unsure
As my feet make their way to the sight they so adore
You brush your hair aside, as the twinkle in your eyes
A charming smile and subtle flush, greet me...

when almond trees blossom and strew petals about in protest
 thinking...

So calm and blue
A cool breeze blowing in from Canada
Blue skies above
The sun making glistening diamonds in the waves

Behind me there is...

the red glow so far away
so close, embraced
the burst of innervated dawn
restraining its awe

the uplift of a lemony-spring
sponge-squeezed from the sudsy sun
the faucet of quiet waters turned off
the aura of a red and white sail...

WOW Do I Love Thee
(with apologies to EBB)

tethered reins roll—
A ragged seam play
On cords unmade.

One evening you're forced to tell a fictitious story
To attract people's...
