The terminus changed, ever - roads twisting to fit your desires
And in those passages, the courses and quests that measured ... us
I, the ONLY I,...

Encounter Down the Forest Way
I wandered down the forest way
out into clearing bright
flowers wild in breezes sway
burnished in the noon day light

drowsy from the heat I stray
beneath a drooping limb
above I hear a scolding jay
as weary eyes go dim

I...

A gift to our country from France, she 
stands majestically in New York Harbor, 
an icon of freedom and this country.
			
Her importance is not new,
yet our nation remains in awe of her.
She exists because long...

Extremities
Extremities exist..
There is injustice..
In all walks of life..
Different continents of the planet..


Widespread poverty on the planet..
Of which there is widespread wealth..
Often at times 
We wonder..
Feast or famine..
Why is it so?

Crying babies..
Malnutrition occurs..
Starvation in masses
Mothers feeble...

Despite Their Pocketful of Promises
If you come to my occasion
Maybe birthday or dedication
You'll be to me like a red rag to a bull
Asking for rice knowing the price of a bagful

Our common and daily food
Is becoming an august food
Either...

Feast Or Famine
Passionate kisses fall upon my hungry lips, 
As loving hands, caress my cheeks. 

Knowing eyes look deep into my soul, 
Searching for my innocence 
That wanders lost and starving 
Inside my darkness.  

Soothing words...

Forever is a long time
To forever live without the one you love
Forever sees all but is blind
To watch your love slowly die
What is death but life anew
To fly to places you can't conceive
What is life...

Premium Member Watering the Garden of Dreams
taciturn springs rising
from within the quarry 
of deep earth's wisdom
urging lyrical waters to transpose
while held like singing seas of living reveries
of history and infinity
misting to meld with rainfall dreams
Falling like ancient messages
into the orchard of...

A taste of sun upon my tongue
a lick of stars inside my maw

Before you walk away  listen to...

Now in the shadow of the moons' bright light

Have it all somehow that...

Premium Member Shhhhhhh Listen
Shhhhhhh, listen very carefully
D'ya hear that happy sound
The corn is high five-ing each other
The rain's finally pounding down

After a record hot dry summer
Getting buckets of that miracle stuff
The grass is giggling just like the corn

One Moment
One Moment

Never meant to happen
Yet always planned for
When two of Olympus’ greatest
Apollo and Selene come together
Meeting above our Earthly plain
To look down on the lands below
Deciding our fate for the year
Whether it will be...

Freedom
We have struggled through
mud, slime, feast and famine
to gain this human form

The animals swimming, crawling
hopping, pouncing, flying, galloping
inside of us

Vestiges of the past that try to
claw and growl their way toward
the surface of our consciousness
