When the clanging alarm startled him to reality
The clear images fading like a burning photograph
Then, a desperate sense of unrecoverable loss

Lying on a couch,...

ROHRBACH CAFE

Intimacy.

A place
of shared warmth, an atmosphere of muted shadows and candlelight,
where
emotions, profoundly sincere,
softly glow,
flare,
then wane
until, fully consumed, they are dimmed
and gentled
by intrinsic breezes of serenity.

A cafe
of quiet murmers, hushed revelations
among tables close,
but afar,
where
evening lit...

Our God who lives, flows in waters,
drifts in clouds and glows in snow,
flashes silver fish in shallows,

blooms afresh as showers bring flowers,	
freshens scent for bugs and bees.	
Here we live together...

Between each limping breath
the sky pulsates blanched green searing,
each day inspired by gray blight, each day
the firmament harbors dense, blazing energy,
a circus troupe of skyward lungs hacking up 
the essential thoughts of Winter.
Heads of hail...

Divorced and tossed aside
the kittens dragged along 
for a very bumpy ride.

You've gained some weight but are sinking.
2 days a week seeing a second hand shrink.
They paint so slowly-tell you pretty things

when the night fills the sky, I’ll then feel at home,

Summer stands for beaches, parks, and camping.
In June most flowers will be in full bloom,  
Zinnias, Begonias, and sweet-scented
Zenobia share every color, while
Lavender freshens the air with each breeze. 
In July, a thirsty sun...

Are my Last Legs in Sight?

Are my ‘Last Legs’ in Sight?

My time’s ‘last legs?’ Are knees (or some cylinders knocking)?

RAINY SEASON

    Thunderbolts roar, gust thrusts, cloud melts, rain showers
     Plants bathe with branches, leaves, fruits and flowers.

When the summer breeze comes along my way,
It freshens me up and makes me to sway,
Gently, I feel like dancing and swinging,
Soft, this summer breeze makes me go singing...

	Chorus:

	Summer breeze, gentle breeze,
	All my languishing flees,
	Summer...

Baby, listen to this beat!
 It’s a song to remember…
It’s a song of our story…
A chill that freshens our hearts,
A melody that won’t set us apart

Coz it’s our love song…
Turning all radios on.
Our love song…
Tuning...

buttery beads of color seeping away exterior fears
an unfinished work of art starting to take shape
each stroke of freshly lathered walls freshens away the hate
edged canvases rich in luxurious motif:

Promising fragrant notes to ponder
Fiery stains of red passion tattooed 
Whistling breeze freshens her view

As the sun dips low into a haze,
A gentle breeze blows & tickles my face,

Dear flowers,
You carry special powers.

Earth Scope

As verdant mountains overlook the sea
And sunrise plays with shadows in the morn,
Joy fills my spirit with tranquility
Though clouds begin to threaten with a storm.

When sunlight filters through the pewter mist
And rain freshens flora...

Colours of rainbow

Clouds when veil the mighty sun,
Morning seems so dull and wet,
Rainy day can be much fun,
Joy that tiny drops beget,

Colourful umbs run on roads,
Footpath forgets carefree walk,
Evening croak of frogs and toads,
Resting calm...

Popcorn, whipped cream, milk, cream of wheat
She is pure and innocent, fresh, and comfortable
I am honored to know her.
