Your Love Redeemed My Faith In Hope
 

Across the dance floor, your soft sashaying gown flew
with its bright waving gleams of silver dust and blue;
within that blessed gaze, lonesome heart jumped a beat
seeing those golden...

No one in this morning
The road is deserted,
It's too early under the gray sky,

The veins of my hands,
Salient hands on the wheel
The look Elevated

The white line scrolls,
The colored houses, fled,
Since the curves crossed,

Creeks glimpsed,
The white...

Malodorous tavern’s garret, the codger it accommodates, No more,
Fuzzled in brew, his fuzzy lady, her life she lives to abhor.

Randy colleen gape at her with aghast,
Talk around that she has “the dead hands of the...

Snow Song

Tonight, just this once, I need everyone to agree with me
To see what I see, the reality they refuse to believe.
Tonight just once, I need to set the her inside me free,
A note on...

It was the 24th of December and all I can remember
Were we glissade in the snow on a sled before bed
With the tree draped with candy and light’s a glow
We all sat around watching a...

By different lovers I’ve been kept,
some skillful and a few inept.
I always respond, unafraid.
I rather enjoy being played.

A Spaniard picked me up one time.
His classic strumming was sublime.
Notes poured from me like a cascade.
I rather...

I'm blessed to have landed in mother's quilted arm.
To romp in a sandbox with other blessed hearts.
I'm blessed to have a gentle souled father.
Who dusted off a cluster of first heartaches.
Pulled me firmly up from...

A Jim-Jam Mickey-Mouse Poem

A poem as weird as this might be
For I’ll use luscious words
That otherwise might sound absurd
This poem may turn out silly-sally
Or even a bit dillydally
In hindsight...

Which swiftly flew past me,
In my little shoes I chased it
Thinking that an adventure this will be.

They floated,all purple against the sky
With no obstacles to block their way,

CENSORSHIP

There is a language I spoke and I knew.  
It fluently told it's stories in dance.  
Graceful chaînes that turned our spirits out 
and razor sissones to cut with candor.  
There is...

Opening the doors to 
the old studio I find
A playful capriole 
sprinted across my mind

Into a sashay and a glissade
 I drifted back
I could hear the teachers
 stick go tap.tap.tap

Once a prestigious ballet

There is such light...

The ivory hue
of the dove-colored rain- cloud 
as it hovers; 

the opaque glitter 
of the sunlight as the rain-
drops are shaken 

off of leaves 
after the rainfall. The light
emerging 

as storm-clouds 
glissade...

the flutter of little wings
pulsating in a windless dusk
as i watch the setting sun
glissade across the florid sky
its cerise glow reflecting prismatic
burst of colors on this little bird
as it sips the last of nectar
before darkness...

Leaves fall in the Fall.
Leaves flump in the Downtick.
Leaves flop in the Glide.
Leaves founder in the Comedown.

Leaves descend and drop in the Tumble.
Leaves nosedive and lurch in the Downflow.
Leaves pitch and capsize in the Forced...
