Two new residents were due in town, on the noon train from Santa Fe
William (Bill) and Sara Baker, both renowned as skilled...

Holographic
Pieces make

Up, what become pieces of ourselves,
that run in circles, like little elves,

playing with bits and pieces of others
as we incorporate parts- be they brothers

our sisters, our fathers our mothers
aunts and uncles - that in...

I was an eminent, solar physicist, like the blushing rose, craving renown.
Each butterscotch morning I drove to work, and toiled until red sundown.

The observatory was the place I loved, keeping watch on our nearest star;
Like...

One cold day whilst I was out in the snow 
I went into a cafe for a Joe
I slipped across floor 
And got an encore

For me the whole universe is a stage
The past, the present, the future, every people, every age
I ride on the wings of my imaginations and they take me to my next place
I can write on...

I've got a million reasons to live
I've got a million smiles I've hid.
I know a little place in the sun
I know it ain't good to run.
Save the man who saves the world
Give that man a...

The first drop,
and each one after,
merge in a cluster of blissful storms 
Flourescent 
dreams lie in wait
for every rising degree of fervour

Scattered
sunshine ceases to blind compelling faith 
Smiles prosper like figs
And the unremitting truth is
rooted...

How many years did I plant
 dig and dig up again and silently rant
where a flower placed here, should be moved from here to there
 at first, not well planning where 
this one or that...

Tears reunite with my cheeks once again
Just as the dark clouds above start to rain
It Felt as if God was their crying with me
I felt he was close yet my eyes couldn’t see

There’s endless miles of golden sandy beaches
Sparkling aqua waters as far as the eye can see
Gods and Goddesses frolic au naturel down under
Here’s where Heaven shines her light down on me

If you foolishly swim between...

MY
PLACE IN THE SUN


a life without
giving is a life not
worth living in
truth my mother was
right,
but a life in a home
unsafe and alone was

sight.
upon considerable
reflection their
abuse and rejection
made absolutely no
sense,
but being a...

Here we are, at the edge of the universe.  
Let us praise that we are alive. 
  
Through the maze of this mausoleum, 
Pass the gaze of the singular coliseum; I’m amazed that...

No Primus Inter Pares

Germans at the Costa Brava they just cannot yield
‘Brava’ the fight and they are conquering once more

He sought to find me once 
He succeeded
Thirteen years had passed since the attack
Why is it that you seek me?
Reluctantly I asked
His answer
"Because people get older and wiser and whatever you believe may have happened...

When does the Torch of Love begin or end,
Everyone is born with one as I comprehend.
Love and kindness walk hand in hand together,
Enduring good and hard times come whatever.

When a babe is born it needs...

Deeply Scarred 



Oh it must be nice  
To be alone with your thoughts at night 

There’s something there
A quiet noise 
Beyond a point in the distance 
Of knowing
Of condition 
Mocking my existence 

Can’t put...

Maybe a bird

Stagnate and panning the landscape

Endings or beginnings, there's reason for change
circling around me, are seasons, rearranged
As we say farewell to our place in the sun
Goodbye to our cove on the beach and the fun,

caught head to toe in throes of woe
