The heavens shimmer 
as billowy linen-white gossamer clouds slip away, as soft blossoms open for the sun.

A raw dark, persuaded by rusty leaves
	who break through the hushed prayers,
		vibrant hopes and dreams,
			stirring light that lives beneath the heavens,
	confiding joy, revealing wonders, confessing
		swaying branches, havens
			for hurried squirrels and clever wrens,
cardinals in scarlet cloaks,...

The wonders of our heavenly Father are immense
Some moments that hold the most awe of His presence
Whisper soft intimacies, like a caress against naked skin,
Welcoming joy that comes from the blessed hope
Of a heavenly home...

this barren page, screaming, crying
	yelling through the winds,
		inviting me to begin again,
always, to just begin
	again and again, tempting my pen
tempting me to just begin, begin
	A G A I N

this infertile soil, empty page – white...

Shimmering with beauty

Starry night, fall soft on my heart

Paraphrasing Dickens
speaking of Great Expectations
through Pip's distraining voice,
Our worst religious weaknesses
and political meannesses
and self and other deprivations
are usually committed
for the sake of avoiding elitist people
whom we most actively distrust.

On the other hand,
trust invites vulnerability
as distraining...

Memories, songs, poems filled with light,
Gentlest embrace, softest kiss, trembling grace

Their brushes wet
In a meadow lush with rain drops and dew
Two canvases stand on easels of wood
Two brushes painting a landscape in hues
The sun shining on nature’s ethereal beauty

They shared thoughts and intimacies
Glancing at each...

It has been a night, a deep night gone but not forever.

Having been lost in my own world, the world of imagination. 

Certainly out of this world I wake unwillingly. 

I traverse out of this...

I don't recall all that much talk in locker rooms.
These are typically quiet as reflective libraries
unless involved in team sports.

Then locker room talk may review a well played game,
but, again, those played less fortunately,
less familiarly,

James McKee Rogers

I offer up this epitaph as an ode instead,
An ode of love, affection and gratitude
To Whittier, my true home away from my one true home.
I dedicate this plain and humble song
To...

For us carnal knowledge with intimacies removed
Impressions of beauty are shown without love
Of the importance inside of the heart
A lack of substance right from the start.

The want of a need or the need of a...

He writes His poems in the sun…
Streaming through the trees at dawn.
He pens a beautiful stanza…
When the deer takes graceful flight.
He rhymes the words that we feel…
With more than a sing-song appeal.

Dearest S,

It’s time you learned the truth:
I am deeply, deeply in love with you
And have been since long ago

I’ve sent you flowers
And jewels,
Invited you to parties,
But you never came,
Hardly seemed to notice

I’ve written pages and...

A curve of sky
in a corner cusps a smooth,
thick dusting 

of carrot-mauve hues 
tonight. Drapes over heather
trees 

whose arms 
and hands bend with this drowsy sky
as it starts

to fall asleep-
the cyrean "silk" upon 
which this...

I've known the pain
I've felt the pain
I knew it's intimacies
I've stood right next to it
I knew the years, I've felt the tears
that I thought would ruin it
that led my trail to it
I've known the days
I've...
