A Night On A Wharf

The couple decide to walk. The boardwalk still lit at this late hour guides them. They walk hand in hand,..whispering softly with small talk...solemn.,. lonely , yet together. The walk is...

Alas
how they suffer
poverty seeds disease 
like a puddle breeds mosquitoes - 
the sickly buzz is everywhere..

hooded old...

the bane of our small bungalow
she was nasty and mean, at times quite obscene
the worst that you ever could know!

Her garden mate, Gregor, had feared her
but one day he...

Where those words are gathered in paper and ink and bring a cowboys life to the brink
Of wit and charm with a cowboys creed,...

While closing my eyes, I return once again
to an image that nestles at the foot of the mountains
Snow crowns San Jacinto as it shadows the valley
I am there as a child in the house with...

She came dressed in the finest of green
To tell the story of a mighty Queen
Who once lived in the hills and vales
Of a distant land;
Where robust rivers once flowed
And game was plenty.

The night was young, we stood closely, the moment held, we shared a kiss.
His incendiary sunshine smile could melt the polar ice and...

All across the webbed wide esse Scott's wold
emerald green Trifolium
carpets harbor untold
burrows of tiny Leprechauns clover

when strange and eerie shadows creep along the grass;
it sets an indefinable color scheme of yellow green hues
that peek a hidden fear of oncoming night.

The sun slips in...

Violet Jessop, threat ahead
Escaping Poseidon’s death toll’s
“Look after this, will you?” He said
She did, counting down the portholes

First the Olympic’s nurse enrolls
Last, the Britannic’s noon code red

Violet Jessop, threat ahead

Miss Unsinkable...

Reflections on a Wall

From the valley floor
A stone arises,
Straight walls of polished blackness,
In between rolling, grassy knolls
Hidden in their cleft –
Arms open wide,
Welcoming pilgrims
Who in pilgrimage approach
It’s darkened face, 
Burdened by their tears
Written on a...

Take me there, where the daffodils dance,
Preening with joy, flaunting nature’s art,
Where birds have assembled to watch
Sitting atop, prancing from tips of treetops,
Tuning lyrics of cherry blossom prompts,
Strumming rhythms of spring sonata
As crimson tulips, with...

The flame at the end of the way guides us
We’re in twos being careful as not to
Find ourselves outside of this treacherous
Path that we usually walk on, our blues

The walkway doesn’t seem this bad at...

The days are shorter now that Autumn is here
The breezes are cool and the water is cold
Nights are golden, and have a special cheer
The trees all stand firmly, as they are quite old

The breezes are...

By  the  moonlight,  night's  pearly  softness  glowed,

Haeckel and Clyde were twins, you see
Not one much like the other
Doreeane gave birth to both
But each was his own brother

One lives in a mansion
Overlooking grassy hills
The other in a bottle
With his doctors and his...

Wind warrior's chant among proud souls
high in the mountains on grassy knolls
ancient ancestors urging them on
from deep within' their own heart song

The skies ceiling is breakin'
the people have weakened
honor has slipped out the door

Somtimes I get a little lonely
I have tiny little wings planted on my back
I flitter and flutter around the mountainside
I graze over grassy knolls and feel the gentle breeze.

Sometimes though...

Sometimes, my wings they sprout
Into giant...
