Soon the sun will shine
Through the east facing blinds
I haven't worked in seven months
Yet, I rise every day before him
And write a poem or two

The ceiling fan wobbles
Finches, sparrows and a cooing dove
Greet the dawn
Sweet...

Here Lies Bob



Have you heard the sad, sad story,
Of this man in all his glory?
He said that he would never wed,
Now, too soon, he is dead.

No wife to cry, no kids either,
From this life, he...

Let the paper be a canvas and the pen, a brush
The words fill  the mind like a young girl’s blush
Every color on the palette of the imagination
Becomes a vibrant idea of luscious creation

Alone  the bones of the room bear no weight 
of responsibility nor does it bare its breast of secrets

My grandpa's fast at work carving a wooden mouse
In the spirit of St. Nick he bloomed from his heart
And sang holiday cheers and Noel's  from...

He came each day, when the sun showed noon,
Two heels in a plastic bag-
Thermos of hot tea
To have lunch and 
Read passages to the yellow birds-
Usually an hour, til they took flight.

But today the bench...

He swam his pure mode onto the freeway,
At the crash of midnight, under a dull ray,
It's as if it's a rolling trip of a sound move,
He chased a vast owl overhead and flew away.

Chances and choices to taste
Chances and choices to blow and throw
Chances and choices to invest or waste

Quick-witted, untamed, and carefree.
Earth, air, fire, and water—nothing scares me.
Every species is waltzing in an epic symphony.
A maze within a five-pointed star is a mystery.

We launch into the sky in a zigzag path.
Our limbs plead...

The celestial mists reveal 
Something surreal
Stars with thousands of kaleidoscopic shapes that any illness can heal
Beautiful and mesmerizing to the soul they appeal

Through porcelain skies thunder will cruse
Painting the sky with wider range of hues

Fall leaves tumble to their slipshod decay,
oozing from the crowns of tedious trees.
A mephitic scrunch with their latter sway,
as they are raked into wide whisking seas.

Coral-hued yew berries grace the yard's path,
late hollyhocks, and sunflowers...
