“Son”...”say goodnight to grandpa”

Spurred by mother dearest 
as well as other politesse
drummed into her second born
fobbing blandishments as incentive
tumbled off fingers of prodigal son
tripped wordsmith to splutter forth
forthwith the following lines.

Back in the day

These chariots, for another moment, for another day, coming, to prepare the way
As leviathan called to Venus, and Mar's smile, fell
From the hand of God, who's eyes like fire, burned
Glaring at the evils twisted smirk,...

cows, calves, goats run away dancing


rain comes and wets nature

with comically large scissors
and heads near severed

How mysteriously mythical
And mystical you look
Magnificently minute 
Maritime majestic migrants
More than marginally manic
Mesmerizing meanderers
Masterpieces

Upright and elegant
In your mannerly march

Moonstruck prone to 
Misfortunes and misadventures
Oft mostly monologuing 
In monotonous...

As autumns of dear life, I endeavor to face,
Reminiscing in springs, memories I retrace;
Cognizant that splendor of seasons will end,
Seeking amends, life’s goodwill I befriend;

Resolving to shed grimness trapped in yore,
Discarding grievances, hatefulness I abhor,
Filling...

In my dream - I believed that to be true,

Dedication to my first and last love, Lance Ewens, 1979-2006

She's remembering
The day that she fell for him
It was in Autumn
When she first transfixed her eyes
Upon the most gorgeous face
That she'd ever seen
He smiled at her...

Oh, spring of laughter, spring of cheer.
How glad I am to see you here.
Your skies are eyes of blue that smile;
your lilacs and fresh air beguile.
And glee, your tenor, greets my ear.

With twittering, sweet birds...
