Living Dolls
I was a successful, fancy dollmaker, but that had not always been the case,
Such as a case for blossoming romance, when spring is budding everyplace.
For in my inexperienced youth, I had seldom given any undertaking...

A Rich Rhyme
Louis Watson loved well made, toy ships, and had a fine collection,
Since father was a sailor himself. Like aged wind's novel directions.
Louis loved sailing toy ships on Crystal Pond, like gaiety filled youth.
He'd pretend they...

Support
Sometimes one is too self absorbed to support their spouse,
Too focused on themselves that they can't get their head out of the clouds.
Whatever you both do there should be support from each other,
Because what matters...

What Have You Done To Me
Oh what have you done to me,
A city built in the name of Christ.
When an earthquake struck,
Destroying all my pretty clothing
And shaking the flesh off all my bones.
Leaving only my skeletal frame ,
Half submerged...

Cementerio
I've heard it said that if all the people
who ever lived and died, were buried together,
it would fill the size of Spain.

No Flamenco and no Bolero

Slavery's Children
The lines were blurred for prisoners who slaved
in mines or rowed the heavy wooden ships
for years, while overseen by men depraved,
who tormented and drove with leather whips.
As lines were crossed by those who felt no...

Pastrual Quilt
Pastoral Quilt.
A pastoral quilt
Of varied greens
And russet tawny browns
Surveyed by adoring eye
On verge of a hill
High above he ground
The provaling wind
Reddens my cheeks
With a slight bite
And tussles my hair
As I breath in...

Terminal Cancer
Cancer it breaks cancer it takes
It erodes and corrodes body and soul
Lingers and takes hold cant be stopped or controlled
Terminal is with an apparent ending
Loss of hope and no point in pretending

A ludic breeze playfully lurking above miles of glittery sand
A zillion stars out in full bloom commemorating a late June
I remember as if yesterday how you nervously...

We Felt Beloved and Brilliant
Ancient Atlantis was Utopia.
I know for I was a prominent citizen.
We felt loved, revered, respected.
We became complacent, haughty, arrogant.
Our technology was incredibly advanced
Brought to us through our dream states
Thanks to space...

Marriage Made In Heaven
Nowadays,
in the world of disposable marriages
it is great to see someone be together
for more than a few short years.
I’m seeing a trend
where those not married
in church
have a longer
or perpetual relationship.
Do you see that too?

A Sailor Lost
Oh Sleepless night oh Glory be

As winter washes o'er the stones
Your cold caress doth sear my bones
An unfurled sail on straining yard
The banshee howls, its breath bites hard
Tossed from main,...

Snowflurries Swirl
Snowflurries Swirl
Snow falls inside the glass globe:
A swimming, swirling vision
Where four youngsters pose frozen
In their run to leap to a win
For the longest sliding glide
Along an icy, country road
Where no traffic flows;
Near a row...

Home
We all have beginnings somewhere,
a place where the soul first took root
and drew its history, fixed a compass
point, a pin in a map to mark its home.
For me it was here
where the horizon began
