Summer meant playing with cousins
Until the fireflies started to dance and glide
Soaring just beyond our small hands
And, then, sometimes reaching the end
Of a journey inside a Mason jar

Summer meant riding with the window down

Old-School Gentleman's Club
A pool table lined with blue felt
sports a lively, raucous game,
ivory cracks, the men drink,
shoot the bull while they play.

A humidor lined in fine wood
stocked with Cuban cigars,
a smoking lounge grandiose,
ceiling painted like the stars.

All Crushed
Was round about the 60's
And I a budding teen
Was influenced and touched
By a program I had seen

Of a series quite well known
With weekly visits to a world
Named the "Twilight Zone"

And to...

Gather in a large closet up in the attic,

Untouched for years   as I scan the heap
Of treasures accumulated: a prom's corsage

The bell denotes my presence and I breathe in all the must,
The old man sits amidst his books himself covered in dust.
I glance around -

Into the Void
Paperbacks tell the tales 
Of those lost in time
They occupy your intellect
You slowly waste your mind
Like television and internet
There are worse ways to unwind
Judgement comes from all around
Plentiful rumours are abound
Dig deeper into the manuscript
You'll...

Out of the bowels of the apartment come 
the trivia of the past.

Old receipts pushed to the backs of drawers,

An urge to roam among fays and lords,
With visions of despair or triumph
Knowing insomnia is the nemesis;

i could fall asleep
if i could just
get past all of the words.

when you're already
in bed & naked
or on the toilet

she comes without knocking
on days i can't
even find a pen.

Physicality of a Book
Books line my bookshelves, dog-eared with love.
Hardcovers, paperbacks and a few leather-bounds.
Some classics, some romances and poetry abound.
Rummaging in used bookstores plays out in my mind.
I'm always seeking out those special finds.

I'm drawn to the...

Premium Member Paperbacks and Gluttony

I’ve read too many
Words – adjectives and adverbs
Poetry and prose
Both delicious with color
And captivating with feeling
Like music, they have charmed me
My mind absorbs their excuses
Benefiting from their reasons
Justifications that count
