Zeitgeist
competing cousins, interbreeding homo-sapiens
hominins humming mostly human song
altruistic generalisers, ever close to dying ways
opportunistic, never staying long
self-aware, inquisitive, enlarging brains, empathising
real representative intelligence

The direct path
In the void soul takes a consciousness leap
but to get there we must leave mind behind,
whence in staid stillness thus, we go in deep,
becoming over time, divine aligned.
Love the litmus test for thought, word and...

The Secret Lives of Chimney Pots Iii
Marching out of the cloaked shires
Of landowners, stockbrokers,
Hereditary Peers, and ruddy faced
Squires:
A vast multitude of many varied
Tribes.
Amassing in the great cities, where,
Inhabiting shadowy chambers,
Behind nodding sighs and hushed
Whispers,
The Masonic...

branching like rivers of lightning
all at once one at a time

To Isolde, a Gift - If Only You'll Be Mine
You asked me for a dance one night, ’twas late one New Year’s Eve,

Kindness
Glimpsed in the heart
Who smiles its promise, genuine
Hope, inspiring a lightness
Resembling the dreams of a life
Who sees the good, stirs grace
With gentleness, abiding sweet
Across the spirit, through the wish
Love overflowing – enthusiastic, a vision
Glistening in...

How Sweet It Is: The Word of God
Awesomely sweet is God’s Word* to my soul
Benefiting beyond Milky Way’s role
Curbing cravings for Charleston Chew pleasure
Delightful dainty more than Dove for sure
Enriched with wisdom, not of Smarties load
Fortified to triumph along Rocky Road.

Mr. Lopez and Mr. Ayers
I flip the history of Bojangles
On a cool Sunday evening
Los Angeles coming down
A flow of oboes breathing
Through the lung of the street
The hobo not stopping for air
Fingers moving in a dance
Across the strings of consciousness
Milking...

The Lusitania (Part Two)
Explosions rock the boat;
Ocean gushes inside.
The battered stern won't float,
All controls lock their slide.
Listing fifteen degrees,
The lifeboats fail to launch.
Swift decent lugs a squeeze
Impossible to staunch.
After mounting seconds
The vessel starts to slow,
While the stark deep...

Shooting Sixty Four Rapids In the Time Stream

Wood Burning Stove Weather
While outside nor'easter
howls like banshees
vents temperature dips
into low double digits
fire breathing friendly

cockles and muscles
atavistic visitations hover
brushes within subconscious
purring, mew zing catacombs

Escapism
Taste remorse bleeding from my lips,
Feel the pain of my dreams unleashed.
Shooting stars struggle to eclipse
One last flash of a perfect wish.
Make the way with me,
Help my spirit flee,
Set my soul free,
It is smothered.

The Medicine Man
THE MEDICINE MAN
When I was a girl,
We lived way out back,
In the swamplands where life,
Was hard but no lack,
Of love and good humor,
And inventive fun,
We were tired but happy,
When day was done.
One evening my uncles,
Were...

When Scorpio Goes Dark
Antares' red glow bears firmly down
upon plush, chartreuse carpet
lying prone against the obsidian expanse,
blanketing sections of a remote
blue sphere, purling,
spinning helplessly
through distant time and space;
slave to routine and rotation,
never daring to break free;...

Shooting Rapids In the Time Stream
Steady rain swirled, pooled,
and eddied around rolled
up pant legs skinny ankles, which
immediately felt cold
before undertow willingly
steadily, and nimbly pulled this former
ace swimmer into watery fold
quelling, relinquishing, and taking
my hard won mettle of gold
earned early in...

Tales of the Tempest
Life's Tempests
We ride the waves of innocence
on the ocean of The Now.
From the depths of dank
the evil stalks our bow.
It's little that we can do
to keep all our decks so clear.
For in our minds as...
