Believe It Or What
He doesn’t have to prove anything to me. The Holy Spirit, that is. I’ve always known He’s there, from childhood on, even if I ignored Him for many years. But like others growing older, I...

Ok Lets Go With This

To Be Like Eliot
My faithful quill recumbent
Motionless
Stark against the virgin parchment posed upon my desk
The peeping moon breaks through grimy windows
Mocking me as the mantel clock chimes the cheerless Midnight
Another day laid to waste
The poet’s canvas unblemished
Harmonizing with...

Part Two: Escape From Pandemic
I wave vaguely toward a boat in the distance, but
can't think of what I would say if they invited me on board.
"That seems excessive kindness," I say, but a voice laughs in my head,
"Yeah, but...

Setting a Place Apart
The shaded lane leads to the estuary
and mud banks sculpted by the constant sea,
expose their drying backs beneath the sun
before once more in ebb and flow are gone.
Over a sty a path leads from...

Peristalsis of Darkness
Recumbent, crippled: a conscious corpse
Life calling for me to follow
Mentality, it warps
Why does my skull feel hollow?
As I wait for the shadows to fall down, to swallow
Emotions exhaust; they yawn, they...

Night
If you would only look out,
you would see the star-studded sky and a
swooning sickle moon, and down below
a fleet of quiet snails sailing gently over
lawns scented with newly cut grass.
You...

Broken Time In Pieces
Time passed away in the dark,
the bedside clock fell silent
it was never much of a talker.
Below the curtained window
snow had numbed the night,
ill at ease my body stretched
as if seeking a way out of its...

Falling For the Second Time
Falling For The Second Time
Did I just fall again
Took a tumble down
I think I did
The satin brown red
And left a burglar mark
Of impassioned fingerprints
And disheveled my breath
Did I once come up for air
From under...

The Creation of Man
Astonishing power poised,
For the creature on the hilltop.
A sublime...robust arm reaches,
To a feebly...outstretched drooping limb.
A curve of force,
Outlines the arrival of God...as a cloud.
Opposed to the weary expressions of life,
And human lassitude of dust.
A lifeless...

Blotting Paper
Such as blotting paper
We absorb everything:
Sunrise, darkness,
Roses, thorns,
Bitterness, Basil
Lightning’s, thunders
Ravens, Snakes,
Worms under the bark,
The bark and roots,
We absorb
Bread and salt,
Plague, dust, ash, tar,
Wound and the fire...

Weep the Willow She
Weep The Willow She
Bark and Willow
Weeps she to raining
Poses curtained shadows
Behind the water fall of slim leaven branchings
Underneath recumbent grass
Damp on cold spatters
Spreading stains water logged
An unremitting drop of rain
Shaken to drips from the...

Before the Petals Fall
BEFORE THE PETALS FALL
Fragrance beyond perfume
An intoxicating beauteous bloom
Kissable touchable tender lips
Numberless pert petal tips -
As scented wavelets pause
Mid sea and shores -

Death
Death dug deep, satiated by the leave,
Clover leaf fell from its tree of normality,
Not touching it, I cogently allowed it to occupy,
That location it did choose for my morose dirge.

Lo Sea End-O
Alas my love my dying day
Will bring sweet whispers to my grave
Recumbent in your evil snare
Snakes will tempt you, strip you bare
Careful now with tender lips
They will persuade those dormant hips
To move in places dark...

The Yawp
See the recumbent lion,
it yawns, mouth stretched open
a wide silence – he is not tired,
just philosophically bored.
It is a yawp
as much as the startled jaw
of a newborn kitten
is a visible caricature of surprise
for having arrived...
