Long Senses reel Poems

In seventy-eight, my steel-stallion, KZ1000, 
   pride, wind in my hair.
Its Sissy Bar, firm tether, bag secured, 
   my wanderlust's prayer.

Sun, snow, wind sculpt my journey's theme, 
   my...

THE KILLING TREE
Come gather children listen well
sit closer now to me
And hear the story I'm to tell 
about the killing tree

I stand high on a mountain top, a lowly being.......yet elevated  in spirit ... reaching

Vision impaired I am....yet I see all things otherwise concealed from the naked...

The sound of baroque  fills the air
the lively beats one can hear 
 as senses reel to music sweet
elves dance  upon imaginary leaves .
The orchestra reaches crescendo
shattering crystals of chandeliers on high
staccatto beats...

I can’t see around the corners 
or what in darkness prevails 
but I hear the thuds and bumps at night 
and the swoosh from the monster’s tail 

I smell the stench of aggressions 
that putrid,...

It used to be that when I closed my eyes
Dandelion wishes of youth would tickle my mind.
Wishes of forever that I never truly grasped....
A dream of true love I never honestly trusted....
A completion of self...

Sorceress, with smile you beckon,
Promised pleasures dark, fulfilling.
Costs, I know, too high to reckon,
Quivering flesh is weak but willing.

Neck to toe in Spanish leather,
Sweet and sultry curves to cover.
“Your soul is lost to me forever”
Softly...

When it comes to fantasy your still my go to man
late at night as my pillow creases from  abuse 
I lay there still and let my senses reel  
with the touch of your...

I gaze upon the candle's flame tonight,
and watch it dance in amber flicker flow,
oh flame of light, my wish I think you know
to see my love beyond the veil of sight.
In age-old whispers mystic's words...

Everything Is Different
But It's All the Same
I Look Around Me Now
And Wonder Who to Blame

You Came into My Life
And Taught Me How to Feel
Just When I Had it Figured out
You Made My Senses Reel

I Learned...

I feel the eternal hand of loneliness descend upon me, pressing me down, I 
must get out lest I drown, the fear grips my throat tight, my reason is gone, where 
is my insight? My...

Like snowflakes on my eyelashes

Like the gentle wind that blows

Like the rustle of leaves on trees

and birds chirping  in  the eaves

You come each day and touch my soul

With fingers warm and light 

And...

SLEEP

Death's dress rehearsal.
Our nightly practice for the end
A compromise to darkness
while we wait for morning's light
The world in all its beauty
then breaks upon our sight

And we partake in living
as our senses reel again
We hear the...

Test of Time


It Has Been a Long Time
Since We Stood and Said "I Do"
I Loved You Then  I Love You Now
My Heart Belongs to You

Today You Sent Me Flowers
They Were Pretty as Can Be
And...

An artists eye
earth brushed by 
endless waves of shapes and color
contrasted variety among objects 
and objectives

awestruck gaze  
though wizened by life 
and death
while senses reel and slacken
as the creative mind is seduced 
by the...
