Time to Believe

Time slips by as the wind whispers through the trees,
Waving hands fly like the movement of the breeze
And families pray for those they love, all because,
Time gave hope, time restored, welcome home;
Yet every blessing stems...

Borrow Time

A question, a sentence all made since, 
My apologies indeed,1 to the 2,3….
Can you make time a map, 
A man a watch, watching it as a clock slide by, 
Dear fox.
Go seek out a dinner...

Sherman Sheep- Part Two of Bovine One

The sheep in the nearby pasture
Heard what the cows had done
In the building of their rocket ship
And they too wanted one

A few of them shaved for pocket money
Black market wool brings a hefty price
While some...

What Do You Believe

I am going to write a poem about what do you believe
I believe there is fairy tale
The fairy tale that is written in heaven
The kind that one can only dream of
I believe that it could...

Middle America

I was born in middle America. 
Right in the center of the land of the free.
Raised on stories of fact and of fiction. 						
Told about places I'd never see.
I was taught all about limitations 
But...

Finite

12/5/20

Are you really on the right side?
Drawing a fine line
Very little or a lot of content on the timeline

Sippin' beer, red and white wine
Hard during the night time
It's almost always hightime
Getting sky high

No reason to...

Playing In Time With Lucas

Why don't you play
look the clouds are made of silk today
and there, there in a space of somewhere
a bird I saw dancing in the air
and the sun has so many things to say
all you have...

Lifetime

8/9/21


So quick to judge me and my life
Fast to stab in the back, causing damage by knife
Quick to turn it into fight time
It's pathetic, are they in their right mind?

Is it better to tell the...

The Man In the Mirror Who Stares Back At Me

As I prepare to get started with my day
I get hung up along the way
No matter how hard I try to slide by
This man in the mirror that talks to me
Why does he seem to...

Love Tanka

i

when the sun is erotic
and the moon lyric
the winds turn tempestuous
in the orbit of love
legs slide by calls of nature

ii

you and I alive
in cold winter night feeling
warmth of your body
through erect nipples
after days of abstinence

iii

Being sincere I replied. “you’re coming home so soon?

The Sensual Taste of Chocolate

The sky is covered with a sunburst hue that captivates the eyes
The sun appears to melt into ocean as the waves roll in with the tide

Exasperation Over Expectations

Today’s students strive only to meet expectations
We used to go all out to exceed expectations
Young people have no real goals, just vague destinations
Their minds seem to be set on low-level vibrations
 
Our young people seem...

Pass by slowly O Life

Slide ever so slowly O Life,
I’ve many a debt to meet still,
Many an ache, pain to treat still,
To do some duties discreet still.

Some were upset in daily drill,
Some lost life's bet, some feeling ill,
Those upset,...

Was That Word Buttercup

Poems creep in like spiders, capturing me in web so fair.
Poems slip in like mice, sticky traps holding them in place. 
Poems prance in like majorettes, throwing batons in the air.
Sci-Fi dances around in my...

The River

I can hear the slow
thump and thrash
of a ship's propeller 
churning the dark and see
the sheer black wall
of a hull slide by,
gathering the river in
like a skirt,
then releasing a train
of wakes to run
up banks and...

Time

Time
Stone-faced clock with big black hands
Circling the face time and time again
The second-hand rolls by a recurring space
Never touching the clock with the concrete face
Twenty-four hours slowly slide by
Not to be changed regardless of tries

Venomous Fangs

fang and sharp ones,
with venom fatal,
waiting for sighting prey,
the moment it came in view,
fangs moved in space and time,
the brain controlling movements,
of fangs had a simple motive,
hunger or enemy,
cried the brain tissues,
though it could not...

An Apologetic Prosy

There was a time, when I felt totally undesirable
unjustifiably [I now know] and you being in your infancy
felt so.. un-understood, writhing in a man’s body, seemingly a child
with the heart of a warrior, a man,...
