“Get out of bed!” Hell, I’m old enough to have more sense  
spending half my day behind me shed, 
cursing that lesson never learnt from past experience.

Smokey hillside, offers flavors 
of privacy bared open.
Reading like futuristic three, 
maybe fourth dimensional sign

She corrals Betty's...

There are rules, one must follow
For any event, to maintain decorum
Religion and Politics are forbidden
No matter the event, venue or forum

You may, however, invite a representative
One in the know, but no passion allowed
No one mousy,...

Lovely Liz

With pen and paper I write, spilled blood upon notions of things wanted and so damn far away.
We secretly abated love and you became my wish to behold. I wanted you. To taste your...

Make love to me with
your poem, your poetry.
Flow slowly do not rush it.
not so fast.
Let your words last.
Stroke me slowly
Put your back into it.

She moves her body with a sexual tempo, slow and easy does it   
She’s on the corner every night, dressed in next to nothing; skimpily clad

I Would like to Have Someone,
Tell Me it Will Be Okay,
Just Take it Slow and Easy,
And Try to Get Through Each Day.

And Invade Me While I Sleep.
Flash Backs and Deep Dark...

like cabbage and green beans
Add a little bacon grease
watch the kids lick their plate...

rolling slow and easy on a sunset path,
their droning engines chugging

an egret sets its white sails and glides upwards
upon hot winds.

Mindful eye
Playful heart
First lowers vibration 
Slow and easy
There’s no hurry
Feeling each sensation
Being the director
As also actor
Of this dream sequence 

Who else but we

Upon screen of consciousness 
Becoming that
Which we are not
Yet dwelling...

     in one hour;

You inspire the...

For time is running out
I’ve moved
Too far . . .
Too fast . . .
In the corridors of time.

. . . Swiftly . . .

I’ve run by the side roads
Leading to slow and easy...

Let's go somewhere where time goes slow
Let's walk a shoreline to and fro
Let's count the stars off one by one
And never count on being done
For that's the point, to always be
Counting stars off, you and...
