and went outdoors to exercise 
I jogged around the circle for a while
and  observed  a few things happening outside
A pickup truck parked on the edge...

The chilled musky air torments the aging Saxon stone;
whistling through the aisles, the sound reverberating
as it sweeps along the colonnade.
Moonlight penetrates ancient glass stained windows,
initiating reflected shadows, as an innocent mind pulsates tempestuously,
he who was...

INNER SANCTUM

The eyes reveal a man’s inner world
Laying bare his demons 
Those who seek to know him better
May glimpse the truths he guards 
Carefully within

Illuminating what he feels he must hide 
The eyes  
Drag...

The smell of either soil or concrete after the rain is breathtaking
The sight of the sky and the birds on a warm day is amazing 
The sound of the wind blowing dry leaves is astonishing...

I hope you smile, when you remember me. 
Once a fleeting while, a thought of what could be. 
I don’t mind the pain, a dulling sense of being. 
Omnipotence to gain, yet a constant thought...

Early March, warm sunshine entices out
Numerous hidden sprig formed new leaves
From tree bark's yielding grey/brown seeping grout
encrusted branches stirring overhead
A Springtime environment conducive
For chattering chaffinchs' in their twos
Comes helpmate so eagerly to show
In nest mating...

A cacophony of thoughts swirls in my confused mind.
Yesterday was quiet and peaceful, everything moving
on well-oiled rails.  Suddenly the train of memories 
accelerated and now things will never be as before.

A letter came from...

THE CREATION OF POETRY
 
From deep inside simmering and covered 
with fragrant sauce, an imaginative dish will 
sometimes bubble up. 

I cover it with clever condiments, taste for flavor 
and serve it with anticipatory delight.
Afterwards,...

"Pandora's Jar" or better 
known as Pandora's box
Did you not hear what vile
things her curiosity unlocked?

Ghostly forms and evils not yet 
known to mankind.
Much like Eve eating from the forbidden
fruit that tempestuously hung from a...

When Passion overwhelms



Passion my weakness that tends to overpower,
as if I am living only to nurture love and hover?
Logical thoughts beating and buzzing in head,
my biggest strength, words are better unsaid !
Heart full of love...

The Autumn tree has shed its very last leaves,
Standing now barren its loss it still grieves.
Brisk winds carry the leaves of red and gold,
Rising like a vortex the tree shivers from cold.

The Autumn tree is...

Tonight the shore is pounded by the fretful, roiling surf, 
dark clouds tempestuously race across a yellow moon; 
the ocean's breast heaves a heaviness of bitter tears   
flinging gray shadowed sobs against silent,...

Relationships

Waiting to hear
Just a word,
And a long
Day's wait,
One glimpse
And sun will rise,
Longing to meet
Maybe few minutes,
What a relationship?

Soul to soul 
My dear friend,
A life's play
Even if you betray,
Fine perspective 
If you are receptive,
Time is running...

Through my joys and bounds of strife,
Will it happen not or will it be,
That he proposes to marry me ?

The first day as our eyes carved,
For togetherness as if...
