The Day I Met You

I hear you in the music that once was 
 noted with affection, like a flower linger 
 that once was; 
 Close to my remote that song clung to destiny
 fate and other things, half strewn
 along the way;

 Come what may 
 I will always remember
 the song that was playing 
 the day you danced me in 

 I hear you in the sound of the waves, 
 as they crash against the shore and are no more 
 close to my heart you will always be, my love 
 fortune played its role, sadness took its tole 

but despite the distance, 
 I will always remember the song they were playing 
 the day I met you, 
 the day you danced me in.

Squatter pulse rates purvey hoarder rain,
Blood drips, heaving, flipping the veins hole.
Shaping an abyss in your nearest chain,
In the dusk, you can hear raindrops on the tole.

Blood drips, heaving, flipping the veins hole,
You expect a reply as you hear and embrace.
In the dusk, we can hear driblets on the tole,
You sink into the gloom with its tune chase.

You expect a reply as you hear and embrace,
In the water, we will be exposing gaps of refuge.
You sink into the gloom with its tune chase,
In the gaps amid hurried swing and deluge. 

In the water, we will be exposing gaps of refuge, 
Blue and silver waves echo in the bland brine.
In the gaps amid hurried swing and deluge,
Painful and subtle, disclose an anxious whine.

Blue and silver waves echo in the bland brine,
We can spot underlying stream dysmorphia. 
Painful and subtle, disclose an anxious whine,
Under the decent ripples of life lies dyspraxia.

We can spot underlying stream dysmorphia,
Shaping an abyss in your nearest chain.
Under the decent ripples of life lies dyspraxia,
Squatter pulse rates purvey hoarder rain.

In The Holy Spirit

Asked about
his gender
The Son
says “NO”

“I created
them solely
for procreation
to flow

“The love child
of Mary
and My Father
on high

“I purpose
them both
my Holy Spirit
— alive”

********



Never

Living to the max
the writing comes easy

(BUT)

You’ll never live easy
— and write to the max

********

The Temptress

The Divine Tyranny
of Art
Whose anguished temptation
 forever imparts

It grows in your spirit
while taking its tole
And leaves you abandoned
¬ — alone unconsoled 

********

Come Rocinante

He was a pilgrim
in defense of a shrine
That doesn’t exist
a mirage in the wind

A new Don Quixote
tilting at windmills
His gaze but a portal
— to the fire within

Mary

A moment in time frozen in my mind 
a younger you standing at the cusp of summer 
Wind in your hair, light in your eyes  
that rippling laughter that gave itself away 
to me, ...
Beneath two loving arms fleshy dough rose  
as we gathered in the kitchen and spoke... 
How I long today to hear your voice again, 
while those busy hands showed me how 
to knead and gather, your heart was full 
of say...
Time has taken away your health, today 
I wish I could stop the hour glass from sifting 
ALS has taken its tole on you, Mary 
bit by bit it is taking you away, from those you love 
Oh how i wish that you could stay, 
for forever and a day...
Frozen in my mind, like you were yesterday !

In an expanse full of vibrant marvels, I roam.
A restless poet soul, aiming for a spot to call home.
Amid storms and destiny's unremitting draw.
I sustain to propel upward, my spirit strong flaw. 

Stand shoulder close by with the towering trees.
I still sway, in sequence states of sublime sleaze. 
Having both a zesty sanity and a nexus soul.
I am a lover of tales and contemporary tole. 

At a wooden desk, wrapped with trepidation.
I reveal the enigmas unveiled in my orientation.
Salvaged from time, akin to riches of the past.
I dabble with words, trying to craft a story to last. 

In frostbitten palms, emotions nestling deep, 
I decry solace in the icy promises they keep.
Quenched by the whispers of wind and icy breath,
I let my thoughts wander, defying death. 

Inside my mind, a world unfolds,
Where stories are told and destinies are bold.
With each word written, a new chapter unfurls 
As the wanderer's tale takes flight and twirls.

Through wooden limbs and ancient lore,
I paint a canvas of emotions galore.
From the storms of passion to the calm of peace,
Every word I write, every line I release, 

Carries the essence of my wandering soul,
A tapestry of longing, of life's intricate toll.
For in the words I weave, my spirit finds release,
And the wanderer's tale finds its eternal peace.

Premium Member Gushing Destruction

As the oil gushes freely from the hole
The ocean currents disperse it abroad
Fish, birds all sea creatures await tole
This time the tole awaits for thee and all

No just sealife, waterfoul, oysters, clams
This could mean less food on our grocer's shelf
Of course, there will be biscuits, even jam
But what about fish, oysters fried by a chef

As that oily sustance keeps spreading
All around the Gulf who's to say where will stop
It could bounce all around the globe
Might take a year or two but who even knows

That oil might slip into that slow boat to China
On the submarine in the deepest ocean
Maybe get on your bassboat moored under oak tree
As the cooing Dove calls to me how long 'twill be

When the end will come no one knows
This could be the start of those woes
Spoken of in Revelations when one-third
Of the sea creatures meet their destruction
