Long Tunefully Poems

To prepare for final cosmic breath
exhaled

echoing first breath
inhaling
waiting to exhale

silent sacred pause 
for Earth's final soliloquy 

Terminating all humane
and inhumane futures,
healthy
and disturbing relationships,
elegantly excruciating ecstasy

Leaving hell
without receiving Heaven

Surrendering commitments
to health
and lack thereof

Future obligations
and past assets

Resigning...

Eye cannot envision not wearing glasses

Ever since second grade
an ever stronger prescription
for nearsightedness donned my countenance,
cuz myopia (inherited courtesy
both parents) rendered me 'As Blind as a Bat' .

For some reason,
I wanted side arms
that wrapped behind...

In Memoriam Quietly Always Close

Are they whispers, then, settling
So gently upon that slightest breeze wending
     Over the granite crosses and statues of cradling angels,
     Which stand in...

Your footprints are obvious at Christmas time, 
In the snow, their size and their angle, 
Which puts in the back of your mind, 
Where you’ve been, your life’s history and tangle. 

Becoming a question to...

In a black and white world,
feathered fingertips caress
ebony and ivory keys -
melodically forming a myriad
of vibrant and vivid hues, 
diversifying dulcet emotive reflections.

In a world of spoken falsehood,
expressions that cannot be spoken,
aid each truthful touch...

Amidst the budding
branches the Robin sings, the song is
carried tunefully in the spring air.
denoting that all is well in his world
Every sound listened to by all
from tiny field mice scurrying looking for food. to the
giant...

A suave gaze, woolly texture, embellished its gaiety gesture
The charmeuse moon, perched like a napping heavenly dove,
Clothed by swarms of floating stars, glazing its snowy allure,
Glimpses from immortality’s repose, a peek into celestial treasure trove,
Cashmere...

Cool wind whispers on the breeze
Shimmering sunshine warms the autumn leaves
Dragonflies dance over a sparkling lake
Slithering silently is a sleepy snake
Beauty surrounds, just open your eyes
Embrace our world, its simply paradise

Blackbirds sing a sweet song
Tunefully...

Pristine and Pure

The winding road led to a chasm deep
below a cliff that proudly shows the view...
a silken, blue-green lake, lays like a gem
of opulence embedded in the rim
of tall, lush evergreens that now adorn
the...

as a fiddler
plays on 
his fiddle
sweeping tunes
fills the air
enchanting waves
with magical kisses
cries out in song
sweet love

echoes deeply swimming
within an ocean blue
breaking foam
white upon the rocks
air filled mist
in deep soft texture
eyes sparkling
salted emotions

wavering shapes
little waves 
dancing...

The Bumble Bee

		Value the industrious bumble bee
		Working all of the teeming daylight hours.
		Fertilising crops for you and for me,
		Taking pollen from the sunlit flowers.
		Flying on the season's warm, scented breeze
		Unlikely pilot of the summer sky.
		Your...

The roiling river rapidly ground to an oar

Cruising southwards to LA from Sac
a midnight filled with songs ‘n Luna, 
light-etching hills in a black infernal…

It was a leviathan’s back on which I
felt the tires unrolling a chilled grief ~

Owlish-full, a hypnotic moon,...

Reach Out
In sailing the fastest tack is a broad reach,
Sails both billowing and bird's wings,
Wind pushing, lifting, hull raising to plane screech,
Physical Therapy gleams & tunefully sings,
By "Reaching Out" like leaping whales breach,
Heartbeat increasing, beads...

Beats are like that, 
you know….
they can jazz the soul,
bump the heart, and get
one’s feet ceremoniously 
tapping—fingers snapping:
for sure, I am a Thumper,
Banger—Slammer, first
on skins, and now
plastic, but none-the-less
fantastic—tunefully elastic!
With my old Sizzlers good
as ever,...
