I'Ve Got To Go

I’m on my way, I’ve got to go
(the reasons why you’ll never know),
whisked away in winter’s winds, your sleeping sighs remind me.
And I’ll ramble where I please,
sometimes slipping to my knees,
phantom memories a’ chasing close...

The X.O.’s in the shower
and the Captain’s in his bed.
The Chiefs’ are playin’ poker

The Dancing Tree

Long long ago in a lonely lovely hill
When earth was young, handsome and green
Besides the meadow near the curly winding flow
There stood a tree proudly high and spry.

Swaying and dancing in wheezy pleasy breeze
Never was...

All the Pretty Words

"All the Pretty Words"



All the pretty words
blooming like summer jonquils
fade from the velvet fresh green tongues
and rich fecund tussled beds 
of poets and minstrels
strumming hearts with 
fingers that waltz over keys
plucking tangos from dreams of
sensitive...

Precipice of a Lost Innocence

I am standing outside my bedroom, on the precipice of lost innocence.
Wide eyed, and barefoot on cold hardwood.
Someone is hammering on our front door.
My father, looking a bit annoyed, shuffles anxiously down the stairs.
Tussled hair,...

Goldfish In Heaven

It was a little cold this morning.
Colder this morning
than any other so far this year. 
Of course every day this year seems
colder than any year before.

It’s October now.
It’ll be my birthday soon.
I’ll be eighty-four… or...

Idyllic reverie during break of day

Idyllic reverie during break of day

May today bring unbridled bliss 
delivered courtesy sunshine kissed
giving Midas a run for his money.

When the last trace of night 
evaporates analogous to milky hue,
whereat a dreamy state 
pervades thy...

A Treasured Single Private Moment Captured But Not Forgotten

Leisurely sat on a busy beach
A hive of noise and activity
A collage of shifting 
Shape and colour form
Just casually surveying the view

I felt the hot intense expanding rays Of the sun
Scorch and burn my sensitive...

Beloved Sarah

You wore your vernix like a crown on a budding successor

Head held up high and then there was an almighty scream

I cut the chord and crowned the royal moment with a kiss

The Honky-Tonk Ghost, Part Ii

Edna said,”It was so tragic.

with the girls he worked his magic.

Our Qt Savior

In the cold of the morn with a crisp cloudy day…
A flat tire assailed a young girl, as she went on her way.

a mechanic by the name of John?
Oh, the countless stories that he can tell
of the hunting trips that he’s been on.

A-B=me

Perhaps the stifled conversation, the contact Of Bodies

Or the Building and Spitting and Swearing

The Light, the graze of many Nameless finger-tips

Or the tenderness, which in the end, Deciphered Nothing.

The words addressed and loved by Someone,

But...

She looked like a diva 
Her body was super fine...

Ma's Little Imp

Tussled hair, bruised knees, toothless, lop-sided grin;
Ma is so thankful her dear little imp wasn't born a twin!

But her little boy marches to his own drum, much...
