Way up there in the atmosphere, 
Is where my Golden Eagle lost his fear.

It is where I met my new friend...

I've always dreamed about flying so free with the eagles.
Especially my invariant Golden Eagle.
He soar's...

God, how I hate (when I can't go to sleep),
HATE the feeling sleep never will come.
In moments like this, I wonder if my death
Might be a lover with real potential,
Though the possibility of soul being...

'Twas the Night before Christmas and I must confess,
the year 1987, started out just like all of the rest,
with christmas lights twinkling from everyone's dwelling,
but believe me it was different and far more compelling!'

For the moment I merely watched him
Running back and forth in his home
I am patient you see
I am full of time plenty
I am the sly one in the darkness and I am hungry

So I waited,...

As I wandered about the lush lawn
In the gazing ball I glimpsed
A breath-taking young woman with a touch of innocence
In her soulful, violet eyes.

I was mesmerized by her beauty
And I had to look up to...

Such Majesty There, Where Nature's Beauty Abounds

There it was deepest beauty all the way around
Whispering winds echoing most colorful sounds
Like a vision from a very passionate dream
Earth, sky unified into giant flowing stream
I lone interloper...

Weird Ways and Good Old Days

If feature was made into a modern day
About past, wonder what it would say
Things have been done in weird ways
And were always called good old days.

This to some might sound...

Dang them grey clouds are rolling in
What’s wrong with life I don’t even know where to begin
Life is down and out my theme song is being played with a violin
Bad times and down times is...

There

Your hand
That exquisite, sexy little hand
I reach, oh so slowly
My index finger extended lazily

But with enigmatic intent and subtle grace
(Like Michelangelo's Adam on the Sistine Chapel ceiling ...
Desperate for the touch of God)
I softly touch...

My little running buddy, my best furry friend 
You came into my life
As a white bundle of goofy bichon
Dressed up as a terrier.
You terrorized our Princess Xena,
And, as a crazy Hallowe’en pup,
Climbed up onto the...

CHILDREN OF LAHORE
(Easter Sunday 2016)


Arms flailing
From
Her
Blue burka,

The woman
Jumps

Like a checkerboard
Piece
Up and over
The white squares

Of bedsheet
       To bedsheet
To bedsheet

Each
Draped
Over a
Red blossom
Bump
Lumped
And soaked on
The gravel dust
Fairground
Floor.

Like a game of peekaboo
Between mother...

and the wind moved him...

So I thought...

As I sit up in my cozy window seat;
I notice that the sunshine 
has disappeared in retreat.
It has left us a very dank, murky, 
and unfriendly kind of day;
With dingy clouds lounging over us

I have ADD.

Having... what I have's like playing billiards*!
I aim my thoughts
like a cue ball at a stripe**
and hit a solid** color...

It wipes me out!  I forfeit my next shot!
My Critic-of-all-dreams does the thinking,...

Worlds apart, a newlywed 
infantryman in the trenches pens  
a missive to a wife he left behind
and this is what he had to say....


"My Dearest,

I was carried away up and over a topped stack just the other day,
By the oceans of blue cascading across shadows of magnifying rays of sunlight!
One by one they dashed through the trickery Sun as...

Home, even though a cozy cove sits secretly offshore,
it takes a hope and a skip away from my lone abode.

Garish pix of nightclubs
 hot clubs
  	 hot pants
 hot girls
swirl my mind
as I lay in bed
running you 
inside my head
running and running
and you’re stuck on replay
as I speed the highway
down the road
flowing and...
