I am at a distant, I stare at you bloom,
My heart is eager to smile,
But my memories and my present sight,
force not to.
You need broad shoulders because the rains shall rain.
I want you to know;
They...

"Come closer, you kids, let me tell you a story:
now you all see that there morning glory? Well
that was the blue of this little boy's eyes, born

The bayou sky flies a catfish moon over swamp gators 
And cottonmouth vipers. Accordions, fiddles, and rub board vests 
Make their ramble through the undergrowth hot on the trail
Of a sultry midsummer house party in...

My husband’s eyes are tearing up! Yes, it’s that time of year!
The doggie moss just keeps creeping, everywhere my dear.

Maestro bows, a motion lulls thunder, 
ovations a period of heeling, a clap
diverts a few, then attends silence. 
A typical cough failed its challenge,
disturbed section promptly affects
a hall--indulges the jittery few. An 
abrupt tapping expresses...

Four years of life had been obtained
Sitting on ol' Blue Velvet, crossing my legs
My mother crying, wiping her face
While i was perplexed on this beautiful day.

Father had walked in around noon
With the same face my...

Plentiful clover carpet compresses
Set up, sat on, months of manuals 
Scripted mouth emits, put to practical test

Three leaf varieties finally defeated
Select among smutty monotonous menu
Virtuous entry through untainted eyes

Coveting customer jumps at his chance
Increased green...

Words whispered across broad spaces
sounded loudly to most
those in attendance heard from the whispers
words that could crumble volcano's
and cause boulders to slide into the sea.
Across broad spaces we saw visions of happiness, made sad by

Lightning flashes across
The Egyptian night sky and
Standing on my terrace I can see
Those ancient pyramids
Towering over the city miles
Wide, so high they appear
To touch the stars and you
Feel as though they are gazing
Down upon you...

Scarlett thought she was promised permanent security. 
Satchels of resilience bound her fragile wrists. 
Woodland deities hailed her.
Underworld demons feared her.
The curious townsfolk simply stood in contemplation - 
Inviting epee's gleamed in their eyes 
as...

It was vanity that killed him,
not the flames, nor acrid smoke.
If he had got out straight away,
they would have said, "What a lucky bloke."
But he stopped to put on his best PJ's,
which hung behind the...

The twinkling stars light up the Night,
creating a magical sight.
And a rising moon starts to glow,
against the black backdrop of space.
Held in Night's ebony embrace,
Luna's light gilds the clouds below.
Visible to the naked eye,
shooting stars...

The lamp outside my lodgings cut through fog of dirty grey,
I donned my coat and hat ready to start another day.
The sound of hooves on cobbles meant my transport was at hand
I stepped onto the...

The Hindu God, Kali, has two faces.
She is life and death, beauty and ugliness, 
motherliness and destructiveness.

She was my muse.
She bought me helicopter rides high over the city.

We ate elaborate meals with guests.
At regular meals...

in your arms is where I belong

At midnight under the moonlit sky
We take a quiet soak in the pool.

There is a feeling of romance between us
as the light...

as teabag clouds start slowly steeping
in colored pools of waning light;
