a magic moment
A magic moment sonnet
The only tree left in the whole world
was opening its leaves to welcome
the day to the survivors
Among extinct animals
the Tasmanian tiger, beside the Hubro
They had been friends since 1936
There was no artificial light; the stars
had paled as night became day
Humanity was missing; it had not made
The transition to a planet at peace
dropped heavy

Musical Magic
Orchestra began today
and magic happened as we play
I could see fingers and arms fly
as the music went speeding by
Hearts were touched and spirits lifted
as people used talents they were gifted

Demon of Witches Tower
An ominous water tower
Stands tall in Starin Park
Barricaded by a spiked fence
Iron clads the stained-glass windows
A steel door bolted shut
What secrets lie within its walls?
On the night of a blood moon
Witches shrouded in crimson robes
Conducted a satanic ritual
To call forth a demon from hell.
The ceremony was a success, but at a cost.
Hellborn claws slew the

lonely ache
your lonely ache,
a beast that wakes
timid and believing.....
The breathe in the cold,
of a swan stands so bold,
I go blind with uplifting hearts,
as we are magnetized
and jump over the rifts apart,
cold shivering to my blanket
that slides warmly over your skin.
Eyes curious with focusing
on a one giving comfort
in the rain that drenches
passion near grand trees
stood tall for

Mystic
I’m a silent mystic, in the still of night,
Awakening my heart, feeling the light,
With a whisper in the shadows, I start to see,
Connecting with the universe, it's setting me free.
Through the strings of my guitar, in the moon’s sweet glow,
Writing poetry and songs, letting my spirit flow.
With every note I play, each word that I

The Magic Of A Willow
I have one special memory
Lying with you on the lake shore
Watching the sun twinkle
As it flickered between the tree’s leaves
A gentle breeze makes the weeping willow magical
Dancing movements choreographed long ago
Never copied by anything else
To me, they are signs of unending love
Given to me and my future wife
To cherish as long as we both shall

Abandonment and Other Magic Tricks
I hope he makes you feel at home
hope it’s sweet when he’s singing you songs
I’m sorry I choked chewing on
my own tongue for too long
You’ve moved out
and moved on
Making vacancy space inside my arms
but there’s something I’m still clung on
Vagabond who can’t wander on
or let go of that glimmer

Coffee Is Black Magic
Coffee Is Black Magic
Wake up from the dead
2 cups at that
Attitude begins
On edge
Sarcasm remarks start to roam
Rage with inner thought
Be on a high alert
On a mission
Your death wish
Coffee Is Black Magic
Don’t push my buttons
Don’t stir up the pot
Give you the bird
Morning

The Switch Up
This world just keeps becoming
more & more ridiculous
Been way past the point
of being sick of this
Every path taken
turns into a complete disaster
Only way to get through it all
Is a borderline insane/nervous laughter
Always chasing the knowledge
to know what comes after
Instantly fooling myself into
believing this time will
be the switch up
And ill actually be
