Where the Pacific meets the Coast
The beach climbs are harder
the rocks turn my feet
and I find myself walking on my ankles
wading through sand
But the photos at sunset
or as the moon rise
are such a surprise
Like paintings
like fine art
witnessing the beauty of nature
as it shows us all of the basis for inspiration
everywhere
The sea air is so refreshing
the tang of salt
its cool crisp

When Time Meets Light
Snow prevails in the realms of Otherworlds,
And moonlit mortals imagine light flight.
Bright pink faery orbs float and dance upward,
Spirals in song producing bright delights.
At times, thought considers the other side.
Dreaming in the moment bestows lessons.
A flame amplifies the insightful mind,
And we learn to breathe in our own heavens.
The depth of the forest brings us

She went through a string of more than several Indian lovers.
Decided he's the one she refuses to string along.

When Boy Meets Girl
So much can change so quickly in a life.
Love is the path, not a destination…
When feelings become thoughts of “man and wife,”
It takes blood and tears, and perspiration.
We think this might be where we’ll always be,
As peaks and valleys make us whine and groan.
The road ahead is truly hard to see
But hardships lighten when you’re

Punch-Drunk Poet Meets Chandelier Chin
With nothing but a jawbone, I
unhinge the night, let silence die—
book of broken psalms, toothless songs
of what was right, of what went wrong
beneath the hush of watchful sky.
No prize, no game, no lullaby—
just marrow's oath and blood gone dry.
I didn’t mean to last this long
with nothing but a jawbone.
Still, blood remembers how to lie,
to shape

Golden Shovel Meets Blind Goddess of Justice
… after Langston Hughes
You know how they do. They say that
we run, that we fit descriptions, but justice
ain’t blind, she just sees who she wants. Is
it any wonder we hold our breath? A
body ain’t a body when they label it a threat. Blind
fold her, watch

Where the heat meets the flame
Where the heat meets the flame
I don't care for love...
don't care for much,
You've taken away everything...
with your filthy touch
I don't feel your pain...
though blood pours like rain
I'll meet you there...
where the heat meets the flame
These chains hold me down...
Bind me in place
This evil haunts me in my dreams,
with his stone cold face
Don't ever let

When black meets betrayal
She did everything she could
And yet somehow it wasn't enough
She did everything right
Yet she still lost the fight
From the very first moment She was born
She was was Stripped of her voice
There were complications with her mum
But before they could help she was gone
Her father was falsely imprisoned
The child was silent
But there was

Love meets us where we are
and sees through
Our disguises
Our guises
Our performances
Our nuances
Our expectations
Our innovations
Our convictions
Our contradictions
Our excellencies
Our inconsistencies
Love greets us where we are
Sees right through us
and does not run away

Where the Ocean Meets the Mountain
You, Mariana—deepest trench of my knowing
I call you by name not to possess it
but because it is the only prayer
I have ever known how to say
You are the sea—each wave not an argument but a hymn
a hymn without

SANDY MEETS TINKER BELL
Oh, what a crisp, beautiful morning,
Surely this will be a wonderful day,
For every cloud that we will see
On our way, I’ll wish for a silver lining,
Designed just for you and me.
Adventure was nearing, I felt it in my bones,
I want Sandy to have an unforgettable day,
Hey Sandy, did you see that Unicorn,
It was white

Hubris when meets her nemesis
Yesterday’s ours only to muse
On, the morrow, to win or lose.
To those not knowing this,
Time gives a passing kiss--
O it pays well today to choose.

They were together all week, running from one booth to another
