Blackbirds And Wildflowers
...My mind’s where fairy tales reside,
where a mote and castle collide;
A prince on a porcelain steed,
running away with him I’m freed;
Maybe a kingdom made of waves,
it’s wily princess misbehave...

...Bustling brainwaves bring it to life
better when both eyes are blanketed;
Hyperactive insomnia’s strife;
Gears inside feel like a hamster’s wheel,

My Demons
...My Demons
My demons I feel them creeping in
I can’t let them take over and win
The anger inside, the violence it craves
I hate when my body misbehaves
It’s all a blur, I just let go and everyt...

...I run on a super busy beach,
high up the summer Sun misbehaves;
By and by pause to build sand castles,
nearby is ice cream but I smell waves;
Carefree I just play through every hour,
Aye!! ...

...Dripping with the salt of the waves
I lie back on the beach and inhale;
The energy of the night misbehaves;
Crystals shine in the moonlight
illuminating the path the sand paves;

like a silver brick on the asphalt
here at the top of the street
the gargoyles of the building know me

Ship In a Bottle
...Eight bells.
Starboard watch.
Tightened up another notch.
Holy upheaval rages ‘neath a cathedral sky.
Losing way as the wind whips up the spray.
Stormy tormentors rubbed salt in my one good eye....

Power of a Storm
...Dark clouds billow overhead,
creating a landscape of gray.
A veil shadows slowly spread,
in the air, a misty sea spray.
Hazy dim light filters through,
adding no color to the day.

who's given my life new purpose, joy.
This little scrap of humanity, who sits

You're oft' to chase me off the sky,"
Said Moon to Sun, with teary eye,
"For it's quite up to me ...
To dance the silver sea!"

Waiting At Pier 11
...Helicopters hover;
Boats bounce on the waves.
Seagulls swoop and pigeons strut;
A toddler misbehaves.
Tourists take their selfies;
Cars in traffic crawl.
New construction blocks the sky
