If only tears could wash away the pain
or fill the empty pit that sudden loss creates
If that were true then this old heart
would numb with overflowing
This hole which resonates inside
seems vast and never-ending
At every turn, the memories
are all that I can see
If only tears could bring back just a blink
of one more minute
of one more touch and one more kiss
you’d be here evermore
But tears are only water filled of love
and reminiscing
And though a sweet release
they can but only fill the sea
For my sweet Monte

Gather your false prophets
and sycophants
Bury your heads
in the deepest sand
Tell the same lies
as you sing to the choir
Slave to the mirror
—and sleight of hand

Hush!
Discreetly they be. Clandestine
Journeying a void voyage,
Made for each other
Madly in love.
Might be
A pin drops silently
Mind is a culprit.
Yesterday slumbers on a bed of thorns.
Hush!
Sweaters in making
Knits a sock, as well.
Footwear and footprints in love

BENEATH A BLANKET
OF SADNESS
SHE WAITS
FOR THE TIME TO STILL
FOR THE WARM WIND
TO CARESS THE TIDE
AND CARRY HER OUT
IN WAVES OF BLISS
IN THE UNDERTOW
LOVE
THAT POWERFUL ELIXIR
THE POISON
AND THE CURE.

Yule and Monte Carlo
While I sit and watch circus Monte Carlo
and get annoyed by the undignified use of wild animals,
perhaps except horses, they are beautiful and dumb and get oats to eat after
the performance,
There is no peace for the Palestinians and their struggle to win
back their country and bullets sing through the night.
I watched a bland concert where Jerusalem was sung by three tenors
but having heard Placido Domingo, they didn`t measure up.
Then the ads came on in Portugal they last forever, I fall asleep
and didn`t see the clowns.

Make a jelly sandwich.
Dip it in egg, vanilla,
and sugar that you've beaten.
Cover it with Swiss
cheese sauce
and put it under a broiler
until bubbly.
Eat with a fork and knife.
Serve with coffee,
and sliced tomatoes.
Cooking is what I like to do,
especially, sandwiches.
I love to pile them high
with lots of stuff, and try to
make them a beautiful
presentation.
We don't just eat with our mouths.
Our other senses eat the food too!
