Because you really want be a very special friend.

Soft Mellow WindsThe magic of the soft mellow winds
That gently reaches out - within
Sets my mind at ease
With just a soft gentle breeze.
The coolness - the crispness
Felt across my face
Am I in this world alone
Or, is it...

And kissed me with loves passion - so gently.
Then to hear the words "I love you"
And that look in your eyes
I was totally...

TO PEN, OR NOT TO PEN
Perfectionist, I will never be.
Alas, not even in the land of poetry!
Why can I not a mistake make?
It's a poem, after all, not a bridal cake!
Few here, a true classical poem can pen.
Nor can I, even modern...

the death of defeatWhat rare heart you have that puts upon my own
salvations touch.
At first too much
to bear. And now here, in this hallowed place,
at last comes understanding I may share,
at last comes grace.

MarchMarch wades in
ankle deep in the melt.
The edges of iron nights rust
turn into pyrite dawns.
Pewter rivers shimmer into silver
fish-tailed coats
as the sunlight rolls down main street
window-shopping.
Of a sudden
nail-bound ribcages loosen,
worn down faces
surface...

The Myth CarriersBefore I first crawled from a mythical ocean
light years before history began to take itself seriously
I was told to spin new myths.
The dead-not-so-dead gave me buckets of myths.
“This is your mission,” they said, “carry these...

Morning TimePrevious dawns flock together,
gather.
The hedgerows accumulate
with old and new. Sprigs and twigs
bend under the weight of
heaping feathers.
If eyes open too soon
then a few mornings go missing,
some are still catching up
they will...

Domestics
Every time I heard my mother cry
I would come barreling down the stairs
to square up to my father,
both of us fuming on the edge of a fight.
As a child when you have yet...

Fall WoodsThe blackbird has gone maggoty
Lara stiffs at it
shakes a grub off her wet nose
and sneezes.
Then as if fiction were uncannily real
another similar bird drops out of a tree.
For a short while it flutters
turning in a...

How It Goes
A love of fast cars that he could not afford
led him to be a poor fourth place in his own race.
He once lived in an ancient Toyota van,
just for a week, but long enough to...

Barn Life
I miss the barn, the hay loft,
a place to listen to the midday sun
creaking through old wood.,
the small clouds of horse flies
moving as one in their jet-pack bodies,
that rose and fell
their small engines...

Slow Time
We move too fast.
in the wrong clock of time.
Slow classic vocal music way,way down
it becomes angelic, a flowing harmony
not travelling anywhere.
In extreme slo-mo the leap of a tiger, is a ballet,
a study of eternal becoming.
Imagine...

Approximately Dceased
He has left the world.
A half-made bed creaks still.
A life left elsewhere,
not here in this blue rat-tailed viewing.
Display the cold hands,
the musty suit newly buttoned.
Teeth wedged tightly
inside a cosmetology mask.
Earwax continues.
A smile sheens on formaldehyde...
