that's all He asks me to do

Our Hoot Owl Friend

Her eyes can be seen
Briefly in quick glimpses
Sitting high and safe
What is it the child asks
Our hoot owl friend, I reply.

Embrace

He asks me to dance,
I fall into a deep trance.
He gives me that glance,
I never felt so enticed,
He takes me in his embrace.

Where are you going tonight?
How is your moving
through this sacred life rhythm?

Vain Animals

“Hey, when is my turn?”
asks the horse.
“Hold your horses,” 
says the plastic surgeon,
“while I give the duck
a quick nip and tuck.”

Illusion Or Delusion

From miles around, hushed
throngs gather.  The magician
saws a girl in half...
Illusion or delusion

Serial

A serial doer of tasks
obsesses until he then asks:
what is it that’s next?
His old muse is vexed;
the former, the latter now masks.

rise between us
when the and in you and me

then love smiles first
and asks questions later

The Taste of Pleasure

Sipping on spiced tea

Pomegranates explode on

The tongue. Partner asks,

New tea? Your eyes are swooning... 

I nod twice and lick my lips.

What Is Wrong

I take a step
My ankle’s broke
I turn my head
I have a stroke

What is wrong?
Asks my concerned mate
I’m old I’m fat.
I’m sixty-eight

The Control Freak

asks themselves questions 
which they do not want to
know the answers,
in order to make sure they 
can still be the ones
asking the
questions.

God asks us

those who have been to us callous
what toward them is our response 
do ripples scar our void-like stance
is compassion held in love’s sconce

A new baby, Yippee!
  Is it a he or a she?

Today no one asks parents
  They truly don't know

how to answer a question

Look what I can do he says
I watch but see nothing
Did it turn white? He asks.
Not sure what it is.
It sure did I say.
He smiled, satisfied.

Hot Java

One takes a sip,
licking lips,
licking the rim.

Tongue hot, taste flavorful;

Sliding down throat deep asks
"May I have a refill?  Please."

My Wisest Friend

He asks no questions, nor answers, seeks.  
If he has opinions, he rarely speaks.
He does not write or have a bibliog,
my wisest friend, my dog.
