their travail-
for a quiet
time.

and the break in the dam of today -...

Waves shore-bound break in a calm jade translucence 
Our time together fades into tranquil eternal bliss

You look so fair for dwelling on,
Forever so shall I dwell,
Nor break in two the twining spell
That binds my soul to you....

He wiggled his body and strain
He even twisted his hand
Trying to break in the store
Then was caught in the door
Causing his body much pain...

Becoming one
Unaware
Of the gentle air
Starting to tear
Unconscious satiation
Soft syncopation
Becoming undone
Until we break in two...

LEAVING APRIL

a break in the clouds
            leafy crowd rustles
       shadows rush

blue jay darts in
      darts out
         point of concern...

Trees speak in whispers,
words dance within leaves, rustling.
Roots deep hold secrets
whilst barks break in memory.
Birds answer a question, lost....

When they break in.
Weave me back together

Love threaded spindle heart;
Needle tongue

Stringing me up like puppeteers;
Keeping these pieces of my heart together....

bend or break in two

no other possibilities

either is your choice.

Listen to poem:

what fills the space between lines?
the gaps between words
the crack and cleft of hesitation
the break-in breaches
the silent pause of interruptions
ponder it in contemplation!...

Lights out
No one about
Alone we stand
Object in hand
Silently we move
Ready to remove
Items of wealth
With stealth
Window breaks
Glass in flakes
In we now go
Time for the show...

Be it one who has will 
A power to fight
That sand mans kill
One’s own plight  

For freedom, it be taken
To this He be not blind
Take shells with centers and break in
Our peace one day we’ll find...

              a break in the clouds...in a birdbath, moonlight skates on thin ice

Cuddling by the warm fireplace
Howling winds try to break in, but fail
In our little snug cabin on Christmas Eve
Love surrounds us as we cling together
Late night hugging as we wait for the big day to come...

taking a well deserved break in the forties
on a high construction beam above New York
where the twenty-seventh floor will someday be
we did not dare annoy the guys next to us
none of us wearing safety harnesses...

Bright sunshine is darkness hidden
One moment revel and play
Until sun no more sees fun
Wither and break in darkness
And the next you survive
And the next you thrive
Beware the sun is back
Beware it won't last long

The swelling sea static at skyline, stillness stuck at edge of dusk,
waning waves break in splendor, pearls spread on the sedate reclined shore, 
twilight spectrum rolls, weave tapestry of darkness for falling night.

Wind
Touchs face
Reliving
Yearning of love
Dormant in the heart
Avoiding mirages
Preserving from fall in love
Saving from the disillusions
Seeing love where it does not exist
Rescuing heart from break in small pieces...

“Store not up for yourselves treasures on earth
where thieves can break in and steal your purse,
     where rust degrades
     and moth invades.
Store it in heaven, where your heart finds its worth.”

Matthew 6.19-21...

It was just a break in the road
gaping, defying, sneering its
refusal to allow normal traffic;
smooth pavement ripped like
some old plastic seat covering
revealing wet stained stuffing.
No easy traverse in sight,
so I turned, and went back....

Cocooned in safe world so fragile,
The butterfly flutters by,
Nothing in life comes too facile,
Struggle you must, break in to fly,
Kites of success shall sail on high !

The life of mine,
So missing in time,
The break in my line,
The whole in my life,
My heart wide open,
My heart found,
My heart unwound,
I am happy,
Because of caring,
Some one found me,
I am ready,
For her to fill me,
That whole overflowing....

dive in deep from cool cement
chlorinated water above my head
breath held deep with easy glide
swimming with you side by side
under stars and crescent moon
eyes shut tight against the burn
surface break in the still night
as you disappear from my heart's lie...
