Gallons of heart-ache
pouring into life's pitcher
diluting substance...

Relentless rain
Over abundant

Cold monotony
Blurring seasons

Droopy blossoms
Soggy gardens
Diluting summer....

Unexpected glance,
Eyes arrest my weary heart,
While Restoring warmth,

Absorbing toxins,
Diluting daily routines,
Filtering the old.

Awaken by bliss,
Suddenly infected with
Comfort evermore.

blood 

                    red, true

 flowing, agglutinating, testing 

lineage, pedigree, aquatic, rain 

   drizzling, diluting, irrigating, 

             cold, navigable,

                      water

The rain is diluting the seawater
The waves seem higher and rougher

I´m blown by the storm wind
Dancing in the rain in my mind

I’m joyfully leaping like a clown
Among raindrops falling down

I’m nowhere and everywhere
People call me a daydreamer...

Beautiful babies blowing bubbles,
Terrible teens tempting troubles.
Parent's plaguing problems perplexing
Viewing various values vexing.

Doctors diagnose diseases.
Potent potion prescription pleases.
Debating difficult diagnosis,
Desperately diluting doses....

Stream
at night
sings softly
age old music
to quiet the cry
of  this day's little child
lost while the west wind  moans   
Restoring  calm from chaos          
Flowing to tomorrow's  promise     
Diluting the tears of  the day's song   
Bathing the soul with the waters of  hope...

I watch the jealous sky
open it's eyes,
drag shrouds of grey
to leech colours from the day.
Yet even raindrops feel pity
as they feed the tributary
of pain upon my cheek,
diluting my skin, stained in you.
I could smell hopes freshness
in mornings birth,
and the sky was contented....

Plot that thought, borne of heart’s desire
Does love hue mark intent
Why for objects do we aspire
Diluting bliss current

Unless with love aligned
Divine wisdom divined
Ego tightens it’s bind

Be self-taught
Plot that thought

‘Twas a rather sodden evening
When the congregation had begun departing
Pending an austere twister
I know not if it was deliberately
though for some reason the bright red hue 
That comprises your vehicle ensnared my eyes
it was in that moment when your lovely smile 
Rose to prominence in the 
Gradually diluting presence of the rain
Chuckles sprang forth in merriment...

You knocked my house down while I was inside loving you
Oh…..   I don’t understand 
I’ve held you close to the moon
Under the stars and this is what you do
I don’t know how to walk with memories chasing me

I’m locked in my bottle for only a moment 
Diluting the heartache
I battled and battled for 
To be so torn 
From thought to feelings
In a storm ...

PROGRESS

What happened to that coffee bar
With the pinball  machine
That focused our attention and verve
On Saturdays when I was sixteen?

Where did all those girls go
That wore flared skirts and white socks
As we listened to American rock ‘n’ roll
On the juke box?

They’re still around,  but changed
With time’s passage there;
And the phenomenon called progress,
Diluting the verve, damping the flare....

A beautiful gift to humanity
Quenching the chaos of our cries
Diluting stones into sugar
Dressing us in warm colors

The mind of a poet is a beauty unseen
His feelings burning with blazing torment
Poetry has brought an unusual happiness
The mind and heart unites harmoniously
Pen becomes paint brushes 
Words create the symposia
A dynamic gift it came without significance
Joy comes in your creativity
A poet in deep misery became light in total darkness...

Solemn, arcane,
Shooting, exploding
Into millions of pearls with the speed of cocaine—

Eroding, diluting,
The oaks are bloating!
They swallow the earth till the leaves are floating—

One by one the army will follow,

I must defend the rain.

Emphatic, dictatious,
Oh emperous one
For everything lives and dies in your vein—

Stock, automatic,
And overly done
To hell with applause for the rapturous sun—

Set the controls; deploy the clouds!

We must defend the rain....

"Block"

 Diluting your mind with empty thoughts
 It's buried in you
 You haven't forgot
 Reach deep within and pull it out
 There is magic inside
 Without a doubt
 Your words are powerful
 Speaking in rhyme
 Has it’s own pace
 It takes it's time
 Think too hard and you will see
 Overthinking will bring more difficulty
 Stuck in a block
 Trying to escape
 This becomes the mind's rape
 Take it easy day by day
 You have plenty of beautiful words to say
