sweet-honey’d drippings
in a steamy sup of tea —
snoring honeybees

Roast pork infused with garlic
oh so succulent
wrapped in shreds of sauerkraut
juicy,slightly browned
pan drippings aside
for the spuds
yum!

Until drippings of light cease from the days hallow hole,
A veiled moon veils spirits, love carries all our might 
Through the bleakness, for what happiness may come
From the wars beating drum in the middle of the night?
Greet death with happiness in this time we should be sleeping.
Greet the morning in death's dreams, sleeping rather than weeping....

Burning breakfast bun
See how my creation’s spun
No clip in my gun

Punches in the gut
Crazy ramblings from the nut
Obscure subtle cut

A simple song sung
Reader’s noses often stung
Drippings of my tongue

Write out of the rut
Poetic lunatic’s strut
Burning bamboo hut

Tradition undone
Words simplistically spun
Now my rhyme is done...

My mouth drips with honey, Lord,
Not a drop do I waste.
Your sweet words on my lips,
forever may I taste. 

Yet, honey from the honeycomb,
can in no way compare
to Your sweet taste in my mouth,
when I meet with You in prayer.

My future's in Your hands, Jesus,
my faith, rock solid strong.
You are my Lord and Savior.
I'm right where I belong....

NEW YEAR

snow is melted
the ruin that is winter
overwhelms my eye
beneath the sun trees stand
like crowds of ragged beggars

the once beautiful
is denied all memory
of where it has gone
the icy house top drippings
ping the head    stark reminder

those cold months ahead
but i’ll wait out the next snow
the white blanket fall
marvel the icy branches
wish happy new year to all...

On dawn’s sweet breeze

Fade to blue
in starlight drippings
The sunrise sings
enchanted song
When turquoise tints
horizon’s dreaming
Can morning wait
for very long
~
In hues of gold
and amber teasings
On dawn’s sweet breeze
your scent does flow
My heartbeat swirls
of joy receiving
I breathe a sigh,
I love you so

Good morning Soupers...

She resembled, a package so well-knit,
Like gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit.

Like a bouquet of all flowers of Spring,
She had something that left me so longing.

Lo, this little fruit of my aspirations,
I'll never bite, lest I lose her affections.
 
 “Sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb” (Psalms 19:10)

Cranberries
Not that canned glop
That jiggles like jelly
But real cranberries

Turkey
Not a loaf
That does not have a taste
But the real thing

Gravy
Made with turkey drippings
Makes stuffing and potatoes
hot, I dream of it.

warm yeast rolls
With real butter
Satisfying
In a surreal way

Pumpkin pie
Garnished with Cool Whip
Announces
Thanksgiving

Throw in people
Old and young and
Laughter
A winning combination...

Vanilla ice cream
Creamy butter on my bread
Calories pleasure

Sweet maple drippings
Creamy salty buttered toast
Add calories joy

Fluffy cream pancakes
Strawberry crimson fresh blend
Calories well tamed

Hot pineapple cakes 
Squeezed foamy apple cider
Calories for health?

Greasy cheese pasta
Sprinkled egg tumbled bagel
Calories full blast!

Egg pie, peach float tart
Brewed steamy milk chocolate
Calories heart melt....

stranded glaciers


tear drops stranded glaciers
rolling stone balls from my eyes
bat drippings
in
the
cave
canyons
have
all
run dry


i
am
but
an
thimble
setting
on your
thumb
take
me
on
an
ride
hide
me
from the sun




my poems
are like
an
buck it
eight
seconds for an ride




shouldn't take you that long
to see we are but a waste
of
time
under
manned
fear facers
stranded glaciers

On a sweltering summer day,
Mr. Crocodile's come to stay.
Slithering into shops and stores,
every cold thing he devours.

Children's mouths drop and drool.
They see what's keeping him so cool!
Cats and dogs linger at his feet,
licking up drippings, of sweet, stolen treats.

Cops and fire trucks roar down the block,
with their sirens blaring, chasing Mr. Crock.
Toddler's cry while their mother's scream,
to see him eating all the town's ice cream....

Steady and constant
 the rain fell
 a streaming curtain clear then opaque wells.
On the rooftop
 the pitter patter spell
 a monumental flood of rain drops dwell.
Cool and wet
 drippings with a history to tell
 where each came and flowed to earthen knells.
Unseen sun gilded
 in grays and white clouded gels
 where neither sky nor tree is clearly quelled.
Sit inside safe
 protected from the storming cells
 and a rain day is released upon the human shell....

Spill some wine on this white cloth
So impeccable, too perfect
A painter's canvas, begging

Drippings of red, crimson stains
Vintage patterns seeping
Rose petal brushstrokes beckon

Fingers dip into warm, slippery
Strokes on virgin dust
Drawings, slowly becoming 

Outlines of a past conceived
Figurines learning the creative curve of
Life’s mysteries blotted in endless possibilities

I will cherish you 
For the rest of time.
As the stars we ensue,
Escape the light’s climb.

I would go to any length for us.
We could go back to the start
When you touched my heart
As our soft, watery eyes discuss.

When it seems impossible to love,
Our misty spirits melt into one,
Like the candle drippings above
The lands we strive to outrun.

Onward to the skies we’ve found,
A starry abyss will pleasure us.
Even when we're not around,
I shall forever treasure us....

Wicked and distorted eyes dancing under the
moon. The wicked eyes listen as screams are
heard in the distance. Wicked eyes pounding 
faster than a heart beat and streaks of blood
dripping like rain.

Blood drippings travel up toward the moon.
drying out and becoming crisp as the air
hits the spots. Sparks flash as the eyes
mimic a screaming child.

Silence sits in as the screams diminish and gently close.
The moon now rest and is assured that the
wicked eyes are now in remission....
