Short Eddy Poems

There He Goes!
Dashing about nude,
His bare eddy was steady;
Streaking on the field....

flow - past people, thoughts
choose word whirlpools well: surf -
eddy without getting wet...

ego energised eddy currents betray
serpentine spirals of subterfuge 
heart too shy to emote love
till God be soul’s refuge...

There once was a man named Freddy
whom everyone like to  call  Eddy
He put on a wig he'd thought everyone dig
and he now goes by the name of Betty...

Smokes
of cigarettes
and mugs
full of coffee,
next
to the fictitious line
where the eddy
of words
leans against
and nods,
wounded,
to my silence....

Oh you poor dear, no comments either?
Maybe you were a little to hard on the beaver.
I’m sure some you will get.
You are their prized pet.
Just like Eddy Haskell and Ward Cleaver....

She
sets sail,
November,
riding waves of
eddy leaves left from October’s debut.
Majestic and proud, she takes firm command,
steering the bow
of Winter
toward
Spring....

Luckless vessel plucked from the surface;
sucked into uncharted fathoms.
Relentless, roiling vortex
consumes all evidence.
Sated, exhausted,
swirling eddy
dissipates.
All is
calm....

Do you work at Little Caesars and your name is Jenny
The reason I'm asking is “Cuz Ur Hot And I'm Ready”
Whatta pick-up line
The best of all time
I'll be there about eight and my alias is Eddy...

Grinds so fine. Keep steep steady.
Catch ev’ry nitty gritty. Screen darkness dregs.
Press, add water. Start ebonic eddy.
Stir ‘nilla cream, bright and witty.
Chat with friends so fine. Keep.

Teen age is the Spring Life.
Eddy of emotions assaults,
Ebullitions of sensations invade,
Narrative of a new phase begins. 

Age of transformations,
Gallery of unforgettable memories. 
Enshrine them ,with tenderness, forever....

caress of bliss delight
an eddy current teasing
soft and feathery touch
fixates our focus
in the slow seduction
gentle yet persuasive 
as each hue new renews
tantalising tingling teaching
tryst of light transcendent
within form immanent...

An eddy of dry leaves,
Dancing in the wind 
The dance of death,
Moves to mulch. 
I've seen this falling,
Mr. Eliot, and would say
September is the cruelest month,
Making supper for Spring
Out of lives that must give way
To future appetites....

Time Is a River


time is a river that flows
no one can stop where it goes
straight as an arrow it rolls
no eddy, no vortex, no shoals
no place to stop and rest our souls
we are prisoners of its steady flow

JEANETTE AND NELSON

jeanette and nelson
nothing sweeter, more serene
a lost innocence



Sweethearts of the 30s –
We old timers can’t forget them
And when they sing together
We weep.
          Jeanette McDonald
                   And
              Nelson Eddy...

Dive under any 
skirt that floats 
your way, Amish 
or otherwise,
metaphorically speaking.
Be an explorer.

Sail every sea until
you find the eddy 
you want to swirl in
the rest of your life.
Then stake your claim. 
Make it your own.

Eddy currents rise, to delight
Magnetism, so subtle
Rapture tingles through day and night
Love without rebuttal

Within the Sushumna 
Chitrini and Brahma
Unveil chakra Ajna

Behold bliss surprise 
Eddy currents rise

Eddy currents flow within form,
accompanied by bliss nectar,
bringing with it mists cool and warm,
piercing every body vector.

Having relinquished thought flow crutch,
we imbibe direct truth by touch,
breath by breath, embracing God’s light,
as heightens within, bliss delight....

The play of soma 
Humming magnetism 
Purring bliss eddy current
Blessings of the divine Mother
As each cell of our form is ignited
As a receptacle of God’s light
Transfixing our attention 
As rapture cascades
By day and night
Silent thunder

Divorce sucks!
But,... marriage is worse.
"It doesn't have to be like this."
Life flows and we sink,
Swim or float.
Our choice.
Not every eddy
Or every rock
Presents a fearful
Block.
Love regardless
Means acceptance.
A forever entanglement
Not broken by
Cyclic patterns of resentment,
Fear, anger, or violence....

It was a large spin eddy swirling just aside the banks 
that still allowed the river to flow unrestrained and free. 
Bobby Hill and me had run away that day tired of rules 
stifling us being polywogs splashing til chill set in 
we gave in, sure they would miss us so we went home again.

Edward Snowden

When Edward Snowden* snowed in,
no one thought it a sin,
save the snooping sultans  who froze.
When on the run or cubby-holed, for friends, he had only  woes.

I float, I drift, at a slow languid pace,
Content to bob, by love’s river carried,
Fantasies focused on your lovely face,
Immersed in thanks for years we’ve been married;
I eddy, swirl, by your side—in my place—
As one, we wend, in the tide of God’s grace.

Tears


                                       sand castle crying
                                   in sun rays, waiting calmly
                                         in seashore's eddy

                                  until winds and waves of prey
                                     lay to rest his final tears
