I can still taste
Your strawberry lips 
On mine

Your strawberry lips 
Kissing mine

Kissing my 
Kiwi fruited lips....

Mountain majesty
                                                      Amber waves of fruited grains
                                                        God bless America...

Rooted in rising aspirations
Left alone in a field of dread
Autumn glimpses of
Winter wind skies
Whither the harvest
of withering drive
Whether  twas worth it
To be so alive
Standing  silent
beside fruited seeds
Steadfastly set
in his ways...

My mind sighs blackberries 
and a moonstruck melody 
plays along my spine 
as I soak up the fruited juice 
of I love you coloring your lips. 
The cherry blush of breathless, 
And a smile amid the wash 
Of blueberry eyes, should indicate 
My intended reply....

All sunshine will make deserts
Of lush valleys and fruited plains,
And all rain will make a flood
In a land that's dry and dreary.
Thus, good life has daily troubles;
As there are joys, there must be pains
Of difficulty followed by some ease
That the world will not stay weary....

Engines roar and planes soar
Across the beautiful sky's

Engines roar and SUV's tour
Across the fruited plain

Now some guy
Says to you and I
You must not drive and fly

But it's ok for me
To travel the world you see

I'm a special man
From a special clan
Who hails from Tennessee...

Tides wash over painted toes.
Rum rains down;Reptiles sun.
Ocean waves; Oracles with desired lies.
Palm treed Paradise with insects.
Islands with beautiful barefooted influences
Careless days and nights; secret caves and coves.
Abundant atmosphere; fruited alcohol attractions.
Lovers under the lagoon's night sky.

Long hopes for my bearers fruited comfort, of new soft sins quarreled.

‘Tis  lost.

The tree grew,

no caretaker to guide it’s way to the sky.

It’s limbs sprawled and gnarled with contempt and confusion.

 One yearns for you’re insight.

Though beyond, the tree will bore it’s supple fruit,

‘Tis  fruit will not be lost.

Caretakers will guide their way....

He came to save.
But the cross was the crux
Of the Father's dire demand.
So he went.

He came to give life,
But was lifted, left on a tree,
Hanging in the singeing sun.
So he died.

He came to reap,
But the fruit must first die,
Buried in the belly of the earth.
So he budded..

He sprouted the third day,
Fruited—a hundredfold, and more.
Still fruiting because
He came to save....

He came to save.
But the cross was the crux:
The Father's dire demand.
So he went.

He came with life,
But was lifted on a tree.
Hanging in the sun,
He gave the life.

He came to reap,
But must bear the fruit.
He fell into the ground.
And died! Buried!

He sprouted the third day,
Fruited. Still fruiting
'Cause He came to save.
And reap!

Love’s Wheel

Nothing could compare to how you make me feel
Would that in this envelope were
My body, my heart and soul
In the distance I see your face and hold your hand

I hope-
I know you understand after a while
I see you don’t back down
You have taken a stand despite

Three choices given on love’s wheel

To help the blind to see
More time on the fruited plains,
And a bird on the wing,

That was me...

HEAVEN  CRIES


Oh pitter and patter
you crystal drops from God,
and renew all Life's vitality !

Cleanse away the sooty degradations !
Of the technocrats cemented cities-
so all can breath again !

Whilst out up on His fruited plains
and far beyond the mountains side-
you quench the thirst of living things.

So rain you tears from Heaven
bedecking both Good and Evil-
until all the world is fresh again !...

Women Exposed

Good women are like golden fruited bananas
Peel them to find a delicious exotic taste inside
Bad woman are like bad fruit and taxes 
Beautiful exterior but nasty inside
And who likes taxes?
Young woman don’t know what they want
Old women know what they want
And it ain’t you!
I can’t speak on the subject
Being from another planet and all
But if I had my choice
I would pick the girl behind door #3...

Evolve my glory
Golden from beginning dust
Grand fusion of love

I want to tell tales
In wet corridors of flesh
Mining for the yolk

First breakfast suckled 
There after the spasm of joy
You think you know me

I outswam them all
Seven seas on stairs of love
The first wet greeting

Delicious embrace
In the golden center cracked
Shell brittle like dream

Embrace me, wet child
Gorged upon the fruited breast
Gleaming glee of flesh....

The Moon is full and bright.
It's white.
But I know...
it's black;
or, anyway, grey.
And swaddled in the airless
Really Black.
(like me.)

The sun is yellow,
the Sky blue. 
But the sun's always
seemed white to me.
The anodyne Sky - so less 
blue
than one who is blue
down deep, so blue. 

And when the Sky
seems fruited with
color, I know it's stolen
hues.  Or, leastways,
borrowed dyes when
daylight daily dies....

To the North, To the South
To the Left, To the Right
Only God Exists

His breath enters every portal
of being
I close my eyes in dark, starless realms
He glides within
Endless Sun of dreams
illumine the path, veins, arteries
radiating from my heart

Connect us to a higher Highway
above the fruited plain
swirling red dust of our
bones, teeth, marrow
barren desert mirages

God, Beloved Self
the wandering is over
take us home forever...

Instead of amber waves of grain
        We witness somber waves of pain
Our beautiful for spacious skies 
         Are filled with angry, hurtful cries

While purple mountain majesties
                  Look down on civil travesty 
No brotherhood from sea to sea
    When hate still shines on you, on me

Can this America sustain
While blood now seeds the fruited plain
Can we not overcome this shame
         When we are clearly all the same...

Quote By Poet "Are you drowning in a pool of letters?
Keep swimming and the words will come."

Words can be happy or sad
made from letters a poet will add.
A writer may use a large notepad,
writing ideas that make them glad.
A poet may want to sit by a pretty lily pad,
then write about their mom and dad.
As they write the letters and words will come,
maybe from the beating of the steel drum.
Can you hear the great hum,
while chewing fruited gum....

Unbound universe shimmering
Fiery orb of heat and light
This earthly ball's rotation
Oceans crashing shoreward
Majestic mountains rising
Mighty rivers rolling
Fruited plains abound

From molecules, the gift of life explodes
Fragile, persistent, prolific
The genomes exactly followed

With existence comes awareness
Then a searching for its meaning
An epiphany, realization
Praising, thanking, loving
Creator and created
Magnificent Glory found...

The ethereal lantern carries a flame
   lit by the soul
that shines a glorious glow of spirituality
   upon our lifeforce
with visions of serene beauty
painted from the palette of unknown color
whose stream of luminosity guides us 
   on the lighted path
beyond the invisible realm
to be a harvester of honey-scented essence
plucked from the fruited tree of life
whose roots radiate deep within
where it seeks to find paradise
an endless fountain of understanding

There upon the ground discarded
 where fruited blessings were ill guarded
lay the efforts of my spring toil
 the perspired digging and setting seed in soil
 
Peaches and tomatoes once large and green
 are cast upon the earthly tumultous scene
and  now squash and peppers lay
 torn down, half eaten castaways.

Scouring the landscape garnished
 I questioned what happened to my harvest?
There way in the back beneath the shed
 the tell tale signs of the groundhog now well fed....
