Bluegrass banjos
fueling the vision

Death
is hard to take
sometimes

but it’s not
like we 
ever had
a choice in the matter

It happens
of its own volition...

October's clouds mask the sun

fueling November's chill,

and Jack Frost's frozen art gets

etched on window panes.

Alcohol, cunning baffling powerful

Anticipation for that next drink, such a pull

Even though the negative consequences are dire

More alcohol is poured on, fueling the fire...

Love
rises
in
my heart
on wings of
passion
trust
and hope,
fueling
fantasy dreams
the instant
I see
you.
And we
share a smile
and a
kiss
on the
lips....

‘Airy Ain’t It

It sways the trees and makes them bend
while fueling climate changing trend
It’s Mother Nature breaking wind.

Just saw an image of a sweet young lass
Starting to tremble my parts they do flap
Uncontrollable drooling
Great passion it's fueling
Must be careful, must turn down the tap...

In this cruel world full of insanity,
fueled by selfishness and greed,
you could lose your life
if you want more than you need
by burning in a bonfire
of your vanity....

Here lies Martin Jacob "Sparky" Trent
Service Station Attendant
Smoking while fueling 
Can be quite grueling
A flick of the Bic and away Sparky went.

can’t win improvise
             crocodile tears woeful cries 
                   hypocrites disguise
           endless feigning soul destroyed 
        truth turns to ash neath stone eyes

I’m wed to my Poetry,
betrothed to the fire

Each word an incendiary,
burned to inspire

My voice the rekindling,
fueling the scream

The ashes my trousseau 
—a smoldering dream

Your sweet aroma
following me everywhere.
Filling every breath.
Fueling love, in my heart.
Your scent sets my soul aflame.

It's true,
oceans worldwide
are swiftly on the rise,
as our glaciers and ice caps melt.
Global warming is causing climate change,
fueling forest fires and droughts.
And it is time sceptics
accept that fact;
it's true....

I'll pray 
You don't let go
For these heartstrings of mine
That only you possess the love 
That pumps the blood running through my body
Your touch recharges my soul
Fueling a joyous
sacred fire

Head hurts horrendously
Thundered thoughts throb
Manic mind melts
Bizarre brainwaves beckoning 
Whatever wanders wayward
Furiously fueling falsehoods
Deepening demented delusions

The foolish rules reign
Enemy kingdoms
Separating a 
Love that bloomed between
A king and a queen

Years passed leaving
Deep planted roots
Fueling a
Proscribed passion

Until one
Tragic day
Frustrated

Lovers
Tasted 

Bane

Falling raindrops weather rocks
untethered from time and clocks.
Fueling a thirsty earth
water stimulates rebirth.
Vapors condense in the sky,
and in a blink of an eye,
falling raindrops weather rocks.

A trickle of tears

             frames the corners of her smile

  she's beyond happy

             and her heart quickens its pace,

  fueling feelings of joy.

we could trade tit-for-tat, hurt for hurt
keep fueling the anger flame
or look in our own cracked mirrors
note the middle-age faces
and recognize that by blending our lives
we brought a lot of troubled history together
mercy, forgiveness, grace
ultimately love
is the only memory 
worth keeping...

I look with scorn 
at this abomination;
Bringing to light a passion,
an angry flame

Fueling a yearning 
I struggle again and again;
A relationship we attempt,
With bright affection 

I taste your  tender inner soul, 
Colorful bloom I cherish you;
Oh, but you Bamboozle me! 
A mirage, brought on by snow...

cloudy day
brings no gloom
for you are near
your face my silver lining
framed in glitter
from my heart
our time apart
fueling our desires
until we meet
till our bodies unite
in the fluorescent light
and you saturate
my parched soil
with long awaited rain
quenching my thirst
with each droplet...

In a place where time stands still and dreams become reality,
I taste you on the promise of hope that sates my hunger for faith
Fueling my desire to chance.

And through unveiled abandon with courage guiding my every step,
I am completed by your presence breathing life into my soul...

Setting me free....
