writhe with pain
as the men 
torch Gethsemane....

Sea breeze smell of fish
                                   coconut and cashew groves
                                   sand stretch and tourists...

i love to dance and prance
got ants in my pants
always take a chance
you watch me go
on the dance floor
i got my  groves

DANCE FLOOR MOVES...

I sit here pondering which piece to move, where it fits, and connecting the groves.
There is no strategy, no technique.
A challenge for the mind, where the brain has grown weak....

snow and icicles
compete to adorn house roofs ---
white pigeons peep from wall holes 

to seep through spruce groves
the sun tries and tries and fails ---
fog spreads his grey pavilion

jugernaut of the masses
call forth the minions
stockpile the odes
and breathe no more
hold into account all I have
pillage not unto my weakness
scoff not part now
plow the ground
and support the groves
of my shortcomings...

Tune weavers sigh and sigh

 The unblinking eye

Embroider thoughts

Tree line Groves

Fingered love prints

Hearts unfold

Cold and broken

Tattered and yellow

Wistful carousel

Going round  round and around

As surely my heart goes......

Birds swim in soapy lily water
Against the currents of time
Fish fly on citrus scented air
Watching centuries pass them by

I love Fall Out Boy
Their songs fill me with joy
Rocking like a punk
And, did I mention that the lead singer is a hunk

Songs like Dance, Dance
Brought their career to a great advance

Dance moves
And awesome groves
Makes Fall Out Boys jam
A grand slam!...

Silver filigree runs down to the beach 
While sunlight glints off villas and cliffs 
Into the Bay of Naples
Capri
Like a cameo against cloud and sea.
Olive groves make a mosaic against the hills 
While lemon trees stud the valley
With jewels among the leaves....

Yawing sunshine
Crowns horizon,
Bees humming 
Delicate blossoms,

Floating billows
Orange hue, 
Swaying groves
Sprinkling dew,

Vibrant butterflies
fluttering by,
Chirping birds
Soaring high,

Azure crystals
Shimmering display,
Beautiful morn
Promising day....

shallow groves
of my mind 
tepid waters break 
over  and over
hollow thought
of you tonight
a car crash
in my life
never was sober
shallow groves
all your lies
insecurities
swallowed whole
i gave up 
when i ran
when you wake up
quite hungover
want to stay in bed...

Among ancient groves,
One summer night alone.
Secrets on the wind.

And awakening to
Mother natures symphonic
Mystery of life.

When people used to
Find a home in the hearth-light,
Owls haunt the hedgerows.

Each day an event
Every step an adventure,
To new horizons!...

wintertime caller 
heavy so flowers calling
in spite of the snow

caller wintertime
a red, merry flower grows
near animals groves

wintertime calling 
heavy so flowers calling
in spite of the snow

I love you wild and free
From midnight to the dawning spree
When broken glass startles the mirror
Our love grows clearer

Through fortune and nebulous climb
Tucked into each other's sides
By mystic banter and throaty relief
Holding still in our belief
That love summits grow
With each passing leaf...

Now sliding in peace the hues of day
Maybe this I fully  know
Above the groves, the lonely plains
Of deepened soot and down to where
The busy metro huffs below--
Again I feel the minty dawn
Swell inside my breath  till all 
Of chilly mist is softly drawn.

belief is the end 
of your awareness
inching snails shrivel
mango groves pregnant
awareness is foolish perfect
mystery of trinity worshiped
black or white blood
is red and warm
today is the 
beginning of to
morrow and the
end of yesterday
the end
absconding thoughts
i am forty my
mother
confessed...
