The old people crew hastens to bathroom
even if earthquake or hurricane looms.
     It’s their mission’s caper
     to waste the most paper.
After relief, activities resume.

Summer's passed on to meltdown
Nature sways in winds of change
A flowing cascade hastens
Woodland stage waits another dawn breaks.

elusive ethereal energy evades each extra entity

frivolously frolicking, fearlessly, forever flirty 

gratefully gleaning gentle grievers’ gratitude

happy heavenly hopper hastens home 

impulsive imaginings, intriguing, interested idealists...

Blue
angels
brave hello,
in full command,
swooshing overhead.
Like the sun at twilight —
so low, with hurricane force.
Swift temptation tips cochlea —
you must obey the dust devil’s thrust —
the haboob hastens your smile reaction.

Another rainy day too dreary, lacking sleep, eyes still bleary;
head still hurting in pain aching hastens me for the waking.  
Whiskey, rye, and rum are speaking, to the wisdom I’ve been seeking,
I ask myself, beg, beseech me, “Will I learn?  Who will teach me?”...

These images afore my slumbering eyes,
the whimsical, nonsense scenes
quickly morph into the
two headed demon
that hastens the pulse
and terrorizes the soul.
Even when awake,
I cannot shake
the panic instilled.
So I lay awake
counting the stars
in my head....

Confident will, covet the other
the only desire hastens in feather 
scutter with wings to reach and cuddle

hence the flower blazing in sun 
fud its feeling in well and run 
impaired it stays for days an days
to find one reason to blaze
and bring back what once was phaze...

Ah, when the window feeder is set in place 
Crested male blue jay hastens to call and feed, 
So bossy, chattering, giving smaller birds no space 
Such unnecessary ruckus over bits of suet and seed 
Blue jay, the bully, seems to have an inner complex need.

winter into spring
	monochrome takes on color ~
		summer hastens in

spring into summer
	fading from green to yellow ~
		frenzied fruitful fall 

summer into fall
	royal gems explode in trees ~
		white winter enters

fall into winter
	colors fade to nothingness ~
		spring rises anew...

* comes eve hums heart, marvels my mind on heart’s weird ways     
* when heart whispers who hastens to hush up my head’s whine?    
* heart whispers… head hastens to harvest the yield       
* be still O heart halt all thy murmurs… hush up O head... let me hear me
* my heart when whispers, touches deep to relate with soul

let the four winds blow...
away out on the mountain
beyond the sunset 

beyond the sunset...
to waltz within winds of change
leaf of life mutates

leaf of life mutates
a flowing cascade hastens...
woodland stage awaits

woodland stage awaits
summer’s gone into meltdown...
another dawn breaks.

When restless suns have cast their final ray
Upon this space of ground that I've possessed
And hymns of sorrow punctuate the day
This soul of mine shall have its lasting rest.
Then tongue shall once again of briefness speak
Life's swift journey once again reviewed,
That cause which hastens anxious men to seek
Will lead another man to faith endued....

broken spindle lay on its side
the stair rail weakened 
Can an hour glass turn itself?
no one hastens the seeming repose

splintered spindle reclines in peace
raggedy doll's eyes are closed
and the hour glass gathers dust
objects jog her memories of a fight


spindle in one scarred hand
doll clutched in the other
she turns the hour glass over
day of new beginnings...

we become so intent
on living a bitter life
it triggers God's lament
and hastens human strife

it's easy to not say a word
and see how things change
but freedom flies away like a bird,
and death bares its unruly fangs

if sinful nature is our fault
and their cries are our deed,
then let's not seal our guilt in the vault.
let's acknowledge our massive greed...

My heart beat hastens,
like a herd of butterflies taking flight,
stampeding my stomach.

Unable to explain the need,
burning like a flame,
consuming all thought,
deep desire, a soul on fire.

The compulsion exists.
I can't resist.
Must continue, persevere.
A change of venue,
gotta run, escape,
evade this unknown beast.

Hanging on by a yarn,
imbedded fingers on a cliff,
below, a never ending abyss....

Rustling leaves whispers something
 Grasses on the ground kiss my foot
 The cool breeze hastens the buds to bloom
Buds adore it and bloom earlier
Flowers shake their heads,smile blissfully,
Spread fragrances to gather my attention 
The mango tree vigorously waggles branches,
tries to shower the ripened mango fruits 
Seem they are all happy about one thing
.            My visit to the old home garden...

Goodbye first kiss; into
Oblivion our last.
Oh, Romeo, could I ever let go of a lover's clasp?
Darkness is still, hovering limp.
Beyond eons of lost breaths, you live
Yet your lungs give no lift.
Every hidden kiss is etched in the stars. Could I ever

Love another you?
Oh, Romeo, let nightfall swallow me, too.
Vehemently, you slip away with hesitation.
Every melting heartbeat hastens my fate.

Grimy hands hastens to 
undress me
cold fingers rubs my numb 
body
in vain,warmth eludes
little feet scurry past me
a moment's pause,my glazed 
eyes
widens small eyes,fixed in 
eternity.

Someone casts a shadow over 
me
i long to crawl back to her 
womb
stroke my hair,please!she jus 
sighs
I'm screaming in the abyss of 
silence
the rattling of the wheel-chair 
across the floor
is the only echo of my chained 
voice....
