Face to face at last

Perpetual gaze is held

No words are spoken

Hands reaching out with purpose

You grab the last cookie first

the last
of seven
hard-fought contests
high school band celebrates 
a first


the last
of four tries
to birth a son
finds them with five girls AND
a first...

Self last, God first

Do see
Illusion
Separation
Mere thought construct quelled in meditation

I'm writing a book, I've got the page numbers done
Could be a best seller, maybe even become number one
Writing the last page first
How it starts is my thirst
Okay I'm totally bonkers, think I've become unstrung...

His life spinning inward,
  to its center returned

A whirlwind of intent,
 —through the maelstrom it churned

His end was beginning,
  as the last became first

All time banished outward,
 —evil Gargouille dispersed

At once my thoughts be still
To hear your voice so calming
Your song a melody
All but late in passing

Through my eye you run
From last to first return
If only gone was time
I'd be your arms surrounding

For every day is turning
And every night so long
Forgotten is no option
You'll be my home, my song...

at last...

      into the sunrise sea

         of my  mellow sunset, 

            I shall wade, I shall sink ,

               deep into  the penumbra
  
               of an old, oblique horizon, 

            and only then shall I be 

         blissfully nothing again,

      like I truly was

at first......

Adam was an 
acceptable accountant
And Eve a bubblingly 
bright bookkeeper;
Adam loved the 
First-In, First-Out
Accounting (FIFO) system, 
While Eve preferred 
The Last-In, First-Out
Inventory (LIFO) system;  
Together they testified that
Inventoried sweet fruit 
should neither 
Sits and spoil 
nor go to the 
Garden wastebasket 
Wrongfully....

Fall; unlike privileged non dreamers that take the risk by swallowing, and slowly letting
life trail behind them, without the thought of the next tomorrow, and the next tomorrow,
and the next tomorrow. Glide down swiftly, as if your only dream came close by end, and
captured waves of sun joined, in one last warmth, that you never knew you could ware. Last
and First....

Road span of knots, 
panels off line,
concrete of slopes, 
signs every mile.    

Dogged heart beats,
all here in haste,
tense nerves of streets,
the last – the first,

Wheel marks of brake,  
air petrol fume,
black traces fade,
combustion doom.

Wrong pulse on earth, 
neurons at odds,                                                   
no cares on death, 
tired soul of clots....

The mish now buried in the mash,
  the dog caught rooting through the trash

With litter scattered far and wide,
  the pieces gather, the Cheshire hides

All lollygaggers out in front,
  those last now first, a noble stunt

The blend what’s vital, layers bake,
  Choo Choo Mamma—Potpourri Babycakes

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2017)
…written while listening to ‘Come Together’
 by the Beatles...

From the beginning 
we shake hands with death
At first as a stranger
when caught in its net

And last as a friend
bearing gifts from beyond
A bridge for one crossing
past futures begone 

While leaving behind
 the measure of fate
 Transcending tomorrow
  we unlock its gate

What’s last becomes first
closing open interred
a singular journey
—not shaken but stirred

(Watching 14 Peaks: December, 2021)...

Stand by and watch your life pass,
as it flies

Fly high not with sorrow or sighs
change today , forget tomorrow
say to the past goodbye..

Goodbye mistakes made in the yesterday, find a strength,
faith, and have it as you may

May you live for tomorrow, loving, forgiving, learning from your 
yesterday

Yesterday a vision of past so become new, reborn and make that journey last

Last before, first today, come what will as it may.......

Holding out that little longer
Something special worth the wait
Noticed, meeting, crushing, dating
Then, at last, that first great kiss

It was a Spring day, end of May,
Her cheeks were red, like poppy flowers,
I whispered slowly, scared, please stay,
I hold her hand and talked for hours,

Holding out that little longer,
A blessed life, I happily say
Our genuine love becomes much stronger,
It was that first great kiss that made us stay....

Last night I had a very strange,
     but lovely dream

One tiny crystal drop of dew
     from nowhere with a gleam

Very softly fell upon my pillow,
     turning it to bright yellow

Erasing the darkness, painting
     the night with heavenly light

Leaving me stunned, wondering
     where it came from, where it went

Last thing I forget, first thing I remember
     when I recall the matter

Almighty Heaven gave a gift of love,
     called you, to me and your mother....

Sweet floral wine aged with a fine distinction
permeates violet fluorescence through the air 
silenced souls and the years cut into the night
and wrapped about the pinkest moon  reunite

Love held at bay bringing life to weathered sails
under whispered breath and last nights first kiss
eyes widen with each anxious glance embraced
as time slowly tics hearts become gallantly graced

Flushed with feelings captured in a glow anew 
It's never, never too late for a love that is true...
