Tuning out the crowd
The hunger mixes within
Deep inside her heart...

I just want to write
I hate when he keeps talking
mixes my words up...

A power comes
Soul flies, 
Body mixes
With dusts, 
We call it
Death....

the bread is baked and living


love is in the air...

tinted by the setting sun
artist mixes oils

Light dances at night
                                       Star mixes with the day's bright
                                             Dark is it's sweet friend...

Mud puddle Marvin makes messy mixes
Never nailed Nanette notices noodles by nixes
Ostentatious Oscar organizes oatmeal fixes
Providing proof personified, pixie counts by sixes...

Listen to poem:

A splotch of orange
spills over East,
mixes with and washes away
night dark and moon yellow.
Golden quiet transmutes
to silver sound, and tousled sleep
awakes to fresh-combed day....

the sun sets maroon
	around eight o’clock

it mixes elegantly
	with the electric streetlights

in the parking lot.
	I take out my pen

& add cranberry /
	orange juice to the list...

here the sky mixes with the ocean and
steam comes off the waves

the spray make rainbows by the thousands

at the break

I hear your voice
wild against my ear

coming across the distant wind...

A plethora of birds
were seeking refuge
Not in the trees
But on a turtle’s back

I had no idea what this meant
But climate change is mixing up everything
I sat back and watched
Fascinated and intrigued...

Water is flowing
This is a world in liquid.
without shape or form.

Here’s the solid earth
When it mixes with water
it only makes mud.

When Nature mixes her colors well who is to tell
When the tiger passes amid the autumn grasses?
So many colors to be found
So many shades of yellow, gold and brown
Is there anyone who sees 
When the tiger passes
Amid the autumn grasses?...

Blood flows from the wound
Scarlet pools down dirty streets
Those who live know their doom
Life is gone, death will greet

Tears are stained red 
Blood mixes well with tears
The living lay on their death beds
The dead have no fears...

I love it when i
realise the day
The captured smells amidst the sunny prone
mixes of chocolate and spilled fizz
splattered lotion and water spray
melted blacktop and toasted toes
realising the day within the day
and the seconds within moments...

Always love for a lifetime
Though fate written in stars
Pink hearts still beat for others
Red blood always mixes in pairs
Vibrant spring, hard to find
To dream about perfect love
Flowers of the heart are silently sent
Iron letters warm and radiant....

Power-house kid mixes milk and some FLOUR
with dirt; he's planning a really big FLOW'R.

He is OUR young grandson and hopes to see
within the HOUR (or less) a dumpling tree.

I explain: DUE to the dawn's heavy DEW,
the ground apologizes: "No can DO!"

it is often fought
no guns, no arrows
no tears roll away
hearts break in bits
in heart to heart fight
rage mixes with glory
pleasure rolls chaos
a war taken willingly
savage fighting savage
and blood  flows silently
no one is left behind
in this beautiful war...

Orange red the yellow;
Brown cow moo-ed
While white pigeons grin;
Grapes and raisins beloid;
From deep purple to blue;
Varies rainbow glitters;
Kaleidoscopic mixes strange bed-fellows;

At any given moment, someone is stocking shelves

Putting the ping-pong balls next to the beer,
Ketchup next to the hot dog buns,
Strawberries next to the shortcake mixes.

	In the parking lot cherry pits line the concrete gutters

All things in their proper place....

I'm sitting silently 
I had so much to say
But the words stuck in my mouth
I don't know how to write love language
How a broken heart fix the rhythm of life
All the tears frozen in my eyes
Some invisible mixes in the sea
I want this time to rain
But I got wet inside myself....

A knife penetrating through
My layers of sentinels
Mixes the poison 
With my blood
Terrorized, lobotomized
I tread the path
Scratching the doors
No one to open
Surrounded by rocks
Bound to be crushed
Vultures pick up the pieces
Spat in disgust
Not hard enough
Could I become...

Rain upon me
 in such Delights 
milky cloudz field filled with moistures trife 
rain down on the grounds 
puddles motion with rainwater
drenching down upon the dirt 
splashes mixes together to make children's chocolate milk

The moon and I
are alone on this night
in the dim yellow light
the mist mixes
strudels like
dead insects
bits of rotting bait
ciggy butts
fish guts

Bottle tops swim
glisten as they swirl
in the pounding waves
across my sunken trawler

The moon and I
are still alone
at first light
no land
no rescue boat
in sight....

The moon spoons pieces of jeweled firmament from the universe's dark heart
into her golden bowl, mixes incandescent milk with a cool touch,
then pours it all out on us in tender love, hoping we are ready for such a gift.
