Sunny, serene, silky, they disappear all strife.

When I met you
I thought without
thinking.

When you met me
you felt without
feeling.

I think you now
you feel me, too.

Is that not cool?...

luminescent streams flood through
night's weary shadows
flow through my window, chasing
dark dreams deep into psyche...

Melancholy men meandering many muddy miles. Marred minds, muffled moans, marked madness. Minimized merciful miracles;  morphs mans’ magnified misery.

Yes- it arrives with life's first breath-

        life's ending cycle, known as death.

One never knows the if or when-

        its frigid hand morphs now to then.

A cocoon to butterfly's.
Egg, to free birdie's.
Inseparable from each change
Smooth, painless goes by
Wonder into wisdom morphs.
Shallow, deeper joy.
For what of bodies, souls
Tell us, Earth and Sky....

Everything in my head seems to pile
No way to be still for a while
This migrane of fatigue
How it leaves me unintrigued
My senses it morphs
My mind it contorts
No end to restless tears
Deep sleep never nears...

when fragile candles caress tawny skin, 
you watch the honeyed flame shimmer air. 
This morphs in shade by tinted cream
like jaundiced moths that kiss magenta lips

Life triggers a tickle
and soon, that tickle morphs into a full-blown laugh;
Life's fickle.

Fore-and-after,
a funny happenstance or gaffe;
laughter!

Loud farts
is how a sclaff
starts.

Life triggers a tickle;
a funny happenstance or gaffe
starts....

NEW AGE DYNAMICS 1


New age ethos drives
Urgency here and now
As this weary world
Morphs a new vitality
A sharpening stone
For blunt knives
To cut cleanly away 
Old hangovers
And dangling debris

I cannot

see the ocean

of air

that engulfs me

though I inhale it

and depend

on it

for my life

and yet

I feel its

tactile touch 

tickle my bare skin

as it morphs into a

breeze

and flows over me

Listen to poem:

Scarlet morphs into a shroud of pink; as
Umber tints a brindled horizon, and
Night welcomes an ebony sky filled with
Stars, while a sliver of moonlight rises
Effortlessly in the blackness of night
Tethered to a dying sun as it bleeds....

a magma fountain
molten lava boils the sea...
fire morphs into steam


Kilauea erupts
Hawaiians leave gifts for Pele...
to help stem its flow

Hallucination Engine

Whatever we touch
Morphs
Into a reflection 
Of the toucher 
And so it is
With all senses
Each reflecting
Our sense
Of self
No other but
An engine of creativity
In ever changing
Display

Time turns on wrinkled canvas,
winter spider in twilight hour 
weaves senility web, 
empty eyes wander in wasteland. 
Hedonist psyche refuses 
to gauge the grief of loss. 
Face morphs into metaphor 
for the past panorama dislodged,
captured in the snapshot 
of narcissist impulse congealed.

Fire flames unfurl, morphs in the grim distant horizon.
Smoke whirls as music blares and time to close;
Empty bottles to dispose. His soccer team lost,
Cost its chances at winning a gold medal.
At the end of the night, he didn't get the girl,
Had to settle and curl up with his dog Pearl.

Dusk unveils the stars, at last light;
when blue morphs into ebony.
Silhouettes slowly fade from sight,
and shifting shadows merge as one
heralding the approach of night.
Affirming that day's reign is done,
chameleon clouds shed their white.
And Luna rises splendidly
as darkness saturates the night....

She is my mirror
Sometimes smarter, sometimes braver
Always taller, but sometimes naïve
She is my mirror 
And I watch as she morphs
180 degrees away, yet identical
She is my mirror
Reflecting only the good in me
Someone is casting a shadow
But on whom?

She is my mirror
If she insists on reflecting me
I must be whom I want to see...

What version do you believe? 
The story morphs with each phone ring;
Rumors are my biggest pet peeve;
Have you decided who the villain is yet? 
Be skeptical of the intel you receive 
it could have no basis in truth;
Misinformation is hard to conceive 
desperate to trust what you’re hearing;
Sloppy mouths with dirt up their sleeve....

the prime sigh of the waning twilight
beetle larva gazes at the bright delight
waves of a sleek quaver in a fit sight
She soars towards the azure sky
morphs into the golden syllables
singing of a tawny moon
rouse the tangled yearnings of the soul
whispered hue of a jubilee soothing song
