Fear feels fake
My mistake


Mind mulls more
Sift sound spore


Taste taut tale
Sense sure sale


Weave word writes
Rush recites


Live lush learn
End eats earn


Blush brown bloat
My mind moat

My soul sighs
Poise knows why


My face here
Craze hurls clear


My heart feels
How love heals


My touch knows
Leap that shows


My mind mulls
A deep hull


My words rhyme
Chimes in time


My mood swings
In swift fling

Sad pique here
Bleeds out cheer


Face looks sad
Purge thoughts glad


Mad mind mulls
Sad thoughts dull


Wait on grace
To light face


Mood swings bad
Odd scent mad


Sad and mad
This bad fad


Blues on tap
Fills this gap

Taste touch
Move much


Sense strain
Voice vain


Deep dance
Crush chance


More mulls
Dust dull


Feel frames
Grand game


Words will
Toss thrill


Worn way
Spice say


Now niche
Ripe reach


Blown bits
Form fits

Meet mild
Wash wild


Dig deep
Spur sleep


Mind mulls
Dares dull


Stream sweet
Glare greets


Nice notes
Tough tote


Work wise
Plaid price


Nude news
Sad stew


Trite tease
Points peace


Look left
Craft cleft

The wind hears many secrets
As he blows at his election.
Only a hearer at best –
He mulls them over and again
But doesn’t repeat or think aloud
For there are too many to recount.

The wind also has many lovers –
Appreciating the trees –
Caressing the flowers
And cooling warm cheeks
But preferring to roam –
Blows away to a place unknown....

Something in the historian slant 
   of the mind instinctively mulls over 
      ever-lengthening, darkening shadows
         of all that comes to pass and fades away.


Its pondering, contemplative yet leisurely, 
   soaks in the acute clarity of the present
      then watches it recede and trail behind
         to form part of the landscape of hindsight....

Sense soul stake

Hope heeds here
Claim calm cheer


Death dooms dance
Cause creams chance
Pique prompt prance

Poignant proof primes
Meek memoir mimes


Time tells taut tales
Seek succinct sale


Meet moments meek
Precious plots peek

Calm craft charms choice
Ply profound poise


Sense solemn strains
Prize precious pain

Bitter taste twirls
New thoughts swirl
Ideas now hurl


Black bitter gall
Feel fancy fall
Sleepy stands tall


Niche nature near
Frame fuzzy fear
Dream dazzle dear


Warm coffee brew
Wet morning dew
Dark clouds now stew


Moody mind mulls
Drifting thoughts dull
Maze moments cull


Sleepy stance steers
Hazy hides here
Coffee coasts clear

The wind blew and lighting bugs flew 
 
In on a warm summer night undue. 

A man mutely sitting on the edge 

Of a rocky ledge 

Mulls over of days gone by

Like a river gone dry

Knitting the feelings of the unkind

Past in his mind

Giving into sullen sorrow. 

Maybe it'll change tomorrow.

Nevermore will time be leaden 

With bleakness, but only by death's end.

Mirror image
Word picture stage


Lines casting art
Verse cryptic start


Tale touching time
Word picture rhymes


Sketch subtle say
Wonder wit plays 


Glimpse deeper then
Do you know when


Mindmap mulls steps
Sense a proud gap 


Beyond hope here
Stange good cheer


Proud petty peel
Can joy claim thrill


Make sense of time
Word picture rhymes

Change brings blessings
As time dangles,
Sense true loving
In each tangle.


Words attest work
As space avails,
Time in free jerk
Spreads what prevails.


Touch frees as such
The waves of pain,
Rhymes echo much
Yet not in vain.


Urge memoirs cite
The way of waves,
Distill fine writes
As voice mulls brave.


Keep what you keep
With soul intact,
Feel feelings deep
As change impacts.

Gist in brief list
Poise mulls word mist


Frame buzz in game
Verse binge flings names


Poise in sharp choice
Splash of mood voice


Style works to pile
Touch strays worthwhile


Mood swing now broods
Strange fate of good


Show signs of flow
Feel craft that glows


Fail not brief sale
Words tell your tale


Rites of draft writes
Surge of stray bites


Bits of crisp hits
Dance of odd wit

The old warriors gathered around the camp fire
Those who had fought the good fight in the war mire
There were some with scars that were obvious to all
With an eye put out, an arm or leg missing in fighting mulls

And there were stories of their quests and adventures made
Hearty laughter was heard over and across that didn't fade
All felt comfortable in each other's company of their time
When mate ship and old comrades together was so fine,

Warm words write
Boost brief bites


Sense strokes still
Wear wise will


Swift steam see
Brown brew be


Crude claim culls
Meek mind mulls


Death drones dash
Buzz bright bash


Kind know keep
Dance dream deep


Prize peak part
Ask apt art


Note nice nude
Choice claims crude


Prime proud poke
Cause clears choke


Tweak true toil
Change curls coil


Prompt prize play
Dwell dream day

Perhaps when I throw up 
it's when I'm with you
haphazardly birthing baby
dreams across the cosmos
Perhaps when I'm with me
nothing flies speaking lies
as the autumn season mulls
... one perfectly placed
coffin (or coffee?) 
I caught a whiff of old books
at a red light and how strange
the road is a book-spine without
words or covers
  And someone asked, "would 
you hit a woman with a baby?"
No, I'd hit her with a brick
is the e.e. cummings answer.

I should have let it go,
   theunkind words they spoke
the phrases unjustly, hurtfully said
   but you know me...
My mind thinks and mulls the words
   over and over again.
They churn like whipped shakes and malts
   until they begin to overflow.
Before realized, they spill over
   onto counter tops and make a mess.
Cleanup doesn't serve me well
   as the disliked stickiness is spread
Soon, everyone around sees and knows
   that thing they said  -
I should have let it go,...
