Poem with No Idea

I had an idea for a poem
You must trust me - it was great.
I would love to share it with you,
But it left on an outbound freight....

Outbound

'Tis near the end of year again

I saw honking geese in outbound skein,

Off, away to warmer climes

No lovers they, of wintertime....

naked gun

There once was a man who loved guns
With women he hit no home runs
He'd whip out his round
And shoot it outbound
While wishing to target their buns...

Outbound Faeries Were Way Too Slow

The inbound faeries were landing too fast.
They came in droves from first to last.
They landed on Dexter and Hobble and Go.
Our outbound faeries who were way too slow....

Opals

Opalescent leaves fall
outside summer's green door.
Outbound, a year sparkles
once age has come with grace.
Orange sun, red roses
of a starry evening.
Old age looks back, dreaming....

Nothing But Time

Nature resplendent
  fog settling down

Darkness retreating
  storm clouds outbound

Sun reemerging
  rainbow behind

Spring in the meadow
  —nothing but time

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2014)...

Pretty Lies

Faberge lillies secluded in secrecy
outbound for vast gayness
Irredesent dreams of shrouded angst
perpetual delima abound from baby smiles
Frolicking in and frolicking with animosity
of imagined cherubs with soft eyes 
and pretty lies...

When Johnny Raced the Bat

Do you recall where you were at
the day that Johnny raced the bat?
I was but a lad of eight.
A bat shot out of Hell, damned straight.
Johnny flew like an outbound freight.
A front row seat is where I sat
the day that Johnny raced the bat....

Captain 2

There are ports you can't reach ,Captain,
you can not fill the gaps
do not count outbound
stars are gleams to far away

What was the last commandent,Captain,
what did you leave the harbour
with a few passengers
is the bleeding your heart...

Outbound Flight

A silver green beetle in the palm of your hand
click clacking click clacking
it's credulous wings
to the metal bent rhythm of flying
A string of invisible gravity spinning
impossibly lifts him right into the blue
We stand there and marvel alone in his echoes
and tap out a rhythm of feet on the move......

Within the Fog

Within the fog
there is nothing to see but sea
nothing but wind and wave
nothing but dawn which gave
vision to melody

Within the fog
there is nothing to hear but sea
nothing but ocean sound
nothing but gulls outbound
illusion of harmony

Within the fog
there is nothing to touch but sea
nothing but salt and sand
nothing but waves wet hand
collision with divinity

Within the fog....

Is Something Calling Again

Is something calling again
   From the distant hills outbound?
Is it a small voice within
   Or something hidden without?

What awaits you down the road
   Once you cross the valley bridge?
Should you find it and take hold
   Will it satiate a wish?

Will you bring just a trace home
   To keep like you've never left?
Would you soon divulge of some
   Memories upon your breath?...

Seaward

I am a vessel on a sea
within the harbours sanctuary,
its granite arms enclose me safe
and mask the waters stormy face.

Here I am moored in a small life
protected from the gales of strife,
the whispering sounds beyond the walls
I cannot distinguish at all.

Oh from taught chains I would be freed
then unrestrained I’d gather speed
outbound to the expansive sea
the synthesis of liberty....

Blurred

Blurred and broken lines.
The charred stumps of ancient pines.
Receiver of an ordinary life.
A directive of outbound strife.

Lost in a sea of shifting light.
The way forward or back is severely tight.
Crystalline formations of danger.
The battered muse is getting ever stranger.

Hope has ceased in circular motions.
Drowned and swept in infinite oceans.
You write because your mind is broken.
Out of power. Insert more tokens....

Heart-Shaped Clouds

Clouds playing around
In the sky tramping above the ground
Dangling in merry-go-round
Smiling at you year-round

One cloud zoomed outbound
Glittering ice flakes fall in mound
Flowers and trees have all found
Heart-shaped clouds in pieces on the mound

Crystals in diamonds plodded on the ground
Stayed and freezed like a heart spellbound
Prayers in hearts everywhere that astound
Heart-shaped clouds in you, dwell pound for pound...

Missing Hope

The delicate of words that fallow 
That gives no sorrow
Claiming many of the feelings
It is gone without dealings
Shock in many occasions 
With outbound decisions
Leaving without explanation
That life has a destination
Lost in the clouds
Into the outstanding crowds
Lesson to be learned
But found that you have been burned
Shocked to be afraid
And no one to give you aid
Deep in many thoughts
Comes words that shocks
Leveled out beliefs
And just one word deceives...
