Short Pacts Poems

Listen to poem:

Unconfounded by a doltish lack
of general public adoration,
our poetry we'll offer here --
and bend each other's hungry ears
in supportive, negotiated pacts
of (mostly) mutual appreciation....

like caterpillars 
midst white-wrapped leaves hang snowdrops ---
the sun sweeps them crystal clean 

friendliness paved betwixt plants 
butterflies purify pacts ---
blooms stand silent still

within shells even snails rock 
in mesmerized moods ---
universe its flow transforms

Come let us seek and find
A vivid peace of mind


Come let us feel and act
A gracious truth love pacts


Come let us forge and feed
A fragrant poise we seed


Come let us know and live
A timely flow joy gives


Come let us learn and earn
A happy tact discern


Come let us claim and urge
A sacred code truth merge


Come let us write and cite
A vision in deep rites

fly me away
high above the waves
 
looking down into the depths 
jellyfish cresting waves
minnows in the shallows
silvery slicks of scales
salted air dotted 
with sprinkly sand
 
painted sea shells
crabs coddling the sand, 
sealing pacts with the water.
 
eels electric in nature
spiraling driftwood
winds whip like cream up around my body.
 
Heaven's scent
glowing ringlets reflected
in the water
 
Stars in charge 
coming home to a place to be....

The night has befallen me
Rescue me, unchain me
Sacred Lorelei
Bleeding a passion of royalty
Forever I'll follow your Argentine cloak
with the most deadly pacts
beautiful Witch 
Sacred Lorelei

Tell me did the ravens Hear my cry
My misery's plea
Sacred Lorelei
Was this all just upon a dream
Lucidity becoming reality
of my Sacred Lorelei

A fiat of darkly desire
from a most beautiful witch
unchaining the burden of my misery
All for my
Sacred Lorelei ...

Change comes calling clear:
Sense something special steer.


Change charms crystal clear:
Dance dreamy daze dear.


Change craves cheery calm:
Prompt poise pins pure psalm.


Change croaks cheeky choice:
Nurture now not noise.


Change claims crumbling clay:
Deed defines dream day.


Change clears cloudy crest:
Bright blooms blossom best.


Change coins clever case:
Poise pacts poignant pace.

Listen to poem:

The ocean sparkles
in the morning light.
We sip hot coffee;
you cough, turn your head.
Eyes say more than words.
Ties connecting us
dissipate in sunshine.
Waves which wash ashore,
this white-flecked water,
underscore your silence.
Last night, in humid darkness,
velvet-feeling black, we joined --
made pacts that daylight violates.
I will not understand your shame.
You will not see my heart-hurt face,
nor will you long remember
my already half-forgotten name....
