it is a cold winter day
the heat pump is broken 
and the cold slowly spreads
through the frozen pipes
spreading death and destruction
as it permeates across the house

Love baby love
Hang in your heart my photograph

Stare baby stare
See pensively how much I care

Touch baby touch
Feel with heart I love you how much

Kiss baby kiss
Give me a chance to enjoy bliss

Hug baby hug
Never throw me like an old rugo...

Just Shoot me

in 1996 I had the injury
that changed my life

went jogging 
fell off a ledge
broke my heel

screamed out in pain
just shoot me

then someone hit me
with a frying pan
ended up 
in the hospital 

pensively 101 three word challenge, shoot, pain pan...

Last Entry for May

on the last day 
of the month of May

he made an entry 
into his blog
on this date
I met my fate

he wrote 
about the dream
he had that date

that would haunt 
his dreams
for eight years

one day she walked 
out of the dream
and into his life
becoming his wife

nature 
is not God
but God revealing His weight
Himself and all His glory
through the looking glass of
nature

beauty
is a reflection
that mirrors His creation
pleading for our eyes to
see His face in visionary
beauty

souls
inner deep search
verifying love and believing
seeking Him not the thing
gazing pensively within 
souls

In a stolen moment
of solitude I sit
at the base of my
bookshelf and
surrender to swirling
synaptic symphonies of
Solzhenitsyn

In yet another
purloined pause
I pensively peruse
Poe’s pedantically
petrifying ponderings

I desperately desire
a day to dutifully
devour Dickinson’s
dreamy dirges

Alas
my children call
and I must leave
my literary wonderland
all is not lost
for bedtime is near
and Dr. Seuss awaits...

Aster 'Blue Autumn,' summer wanes. 
The shining sky of dusk is drenched in splendor.
Tremulously, I watch shadows that arrive 
all to soon-to purloin sun's last rays. 

Aster 'Blue Autumn,' Virgo aches, 
and you're re-birthed from star dust that she cries- 
to bloom beneath blue skies until the fatal time
when breath is snatched . . . Pensively I wait.

Inspired by the Aster flower named Blue Autumn
For the '8 Lines Of Beauty - Lyric' Poetry Contest of Rick Parise...

So many pearls before the swine
He didn’t know which to pick
So fell asleep and dreamed to fly
Straight up to some Alpean peak
There he took selfies, drank high tea
And then he flew back home
Down to the native piggery
Where one day he was born
His dream was suddenly cut short
No pearls around he saw
He yawned and in surprise he snored
Chewed pensively a straw
He thought “if I were not a swine
A butterfly I’d like to be
On multicoloured wings I’d fly
This time towards the sea.”
