The cleansing heat of the midday sun
Warms my soul
The ladder proffered down to escape my hole
I sit, we sit, they sit
The aches take their toll
Life unberable is created..
Proffered Then death by needle
Great effort Enjoined to sanitize
Waste of human rescources
Before our western walls !
Take the proffered hand,
with unconditional love,
cradling soul in close embrace.
The vast universe,
has but a single heartbeat;
it is the heartbeat of God.
healing proffered
to unwilling receptors
pauses in the bardo
love employs no force
and so it waits
for eternity if needed
time yields to love

Three in one,
prophetic comes
One for all,
each heart enthralled
Confusion proffered,
diffusion reigns
Salvation offered
—all reason feigned

In Denver a waitress supreme,
Always proffered her scones dipped in cream,
She would wriggle her hips,
So she got lots of tips,
While the menfolk all let off some steam!!
Phyllis Phyffer phoned a friendly farmer,
And proffered a mere pittance for his land.
"Phooey!" fumed the fairly livid farmer,
And dropped the phone receiver from his hand.

wordlessly the gift is given
proffered by an upturned face
silent recognition as the eyes embrace
of intimate connection
an acknowledgment of grace
which brought two lives together
at this time and in this place
assistance asked
our hand proffered
there’s magic in touch
making trauma bearable
why should the dream
be painful and unpleasant
when a whiff of love’s essence
heals and anneals heart that feels

what caused us to ignore
the proffered hand
seeking touch
is it a sin
to look away
feigning indifference
shimmers in the vibrant void
appear and disappear
orbiting love
inhibition
mask of protection
unnecessary when all are one
after much dilly dallying
olive branch is proffered
mind analyses
looking for a motive
heart embraces
knowing only love
nonchalance
smiles and yawns
consciousness triangulates
all aspects of its awareness
mode and mood celebratory
MY SILLY VALENTINE
love
two struck
he timid
she so demure
chocolates proffered
reluctant acceptance
all about waistline worries
“fat or thin i’ll love you as much”
says he going down on one knobby knee
“oh tee hee” says she stuffing greedily
Rebuke the wind and water,
Tell them not today.
stop the time and still my rhyme.
My love has gone away.
Rebuff all life's advances
send back the proffered rose,
I've lost my breath
in my love's death........
my dreams have gone astray.
The mirror calling deepest
is the one that you avoid
Images run left then right
your back turned paranoid
Unwillingness to turn around
in fear of what you’ll see
Illusion as your proffered choice
—reflection waits unseen
(Dreamsleep: April, 2023)
It’s not fair how the heart fails
to completely heal, no matter
friendly medicines proffered,
prostheses patiently plugged,
eventual atrophied acceptance;
memories fade away, like streams
joining a river, but not to wash away
they just become part of the ocean.
I stood before the homeless man
My face lit in righteous Lincoln green.
He thanked me for the proffered booty
And
I was magnanimous
In my acceptance.
He gazed at me
For the moment it took
For me to turn,
And walk away...
I was no longer sure of my feelings.

It’s Regal Lager
Anyway you look at it
Forwards or backwards
Just grab a hot dog
Slop some mustard on it
Relish if proffered
Take a squishy bite
Then wash it round with Regal
Soak it up with chips
Grab another dog
Another beer it’s summer
Forget the paunch the hips
When two minds click, it's ecstasy
Creative flames leap to and fro
Ideas flow so easily
When two minds click, it's ecstasy
New theories proffered breezily
Abstract musings yield seeds to sow
When two minds click it's ecstasy
Creative flames leap to and fro
(Iambic tetrameter)
A squirrel jumped onto my windowsill
It was not afraid of me
I winked at it, proffered a cup
Mouthed, ‘Would you like some tea?’
It hopped on in and dipped its head
right into the scalding hot tea
And that was the first and last time
that varmint took an invite from me
Once to love, much to tears; denotes the journey
Throughout the years; to find the space, the
Special time, mankind pursues with plans designed
Unsure is oft.' there are ways and falls, spurning the proffered
Doubting all.' In passing thought I cast opine
Let chance into play, ere the curtains fall..'
Fantasy,
a past remembered
Travesty,
regret in embers
Sophistry,
no reason proffered
Majesty,
the treasure offered
Artistry,
the future tendered
Modesty,
true self is rendered
Memory,
where life is gathered
Presently,
—the time that matters
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2016)
(a thought rendered as a Senryu poem string)
A thought - proffered
by a jackal of a boy
that I dislike.
Has stayed with me
with an irritating,
cold dissonance.
For several days
- I’ve been turning it over
- somehow, it rings true.
“All romance aside,
in the long run, we must be
mutual sex objects.”
Petrifying prediction proffered.
Abhorrent abominations
and shapeless shadows stalk streets.
Perpetually pitch
as Luna's light lapsed.
Prostrate and pray:
Stygian
nightmare
roused.

(Eighth Place)
Darkness never proffered the pure pleasure of the sun
Its predatory prescient presence was never any fun
The light of reason helps to show a way to live the night
To guide the steps a man must take to wake in dawning light
To sleep to dream to plan to live to love to work to build
A stair of turning upward steps till darkness is revealed
As nothing more than simply lack of light
