The Ayes of Texas

Texans are not known for their brains
Which go off the rails just like trains
But why should they care?
They're going nowhere
Why worry who's holding the reins?

She Walks Through the Door

A brazen chime, did eyes fare grander?
Her inward jazz, knowing--love me now.
O patient, quiet reins
Save tomorrow
Under violet's waltz. 
Xerxes' yelping zenith.

Corral Two Step

Rattling  hocks
And that mane flowing free
Stirrups adangle 
You danced around me
Wrapped up in reins
And enraptured it's true
It was a cinch I'd be saddled with you

I Am Not Alright Jack

Jack, why do you hurt me so?
Untie the reins and let me go
Unlock the shackles that bind
And set me free to find
Myself.
Me, Who is she?
I no longer know
Where did I go?

Mission San Luis Rey De Francia

California's riches mission.
White brick structures simply glisten.
Great spread ranches, nice addition.
Wine and cattle.
Peacful life with no bad friction.
Reins and saddle.

Drop the Reins and Pour Me a Drink

    The dog days of summer, certainly here
    Every half-hour, another shot of beer
        Too lazy to move
        I’m stuck in a groove
    Glad my new car doesn’t need me to steer

Than-Bauk

than-bauk goes down
and around thoughts
to drown boredom

than-bauk takes pains
down the brain's stem
and reins-in smiles

than-bauk's stair steps
boast well-swept words
and depth of wit

Night Horses

They say idle hands are the devil's play things Keep busy to have a productive exuberant fling Night horses invade my brain They pull on my reins About as scared as this scaredy cat's been

Harlot

crimson lips
stained with blood of saints
rides the beast
steers the reins
embittered roar portends doom
her end imminent

Go For It

boldly grasp reins
with both hands
forge your path
never hesitate

Divorce

his gun
train’s smoky veil
she was fighting
her reins
the train stops
some words would
send her off
miles away
one more job
the telephone pole
wires gone bad
a horse would believe
recollection of a house
in spite of himself

Africa 2 Acrostic

AFRICA 2

Adoration of sunlit bold high plains
Frozen herds torn from creation’s page
Rocking tribal fears—who’s got the reins?
Innocents are hurt while tempers rage
Call for voices high and voices strong
Africans say hide when things go wrong

Grateful For Gods Grace

flowers and birds
butterflies and words
twirling with dance
children who prance
happiness reins
wheat, corn and grains
I am thankful for so many joys
the laughter of happy little girls and boys
God's grace saves us all

As the Palm Trees Sway

    Drift the hours away
       no plans or goals to weigh
    Whatever comes my way… 

    On the back of imagination
       purest creativity
    Fling aside reins of civility

    Run together, each and every day
       as the palm trees sway…

Drifter Accursed

thrown back
amidst the liar's ruin
weathered with the reins
wrapped around his hand
pressed on
over dusk flooded fields
should it never lift
and drown the thistle
heard still
phantom hoovesteps pounding
as the drifter accursed
takes flight and is gone

A Lynching For Santa

Santa went out last night dressed as the Grinch. 
Partied too much got into a tight pinch. 
Woke with aching hangover.
Mrs. Santa, boil-over, 
Bells ringing, threaten with deer's reins to lynch.

Deathly

the man rode the horse
he left the reins
sometimes he had to live like this 
like everyone

woman looked very long from after
to go was unknown
some questions stuck in our minds
like everyone

the same pain in both
love hits the heart of
some things had to happen
deathly

Coasting

he floated in mid air
feet never touching ground
refusing responsibility
for his destiny

a drifter
open to anything
a puppet

never occurring to him
he could
at any moment
grab the reins
