is this summer’s most delightful rover
He’ll swim and he’ll play

Sadness echoes once more in my chambers,
pain, residing in me like a filthy squatter,
and my heart is squalid,
unfurnished.

Surrounded in you,
you are the fastness of my echo....

Old Paddy supped ten pints of  ale
Now drunk as a skunk, he turned pale
He slewed to the right
Got into a fight
Now Paddy’s residing in jail!

kindly snuff it out.
I'm  residing in this corner and
only through voices  we will know one another.
LIGHT teaches; darkness erases.
My TASK  is still incomplete....

ride-a-long rational resultants,
residing reluctantly, revealing
resounding, resourceful, recurrent,
reticent, resonate romances. Replies
readily rightfully recorded....

I wake
Search
Grope into the void...
Searching
Not finding
Still searching...
Poking
Piercing
Penetrating...
With a vague hope
That my lost self 
May be residing somewhere...!

residing in Ireland's verdant vales,

violent, vikings by valiantly fighting back victoriously....

That there was
A hint of love
Coming my way from
Your heart I would embrace
The opportunity to
Respond in kind and give you all
Of the love residing in my heart
And make you the queen of my lonely kingdom...

There was a young woman who liked to spend,
                Many days and nights without end.
                Her credit cards she did max;
                Must have been that awful tax.
                Residing now in the  women's pen....

My favorite Christmas present
a bunch of lilies white as a milky crescent
by street children who reside in the slums
came to meet me to offer them some alms

I saw almighty residing in their eyes
a gleam of joy enshrined in my heart in arise...

Old buttons and fragile lace gloves
Soft swinging dress and simple pearls
Residing in a wooded frame
She is only a memory

I’ve oft seen her tired solemn face
In the yellowed and worn pages
Of old family picture books
A reflection of poverty...

It is a bit of an inconvenience to have
A werewolf living in our refrigerator,
A troll residing in your underwear drawer
And a vampire who reads our mail.
My husband looks up. “That’s right,” he says.
Assuring me that he is indeed listening to my every word....

O Borobudur, I shed  my clothes to  reach the  winds of your dome.
Each footprint marking life’s trails engraved in dampened memoirs
Now, breaths  enter  an unlit mosque residing within  me

The grit of breadcrumbs,
That pass between our thumbs
When I exchange a brew for a kiss.
It’s these Sunday mornings I miss.

Let us savour these hours,
Residing in the conversations of others.
Give me this instead of flowers,
The language of mothers and lovers....

Baby I hold you above
the cold August Wind
with the sweetest songs I can sing.

Keep them in a Pot
Locke d 
against all natural sin

The eyes of free men
search for it still
though  

no one can smile
into the eyes of an infant
and imagine evil residing there....

Chilly atmosphere has made me rigid
No longer flexable or able to bend
Teflon heart
Longed for heartfelt whisphers 
But got concrete and steel
Built a fortress around my tears
No one can penetrate this broken shell
Withdrawing into solitude
Residing in my own private hell....

Do words live in my fingers
Making escape from the mind
Or might they be under keys

If they do live in the keys
Can I touch with my fingers
I hope they will never mind

But they sit within my mind
Not crammed inside the keys
Residing underneath fingers

Fingers put my mind to keys...

She was next to me, She was real. How could this be? She so long the substance of my most hopeful daydreams. Physically so far away, but residing in my heart everyday. Could she be mine for more than this weekend? Only if fate smiled upon us, around the bend. Would her heart open again, and let me in?...
