Eyes catch, then let go;
Rivulets run to the chin,
Then drop.
Remembrance walks in mud....

Drip, drip
rivulets run
a spot of green
Spring is sprung
birds chirp
bees buzz
Life continues earth renews
eternally...

In my distant childhood

we raced small coracles,
formed from walnut shells;
down rivulets in gutters
of our smoggy streets....

rivulets of condensation drip down
the sides of tall glasses-- iced water
lemon slices flavour refreshing reflections...

Chilly, silken rivulets rain

and break the bound

by their chains

those tears of sorrow

loss and shame

began the dawn

and swept the pain.....

He saw her through the glass
Fast running rivulets coursing
Between her heaving breasts
His heart
Began to pound
She was beautiful
Utterly gorgeous...

words hurled in anguish
pierce translucent hearts apart;
rivulets of pain
await our healing love -- scared 
behind reluctant red doors

When I hurt and I bleed
You rush into my dreams
Staunching the rivulets of blood
With a tourniquet woven from love 
Caring, healing
I wake up renewed

I am the pebble,
Tossed to the open sea.
I am the rivulets,
Resounding openly.

I am the tiny raft,
Tossed to and fro about.
I float above the surface,
The waves they want me out....

Opaque opiums surfaced
Brash helpless I languish
Menial remained purpose
Opaque opiums surfaced
Rivulets of solace purchased
By stimulus I am vanquished
Opaque opiums surface
Brash helpless I languish...

Listen to poem:

Droplets beget
drips and drops that fall
to splash, splat 
plip and plop
in pool below.

Dew doplets
beaded on glass and leaves,
coalesce as rivulets, 
let to run down panes 
when it suffices....

Look out o'er the water
   thoughts ebb and flow
Stroll down the boardwalk
   miles and miles to go

Reflect and refresh to
   water's eddies and time 
Seeking new rivulets
   of rhythm and rhyme...

Oh, strip me naked
Bare my soul….reshape me
Torch my very spirit.
Sate my ashen fields
With riotous rivulets
Seduce my arid beauty
Entice my dormant life
To bloom, to dance upon
Dawn’s fickle wind....

his pained smile belies

          rivulets of quiet rage...

                    coursing through his veins

Rivulets of ice hung greedily
to the barren, brown, basalt,
like ribbon-candy in a baby’s hand.
The sweet, wet, drool oozed from Mother Earth,
like a frozen curtain draping the mist scattered day,
hiding the promise of spring....

Love
is like lively rivulets 
meandering through
valleys and meadows
merging into the sea,
like myriad stars
illuminating the heavens
dazzling the firmament

His head droops
listless mid-day
Waves of heat
Collar damp
shirt clings
Seconds drag
Minutes, eternities
Knees rain perspiration
Rivulets of sweat 
in between the lines
His pen, heavy
ink drains
eyelids heavy
slumber stalks him...
