Breaking the surface roughly
No one hears a sound...

When the Stream Stops Flowing
My heart beats roughly
With the stream's incessant flow-
                    Impetuous death....

Old Clothe
Customers come and go
they touch me roughly
complaining I’m old
I’m tired hanging here.
I want to be taken away

Emu
Five to six feet tall, 
roughly the same size 
as your average poet, 
but incapable of flight.

His wings but one-tenth 
of his total height;
in short, a groundling 
in a bird’s disguise....

This Is Not Your Phone, Suzy
Suzy got to study
The mystery that got her stuffy
Keep the fingers sticky
It gets strict and tricky
Hands chilled and touchy
Sometimes she has to chase roughly
Tummy rub and all, business time hubby...

Manly dusted with cologne, bowing with a rose;
Rolling up those silken sleeves, he is so vintage;
His smile becomes a backflip, a ‘Wow’ in shocked eyes;
Showstopper noticing me, rouge so roughly raised....

Self Portrait
A stone; a grey stone,
Cut roughly square
Neither rough nor smooth
Chunky but nothing sharp
Damp
Cold
Covered in a thin film of chalky brown clay
Turning 
Floating 
Alone in a dark space.

Milking the Cow

When milking the cow,
here's a bit of advice to heed:
Don't handle her udders too roughly
Or you just might get a kick,
you ain't never gonna forget
Milk the cow right,
then drink of the 
white liquid substance of life...

Oh Ode, my Ode, I adore you
Splendid your structure, tight your form
You glow in your flow until people forget
your power.  Shine on, gentle Ode
your prosperity's still roughly teething
on you beauty your sultriness
your wisdom subtlety beaming....

Tender, Bruised and Scarred.
Grief that constricts my heart,
Cages its screaming walls,
Grinding its bars roughly into its flesh…
Where they meet, blood oozes, 
Life does what it chooses,
Heart shies away from the pain of its mesh.

Trinity
Trinity is our niece she is roughly 19 months-so cute and precious!

True heart, temper
Real blonde curls, rare beauty
Infinite spirit, gift of God
New life, renewed
Is a joy to our family
Tiny little hands, hold big dreams
Youth is on your side...

Hat To Head
In pain hat said to head;
“You are so big and hairy
My ribs are stretched
the belly is always bruised.
whenever you put me on,
you push me so roughly.
Yet you bore me up here.
Let me try the  foot down
May be there is peace, love
I want to play and be free.”...

The Blank Page of Life
Life is like
a blank page 
roughly wrinkled 
in withering white.
Begrudgingly 
bearing it’s 
abandoned
brand of 
belittlement .
Which only can
be broken 
by the olden
unspoken truths 
lying in between 
the written words 
of humanity’s 
harrowing hand ....

Piano Player
Play me softly,
I am the music of your soul,
a voice that moves you,
notes of inspiration
on an island of tranquility.

Play me roughly,
loud with passion,
a voice that must be heard
yearning for freedom,
escaping through your hands,
removing all of my fears......
