Blood, gore and sinew,
dripping from my fingertips-
Bits of midnight feast...

Boat yard lights disguise,
Twisting sinews of the tide.
Surging waters rush.
Moon-pulled flow, fierce undertow,
Stole my love to depths below....

After

as blanched I lay 
chambers emptied,
pump drained
sinew reduced to
flaccid residue,

am I soul?

Razor blade tongue 
Slice apart my soul
Lick away the poison 
My sins - vindictive and sweet
Broken glass between your hands 
Sinew and torn flesh - Red...

Antibiotics - soothing,relieving,numb and feeble within excruciation....

It is love, love

The heart, the soul, the flesh

I am nothing but that light

Blushing cherub-pink against violet

That lush hue, that reflects my red sinew

Pouring soft blues over me like a baptism...

There's 
not much meat 
upon his bones,
sinew, muscle
with some tone,
lean and mean, 
as they used to say,
she liked it that way
when they were alone,
her soft hands 
feeling, healing
what was left, 
upon his bones...

Fabric Wool

I no longer cry “BAA.”
Now I’ve been sheared and shorn,
knitted in fashion to be worn.

Strength and sinew, have I 
daring back winter’s chill.
A moth is my enemy still.

I’ll slice the breath you take
Bones, muscles, and sinew taste
I’ll spoon the red gravy you make
And don’t you dare insinuate
I’ll bite the plastic fork to break
Off the boneless meal I ate
I’ll spear the smile you fake
We’ll split half the sin you hate...

See how the lowly myrtle
seduces the lordly pine. 
She entwines her arms 
around him,  he 
submits.  Beneath them
falls their issue: not 
flesh, nor sinew, nor bone, 
Only, sweet symmetrical 
cone, its perfect whorls 
and burls, the best 
of both worlds.

The simple on the page
What comes next
What to reflect
What to interject
Haunted by the space
Looking to touch grace
Letters crawl across the thin sinew
Filling the pauses
with particles of self
Each word stealing
from the
What comes next
be back in a couple of secs...

A red-rimmed sun of summer,
of the sweat of the workers,
the salt of their brows.
Shoulders to the grindstone,
the strength of sinew and muscle,
hours of their labors.
The Lord of their lives
and their eternity-
gives them a dreamer's  sojourn
in the welcomed moonrise. ~...

Silver
     plated
sinew,
assaulting the sky,

         !!!!!!!   Sailfish  !!!!!!
           errupting
    in spray
arching high,

    Blue White
        and 
Bright
in the Florida sun,

          A fisherman's
dream,
      caught in photos
for 
       !!!!! fun!!!!!!...

Awareness drifts in a pool of sinew, flesh, fat, muscle, cartilage, hair, nail, bone, sodden skin, fluid, bile, excrement, blood, swirling in the maelstrom; in its belly thought. 
Clarity forgotten, dissolved, flushed down the drain without Mercy. 
Bon Secours,
Bon Voyage.

Down the dreamed aisle
  comes the bliss of your sight
Cord of your life
  sinew of your might.
Abaft the unending trek
  comes the longed outset
A more colorful kismet
  under the glorified sunset.

Wishful thinking 
  ceases the awakening
With thine caring
  adoration is everlasting....

Their clueless inane fangs of reed 
Strive to bite what's made of steel; 
Deriding the stronger sinew of virtue
They cling onto feeble foibles untrue.

To headache more reasonable head
Is the very principal aim they're bred...
These pithy bothersome numbskulls 
Coined with dimmest grasp that lulls.

The child has drawn a stick-figure. 
Primitive, it lacks a pulse. A child 
sees a hero beyond nerve and sinew, 
heart red as rhubarb. In buckskin 
fringes, gazing into a pool 
just struck by lightning. 
Three more strokes of crayon
create a stallion at full gallop, 
its hooves touching nothing but air....

Demons fallow me day and night 
surrounding me their aroows seek me from their demonic bows, 
their blades are sharp and ready ,
their acidic words sear my flesh 
bear to bone and sinew

I fight tht darkness in inside 
trying to find the light; 
it is only in my dreams never to be found

Embraced
Your Dream Catchers
Have been tattooed on our culture

They Grace our hides
Our windows
And our rear view mirrors

Protecting us
Shielding us
Defining us

Circles
Web woven
Sinew sewn
Brandishing
Your Eagle's feathers

Rolling along
With the nightmare
In the mirror
Fading in the distance

A sea shanty to skip to,
an Irish jig hot footing
on clogging stones
heels and knees
chasing swinging hands,
jazz jiving just for fun.
Don't do much
of any of that stuff now,
unless I sleep,
then I jump into a circle dance -
rewind, age, sinew and limb,
recall again
that there is always a Spring,
in late December....

L-earn to touch the sky, 
O-nce you reach the glory; 
L-et your goal begin
I-n the morn of May
T-hirty.

D-o learn to touch the sky, 
U-sing a lesson or two; 
L-et your wings weather the storm, 
P-utting on strength or sinew.
I-n spite of the blue, 
N-o reason to moan and cry; 
A-im to rise and soar, learn to touch the sky....

Listen to poem:

Absolute toxin; I placed within you;
Through to the bone; past the sinew;
I could not allow this to continue,
A blessing it is to discontinue,
My scent was laced heavy with chloroform;
Weather the nightmare; weathered the storm;
No longer a questioning burden in any form;
Lost was nothing; not even regret;
All of me; you should just forget...

With mid- October, summer heat has come to an interim close.
A sweet sensation creeps into every sinew as coolness pervades the air.
Autumn wind, shaking the withering leaves, whistles, and blows.
Trees once clad in green livery are stripped off and made bare.
Now, the sun’s golden beams, a pallid shade resentfully wear....
