Short Sires Poems

Ocracoke
the stallion rests
cloaked by sea

old sires fade
footsteps in the sand
are now few

THE MAN


Heed this fancy refrain
The child fathers the man
We come and go again
The father's child sires grand

Kindness blends with kindness
Anger sires anger
Mindfulness lingers with reason
Affection grows in caring and charity
Laziness retards inspiration
Abstinence dissolves patriotism......

Quatrain #855:
DEAD


Dry dead wood log ready to fire,
End beyond fog where truth now sires;
Apt that last bog in humid heat,
Death the last cog that dream conspires.

All time records set
   On the track you were the best
      Secretariat.


*Dedicated to one of the fastest racehorses of all time,
and one of the most prolific sires of all time- 
Secretariat March 30, 1970 - October 4, 1989.

Changing with each season,
voices come and go 
what’s lost undreamed, ourselves demeaned,
in search of the unknown

Naked and left wanting,
fortune sires myth
impregnating its mystery
—with tales of the abyss

Flame sires fond flair
Flair climbs the stairs
Stairs in the air


Frame a good name
Name fits the game
Game just the same


Fling joy that swirls
Swirls touch and twirl
Twirl your brave world

If you must walk through the fire,
Brave the blaze where touch one sires.


Wear courage on your fine heart,
Dare to bear fire to sculpt art.


Blaze burns all gross to forge ease,
Love fires the clear light of peace.

Sense that pure urge
Set words to merge


Lines in swift rhymes
Where space meets time


Thought in clear say
Feel that sculpts way


Surge moves and sires
Moments of fire


Write that fond flood
In pulse of blood

There being
no compromise
we flow into His heart
in astonished surprise 

Within His heart
blue electricity afire
contouring a human form
wherefrom pure love sires

That that revealed
by mind misinterpreted 
yet from our heart centre
we find being-ness elated

Last light
Darkness dawns;
Cicadas call

~~~~~~~~~


Dawn sires
Day break hurls;
Begin afresh

~~~~~~~~~


Night owl
Curious wonder;
Stray wind whispers

~~~~~~~~~


Old man
Watching busy feet;
World in transit

~~~~~~~~~~


Simple silence
Full moon ascends;
Spring aura tells

The world is such a big place,
For such a little one,
Unfamiliar and unforgiving,
For a girl so naive an young.

Unfamiliarity sires awareness,
As you sojourn through the years,
That were paved with much happiness,
And gladly, only a few tears,

Many have tried to shape you,
And some you never knew,
The only person you should emulate,
Is the person you turned into....

Into thy hands, I commend my fate, not heart
Only from my heart I can preserve my pride.
Into thy hands, only fate, not all of me part
My one and only precious heart is where I ride.
Into thy hands, my commended fate flourishes, rests
But my sole heart stays, blooms in my soul that nests.
Destiny is not fate without life's purpose
Purpose grows in heart and soul, fate sires purpose....

Once upon a dream
Rainbow rays did stream


A lovely touch of light
Embrace of happy sight


A dream come true now sires
A fragrant floral fire


Here by this wooden bench
Watch tints and shades drench


Time and space reveal fest
Upon the road of quest


Good and bad now attest
What a seeker invests


Dream upon a dream taste
In touch of feisty haste

Unzip your feelings,
Watch emotive surge;
Live your well-being,
Unbind unseen urge.


Feed wholesome fancy,
Watch feelings flood fun;
Dazzle dance dreamy,
Rapture rooms rich run.


Sway flamboyant surge,
Surprise playful fire;
Unzip flooding urge,
Purge odd lust that sires.


Knowing bitter gall,
Better to be blind;
True greatness looks small,
Love rains ever kind.

Deep is the dark
Yet light your spark


Spark starts the fire
Truth that love sires


Dark is the night
Where no stars light


Seize your time here
Prize moments dear


Dare to face truth
In simple proof


Meet your own face
In sacred space


Dare to live bold
With heart of gold


Wise words now teach
Bright spark in each


Meet your own soul
In journey whole

A lonely night
Staring in the wall
Of eternity
A phone call
A glance

A second chance
Is out of sight
But not groovy
In the scenes
Of a movie

Blanked out
Black sleep
Rehearsal
For death

(a calm, breathless coffin)

a porch swings
a window blares
heat

sweat sires unreason
and a season of visions

dripping colors
Absinthe abstained

Schizophrenia unchained

(birds fly teeth grit)

a cool song plays on

revelation in a second

a dove flies echoes...

Wonder sparks well
In show-and-tell


Watch beauty speak
Sense wonder peak


Visual sights show
How beauty grows


Watch truth inspire
How wonder sires


Visual touch springs
In true being


Our moment here
Grab simple cheer


You and I see
What yet may be


Our moment tells
Just how love dwells


You and I live
What love now gives


Wonder works well
Yes we can tell

If you must write
A verse or more,
Let your heart cite
Fond feel that spores.


In the clear light
Where feelings gush,
Feel words glimpse sight
In steady rush.


Write words that tell
Of easy feel,
Sad and glad dwell
On touch that heals.


If you must know
Just what life sires,
It's love that shows
A zesty fire.


So live your quest
Through any flood,
Words heal the best
In surge of blood.

The weeping willow tree
Stands yonder sad and old,
In hundred winters he
Withstood the tempests cold.

Long since his sons and sires
Forelore the Earth profane,
Were burnt in funeral pyres,
And all his kinsmen’s train.

When wintry gales all things
Smite with their downy snows,
The Nightingale still sings,
That through the willow flows.

His sobbing I have heard
In murmuring high bough,
Whom asked the lonely bird,
Wherefore weepest thou?
