Cheese Wars

The Edam's sailing through the air,
and Cheddar skims my head,
I duck to miss the Danish Blue,
but Brie hits me instead.

Old Ocean

flying fish, bluish 

                           skims swift over old Ocean
 
                     faint cloud's shadow, slow motion.

Dragonfly

glass wingspan flier 
blue sky migrant skims springtide…,
they shun green meadows

Venus

Your darted arrow of Venus impales
Our demise persists through our veins
The echo in my heart is hopeless
What is love when death skims the surface?

Plied Mirror

Touch with me the new draw
and obfuscate new hope
Darkened clouds will be
your new mistress
riding high on the celestial plain
She skims her eyes on you
like a piled cumulus
waiting for the dry bones  of winter

Dreams In Plaid

He dreams in electric themes
draping around the armchairs
he wheezes  down time

Across feral fields his eyes skims
the scenery
His shadow silhouetted by the evening sun
aware of the amolaly
recalling a spectral  youth

I Climb Shelves

I climb shelves
Looking for the right pair
And squeezing two between
He closed me amid the wreckage
The moving metal skims my bones
Jumping from the scene,
My ankles break for you
My heart leaps for you
My body is crushed for you

Love Flies

she writes, deletes, writes 
he skims and scans rainbow lines 
love flies with blue plumes

Unknown Stillness 2

UNKNOWN STILLNESS 2


To know that control
Is but a sweeping touch of fear
From the monkey mind
That skims and flirts from
A thousand passing thought patterns
Masquerading as truth

Cows Can Nearly Say Moon

As i languish in your lunar lick
moonbows hovering in petrol scented skims
coping with copious crescent chapters
Fooling its full face with greying mists that etch like moving scars and wrinkles
Sat in your light, keep me watching while slowly stealing seconds

Grey Rock


"Grey Rock"

skims a frozen lake
the surface never cracks
complex post tenure stoic
disorder done delivered dead 

deliberate do not disturb
listen silence loudly shrouds
walking dead half in 
shadow world half out

Shut Down, Shut Out

He looks so forlorn
Always reading, always, now
Rarely looking up

In his night reaching
He skims over my surface
Touching what he wants

Protecting my heart
I curl up, hiding again
He begs to come in

I want the feelings
They are no where to be found
Tucked into corners

Season Flavor

Swung somewhere outside of the rhythm. Life season flavor, a joy to savor, is sublime. Produced upon the pristine sabulous shore. Simply aware of cloud skims steep and soar.

Esopus Creek - Haiku

Crystalline colors
cascade over smooth, worn rocks,
sun skims the surface.

The ancient creek flows,
dancing upon waterfalls,
as the seasons change. 

Glorious to see,
as smooth liquid jewels may run,
melting in the sun.

Eternal beauty
this peaceful running wonder,
leaving me in awe.

Lost Heart

A love adorn
Hatred skims the wall
A heart forlorn
And angels fall.

As days wear on, 
Time passes by
A love so worn
Yet unable to travel
Over torturous miles ahead.

A heart scarred by hurt,
A love torn from trust,
Two hearts once won,
Are now only a loss
As one walks on
The other walks away

The Eagle Swoops Down

An eagle soaring high, I watch him in the sky,
slowly he circles, looking for his prey,
suddenly he dives, majestic in his splendor,
just when it seems he might crash into the ground 
he skims along instead, his claws reaching down;
Up he flies,  with his prize clutched in strong claws;
Dinner for the day.

Flying Fish

life is a playful flying fish..
   a dazzling glider that skims 
        and ricochets along 
             the surface of the sea..
                   on a silvery day..


sinks down, gone for a while
    but is seen once more..
        darting out of the water..
              playing forever more..
                    on a silvery day!

Culture Shock

I saw it in a film: his city is beautiful.
Snow is everywhere, the trees are crowned
with it, and ice skims the harbor,
frosts ships, going nowhere. Even when
he held me, there was ice in his heart,

Ice in the pale blue of the washed-out
sky beyond his closed eyelids, ice
beading his vodka skin, and
"You are hot," he said,  "Hot,
hot, hot..."

Nature

Sweet flux of rippling stream’s dulcet strain 
stunning mythic creeks dream haze
stone amulets graze mohs
scale of gold rush hardness
svelte limb pink bouquet clouds 
span azure blue awning’so heavenly cascade 
sedge-warbler skims grass shoots
springtime speeds snowdrop surge

Do Miracles Occur

He stood on such bandy legs, shaking,
I thought he would fall. His cigarette
Puffing like the grey white clouds above.

A lone heron flies high and jagged
Like the tips of the mountains
That brush this clouded sky, and surround the sea

Where our ship skims the shore with its
Light, a star rising from the blue black depths:
Can we wait until the sun sets?

Aleppo: Toxic State

When finally he falls asleep			
He skims along from dream to dream		
Across his face a smile then creeps		
He finds himself beside a stream		
Where flowers bloom and sparrows cheep	
Caressed by warm comforting beams		
He feels serene in slumber deep		
Then all at once wakes with a scream		
As bombs explode and children weep
Aborted peace ... a shattered dream.

Scarecrow On the Edge of the Ridge

The land skims along the edge of the ridge And the trees themselves look quite creepy Limbs sprout outwards making like a bridge The land skims along the edge of the ridge There’s a scarecrow that sure holds a grudge Powers of the scarecrow makes one drowsy The land skims along the edge of the ridge And the trees themselves look quite creepy

Polka Dots

Sue's polka dots dress is so spotty So tiny, it just skims her botty Long legs, what a pair Made all the men stare They ogle and call her a hotty Her outfit one day got soaked wet It shriveled Sue was quite upset Now exposing her tush All the blokes turned to mush Her peepshow pleased them you can bet!

Moon

Late night
This old moon
Shines bright
In dark noon


Here I
Dream of ease
Gaze high
To feel peace


Cold breeze 
Skims my face
Moist squeeze
In brief trace


Odd thoughts
Come to mind
Odd lots
In new finds


Night stars
Twinkle bright
On par
Stretch mood right


Old moon
Hints of feel
Night boon
Watch time heal
