Sorrowful stories
Sometimes dark and sometimes bright
Smiles and some moments with sadness...

Clipping, smoothing, pruning; silly
dilly-dallies that people do.
Gross lessons in futility 
achieved. And Oh!, tis true, tis true!...

Big Green Apple

Utterly honest and 
open big green apple addicted to 
substances used for 
smoothing, polishing, and 
cleaning.

Time is a predator
seeking to take away
our precious moments
never to be replayed.

Time is a mender
of much that is bad
smoothing over the sharp edges
making the past seem better....

I walked the beach and saw my footprints wash away with waves- 

smoothing the sand without a flaw, and I seemed blessed in holy clime 

as my soul, like trampled sand, felt healed by sea's baptizing hand.

Bending over she glides the hot iron
smoothing creases
easing folds
running
lines
pressed
over
stubborn folds
waiting their turn
to be folded neatly with two warm palms.

There is a sadness soothing to the soul,
And with its smoothing, Herakles made whole.
And deep within him, pealed a bell,
And those who hear, must harken well:
For from the void, its rhythms swell,
And all contrivance shall it quell!

my house by the sea
smells of the salty air
as waves crash on the beach
the sound of the waves
as they cover the sand
smoothing the beach once again
erasing footsteps and castles
under the moon’s soft light
and the sea’s evening flow...

Turbulent Winds Flow


cooling are the winds
ever so brews twit the skies
clouds slowing the sway

smoothing are the winds
slow moves spirit breath in skies
turbulent winds flow

Our love is like the tide.
It comes and goes in waves.
Smoothing out the footprints in the sands of yesterday.
How I wish I could hold you on the beach;
Kiss you from now until tomorrow.
Wishes.
Hopes.
Dreams.
All wash away.
Just like the tide....

Crashing crescendo creating

widening whirlpools

turbulent tides.

The endless eternal smashing smoothing

looming lava pinnacles pinned in

an everlasting embrace.

Wizened widening eyes stare

struck in awe 

at the bounteous beauty

dancing....

The flowing river, water 
smoothing over pebbles, moss, 
the gleaming reach of leaves 
fanning the stream, and 
beyond the river, beneath the 
neighboring plain, 
Meaning
echoes in the warbling cry of 
sparrows: the river is more 
than it's purpose. The river is 
Life....

Scents to bring the right attitude
Tapping into the inner fortitude
Dream lift out of the blue
Smoothing hurts wrinkles
Residue sprinkled
Pleasing every blockage  untamed
Making way for good days
Boat rides from bikes eyes
Noting the event 
From cloud nine
Lounging till the next find...

the beginning was so bright.
sun rays casting through an open window
and shedding new light.
 
we swam under the cotton sea
and you said it felt like a movie.
we were so deeply in love.
 
with the fabric of us sprawled over your knees,
with a gentle hand smoothing its seams,
everything starts to unravel....

All I need…

Is...

I’m scared. 

Because nothing works anymore!

Not even her smoothing my hair. 

As she kept vigil at my bedside. 

There was an urgency in her tears. 

As there was desperation in mine. 

As we waited. 

For sleep. 

As we hoped. 

For light to make its way into my nightmares....

I thank you for coming into my life
When bleakness had settled in.
I thank you for taking my hand when
I was low in spirit and needed a friend.

I thank you for bringing the smile
Back to my lips,
The tingle to my finger tips;
For smoothing the frown from 
My brow and most of all,
For loving me, the best way,
You knew how!...

I approach a poem 
Just like a lover
I start on one end
And work my way to the other

Until each portion
That lies in between
Has been lovingly touched
Been felt and been seen

And with each touch
Smoothing out the lines
Improving the flow
Adjusting the rhymes

Until at last I reach
The poem's other side
Then I take it for
Its first test ride...
