bumpy roads smooths out
when exits are entrances
to new works of art.......

Ruby red wine drops
Innocently kiss linen
Liquid burgundy
Smooths and softens the fabric
Folded in her warm embrace...

MADD mothers were doing just fine
Until Jesus made water wine
After a wedding
Wine smooths the bedding
Whilst organs arouse the divine...

ethereal lovely touches like
etheric ocean waves smooths
excellent whisper of love
cool breeze of romantic fall night
come and go on right time
coalesce the two souls...

The Wizard of Our-Land reigns supreme
  cloaked in the garments of fear's dreams
He waves his wands, flexes his muscles
  smooths over all problems, as dark winds rustle...

Hard-working, calloused hands 
firmly imprint ridges upon my back.
Your sandpaper face, like a fine file, 
smooths against my neck gently.
Like your rugged bristle terrain, 
my arm hairs stand erect.

Your love always forgives and is so kind,
It gives me great peace of mind.
Your love requests and it shares,
It smooths the deepest cares.
Your love is not surface bent,
It's strength and it endures, It is heaven sent....

Tongue Twisters #2:
ACTION 2


Sight follows light
Right moves shape flight


Will how you feel
Thrill each fine deal


Mind knows great finds
Kind touch smooths grind

Bold-lit lamp, rained on, snowed on
Undaunted; undismayed.
Even of tree's fleshy torn strips
What is splattered for leaf.

Constant standing in one place
With this one fixed purpose;
Courage, nights! Which clear heart-way
Steadies as smooths beneath....

Parlayed about a twist of fate
His shredded character remains
All sought to burn and swiftly end
Yet he persists from autoclave

Turning down a meaningless debate
Sarcastic tongue with wily pen
Smooths the path, a wake revered
So few achieve his place of Zen...

Judgment before mercy stoops
as tears flow mingled with praise.
The face once creased smooths with love;
rumbling thunder drops down rain
soothes patched earth etched by folly.
Cry, praise when the heart aches, dry;
crawl and groan and moan, not let,
only mercy pleads for grace.

THE SEER

Owl-eyed,
golden-haired,
Guinevere,
Gazing at her,
limpid pool,
silver,
The ripples
thoughts in time, 
Pervading her realm.
The seer smooths
her shining lake, 
The ripples 
of her mind
vanish.
The players 
are gone, 
we were ]
only 
thoughts 
in her time,
Our future, 
Our past, 
Time 
Out of mind....

let’s go back a 
hundred-thousand years

to these ragged edges
torn rains
raw greens
biting seas

to the first sunrise,
now understood.
tears of calm joy – 

a return.

we find ourselves
in this,
a kinship;
our brother is
our keeper,
and we
its’ guardian,
walk the edges
and the smooths;
our planet,
Earth’s children...

the water smooths herself out,
admiring the celebration of hope
the oaks admire the decorated pine

humans have adorned her
and set her adrift in a native canoe
she parades her truth, showing love

this happens every year the oaks whisper
the forest quiets herself feeling a reverence
a soulful event that changes the ambiance of the forest...

Listen to poem:

Your hairy brown exterior
Belies the sweet interior

A gift to humans culinary
Or cocktail quite extraordinary

Your oil it smooths, caresses
A babies bum it blesses

Your cream is heaven slurry
As I add it to my curry

In short you're what we all need
Though your stature for a plant seed

Might be intimidating
I'll still give you 'A' star rating

We are all surfing the wave of time.
In times immediate wake is the frothiness of near history.
Smooths out as the wave moves on.
The wave churns and gurgles as the past is being created.
We the flotsam and jetsam along for the ride.
The wave creates the lives we have lead.
Potential is all that’s in the waves headlights.
Nothing at all the wave moves into.
We all live on the edge of reality and time....

My Frenemy

My Frenemy sits beside me, cool and quiet
Even as I write this.

My Frenemy smooths my thoughts and whispers new ideas into my head
But... also robs me of recent memories,
Not to mention my general dignity.

My Frenemy is neither good nor evil,
Nor friend nor foe,
Depending upon his use,
As  I suppose is true of all of us.

So we shall continue our dance for now,
Taking and giving,
Dying and living....

The moon is at his window
It bathes him with its light
It smooths his features wan
With fingertips of white

Steal slowly moonbeam rising
Across the bedroom floor
Illuminate his breathing
Enchant his sleeping door

Take time for observation
He slumbers, still, as stars
That twinkle in the heavens – 
Like you his dreams are far

Beyond the near horizon
Beyond infinity
Too far for us to reach him
Ourselves with him to be –...

Actively listening with his eyes sealed shut.

The slow, peaceful river smooths over his woes...

bestowing him a much-needed piece of mind;

                                                            by the river bank.

(for all poets who cannot stop revising)

I am not finished
I am never finished
In the poet’s head
I am kneaded indefinitely

I am not finished
often typed
put in writing
spread imaginary
I am always one step
ahead of the poet

I am never finished
forever young
because the poet
smooths my wrinkles
forever and ever

But am I finished
when the poet is finished?
Or do I get a legal guardian 
and an unwrinkled future?...

The Day I Found You

The day I found you is the day my life became real, you complete me, where our hearts empaled it's every midnights vale of glow, that shines your soul, leading to mine,
Your exquisite eye, gleams in twinkled star, that fills the sky, as you look at me, with a ginle, smile amongst your face, that lights the world, and our kisses now so warm, touching lips, smooths my pride, to hyperventilate, deeply in love, for you I am, forever ADDICTED.......

a pigeon in the rain
upon a windy wet ledge 
cooing, he smooths his feathers
and tucks his head for a rest
with not a care for wind or rain-  
oh, I wish for that kind of tranquility . . .
