I wandered from mirror after mirror
finding no home in any of them,
for my reflection can only have a being
in these eyes of yours.

Governor Arnold Shwarznager
Pumped the iron and starred in Terminator
Lived the high life and married a queen
Shame on you now sad and mean!

Had Cut Up My Card
memory was marred
and my eyes were even starred
cut up my each card

An actor who’s called Tu Hung Lo
Starred naked in a seedy show
At his standing ovation
Couldn’t hide his elation -
Came back on stage in dickie bow!

black leather jacket
ultimate bad boy of the fifties
James Dean
cultural icon
Rebel without a cause
dead at twenty-four
starred in only three movies
recognizable yet today

Be on guard, as you watch
The skies, dark skies.
Weirder that, bulbous owled
For haunts of eyes.
These, in place of what swirl
Innocent starred
May, down at you burst, burn.
Heaven-disbarred.

weathering Wales in bleak winter is hard
though starred sheep remain sleek
taverns roaring fires a feat
making Celtic maidens sweet

ntoward are the ill-starred,
unto death is the road.
Unto all is charity.
Unto life is wine.
The merry sing unto sleep
then unto dreamlands
they must go, I and you,
each of us the king of Xanadu.

Yours, the pale-shelled cameo, dear
Moon-skied, Night-worn.
Hung from its pure starred necklace.
Pearls of the high-born!
Of you what's mythic featured
Afar, as dream-lit
Alike within clasping's reach.
Alike to claim it.

What's heard for a word's echo
And soundless, thought-vibrate
Way up into this starred night
Will they now dissipate?
If its true all that's done here
Transforms the universe
For good or ill retract, I
All such; adverse, perverse!

Cross starred-
sitting right across,
pure decadence of silence.
Passion flared-
Love aired-
What joy in thee.
Soft movement,
creaking floor,
random burst-
D---
Oh why?
Silence abound-
Love aired.
Smiles all around.

When I was young, he'd always win
That man in black called Palidin
A hired gun and yet he starred
And always left a business card
That cragy face, that voice of gravel
That was his show, Have Gun Will Travel

Dawn's rays break starred skies
I wake to find the bed cold
You've already gone.
I still feel your lips
Pressed hot against my shoulder
Stunned there is no mark.
Tangled hair is combed
Each knot a mark of shared lust
Gently tease them out.

ALL BLACK IN THE CLOUD,
I GLIMPSE CURVED ARCS IN THE SHADE.
HUSH! THE BIRD HAS GONE
ALL STARRED IN THE SKY,
I GLIMPSE SNOW STREAMS IN THE WOODS.
SWISH! THE CLOUD HAS GONE
ALL PURE IN THE SKY,
I SEE BURST LEAVES IN THE DUSK.
LOOK! THE LEAF HAS BLOWN

i sat by the window
from sun up til sun down
wondering when the day
would ever come
i sat and starred
and starred some more
waiting to see my lover
my lover there he was
with the glimpse of my
eye here comes my lover
what a surprise
my lover is here
finally at last

Black
sandy
full-of-life
magnificent
beaches with laid back coconut palm trees
Welcoming both surfs and surfers back in
for a relaxed
breathtaking
sunset
view
walks
neath a
lunar rise
as a starred sky
pauses for fallen stars on a black beach.

Two to start
hidden getaway planned
hooded by woods
secretly intimate
a silent motor
black search began
waiting with accompaniment
tap - tap - tap
drowsy state triumphs
a starred awakening
sirens blaring, lights flashing
escorted and directed away
quick glance back
one hanging above

She was very young when she was shot by Robert John Bardo.
She starred in 'One Life To Live' and 'My Sister Sam' over 30 years ago.
Bardo had stalked Rebecca for three years and tragically ended her life with a gun.
Fans were forced to say goodbye to this great actress who died at the age of 21.

Til the last sword-like flicker
Keeps, as 'twere defended
As much as spellbound.
Camp fire's, not only. That starred
Above. Dread nights confound.
Or that, bare wick-held, staves off
What have, for phantom thoughts
Efformed; to assail.
This godsend. This seraph, Light.
O'er Death will prevail.

(Dedicated to James stewart who died July 2, 1997.)
You starred in It's a wonderful life and in Firecreek.
You were an awesome actor who was unique.
You starred in a great western that was made in 1950.
The movie I'm talking about is Winchester '73.
People were saddened in 1997 when you died.
People mourned your death world wide.

You floated away
like a balloon.
Froze was biting my wet hair
as I was gazing at you in the window.
The time stopped.
I starred at you while
the fog was covering
you with her arms.
Once again I am a child.
A strange feeling.
Was it supposed to be a sign ?
I would run through the sky
just to dip in your shiny blood.

(Dedicated to Ken Curtis who died April 28, 1991.)
When he starred in Gunsmoke, he truly blessed us.
I'm talking about Ken Curtis who starred as Festus.
He was dirty because he never bathed.
He irritated Doc Adams and he never shaved.
Talent was something that he never lacked.
When people watched Gunsmoke, they loved to see him act.

HER TIME
ill- dated she thought
ill-humored her birth brought
ill-omened her race
ill-starred her pace.
Through thick hide
Though beffudled
Hard-boiled she remained
Her bright future is imminent.
Ineluctable is her fate
Bridled by unknown
Blithe she ever has been
Awaiting a pleasant futurity.

(I got the idea for this poem from those commercials that were made over 20
years ago. The elderly lady who starred in these commercials died in 1987.)
I ate a hamburger at a restaurant and I asked where's the beef?
The chef got mad and he made me swallow my teeth.
That chef's patience was very thin.
I'll never ask where's the beef again.
