Eyes so dry that
Want to cry and
Cannot; trigger
Those tears by 
Any means!
Why don’t they
Flow? 

Teas belong 
Where hope
Is gone!...

darjeeling branched leaf unfurls

coaxing sweet dreams in soft swirls

himalayan breeze

fairest crafted teas

subtle sips of hidden pearls.

All natural flavorings good
Especially added to teas, food
Beaver's castor gland
Is source of such a flavoring
Used in candy unwavering
Now starved after

Culinary resonations my senses please
Blowtorch trimming the tapering of cheese 
Cremated lactations dance on the fan’s breeze
Crab forks impaling young peas 
Lightly dusting salt of the seas
Grindings of exotic teas
Marinades my taste buds tease...

TODDLER’S TEATIME

Buttered bread spread with juicy jam
Brings back memories of toddler’s teas,
Little lives so simple then,
When we were still young and fancy free.
Tried telling today’s tots;
Gave plum preserve on fresh baked bread.
Grandkids groaned. Want McDonalds Mac!...

Echoes of lives exist in a world of hope;
Giving entrance to emotions lost and bounding to strength that was gone.
Ultraviet symphony of souls.
Night carries no more fear.
Intemsly gazing through the days to come;
Wasting the threads of the undone;
Espousing only to the hearts you've won.

W henever I retire, 
O nce my lump sum comes,
R emind me of my promise to
L oad my case and not return.
D estination.....The World. 

C ruising on a slow boat.
R oaming the seven seas.
U nder balmy star fill skies,
I 'll sip herb infused teas.
S eeing all the different countries,
E nvisioned only in my dreams....

On my way to school today
A strange new thing stood in my way
It had 2 eyes; 2 ears a nose
4 legs, a tail and bulgy toes
It smelled so bad and looked so sad
And so I turned around to dad..

Can we keep him, can we please
I'll clean him and do all his teas
Ok said dad but first to school
That'll be my only rule!...

damp the cries
out of the mouth
are dragon eyes
long and ago
a roof tops glow
sent an invitation

"come to know"

teas are delicious
but to t'ease d;vine
take a seat mr.sweet
and we'll share
some wine...

I bought myself a "Tassimo"
to make special coffees at home.
Skinny latte's and chai teas
with heaps of frothy foam.

No more trips to the coffee shop
to indulge my coffee obsession.
Specialty coffees are right at hand,
its my new favourite possession.

Cafe' creme, or decaf
and latte's by the score.
So many types to chose from,
my morning coffee's never a bore....

Loose teas, bagged teas, hot.
At dinner, iced tea hits the spot.

Earl Grey, green tea, Lipton.
Honey, lemon, sugar; sip on,

Watching TV, before bedtime.
Reading leaves worth a dime?

Been drinking tea for years.
It's medicinal, or so I hear.

Healing powers, lose weight.
There isn't a tea that I hate.

Have a variety in my cabinet.
They're good for me, I bet....

Little sister's seen it all happen to you
She's been exposed and could not care less
Get in the car, open up, undress
Little sister, she's no fool
She's seen it all happen to you

Hold it in, tuck it in, behind teas and cakes
Does she really learn from your mistakes?
Will her innocent face take the blame?
She's done bad, bad things compared to you
Slicker, smarter, crazy little fool...

The poison that praises the phantoms of people 
shall also kill the kind kin off kilter.

Be obliged to bless base bums with brevity and brawls of buffoonery 
and suck the souls of the saints who sip the sweet sap of swine.

Once more I twist the tale of tempting tempestuous teas that taste of thought and torment, 
and whip the wills with woe for one and all aware for my entire enjoyment....

Metro Louisville streets, the promise of a stiff drink
A 20 sack of weed
Heavy blankets in the back when I need to dream
Hand warmers from Dollar Tree
A few one dollar can teas.
Its week three,
Flattened in the back seat
In the winter, freezing
Swiping left and right for warm sheets and a release
Tonight I wont worry about where I will sleep
I only packed enough food for a week
Eating is a treat...

Mrs. Fancy Dancy Squirrel kept her pinkie up.
Sharing crumpets and tomatoes as she would sup.
Many were jealous of her beauty, especially my pup.
Her complexion is gorgeous, like a buttercup.

Her exotic teas are delicious, wild, romantic and sweet.
Her frosted homemade nut-berry scones were tidy and neat.
Her acorn crumbled walnut pie is a rare exotic treat.
Mrs. Fancy Dancy Squirrel’s tearoom truly can’t be beat....

She went searching for peace at the grocery store.
Those shelves were all empty, her people at war.
There were loaves of loss and heartbreak over by the bread.
"We have a sale on hatred," the store manager said.
She found boxes of empathy mixed in with the teas and
told the young cashier, "I'll take two boxes please."
She went searching for peace at the grocery store.
Those shelves were all empty, her people at war....

Anyone up at three in the morning,
While most humans in our world are at rest?

Poets on their penned treadmills run,
Creating beauty, having scintillating 
aromatic coffees and teas, the best.
Utterly obsessed with creating beauty,yes!

Then with love and joy,so divine,
Open their yawning front doors at dawn,
To stand on tip toes and kiss the poet's 
very special star...the rising sun.

For every grain of sand I seem to brush away;
I discover the dust brought by the drought;
Seeks to envelop and claim me as captive.
The stale unmarked steps sprays the grains of sand from the torrid desert floor to every crevice the dust has yet to claim.
Constained and released continually by the gales of this wasteland;
A mirage of rain comes to me as I lay prostrate in the grains of sand.
The captive that I am.

Legend of a witch who lives by the sea
spending her days making potions and teas
a mermaid or witch?
believed she can switch
No one knows, townspeople see her and flee



Intrigued by this mystery by the sea 
I find her sea shanty, stop near a tree
the old lady on her dock
as I hide behind a rock
a mermaid is transformed in front of me

Come to the forest with me
To become invisible and free,
Under the canopy
Listening to catbirds happily.

Come to the forest with me
To sit with up risen weeds,
Where foxes play
Seeing skies blue or gray.

Come to the forest with me
To feel dewy grass under our feet,
In groves of ancient birches
We'd celebrate in rainbow'd mirth.

Come to the forest's leas
Where we dreamt of teas
Brewed o'er campfires flames
Hearing leaves singing our names....

Am i on my first chance 
or will i have another
too young to be old
too old to be cold
Did the evil ever finds its heart 
silence terrorises
eyes that blink
just to hide
from reality
In the land of o's and z's
Carroll's Hatter brings the teas
Pan's Freeze
How do villains get a happy ending
if they never try
Heroes spoke with words
that spake thy story true
Inevitability can 
but i am ironman
words that shame the angels
and find life without hope...

On the stove, in the laundry, office,
Living room, spare bedroom and none
Of your bee's wax. Bear's bite.
Dogs bite fingers, finger licking good!
Grandma's cooking is! Grandpa grills
A mean steak and chicken, shishkbob
I marinate. Yum! Tuna, macoroni and
Cheese, salads, teas, coffees, sweet treats,
Turkey and ham, potatoes and stuffing,
Cranberry sauce, green beans, greens,
Glazed carrots and much more! At my door
Yellow tulips and red roses await your arrival. :-)...

Blonde in the summer’s sun
Like golden dreams swaying in a sea
With each breath of wind
Dancing rhythmically

Thunder and pounding rains
Burden blades with sweet teas
That dampens the veins
And brings strength to the leaves

Glistening silver edges under the moon
Gives texture to the night
With dreamlike images
That spark blue moods to light

Ancient times bore the prairie lands
And blessed it with the Buffalo Grass
That seeds more than life
With seeds from the past...
