From
wayward 
wanderings
endless circles
lost. 

To 
hopeful
words of truth
saved by His grace
found.

Cars fly by me, woosh.
crossing the street, hurry...run!
Is this the right street?
oops, wrong way, turn around... here?
Left, tall city, loud, need map....

There are strange wanderings
in the souls
of the most common of men

Where willpower and intellect
come together
—pointing the way

The skin on thighs is cracked.
And what's below, don't look, from the heat,  running and dust.
From wandering .
Once royal fabrics
Evaporated , 
Are eaten away by time in search ....

Are you able to afford
your fame
Gratuitous wanderings
chasing the flame

What you give up 
for what you get back
In debt to the moment
past—future entrapped

On a rock
high above life

smooth faced
rain drenched
and sun dried
I sit

watching clouds paint
abstract wanderings
on the sky

awaiting your shadow
to appear
next to mine


(even though I know it won't)...

Mind trap wanderings
davenport differentials
childhood solitudes
garner teen tentacles
enlivening adult adventures
can we make Peace within ourselves?
nomenclatures not included
avoid advanced actuals
advance to GO!...

Harbor

Harbor lights welcome me 
Home from my wanderings.
"Haven", I think, when I 
Hear the fog horns warn me.
High tide is perfect for
Holding the in bound line.
Hang the flag - I am home!

Furst night in Brockton
new guy in town
Again
lost in a sea
of Nauthinaz
I'll get my bearings
I'm an Ex-Sailor
used to course less
wanderings
no boundaries have i
aimless
no to john barleycorn 
born to nowhere
drawn to the sea...

robust wanderings
bring you near
walking stick and old canteen
britches, boots, all unseen
walks forever in the woods
chocolate bars
smoky fire
pull me out
a tent at night
and in the afternoon
sweet hay smell wispers
to the moon....

Go back to sleep, sweetheart. 
Get rest, roll over, close your eyes and 
Be still, my love. 
Your tossing and turning
Your restless night wanderings
They disturb my dreams. 
Don't forget we share this same bed
Though thousands of miles apart....

Inner peace








Wanderings of my soul
and dwindling ponderings,
Wither as I perish
and serene I shall keep,
Peace with my inner self !

The sparks will fly
and often mystify
when dreams
give birth
to words
unspoken

Fairy tales come alive
mixed with nations lore
and the melody
of the two worlds
blend true
 
In dreamers wanderings
one wants not
for the other
as love transends
the journals
of time...

The only one along this road… 
riding shotgun through my mind
Tomorrow waits for someone else,
lost wanderings consigned
Forgetting what the moment augurs,
living in the past
Confirming what I’m most afraid of
—behind whoever’s last

(The New Room: January, 2022)...

in flight my thoughts
dreaming, I wander to view
she, whom has captured
to see her my heart flutters
on arriving my eyes see

chatting we now walk
soon amidst our wanderings
hungered moments flow
hotel door now closed, we're close
eight thousand miles diminished...

During day, mind is clogged
By a thousand thoughts
A pot of marbles upturned
On attempting to sweep them together
They slip and slither
Running this way and that way

At night, after their vagrant wanderings
They come back to roost
......................... if not insomniac!...

nestled in my breast
under this wing
at the edge of the cliff
in the glow of the stratosphere
take my hand
take my heart
at the edge of sleep
on the hill of our wanderings
we mouth the words of lovers
eyes the size of planets turning
collecting stars the shape of hearts
we fly

Glowing love 

On breezes of nighttime surrender,
  neath snowflake flutters
Delicate wisps of fragrant sighs
  linger in sunset wanderings,
   as twilight’s solitude 
       breathes supple desires
   upon eyes opened
         to your glowing love
             on a new winter’s eve...

Someone left the water out of the dirty dishes
Someone spoken negative words sprew curses
On call missed managed desire wishes
Happenstance avalanche peace desert
Wanderings oceanography pleasant east
Where there is war, there is peace

The fall comes early to frost covered souls
bound in damp, worn wool blankets
barefoot wanderings
over cold birch branches, sticks,
crack covered ground

thorns, thistles, briars
scratch, pierce the skin
tug at the coverings
lay bare
the naked heart

to face the hollow cold
without purpose
only a ceaseless longing
alone....

The will of God, e'er take
me to my knees,
your Spirit, so astringent
cleansing, free!

Ne'er given to imply
a church of greed
attendance, and deny
as fate takes fee!

What is the Godly why
where the decree
in Gospels wrenching cry
wanderings spree!

With Hope our mind's comply
Christ's heart receive
in apathy's restraint
placebos flee!...

Basking in the beauty that is the night
Lovers embrace within dreams delight
Thoughts intertwine in each other’s arms
Succoring peacefulness, knowing no harm
A blissful respite from this earthly realm
Where worries smother and life overwhelms
Reconnecting thru wanderings in depths of slumber
For it’s here spirits thrive in time unencumbered...

As nectarine wanderings of
         plum shadow wishes collect
         neath apple cider lips now
          sticky with nectarous flowings
upon pulsating peach blossom petals
             dripping of ripened sighs…
a saturated smile appears
                as I imagine harvesting
 the fruit bearing orchards
of your desires...
