in twilight’s sky
sun touches sea of blue-green . . .
tangerine kisses

The Last Lantern

lantern quivers dusk,
shadows twist like whispered secrets--
fireflies thread the sky.

Twilight

The corn has ripened.
With it is the wizened laughter of a
Mirthless age, showing ashy teeth
Of dappled cowries.
A flavescence so bantered by the courage
Of wilting bloom!

Sadly, sea waves truss the feet of
Burning skies, loosening the tongues of beaches,
Which, with ague, recline on cold, cringing currents.

Old cats mourn the fall of strafed pillars
Burrowing through silt-buried kennels re-grassed

After Twilight Spoke

The clouds once soothed my skin.
I breathed the wind rising high.
Shadows lingered deep within.
They vanish as light draws nigh.
Velvet silence softly spread.
Light came near with gentle steps.
Truth arrived in twilight’s cape.

Jukebox Requiem

ANGIE, that last slow dance in smoky haze—
you slipped UNDER MY THUMB like twilight’s ache.
The Rolling Stones crooned fate through tangled days;
I tried to PAINT IT BLACK for mercy’s sake.

But YOU CAN’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT—truth stings—
just loaded TUMBLIN DICE in neon towns,
chasing HONKY TONK WOMEN on borrowed wings
while WILD HORSES dragged dreams to

LOCUST'S LULLABY

LOCUST'S LULLABY
just something light I wrote last night while sitting on our back porch.  The sound of the locusts in the background was soothing....

twilight hush descends
soothing serenade begins
locust's lullaby

their tiny wings beat
rhythmic symphony quite sweet
one played just for you

Loneliness

Looking over my northern shoulder
at the changing shades of day
a weak winter sun turning twilight grey
teardrops of rain on the window
the gentle sigh of the wind
storm clouds in the evening sky
bring it all back again
poring over unwritten letters
in the solitude of night
a dim lit candle shining star white light
telephone silent unanswered
candlelight quietly dimmed
unwritten letters to

Under the somber cloak of twilight, where shadows whisper secrets of the unknown

Under the somber cloak of twilight, where shadows whisper secrets of the unknown,
I wander through the corridors of thoughts, my mind a vast ocean, uncharted by memories and dreams,
Reflecting on the enigmatic dance between body and nature,
Where mysteries lie hidden in our veins and blood, in the pulse of our being.
I ponder going to the

Retribution

Twilight was the time of day
as well they do concur
about the hour of crepuscular dusk
or evening if you prefer
there in the gloaming
altho' the light was slightly dimmer
I took a look at the situation
and saw more than quite a glimmer
of absolute absurdity the altercation confrontation
as if every nation were to follow the Law
of Exact Retaliation an

Twilight

In twilights breath
I find warmth
I live
In twilights breath
I long
I burn

Autumn Twilight

As I look out upon the heavens, 
a great sight meets my eyes, 
as I look upon the sky.

Twilight has come. 
Oh! Wonderful twilight 
stretching across the sky!

The song of an unspoken beauty, 
the dance of a graceful painting, 
the colors of a gentle wave.

Pink, tinged across the blue, 
bands of color floating lazily about,

The Man In The Moon

Dancing in my room as the daylight fades
my silhouette turns pirouettes on the window shade
how much love does it take to break the spell
and shake this gloom I know too well
rainy days I've had my share
the outlook it's not always fair
searching for a way reaching out for you
'til you return and make the sun shine

The Twilight of Fantasy

I was walking down a lonely street, 
wondering where everyone had gone.
It was still daylight, 
My footsteps echoed as I journeyed along the empty road.

As I walked, the road stretched further ahead, 
and suddenly trees began to grow on either side.
 I looked around in amazement 
and noticed a stream flowing ahead of me.
