The stranger of the nightI always wonder, when a car drives past,
Where they are going, how long the journey will last.
Or who they are, the life they have had,
What memories they’ve had, both happy and sad.
I walk the main...

Crickets ComplyLuna rises high
into an ebony sky,
when bats begin to fly.
Silence seeks sounds to amplify;
and as crickets comply,
Luna rises high.
Flashing fireflies nearby
start broadcasting lights that mystify,
into an ebony sky.
Warranting a sigh
wolves howl and cry;
when bats...

Grandma's Magical QuiltA silhouette
Backlit by glowing silver-gray
Lanky shadow
Lurking in my bedroom doorway
Arms stretch down, impossibly long
Deformed joints, disturbingly wrong
Pretending sleep
Muscles strain, be utterly still
Begin to shake
Body trembles against my will
I dream, irrationally hope
I scream, intentionally? Nope.
Shadow...

The Machine
Beyond a big, yellow
‘DETOUR’ sign,
an enormous machine
with flashing amber lights
and frightening teeth
is grinding asphalt down,
moving slowly along the street
leaving a grooved wake
as it scrapes and gouges
its way through a long...

Stars in the Night SkyAs the sunlight fades to black
And the air begins to chill ever so slightly
I’m laying in the soft grass
Staring at the millions of stars
And I’m thinking
How it seems so unfair
That so many struggle...

in recall of antique gold
huge yellow daisy
pleasures we once knew
when dusk daisy glowed redly

golden onyx dark

new moonPeople came and went all night, welcomed by the warm evening, the 12-piece jazz band, rich restaurant aromas and the boundless night sky. I hear their enthusiasm as they’re escorted to their tables. These Geneva...

SleeplessI lay awake once again
Unable to clear my head.
I wish this storm of thoughts would cease,
And allow me to go to bed.
I dream about the future.
I reminisce about the past.
I think about things I could...

To comfort me while I am also cloaking my movements
As I am dancing, listening to my headphones as I crank it....

Ich mich erinnernDa war etwas welches ich geschrieben wollen würde,
es war aber nicht mehr ganz in mein Gehirne,
Lass mich nochmal nachdenken,
Über das Gedankgeschenke'

Ich schaue auf den Mann der mag mir übel sein,
Er hatte aber...

of gravely stone and street in tone of light diffused by wane of moon
a toothless gum with tutting tongue clicks her...

and night draws it's shade,
sleep shall conclude your day.
You cross the threshold from reality,
and enter the world of dreams.
Cascading vistas of remembrances,
a theater of infinite possibilities
not bound by expectations,
sans influence or sway.

I Woke Up On A Tropical Island
A vacation was needed,
off on a cruise we were treated.
Great cabin, food, parties and shows,
now in a chair with a book about a rose.
The seas got really rough,
off the desk went our stuff.
Into the cold...
