PIPE DREAM Alone on a dark blue sea I sit in my small wooden boat ponder my being, my life, my demise my sea life friends embrace me Alone, I wonder if this emptiness is real or a dream I search for the moon’s smile to lighten my mood I fear the darkness Alone, I wonder if some soul desires me I scan the night skies white, yellow stars blink perchance some hope Alone, tears roll down my weathered face hawks and seagulls shroud me attempt to absorb their concern hear whispers nearby to alter my fire take a chance on one’s pipe dream

SHADOWS Fantasies of a mermaid on a cloistered island, candle lit she emerges from the cold abyss slithers to my naked torso electrifies me flesh to flesh musing as one An intense painting comes to a life abstractions of intimacy patterns of flirtation hues of iridescent bronze, cobalt blue washes in white Muted whispers she forsakes plunges into deep shadows

CHAINSAW Willowy forests sustain us, creates new life We breathe its colorful energy Scents of pine, damp moss Rain, wet tree stumps Flowers, needle-covered paths Winter snow saturates, whiteouts of magic We hug trees for they soothe our inner core Yet, the whine and grind of chainsaws Denudes vast swathes of broken hearts Shrivels in shreds of grief

TROUBLED MELODIES Muggy summer breeze Draws a euphony of my neighbor’s violin Into my open window Curtains dance in the humid air I listen, follow the notes Whistle along that which is familiar Birds chirp to enhance a harmony Leaves rustle to complete a symphony At once music ceases I listen to the curses, loud noises My neighbor wrestles with perfection Though I fail to understand She increases volume perhaps to improve quality Abruptly, it stops I hear a ferocious bang, ring in my rears I surmise she flat broke her violin Weeps and wails echo in the street The maestro of perfection Suffers defeat

Mourning Doves Flutter their furry acoustic wings Passionate pecks Eyes flicker, glance for prey Though calm they appear Doves soar with the wind, in a blink Swift creatures journey far Still, forever render to their nests Attend their young Cavort with sweethearts And purr to a starry slumber Together, we frolic with trills and rapture Eyes blink in unison, lashes flutter Whispers tease our flesh Calm intensifies to perfume bliss In a nest of white satin sheets We fly just in our dreams And awaken to dawn’s soothing balm
