Blustery winds sing
through the naked oaks
& an icy chill chokes me,
reminding me
winter
is not giving up,
its hold is brutal,
unforgiving
with its cold,
solemn song.

Those of glory
and those within light
Those of moonshine
and those out of sight
Those with memories
and those with none
Those who hide
and those who fear what's done

Those who cry
and those who weep
Those who break hearts
and those who sleep
Those that lie
and those of truth
Those who break
and those who soothe

Those who construct
and those who destroy
Those who are real
and those who are decoy
Those who mix
and those who curd
Those who can speak
and those who can't be heard

Amid the clatter of pots and pans, he stands washing the dishes and in the restaurant, the waitresses wait to meet princes ,wishing princesses,
he guesses it so as he watches time slow and the hands still move fast past the hour of twelve,
delving into their minds he finds candy floss dreams where apple pie queens sit at five before five and he wonders what being alive really means.
To serve or be served and what does he deserve? and he thinks at the sink but it all gets too much,
a touch on the shoulder which falls like a boulder and crushes his thoughts,as he sought so they seek and was it only last week when the school bell rang nine?
In the time that it takes it took no time at all and the fall came quite quickly,
he didn't feel the hands that cleared the pots and pans and moved him to the quiet place to lay so quietly in grace,
but quietness was in the face that faced eternity.

I am up with
the rising sun,
covered,
blanketed,
awash
in your
glistening-glow.

O what sensuous sounds we make!

O the sweet melody,
it's music to my ears!

Gliding
so smoothly
in & out,
plunging
toward
an explosive free-flow.

Hug me darling,
kiss me sweetheart,
squeeze me tightly sugar,
I am getting
closer to the brink.

I will not fight you,
you play your part so well,
you make it right!

O honey,
please understand,
these things I do
think about,
pen them
with thoughts of you,
so early
in the morning.

Yesssssss,
that's right,
just perfect,
such lovely-ecstasy
you give me!

If you only knew
& now,
I know you do
move me,
there's proof here,
lot's of it.

O dear lady,
I confess,
I'm such,
made a huge mess!

Love At First Sight

It was love at first sight,
darkness has become light.
Eyes glanced across the room,
my heart started to go boom.
Walked over and bought her a drink,
neither one of us could even blink.
We talked til the bar closed,
our feeling were evenly exposed.
We dated a week or two,
the we made love,
the whole night through.
The friction between us caused sparks,
we did it in cars, we did it in parks.
One magical night on the beach,
we were stuck together like a leech.
She moved in shortly after,
so much love, so much laughter.
Got on my knee and proposed,
she said yes, as I supposed.
After a year we got hitched,
her touch always makes me twitch.
We decided to start a family,
always exploring each others anatomy.
Finally our first child was born,
handed out cigars and tooted my horn.
We live a wonderful life,
I have the greatest wife

I know I have
my share of problems
& it doesn't get any easier
not being able
to wrap your arms around me,
to pull my fingers
through your nice hair.

You were always
a natural high for me,
rock steady,
trustworthy,
my healthy dose of lust.

I trust you are well
& will always wish you
the best
in everything that you do,
even if
or if
you never
think about me, too.

I loved you 'fore the beginning of time
mystical yearnings captivated my soul
endless longing of passion and
tenderness's absolute rapture,
intoxicated in love's sweet cherry wine  
senseless I dance in  whirling euphoria
my existence lies in the spirit of heart
let me be your moonlight eager to glimmer
the flower garden of thorn-less rose's bliss
power of wildflowers surrender to the sun,
beyond the starry night, void of space
transcending all earthly joys
an aura of splendiferous grace & adoration
fiery sacred honorings tormenting skies
hungering for your taste of passion
drunk in the inhalations of your ecstasy

As does the phoenix exalt from the embers,
agony scorches the ashen'd memories
far above it all lies deliberation's beauty
disciple'd of a higher power's calm
guardian of my life's golden moments
swept up in the tides of angel's echoes
tears stain crimson's forgiven skin
aching days linger eternally remiss,
eye's vague flashes could not comprise fatality
gracious generosity of mocking clouds fill
soaring above a blustering tempest's nest
rancid squalls uprooted a tumultuous upheaval
candlelight's flickering flame keeps me unearthed,
breathless, waiting on beauty from pain...
