Tom D 17h
The bush burns brightly
in the freshly laid snow
When the light of the sun
sets it aglow
Like a apple of gold
in a silver picture
The scene
It breathes
the proverbial scripture
Tom D 1d
To be yourself
or not to be yourself
That is the question
Tom D 2d
The face that lives
inside the ink blot
is content today
not to stir the ***
To disturb the peace
is to break the lease
with the only friend
the man has got

Tom D 3d
If he has the blues
for more than a day
He bellies up to the bar
to chase them away
Soaks up the *****
Goes home to snooze
And when he wakes
there’s hell to pay
Tom D Jan 11
The stains from my coffee
dropped onto the paper
Then, randomly folded
into deliberate pleats
Revealed to me
the nature of it’s purpose
The place where the clouds
of imagination can meet
Tom D Jan 10
When there’s light
at the end of a tunnel
and the tour
of it’s darkness is done
May we never make
the careless mistake
of missing our time in the sun
Tom D Jan 5
The burden of rapture
all swollen in sadness
is love that’s a fever
that descends into madness
Yet, this perfect poison
is gladly taken
like a classic martini
Stirred but not shaken
