1
To suspend
A summer day in glass.
Complaisant green,
This blade of grass.

2
To give away
Grief, unfeel a caress,
Nourish a hunger
For emptiness.

3
To insinuate
to love’s unanswered skin
syllables of desire
pricking in.

4
To build
a terrace of form,
inside the weather of confusion,
a private storm.

5
To wander
through rooms of the mind
searching for enchanted objects.
What do I have to find?

6
To mark
against the slippage
of another year
that we are here.

Dear good friend,
Perhaps acquaintance.
To the masses we pass on a daily basis,
The worn out souls and weary faces
Painted in towers of glass.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Distinguished guests.
To those indisposed
By inexorable quests.
To the ones that were left
To search for what was right
Till there was nothing left
But memories of light

Blindfolds applied at night.

To the torn shoes,
Blistered feet.
The poverty we choose to greet.
It is pain, vain,
Somewhat plain to mention
That conversation's become outdated.
Sedated, restrained and correlated
To the denizens of a distant past.

We pass the world in silence.
Ignoring blatant acts of violence

Then claim that it is art.

Where have you gone MOTHER of mine?
Have you traveled to the hills of the universe,
where eternal light burns to lead your way?

Have you etched and completed
your life’s masterpiece
inside footsteps of a long life
to now fly off to other realms.

Where have you gone
the MOTHER who nurtured me when young
and taught me to see who I am.

Have you satisfied your souls journey to now be reunited with father to
shoot the breeze and celebrate a fine life.

I look for thee and find you
in my heart moving with Gods Grace

I feel thee in the wind
when I’m lonely and need a hug.

I sense thee when I breath deep
to hear your spirit words
as I whisper gratitude.

I know MOTHER dearest
you now live in vortex of eternal life
where someday we shall meet again.
I lost my mother Yesterday. She died at 93

The first time that I fell in love
The sky was crisp and blue.
Such a cloudless day it was
When I first got to know you.

I fell in love further when
The moon lit up the skies.
I knew you were the one for me
When I looked into your eyes.

And when I fell in love for sure
The sky - to me -
Was you
You were the endless blue of sky,
Of sea, and of earth too.

Then when you went away you took
My sun, my stars, my guiding light;
You left me in the dark, alone:
In the eternal night.
Never allow circumstances to cause You to want to give up.
Never allow any People nor situations to cause you to give up.
Never allow the loss of anything material here on the Earth.
To cause You to want to give up, on Your Life here its too valuable.
For Your Life is the most Valuable thing that You each have here.
It can Lead You to the Heavens themselves, if You use it wisely.
But bin order to reach that Goal, You need to reach the finish Line.
After using Your Life here to help others, to encourage them as well.
For Your Life to help out others whom are hurting at this very moment.

Oh my petite,
You're a five-course dinner with the works
and a lovesick tantrum.
Your affection
like a hummingbird,
with how it pecks and pecks and
pecks.
Lips faster than one-sixtieth of a second
when you say
You don't love me anymore

But darling, I've got a
letterbox heart
Iron locks and
Silver casts
Filled with postcards
to no address.
Open me up and find
your name scrawled inside
over and
over
and
over.
(Oh Love, I still do.)
