When I first met her
God put a speaking trumpet
straight up against my ear
and stated
very slowly
in that Godly voice
that is a mix of
the ocean's roar
and the singing of
Barry White

"This is the one
you've been looking for."

The stars were in on it
bubbling like champagne
in the night sky
singing a sweet accompaniment
a singular poem
of one word:
Yes.

What would you do?

I took the only possible path:
Surrender.

Gave up my wandering ways
quit my womanizing
got hitched straight away
tied the knot
didn't know a thing
about knot tying
but the **** thing held.

And here we are.
Poet number one
that would be her.

Poet number two-and-a-half
me

Marriage solved nothing
brought more questions
than answers
more unfinished business
than completed tasks

Yet at this late stage
a sense that against all odds
against the evidence
of my hands
against every argument
presented by the priest
who reluctantly married us

Something has gone
wonderfully right.

The stars,
dear friends,
truly know their business.
Totally out of it,
don’t even know which flip-flops I put on,
what day is it?
what time is it?

it's sunset.
And I already want to write another poem,
But I won’t write another sunset poem,
at least not yet.

There’s breakfast to fix,
there's a pool to swim,
it's magnificent,
this twisted life I'm in,

so before we break bread,
let’s pray,
“Good morning Beautiful world,
what a wonderful day to give thanks!”

Volume 1
The H Trilogy
I just published a new book.
If you could take a moment to check it out,
and even write a review it'd be most appreciated.
All profits go to a charity that prevents child abuse and ****** assault.
So not only are you getting an epic book of poetry,
but you're also supporting a good cause.
Thank you SO much!

 Jul 2016 stone the bear

*You dove into my passion's dew
oceans gyrated forcefully,
taking the breath from the shore
where pristine sands came to glisten
leaving behind sea foam footprints
on blushing dune’s desires
hidden from tide’s ebb and flow
for me to follow . . .to you
She fell for wonderland
Now that her mind's taking over
she takes a gander and wonders
if she could understand

Minimal hand holding,
she felt a sense of control
beyond her natural limits
and met her inner soul

And it was smiling back;
they had a conversation,
praising the gift and the curse
that come with ruling nations

Corrupt insinuation,
standing ovation to a leader's malfeasance
like a "crowd-pleasing" situation

It told her to breathe
She saw her love and her fire
Her wants were thrown to the flames,
and burning with desire

The air around her was pleasant,
and compared to the toxic and suffocating reality,
a refreshing present

The water's effervescence
felt like diminishing truths,
and every second was shackled
with fear of evanescence

This dream is liberating,
lucid enough to abuse it,
and yet the fear of awaking is very irritating

Is she falling in peace,
or falling to pieces?
She's now feeling the sheets,
but refusing to leave this!

"I am nothing without this,
I'm begging you to wait up!"
(You're terrified without us,
we're getting you to WAKE UP!)

"I'm with the love of my life"
(...but it's only a dream)
"Immune to cuts from my knife"
(...but it's only a dream)

"Dining with those that I've lost"
(...but it's only a dream)
"Willing to pay any cost!"
(...but it's only a dream)

"Heavenly taste of this world"
(...but it's only a dream)
"I'll buy more time with these pearls...!"
(...but it's only a dream)

"I'm satisfied with my looks!"
but it's only a dream!
You're so lonely, it seems!
THE WORST WE'VE EVER SEEN!
THE WORST WE'VE EVER SEEN!


...

If she could understand,
she'd take a gander and wonder
whether her mind should take over
and fall for wonderland,

but the love of her life
and her family members
surround her hospital bed;
they pray that she remembers...

...that people love her,
and life is gray,
but we give it color.
Expergefaciphobia is defined as the fear of waking up.
