When the rising winter sun
Whispers a blush of peachy pink
On the evening’s steel blue clouds,
I know that I am home and safe,
In my small but ever busy world.

Another morning walk, awed by the Nevada sunrise.
Don't believe they've met
This family matinee
The kids come with guns
But it's the roll-on wife who's loaded
Beneath the rhythm and sound
There's a sign saying 'POLICE – INCIDENT'
Love may have the right to remain silent
Yet when it ends, it ends badly
Love motionless
At the bottom of
A backyard swimming pool
Now quietly referred to
As the crime scene
Sadly, this is becoming more and more common.
Tide arrives

Take a breath,
Deep

Engulfed within the Ocean,
Unconsciousness

Let it
I only saw the crack
after you opened up
I shouldn't have presented
a bandaid
because apparently
I wasn't good enough.
With just
Two words to use
To say the things I must
I find my dictionary closed.
I’m lost.

A ghost
In search of words
That hide from Poet’s pens
And make contact impossible
For friends.

HAPPY NEW YEAR !   AND MAY THE WORDS NEVER STOP COMING
