#joyous
And the tears you cried in 2022 water the seeds of hope, love, and healing you planted for another new journey.

Dreamscape
Without you, my dreamscapes are barren and cold.
With you, they are indescribably beautiful and joyous

There’s tidiness here
And a full dream ahead
Pencil and paper set out
As soldiers wait to die
There’s sadness here
And some words of sorrow
Songs allowed to cry
Tears allowed to fall
There’s humour here
And laughter in my pen
Jokes brewing happily
Smiles served for all
There’s anger here
And a list of needs
Names and faces known
Rights to claim again
There’s true love here
And sweet ambition
Sun and eyes and skin
Ready for kissing

(sonnet)
We stalked and ran with endless time,
Knee deep in rains of muck, grew lost
In tails of the always new, overreached
By trammeled spots, dotting, red wings
From black birds, knobby toads, garter
Snakes that shocked, marigold swamp
And we bolted above ruddy moccasins,
As ever wet, holey, dying for new days,
Gleaming in the swelters of the horse-
Fly sun, in the giants' grasses, we were
Heroes by the falls of light, glow, dusky
Bold, joys travail and dewy eyes echoed
With sprite flashes by the flies that fired.
And all our conquests— writ in the wind.

I am your
Joyous memory
Touched by sadness
The reason
Behind your wry smile.

I’m not saying I wasn’t a good person, but YOU bring out the best in me.
I’m not saying I didn’t enjoy alone time, but sharing with YOU is most fulfilling.
I’m not saying I was not expressive, but YOU're the only one to know everything.
I’m not saying we never fought, but YOU're always the first to make amends.
I’m not saying our relationship was perfect, but YOU make it happier with every passing day.
So, how can you think that I don’t love you just cause I’M not saying it everyday?!

(Sonnet)
At the end of night she bathes in light,
We tussle in the warmth of morning,
The blankets and she are of sea foam
And found shells, whispering lost ocean
Words. Our bed is a raft, drifting aloft,
The coffee is brewing with mellow sun,
Her smiles, filling my silly, giddy mug.
Soon, we walk to the pebbled beach,
Her hair is waving at the friendly seas,
Gulls are circling in the moving skies
Reeling with the slow, slipping tides
And I skip stones with her as our feet
Sink in the milk of morning sands—
Must we be off to Dublin town?

potted soulmates
luminous
delicate orchids
reaching so hard
just short
space given
natures third eye
curious cat
stumbling sliding
cause and effect
intertwining
flowers
benefit
crash
they fall in
wrapping up that moment
second turns forever
beauty forever joyous
memory
knowledge
pay attention
your potted soulmate
waiting
just slide and crash
curious
cat

Humility
raining down on me
cleansing my humble soul
writing truth
speaking
painful to some
absolute freedom
soaring bird
joyous faces
perplexed
scaredy-cat
unsure
walk in that direction
liberate your mind
release vitality and vigor
protecting dreams
silly boy
or
silly girl
walk that wire
between
confidence
courage
thwarting negativity
finding your
sweet spot

looking forward
joyous tears
filling up my insides
as if the ocean abyss
isn’t full enough
over running my thoughts
rain from the darkest sky
sparking
angled light from
Enceladus
special complete reflection
brightest Luna Goddess in our solar system
reaches with ease
into the darkest part of my soul
warmth provided from a frozen rock
hurling around my celestial body
feeling you in the deepest part of my heart
touching me
magical tentacles
hiding in your puff of smoke
brilliance shining through
potent power
making flowers grow on the sea floor
coral enjoying their view
imaging swimming there
bliss on ecstasy
projection of a lucid dream
mermaids circling under the magic
universe whispering
find her
open arms waiting
like a beacon in the night

The boy at the back of the car, with red headphones on, he sat on the ocean and he couldn't see past the pain that overwhelmed him.
The boy at the back of the car, his back aches, the tears were like sleeping pills
and nearly brought him to sleep.
The boy at the back of the car, he took pictures, he couldn't find a way to stay happy at one point in time.
The boy at the back of the car, he wanted the knives and pans, but he knew better then to intercede with God's plan.
The boy at the back of the car,
he fought the fight and he is preparing to take flight.
His friend has problems with shadows and thoughts that seemed to trap her in a seemingly never-ending maze of
trouble.
The boy at the back of the car has some issues, but...
The boy at the back of the car,
....is happier now. :)

A New Year,a new beginning,
What's in store,awaiting,
365 blank pages,
To be filled with new strategies.
Forget the past,time to move on,
Throw in a handful of resolutions.
Dear God, present us with a perfect New Year's Gift,
From war we must drift,
All bad politicians You sift,
Climate changes we should heed,
Safety from nature's hazard we need.
Away with weapons of mass destruction,
Unity amongst every nation.
Herald in economic equality,
And do away with poverty.
Please remove our aches, bitterness and sorrows,
Instead,fill them with peace and joy for all tomorrows.
Make this year short and sweet,
Everyday, our needs we are able to meet.
Shower us with plentiful blessings,
So we wake up laughing.
Friends and foes,let us leave every thing behind,
Make amends with good things in mind.

joyous bliss
joyous bliss
soon they'll be wed
in joyous bliss
rings exchanged
as a sign of love
circles symbolizing
everlasting love
joyous bliss
joyous bliss
soon they'll be wed
in joyous bliss
two souls connecting
to an elated union
by a love so blessed
of communion
joyous bliss
joyous bliss
soon they'll be wed
in joyous bliss
days of happy promise
they'll behold
on their journey
paved with gold
joyous bliss
joyous bliss
soon they'll be wed
in joyous bliss

Groping out of bed,
Keep the sun at bay,
Mirror eyes look red,
Soft in morning glaze,
Shower waters said:
Thank the sun, amaze,
Splinters in my head,
Silent verse word play,
Morning ends, I'm fed
Sweet caffeine au lait,
Later beers— instead,
Wine, my guitar flays,
Splinters in me head
And all ends up paid
As time revolves dead,
Poems making grade,
Song and music bled,
That is my bed made,
Staving off the dread.

Fading in static,
I vanish from speculation entirely
I am ethereal
I slip through a closed door phantomous -- My driving need absolved
I am cured (Temporarily)
Dead in my own eyes and abandon in my mind
I pass voicelessly through the terminal - - unrecognised
I am more alive then a lifetime of living
Exuberant; I erupt with silent joy that gushes from my open chest cavity
Evacuating the pavement
-
washing away organically

Maybe dying isn't so bad
I'm already living like I'm dead
I'm perpetually sad
The black slug of depression is weighing me
down like lead
I'm not who I want to be
I feel as though I'll never get there
If I could run from my problems I'd flee
& feel my problems become as light as air
But that's not reality
And deep down that's not me
So every night to God I pray
And keep fighting knowing in my future in joy I will lay

Making love in yellow fields,
