Looking into her dark brown eyes,
Reflecting sunlight from the sky.
Glowing skin under shining orb.

To have her gaze upon me with her eyes,
So bright in this day's shining light.
As she steps close, her skin so soft.

I melt from her gaze,
As she takes my hand,
And we stroll along the boulevard.

{arctic spring arrives
like cubes of ice floating by
seals jumping on chucks
of ice floating by to get
rest from the polar bear chase}

loud clanging Barbells
muscles flex to maintain strength
pain, I need a nap

" Happy Birthday "


born on July fourth
always a firecracker her
yep that was my mom

Saying I love your touch

Showing I love your eyes.

Still I love your lips.

Silky I love your skin.

Stating you're my everything.

Showering you with  thank yous.

Standing up to say I love you.

Moments can be gone forever.
Never let that moment pass.
You'll bring happiness,
You'll bring joy.

A moment in time can change a life,
So never let that Fleeting Moment Pass.

The elusive golden orb arises again,
In the land of clouds and rain.
The peasants gather to find water
And shelter from the evil demon light in the sky.

It's burned their crops,
And dried their land
Searching for relief and water wherever they can.
Starving and dying on a desolate earth.

Time to wave the flag
Giving thanks for our freedom
Lighting up the fourth.

Bicycling in the early morn,
Brings a smile to my face,
And happiness to my being.

My place of meditation,
A long and lonely road.
A place of solitude and peace.

Eyes open to the light of day.
Birds dancing on wings in the air,
Squirrels running and collecting their fare

Reflection on life as I roll down the road makes for a beautiful day!

golden orb rises
heat blazing down scorching earth
mother is thirsty

do you hear buzzing
nano technology's new
how are you feeling

solstice sun burns hot
scorching earth dawn to dusk
moisture ****** from earth

We hold them close,
As we give them life.
With the first breath of air,
And the scream of pain.

Then they grow up,
And oh so proud.
Looking to see how high
They can reach in the sky.

Along the way they find their path,
But you seem to be left behind.
Looking to see how far they reached,
As they waved goodbye.

Feeling the wind on my face
Walking in the morning sun
Greeting the neighbors,
With a hardy wave and have a good day..

Spring flowers are blooming
As the new buds appear on the trees.
Birds dancing about between branches
And squirrels run up the trunk to hide among the leaves.

Grass grows green on this spring day.
As the rainbow colored flowers make an array.
With bees gathering nectar to feed the queen
Oh what a day and a beautiful scene.

As I inhale the vapors.
My mind becomes clear.
Well that may be the perception,
That I feel here.

With the noise subsiding,
Seems to slow down my ride.
I have more time to devote to myself.
Without the distractions attacking all the time.

Me: 3 Demons: 0

Watched the news today
News this day death lead story
Tears and prayers all souls

petals of red Rose
dripping early morning dew
opening at dawn

night Sky darkening
thunder, rain and Lightening Strike
tree split then flames high

Beams of bright starlight
Lighting the night with the moon
Earth bask eerie glow

Say good luck my love
Because you came to my life
Just sweet talk she said

I say, c'est la vie
But I don't know the French well
Yes, It is the life

What brings happy heart
Long lost voices of a child
Speaking from the dark

standing at surf's edge
waves crash rock walls then retreat
water's wash over me

glimmering water
creeping up a sandy beach
toes covered wet sand

digging in the earth
sandcastle by the sea shore
laughter and joy reign.

As the weeks have passed and the days grew short
I spent time thinking of father's day
My father, the relationship.

So, who am I to judge

I have never judged harshly, my father;
As I have grown old and been in that position,
It may be that I have failed too.

So, who am I to judge

There was never a manual
Our brains were not wired the same
The input as we grow and learn can be good and bad

So, who am I to judge

So as this day passes with no words
To come to me
from anyone in my past

So, who am I to judge

The day's not done
Hope reigns supreme
I am at peace with life

So, who am I to judge

Can you dry away the tears.
They are not planned,
But just appear.

A thought of the past,
Memory so vivid,
Suddenly emotions come forth.

Standing on a street corner,
Taking in the sites;
A shadow seems to cross your path.

Orifice sensations light you up.
Memories again renew your past.
You search around with your eyes.

Hoping to match senses again,
With memory of the past.
To feel that rush you had that did not last.

As you look left,
And then to the right, up ahead.
There's nothing in-sight.

But the memory is there though lost.
And will lay in wait in the dark.
So your heart can race again.

When again the shadow passes.

Mind traveling low in the weeds,
Watching out for low flying objects.
As I may perceive
Do not run with sharp objects during this phase they say.

Danger can be lurking as the mind is on a different wave.
I do try to remember.
But sometimes the action is faster from one side
Than the other of my brain

Then the place where your body seems to be.
How did I arrive at this state or is it state of mind,
An illusion or reality.

Standing to the side looking in on this view,
Of a life which while appearing surreal;
I feel it is quite real and nice.
So I think I will keep it for the rest of my life.

******* no
But too late as tip enters




Blood drawn slowly now

Her skin soft as silk
Fingers gently touching her
Drifting off to sleep

Walking hand in hand along the beach
Water crashing down on sand covered shore

Foam forming on salt water peaks
As the sun gleams on swelling waves

But the beauty I see as I stroll along
Is the wisp of hair blown about

Around the face of my true love
As we play and stroll

Along the beach hand in hand

See dem pants hangin down
Be look'in the part of the gangsta in town
Don't be doin no crime
Or you'll end up doin time
Cause you can't run in dem pants

Heart to wear on chain
With just these words from Daddy
Love you forever

Born early and small
Laying in my hand so frail
Grown woman, now proud

Learning about life in school
To educate and help us find our way

After many years in class
Educated with knowledge and rules

Yet with all the knowledge and education
They failed me as they failed you

All the time and years spent learning
And still no one is teaching about love

What happened to the book of Love??

Orange hued night sky
Light of night approaches now
Moon rising to view

To rise early and be bundled up
Still not really awake
As the car moves down the highway
The sun just rising over the eastern horizon

We have been on the road for two days
My father driving at a high rate of speed
Another adventure of travel
From where we are to where we've been

After a hour and miles behind
Breakfast to fuel the daily run
Towards the past and family pact
Annually we meet like a clan

As we arrive at the park
It's hugs all around
As brothers and sisters
Aunts and uncles

Gathering to see the family of their past
BBQ and potato salad
With bags full of chips
And soda for the kids and beer for adults

Kids running about playing games of tag
Throwing a Frisbee sometimes with dad
Lawn darts and softball
There were games to be had

The day comes to an end
And smiles all around from a great time
Then soon again we are back on the road
And the adventure begins anew

From where we had been
To where we are now
As the park fades away
And we have miles to go

Tears from my mother
As she relates her fears
Of how soon she will see
Her family and parents again

I sit there in silent sadness
As I see her face drawn
As the tears run down her cheeks
And so began my life as mama's boy

True love will win out
No stopping your hearts cravings
Love, powerful drug

He was honest and loyal throughout his life
To family and friends plus stranger to boot

Grew up poor and so valued his life
Moving on to find his place in the world

From small town boy, to big city guy
He always kept his eye on the prize

He worked in the fields, then flipped burgers to learn
Before moving on to more adventures in life

He did love to gamble and did it for life
But everyone has to have some adventure rather than strife

Friends of my mother introduced them for dinner
And a romance was to be had far beyond the night

Marriage came next as he made her his wife
And they started an adventure as they planned their life

From state to state they chased the work
Farm work to pipe-fitter

On to a factory and then to a mill
Then back to a mill and a place of his own

He worked in a store and made many friends
And then moved the adventure ahead

With a cafe to run
And family to share

He had simple taste
And dressed with style

And when he did pass
I sent him in style and little of his life

A fedora for style so he'd be dressed for a date
A watch on his wrist since he never would be late

With a final good bye and a touch of his face
I slipped a snickers into the place

Cause if there's one thing he'd miss, It was the sweet tooth he'd had since he was a youth.

Where do they find you
Dark day dreams or just nightmares
Never close your eyes

Looking at my soul
Deep within a secret place
Guiding me in life

Taking Excursion
Down the hallways of my mind
It's dark but all mine

Sitting in the shadow of the afternoon light.
Filtered by the canopy of green.
As the heat waves spiral upward into the open air.

Watching the shadows of light and dark,
As the sun makes flashing streams through the canopy above
Not moving and lightly breathing,
Listening to the earth, to hear her breath.

Silence is needed to hear her.
Her voice is soft, but don't let that fool you.
If we don't heed the warning and mend our ways,

Mother Nature will step up and unleash her rage
There's no stopping her once she is cross
So in that peaceful moment
When she speaks softly

Please take notice
Once she has spoken, she won't say it twice
She'll just demolish everything in site!!

ride into the wind
feeling the breeze on my face
it renews my life

“Over the River and through the Woods to grandma's house we go”.

Have you checked on grandma lately??
Grandma don't live over no river
And not through the woods,
NO.

She's in Florida
Left no forwarding address.
For birthdays and Christmas
She sends cards and money

That say from anonymous.

The only time we hear from her
Is if there's a Madonna concert
You know their about that same age

Menopause was left behind
And then replaced
Jazzercise, yoga, spinning
Running and last but not least

That personal trainer
To get her in shape
And she hopes
She might even get a date

Moon circles the earth
Earth revolving around sun
Floating flecks of dust

Sun is blazing down
And no water to be found
Buzzard watching man

Worn done over time
Bones worn and chipped in decline
Movement will bring aches

Drift into sleep now
Hip replacement to end pain
From skilled surgeons hands

Now walk without pain
Skipping and dancing all day
Brighter days ahead

A new life to see
As there's no pain hip to knee
I'm going dancing

Looking on the vastness of the sea of ice
Being pushed up into a wave that stays frozen in time
Until spring and the gradual breakup of the ice
Floating chucks from the size of a dinghy to a full size ship

Cold and unforgiving the weather far below zero
Winds howling across the ice
Leaving a white fog below
And freezes everything in sight

But look quick because it will soon be dark
No ships on the sea except frozen in place
As you walk where they use to be
Dogs on the ready to head out today

Sled loaded with goods to stay warm and survive
Parka, gloves and boots with layers below
Necessities of life when it's -60 below
Waiting till noon for just a little light

Even though soon it will be just like night.
Giving the command to mush on you huskies
Dogs off in a rush excited to run
We survive together or not at all

This place is unforgiving to one an all.
