fog lifting early
as the sun brings a new day
and beachcombers play

sand wet from wave washed
shores squishing between toes as
children run and play

waves crash over rocks
as sea gulls float on light breeze
searching for a mate

baked daily by heat
God teasing and giving hope
it just sprinkled rain

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

Thanksgiving now past
black Friday thing of the past
holiday season

slicing the turkey
stuffing with cranberry sauce
a sandwich is made

Christmas time is here
gifts mistletoe and good cheer
and goodnight to all

The view that we have
when looking from the realm
of the third eye,
is meant to create an understanding,
of accepted ideas,
within the realm of the known
individual universe of our own minds.
It can be miss-interpreted if taken too seriously.

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.

Her eyes like dark chocolate,
her hair fine like silk.
The delicate features.
Keep my Island Girl dream alive.

To hold her in my arms,
kissing her soft lips.
Her soft breast against me,
brings my dream alive.

Milk, semi and white
flour, sugar, eggs and then beat
yum cookie taste treat

another day gone
blood soaking into the ground
there's reason for death
just another useless life
snatched away just to appease
the daily news body count.

Laying in the dark.
Thoughts racing down
the hallways of my mind.

Looking for sleep
to end this day.
attempting to escape the noise.

The darkness before my eyes,
gives me pause.
Realizing I am not alone.

But one of the many,
People of the night.

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

A neutral day of light,
day and night matched in time as solstice nears.

Morning light slipping
between clouds to light the morning sky.

Looking on my love,
her head she lays upon my arm.
Reaching across to hold me close.

Then a gentle murmur from her lips of peace,
as again she drifts off to sleep.
In her protected comfort zone.

Smiling now myself, knowing,
I gave her a safe place to rest and be at peace.

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!!

Waking to the light
Darkness follows near
Reach out to the light

missing you tonight
I left dreams on my pillow
hoping you'd find them

I left a kiss there
as I held you in my arms
until the morning

Time to renew life,
time to end life,
beginning of a new year.

That choose to renew or end life,
lays in the hands of each of us.
Individually we make choices.

So as you go about your day,
the rest of your life, your future
rest with you, not someone else.

What decision you make
for the path you select
to go forward in your life today.
This will guide you to
beauty with optimistic view.

Go the pessimist road,
you find road blocks continually in your path,
your own mind holding you back.

The time of year to praise our Lord.
Give thanks for the gift.
We celebrate this time of year,
the birth of our savior Jesus, Apostle of God.

Today became sad for me,
emptiness my feeling inside.
So dark this place, the hallways I pace,
within my own mind. Examining each file with care.

Searching for what is apparently
beyond my control.
Now a little speck of light has shined through,
the vision is dark.

I realized today, that in life,
many memories have a greater effect,
but with a hard sharper edge that cuts extra deep.
Down through the bone, straight to the soul.

I died a little today,
a little more than yesterday.
Moments in life, child,
divorce, accidents, spousal dispute or perhaps death.

It has come to my conscious mind
that with each tragic event
a small piece of us dies.
Which would explain why I feel dead inside.

Love is like warm honey
Slowly rolling
Off the end of your tongue

When you first
Feel your pulse
Your heart

Then the quickening
Of your breath
Smelling the scent

As it rises
You inhale
Feeling more excitement

Your heart is racing
Now she is close
Passing by

The brush of her
Arm against your thigh
And as she passes

You grasp the table
And your espresso too
Before you fall down

You'll be back tomorrow
At the same time
For another scent or a touch

Which is a lovely way to start your day

You hear BB King
And you love the blues
You have Buddy Guy
And he can make you fly

As **** and the boys
Scream again once more
When you hear the blues
It's a soulful ride

It's memories
Of pain
Of love
Maybe lost or won

But with the blues
Love, ***** and drugs
It may be a blur
Or a faded memory

If you remember at all!

But no matter
The pain or
Loss of love
You'll always have the blues

music waves in air
coffee time relaxing me
God did good today

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.

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.

dancing in the moon
glow reflecting on my night
with my love in life
arms holding close while kisses
find the taste of sweet peaches

blind date and it starts
her eyes bright and smile so cute
maybe I found love

meeting for dinner
discussing our lives each one
finding common ground

coming together
making a home and a life
never be apart

finally words said
bringing joy and happiness
love you forever

inside my own mind
looking out, then realizing
my loves like this life
it can be destroyed by me
or saved by blink of an eye

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