shallow skies
grey swirls mystify
deep inside

looking over me
running away from myself
seeing where I'll be

perfect harmony
natures evening rhythm
fire flies dance along

off main streets
beneath broken bridges
rivers flow past

Back deck rocking chair
Vintage beer, lager, I do believe
For a moment, I breath

sugar glide
seeking sweet nectar
nighttime raid

one hundred blue moons
meaningless dreams without you
drifting aimless tides

If life were a wave destined
to crash upon it's own rocky heart
then where does life crest or where does it start
With that ripple made from a drop of your tear
that caused this rocky heart of fear

Some say mere luck
Your lucky you got this
That the others did not have
Anything like what I just
Stepped on, picked up and kept
Alive when others never thought
A simple rock could bring so much luck

Green light is going
She left the shade up, light on
Sunshine pouring forth

my Mona Lisa
treasure getting lost in you
such beauty enchants

If your choice is nothing
Mine is to let you have all you want
If you choose to have something anything
I  will choose to extend my hand in love
A hand up, if you will

Ducks nesting, hatch looms
Eagles straighten, fox listen, still
the reaper sharpens

Say goodbye forever
never see you again, ever
My deepest dark fear

sunny warm kisses
upon lipstick red shoulders
summer love burns

new life flutters down
gently morning winds carry
to awaiting dew

long waiting shadow
looms ever larger now
youthful light fades

sunlight gains no more
on other side of midnight
darkness approaches

that oak of a tree
stood tall there one hundred years
a lightning bolt crashed

losing trains of thought
whistles blow as they pass through
stuck at the station

mindless bobbers bob
floating on tempest waters
going thru motions

down this rodent raged
another rabbid rabbit crazed
in a mouse's maze
stuck in a no end rat race
hamster wheeling in one place

alaska's north wind
brings us winter time goodness
chili seasons here

All my good memories
I lock in a box, three locks , of course
On special days, I unlock it, to ensure
They all really happened

your eyes, exotic
like saffron scented sunsets
on that faraway dock

recalling last night again
Like a million nights before
The morning after, eggs in bed

He stopped in mid step
as if time and light halted
foot raised, the egret, snapped

spray from wind driven waves
washes the edges, earths soil
sea mist stings my eyes

she looks like trouble
dangling hearts on her chain
sweet beautiful pain
