I saw you in her
for one split moment
just for that moment
It had been so long since
I remembered you again
I saw you again
I felt you again
I wanted you again
I loved you again and again and again
Just for a moment
and
then
you were gone

your a broken shell
you in millions of pieces
miss you being whole

loony bugs bunny
snapping carrots, throwing shade
knowing that's not all
folks take that rabbit too lite
never saw bugs sweating life

still our silence
even lonely thoughts echo
words never spoken

headstone silhouettes
moon drawn shadows stand alone
silent forever

I open her up
Juices flow, she purrs along
Running down the end

close my eyes, the water roars nearby
swirls abound, glacier retreat on full display
this well too will dry as time coasts by

The water rises on
the whims of a fickle moon
Drowning me in it's sorrow

My co-worker bought a twenty-twenty calendar today
To work I followed some ones footsteps on the way
I did see the sun come up and had a roll in the hay
Who's late for what anyway?

It’s a warriors heart
Bloodied, battered, and  bruised,
Branded, banded, and barred
But beating always beating

waking up to sun
beaming in now open eyes
counting blessings twice

my personal flame
flickering heated passion
burning me within

I pray you find hope
In the simple rising sun
In the warmth it brings

tumbleweed dancing
dos e dos down main street dirt
wild west saloon shots
wasted, ghostly piano tunes
echo in some boxed canyon

poor peasants singing
lifted up on golden wings
enriching us all

between you and i
all is laid bare, nothing hides
only love remains

oceanside drinking
cold salty oyster sipping
frigid beer on ice
sunset ocean winds strengthen
pretty woman to love with

watching the play
this whole world the stage
greek tragedy

I feel a sense of loss not unlike an aching
When a walk in steps of the ancients
Putting fingers in a clay makers own prints
Feel what he felt in a moment of times instance
Near or far the sense of familiar loss is there
feeling as though I am there with their fears
Of loves hopes dreams loss and despairs
Like I do here now and with me everywhere

waxing nighttime lord
overshadowed by brighter
awaits his darkness

you are my good love
best in the world, my one true
my right kind loving

slowly drips
buckets full of life
till empty

My mind starts flooding
Thoughts of water, warm water
To wash it away

you see you in them
sure the eyes, but other ways
their hugs, smiles, hopes, fears

quiet, glass still lake
no leaf to break the calm
a fish slurps a fly

till the morning comes
when last nights just memories
making love to you

times slow start
accelerated
sudden stop

theres never more time
happens to always run out
even nine live cats

Dogwood bloom in
Azalea pink in
Pine tree pol in
Caledonia morn in
Whole hog pig pick in
Oyster roast shuck in
Childhood remember in
Pawleys isle in
yep, carolina dream in

Always warm inside
Smoldering during cold times
Roaring when it’s not

Stick figure dancing
ballet, tapping ballroom blitz
disco window show
With wild westerly breezes
Keeping beats on paned glasses

darkest of hours
counting minutes to seconds
torment me forever
ticking away in my brain
silenced, by just holding you

Looking back it slowly gains.....
