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

From the world, I’ve come
Bleeding, in need of your care
Tend my wounds, cure me

My eyes flood quicker
Now that my heart has been thawed
Warmer, I feel more

bloated hogs
gorge on human cost
for profit

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

spent years wasting mine
frivolously without rhyme
learned to stop in time

solace in sevens
two stars divinely align
crossing the heavens

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

Final sun ending
old man struggles to let go
finally home

life full of wonder
At the meandering ways
impossibilities
The Davids slaying evil giants
never surrender
The Alamo story not yet written
Emboldened
To never let you go or let you forget I love you

My heart may have been broken
but it never backed down from a fight
It didn't give up or surrender to fear
It will break itself against your mighty ramparts
To remind you why you chose me, love me
Trust me and need me when the tough times
Always seem to come.

Right on time, here comes the rain
To ease the third degree burns you left
Redeeming lotion to ease a burned heart

Mystical magic musing woman
My green  eyed serpent skinned siren
Your ***** limbs wrap and fork tongue flicks
Entranced and succumbed, paralyzed
your poison courses thru me, no mercy
powerless to your every slight constriction
The pain in loving this deep has us both poisoned

ask the question  first
before answering others
will keep you honest

For some patience is a virtual
for others a mere myth

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

Cracked facade, on stained soil
Built on ancient dirt, piled high
Crumbling, buried in time

long cold night
those walking alone
by his light

a crazy winter
flowed into an early spring
Masters week, in full swing

High up windswept hills
panting, peering out, catching
glimpses of angels
faces in clouds passing by
hoping yours is first in line

silver mercury
cougar quickness embodied
american muscle

Beauty lies within
He says to his lonely self
As he cocoons in

honey drip dropping
golden shadows fading low
slowly ending days

cool morning fog lifts
revealing crystalline ice
crows stretch rested wings

warm hearted people
scotch bonnets, steel drums, high sun
Caribbean soul

I had fun I think
waking up blurry
like last night

Being free is a right
We all wanna be free here
Enjoy! Freedom for all!!

people judge to quick
speed reading my plain cover
turning no pages
too much fine print to bother
sitting here wondering why

nights slowly die
watching moons melt inside
warm beaming eyes

the image I hold
is still mine, but cracked, faded
when love comes to mind

Cool crisp early air
Heat flickers safety inside
My worn easy chair

breathing her air in
spring breezes blowing to me
how she swells my lungs

Walking hand slips in hand
Like a foot in that old canvas ked
Spring and it's thoughts of summer

Resurrection Bay
mountains dance on silver water
salmon are spawning

My kids buy jeans with
The holes built in, they
Think they are cool, so in
My jeans had patches sewn in
Over holes worn in, buy
Hard playin
climbing and fallin
Ripping and tearin
Flesh with denim
I earned those holes
I flaunted in
