legs are strong
bones of iron
stomach settled
solid bedrock
heart beats steady
love it's music
shoulders wide
carrying my share
mind is clear
armored from deceit

yet the sight of the weak
old, young, infirmed
being abused
others greedy gain

drops me to my knees
in prayer
their poor souls

for as one great man did say
'they know not what they do'

the weaker have no worry
their place already secured

frozen limbs bejeweled
upon brushed white diamonds set
hoarfrost wonderland

when our bloom was young
petals unweathered by storm
the rain was welcome

sunset silhouette
reaching out for her partner
as night approaches

such flowers of life
hexagonal honeycombs
golden ratio

in everything
exhibit divine structure
sacred geometry

tough ol' girl
bent legged and tired
somehow glimpsing another spring
in the winter of her life

Hit me with the gushy stuff
the mushy lovey good stuff
I've had enough!
no more trauma
tired of the daily drama
Hit me with that loving touch

reality seen
those bleeding hearts now breaking
corrupted pillars
liars with trusted voices
huddled masses awaken

below her melting blue face
I stood barefoot in her milky cold runoff
her essence clouded my frozen feet
yet I felt her nourishment collect
as heavy her minerals do lay
properly exfoliated
I eagerly absorbed her gifts
extracted over millennium
now coursing through my blood
shared
I left crying as if she were my mother
I feel something kindred now
invigorated too

morning mist
hovers sleepily
sipping tea

people dance around
acting in this bizarre play
that only they watch

sun glazed ice
solace framed blue sky
beauty blinds

blissful clouds pass by
towards cumulus station
cloud nine now boarding

caresses quicken
auroras seductive way
sultry nights green light

week twenty five
gotta flatten the curving
we were told just two
now even masks aren't enough
quacky fauci wants goggles

hoarding good loving
gold to romantics at heart
richness shared with you

ten cent cigarettes
drinkin’ dad’s cold PBRs
swimming hole summers

small precious moments
constant toiling to perfect
daily crosswords solved

they're wheeling her in
sharpened edges glimmering
madam guillotine

such lovely quatrains
romantic sun kissed musings
merci sweet Provence

life is good
catching liquid rides
at lands end

their silent presence
faintest breezes passing by
sprinting up the stairs

cubical farming
busy bees making honey
for paper money

paradise bestowed
approach glistens golden rays
drifting slowly home

does what comes around
go around
is that karma thing
really a *****
when do good things
happen to good people
if there was an eye
for an eye
or a tooth
for a tooth
then I'd go hungry
and blind
to boot
then how's it good
for the gander
and the goose
so why does misery love
company
and when can I fly
the coop

my heart beats
keeps your breaths rhythm
our love song

the weather is nice
watching pepper plants get hot
in afternoon sun

misty day alone
praying for brothers long gone
tears drop as rain falls

even sands stopping
fail in halting such desire
always only you

vision becomes clear
deep within quiet recess
vesica piscis

napping
under an apple tree
rustling leaves
like light rain on a tin roof
whisper sleep

waiting on the doc
glad I'm an infrequent guest
some aren't so lucky
like my turners syndrome girl
she's on a first name basis

yet she smiles all day
cheering up the healthy

golden corridors
hidden within daylight view
glow under night sky

puppy no
cocking his big head
he ponders

all these people
some in concealment
others not
none
saying hello
