if that kiss our last
would you recall like our first
as i reminisce
all our late night rendezvous
in loving how they do last

feeling it's richness
as fleeting as summer love
when life seems content

crossing approaching
acres away yet closing
no other way through

evening bells toll
rain drops echo through tin roofs
slowly tired eyes close

depths never ending
emerald abyss pure bliss
my green eyed lady

dreaming liquid dreams
fluid streaming unconscious
drowning without you

pure white pages
latest breath ending
peaceful pause

the earth did tremble
light faded into darkness
the sixth to ninth hour

turning it around
over and over again
in meditation
can lead to new directions
a course never before thought

ancient melodies
stoking old flames for new age
rosining their bows

she weareth the sun
about herself so warmly
heating winter nights

everything tainted
even good meaning people
corruption breeding

people changing lanes
from left to right all over
november glows red

divide and conquer
turning friends against each other
but we're all brothers
don't trust mockingbird tv
there's love in these hearts, you'll see

beating pitter pats
racing storm clouds now arrive
running for cover

blues rock me harder
right down to my rotten core
from there I can feel

palmetto branches
sway on ocean born breezes
paint by fading light

autumn winds descend
birches bow in white arches
yellow leaves blow through

pastel flowered walls
pretty patterns repeated
simply beautiful

the rain subsided
settled into deep blue pools
swimming there exposed

always two ahead
master of subtle movements
one piece at a time

this warming sun always reminds me
how your cheeks take its rosy hue
the way your hair somehow shines brighter
your eyes get a deeper aqua blue
when the springs gaining light
and our youthful summer days
lay just ahead

eternal bees toil
producing natures nectar
humans have snapchat
no more michael angelos
auguste rosins rodins

hoodwinked not blinded
with your two eyes wide open
covered your mind's view

sometimes words just fit
without knowing their meaning
like this word quagmire

took that same path
the one we always took
to the birch tree forest
where we carved love
with jigsaw writing
deep into the one
that stood alone
it’s still there now
taller then before
of course
our letters overgrown scars
like badges now worn high
yet everything
is as it was
in love

blue season turns grey
shedding greenery away
white Christmas wishes

Crossing The Bar was grandfather's favorite
I hope I see him there with our pilot
together face to face across that bar

tyrant never sleeps
maniacal in pursuit
while praying for light

cheesy pizza pie
simpler or grander slice
napkins are required

skies circle above
starry galaxies revolve
time comes back around

bright strokes of brilliance
slashing across grays retreat
skies after storming

vastness shrinks
souls searching conclude
stars collide

sweet aunt jemima
your syrupy pancakes
will be sorely missed

airwaves are buzzing
increasing with frequency
something big coming

alone in battle
where minds trickery does thrive
better trust the truth

between beginnings
endings subtle shifting brings
concluding changing

your not average
that no American is
their demeaning words

here does not last long
as fleeting as now in time
but I’m glad I was

dead leaves reminding
chattering frosted windows
hallows reaper sews

spring days whisper by
subtle change on warm breezes
summer flocks return

brewed this ill tempest
constructed on evil tides
umbrellas in floods

working collections
becoming redeemables
alaskas ten cents

where is there from here
seems forever away
sanity's return
world wide twisted sideways
humanity barely hanging on

never really is
it instantly becomes was
now's already gone
