dream our life away
dreams do come true, we are proof
what more could I dream?
your here, laying in my arms
I dream with you all day long

golden portal through a crimson sky
shows promise of a gilded morrow
sailors long tales swear it so

what's a lifetime mean
the mayfly hatching, I'm awed
so easily he flies

frantic summer pace
fireweed bloom, but slowly!
snow quickly follows

We are the sowers of seeds
These little buds we choose to share
Need careful thought, love, and care
Not meant to be just strewn about to dry
Someone’s life lessons splayed out to just die
So whoever plants these in hopes of growth
have already done so, go forth and sow

That blue dream lifted from my hand
light as a feather but hard as rain
Leaving me alone as I jumped in chase
Missing again my baby blue dreams

When I think of you
Time flashes, light stops, I cease
Recalling nothing

aqua moon swaray
ancient riverbeds aglow
spawning summer love

Nothing to discuss
my words are never enough
I, you, us means love

Black kites circle high
Tightening Slowly descending
Dark wings block the light

Love me to the moon and back
That is pretty far
But what of Pluto Saturn or even Mars
What of infinity or forever
Now you see the moon is not far
For Love to travel on a wishing star

Imagine,  if you will,
for a small split second,
my own despair
in watching your
own heartache coming
and patiently waiting
on it’s evident but
easily predictable
crashing of your
perfect little world,
helplessly watching

Regal heart guarding
Majestic royalty seen
Love,  Red Wishing

smoking horizon
heat gusting this way
firestorms foretell
burning pain coming, raging
anticipation rising

before this is gone
loving that one final time
in a warm embrace
a simple goodbye won 't do
whisper, caio babe, in a kiss

snows early frosting
mountain tops now frozen white
termination dust

your hot steamy breath
yesterday’s roast with gravy
betrays your mother
bear dog is fat and happy
stealings munchies from pappy

shadows disappear
like dreams end as bells strike twelve
when lights allowed in

water has gone slack
silent air, calm clouds, just hanging
somewhere dolphins feed

pristine reflections
not a ripple to distort
my imperfections

My dogs are barking shut them up
That dog don't hunt stupid animal
Can't teach an old dog new tricks
He's a dog and she's a female version
We use dog in a derogatory way
put him on a leash if you walk today
best of friends is what they say
loyal to the core all day every day
who treats friends like dog crap anyway
But every dog has his day
Ever seen a Dogwood bloom, true beauty, I say

sweet, sour smells
under the covers, we breath
life's pungent secret
enticing, tasting the air
sampling our confections

Dee Cee big spenders
Silver cars and golden wives,
copper pennies clang

Merle Haggard playin'
underage whiskey sippin'
kids skinny dippin'
rollin' **** while trespassin'
outlaw country kids kickin'

crawling from the weeds
fanged mouth ajar, eyes never blink
laid out, his evil deeds

early dawn writing
peace by the fire, thoughts free, one
Canadian ace
winding approach, dodging limbs
nervously descends, eyes wide

Anticipation
Like a first time high school prom
Like the last mile home

lost sunsets
waiting on darkness
losing light

baby gummies play
running hiding from mother
sweet cubs find trouble

wolves shed tears, howling
moonlight cries, echoing
fireplace writing, reflecting
old flames in my heart, rekindling
memories, drifting
old feelings deep, thawing
when I too howled tears, crying
at the moonlight, sobbing

Ever witnessed true elegance
true grace, lying sleeping in human form
A  moment before she sees first rays of light
