there’s hope
all alone
crying

here’s pain
so adorned
laughing

where’s peace
still around
waiting

that’s hate
in shadows
snarling

and love
still wishing
for some

one half percent chance
my youngest's long odds for birth
miracles happen
now fifteen short years later
high school freshman teenager

Another old night
blood red, chasing arrows in
reflections, wasting
away in Peruvian
dreams of when the night was young

waking at night
only my dreams wander
how cold it is!

Look! Out my window
Metal beacons show the rising sun
Thanks for the reminder

mysterious rhyme
wraps around every mind
never ending time

Gentle rain falling,
mist made droplets sliding down
trails carved by old tears

Brown white hell falling
Eyes sharp, an arrow point, Flash!
death from razor talons

Sultry silky sheen
Nylon legs, so smooth, caressed
From excited fingers
hooking sides, slipping them down
Sweet love smell, firm flesh inside

mountain high glaciers
as blue as the sky above
feeds her swollen creeks

whispy green rivers
in our countries northern sky
bring romance to night

grizzled beasts feeding
as salmon swim to their fate
wolves ever present

mushing sled dogs run
racing anchorage to nome
heritage recalled

our final frontier
In McKinley's great shadow
wild free Alaska

Birches still slumber
gentle breezes brush spring leaves
bears begin stretching
strolling quiet dawn marshes
birds chirp their lumbered approach

Piercing evening glow
A show of crimson lights above
Guide my voyage home

Denim and plaid angel
beautiful bad *** in Levi Strauss
she's amazing, I'm lucky

On an open valley hillside
The candle light flickers
As they bend to cool winds
Thousands of swaying flames
Coaxing precious droplets down
Hoping to wash in the cool rain
the annual fireweed dance ignites
blazing growth to the parched
valley floor below

your pearl colored heart
matches your porcelain glow
now sun kissed, shaded pink
golden hued nose, matching cheeks
carolina summer fun

In the spring I knew it all
As Summer was a ball before the Fall
Into Winter when I look to recall

You say I disgust you, how gross
Me groveling, for food, for money, for love
Am I any different then you? How rude
You with your loveless life and empty scripts
We both fill our voids because of what we miss
Your know better off then me, the ***, you just
Turned your nose up at.
You splashed my sign
It’s all I had.

It’s all I can do
trying to stay in your view
losing ground to you

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

low hanging peaches
as the sun reaches
the windy beaches
eating juicy fruits

I'm alone, it's night
I'm cold, it's clear, the stars watch
As I build a fire

that lonely swing
me pushing you in the park
into setting suns
fading heat our shadows grew
burned memories for ever

Leaves talking to the wind
Low tide water lapping in
Hints of someone near

flash to roaring flame
spark to lightning bolt storm
You to my burning desire

it's always been this
my first glance to our last kiss
all eternal bliss
it's always been you, mistress
hearts eternal happiness

If the next best thing
always your shiny new thing
Glad I'm an old thing
