Man keep's fear inside
A light but cold cocoon of
his darkest places

Salt water rising up
Sweet oysters on silver ships
And I with no coffee

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

Glacier melt to waterfall
Frozen hearts thaw with light
solid gold veins, coursing, remain

I saw that dead flower in your box
The one with your memories stored
The silly poems I would right, when alone
Your mothers rings, your daddy's gold
The letters read, re-read, time and time again
It was in that box, from a place I've never been
What memories does it hold, alone, of when
I imagine you, before me, when I look within

you swirling eyes, green designs
shatters my resolve, leaves me blind
I surrender to  your emerald gaze

Back deck rocking chair
Vintage beer, lager, I do believe
For a moment, I breath

I close my eyes and see the stars layed
Out on my  down filled blanket
Covered in the great Milkey Way

What could they be thinking
swimming loving rotting sinking
Watching fish doing a mindless thing
Wasting struggling dying for nothing
but alas, that bright silver young-ling
so alarming to see mindful fish doing
a simple mindful thing

on crystal sky days
wonders are seen all around
but not this blue day
low pressure has you socked in
maybe tomorrow will clear

seeing waves crashing
disappearing in the sand
fine mist escaping
rising into dry white clouds
then four o'clock thunder claps

greyness among
endless grey
neither light dark
between
good bad
taking leaving
nothing coming
everything gone
slack tide of life
missing the flow

Springs morning mist hides the many peaks
Under gods drapes to see the snow still remains
Winters last chance braces for warmer days

Your eyes close as you go slack
I lean in as you arch glistening back
We're getting close one or two more should do
Then in exhaustion I finally collapse into you

nothing much safer
more comforting, assuring
then mother's embrace

Barren cold north *****
Mother polar and her cub
I miss my moms home made soup

your mesmerizing
smooth shapes shifting, light fading
your shadow in mine

you see you in them
sure the eyes, but other ways
their hugs, smiles, hopes, fears

Reap what you sow
life and karma share traits
Be kind, we're all soulmates

Contentment
In the arms contracting my breath
bating, waiting for the first of the morning light

new day
everything still
even this roaring mind
bodies perfectly intertwined
renewed

The mountains hold it back
As earths natural barracade
Grey stubborn and dark
Always at the gates


But their enemy has started
it's slow inevitable advance
Like a million times before
The slow shift in earthly balance

The mountains front flank
braces flexes and holds
But the enemy is at the gates
Hues of silver and gold

Light!! And a new day!
So. Take a moment,,,,,,,,,
for Ancestors lost or who have
Gone away,,,,,,,,,,

For the light says they see you
And wanted it made clear
That they love you
And they are always near

Floating, arms bloated
bobbing, mindless thoughts adrift
Scraping bottom earth
anchored here, your coral sea
surrounds my island fortress

The mountain scalp
has been peeled back
showing a hint of new growth
as spring conditions the fertile
earth below the peaks retreating cap

Forest floor hunting
Elusive gold sustenance
No dinner tonight

Old man”s bladder
Sitting by a laughing brook
Time to go, again

My ashes blew away long ago
On autumn winds bound south by southeast
Back home to the sawgrass swaying
Marsh hen awkwardly ascending
Now I rest in the old mans beard,
and the branch it calls home with
The wings of the morning dove
The bullfrog burps me after a meal
The sandgnats love my zesty spice
I see all this from above as a speck
On the *** of a giant albatross

I open her up
Juices flow, she purrs along
Running down the end

All things good in green
Not money, greed, nor envy
But your eyes, trees, grass

I ran into walls
I was scared and ran from walls
I stroll around walls

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

The waterbugs glide
Like her sky dive dreams
My middle bug flows with life

my nightmares the same
your just a whisper, some faint
ideas of love, lust
lost in seas of strange faces
never hearing you again
