From the heart
Garner passion as from olden days;
The stars reflecting hope.
Stifled tears stand as watchmen
Against the strain of an unfaithful steward.
From finite
Garner . . .

Stagger ye drunkard,
having drank
the beauty of intoxication
the harvest brings;
russet colours,
frosted hillsides,
and look to the Goldenrod
as it falters . . .

If I could
gather shadows
drop them into a bag
shake them like dice
then pour them back
into my life,
I wonder

but useless against
indifference.
Go ahead.
Knock yourself out

Memories
of childhood sleepovers;
silly games,
Mom calling, “Lights out!”
flashlights shinning under covers,
then the walls.
Whispers,
“Can you make this shape?” . . .

How dare I claim a friendship
With someone of such eloquence of speech?
Expressing in such flowing words
I’m sure I’ll never master:
The beauty of a sunrise,

Morning wakes timid,
As the sun stretches upon the crest.
Birds stir, rising in song-
The Jay, an outcast.
Dawn embraces her children,
Weeping for those that are lost.

Velvet night
With provisional light,
Upon the sea and palm trees glow.
Frothy waves around my feet
A respite from summer’s heat,
As passion from stolen kisses . . .

the face worn,
with numbers set,
the hands reaching.
slipping into a new day,
everything blends,

Spring brings rain.
Grass becomes tender green.
It rains.
Flowers bloom.
More rain.
Lawns grow lush.
Rain, rain.
The grass, ankle high and thriving.
Rains drench.
