settle back

the horizon
filled with headaches
& heartbreaks


let the waves
push them aside
the beach
warm with new sand
and castles will stand
tropical breezes
the same as winter’s 1
creating a wonderland of fun
either wrapped
in the warmest of clothes
or running
with barefoot toes
the mind has the power
to devourer and expel
write a tale
of your sweetest dream
filled with flowers
of mystical powers
where wishes aren’t needed
every whim is fulfilled
realizing upon wake
your head no longer aches
your heart
is strong & true
blows your mind
doesn’t always take wine
………………………………to settle back into you

1950

1950 was not great
twas excellent
for the breed
that was bred
conquering electronic changes
enduring wars
clinging to flowers
un-leasing
& undoing powers

i too lost a mother at 59
but of
another
world’s cruse
the pink ribbon
they use
of today
to remind & remember
so you get an echo-cardiogram once a year
and
i a different
exam

thank you’s

the puzzle
wasn’t hard
to understand
only
the evolution
of me
suddenly
all stood to cheer
realizing
finding dreams
are meant to be
day to days
are not confused
ring the truth bell
louder today
celebrate
this & everyday
thank you’s
not difficult to declare
it’s not coincidental
that i care
you
endowed
fame
………… claimed & stored
adoration
is the formation
the ground
the foundation

i am willing to share
this day
with you
& you
and the world too
and
i will always
remember
to say
thank you

that 1

in the exhale
of loss of faith
turn to memories
that can’t be denied
turn to dreams
that survived

is deceived held tighter
retained longer
than support & care
concern
is not an attachment
worries can be shared

where would i be
without
my others
and where would you
be
without me or
the 1 that’s always there

that friend
who
has wiped your tears
held your hand
shared your un-admitted fears
who laughed
till mid-night
drinking shots
that 1
who in an uninterrupted breath
called upon you
to test
strength & fortitude
knowing all along
it is within you

if apologies or gratitude
are misplaced
that 1
needs only a hug
that 1
understands
there is always
more love

the twi

i love the twi
part of the day
before light fades to dark
birds stop singing
gnats & moths yet to wake
a peaceful state
that most abuse
the still
the silence
the changing air
take a whiff
smell the difference
the perfume of day
mixing with
the cologne of night
delight
absorb
in this
magical flight

 

 


the penny (for jim & maryellen)

reached in my pocket
found the penny
you gave
that held the promise
you made

no broken hearts
no unspoken words
truth
bonds our souls
love
is the key
take my hand
take my heart

i wish to spend
everyday with you
watch the sun
and moon rise
wave at the tide
as flows out
welcome it back
as it reaches our toes
knowing
you’re there
knowing
you share

this promise made
on the penny i gave
