Core [C.O.R.E]

just a little thread
of water
down the side
of a cup

trickle

as honey runs
sweet
insipid
and slow

in the most silent way,
how he passes his time,
gradual light graces his fronds,
smears across late day hues,
in an exquisite dance,
whispers through the tines.

A new day has dawned
As we stroll through the grassy meadows
And come up upon the campsite
I had prepared the day before
With plenty of wood for the fire
And a picnic table to start a romantic meal
I set …

Nothing , And I mean nothing can ever hurt them now
together they flourish and sustain
both securing and giving a pure heart

take me to the place where you go
where nobody knows

Do not fool yourself
to think
you have fondled
a saint
You have merely
touched your lips
upon
a burden.

Love the madness of serving yourself…..

The Horny Horns played funkadelic as the sound of
trombone, sax and trumpet rent the air
There within the music, minds travelled
to where beats of soul echoed through the psyche

Always in the groove giv…

darkness sits in hot idleness
across my half sleeping form,
in unseasonal warmth,
the night noises enter
each open window.

and in these days inbetween,

Time passed the full

Reflection understood it was
Sorrow who held the
Moment… of time
Thwarted in the
Land of
Neglect…

You rape and
Pillage. Storm my very
Heart! What is it you
Want from me? Is it my
Pound of flesh? I gave that

It leaps
It bounds
It wishes
It hopes
Because maybe this time
It could be th…

For a moment
We were together
Building a life
Happily
But it was all in my head
Just a day dream

An easy picture to see
Because it’s so easy

And that’s not all…

I’ll fly like a bat out of hell.
I’ll come crash…
