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.
the hill is bored endless by rabbit,
my cush…
Yes, I will undress for you,
Each garment slowly tossed aside,
And yes, I will confess to you
My wanting, without guilt or pride.
darkness sits in hot idleness
across my half sleeping form,
in unseasonal warmth,
the night noises enter
each open window.
you had to leave,
and in these days inbetween,
my second brain
does not see or hear…
For a moment
We were together
Building a life
Happily
But it was all in my head
Just a day dream
A small hope
An easy picture to see

My dreams

By allowing the elaborate collage of words to paint imagery they may only have encountered dripping out of their most unexplainable dreams…
I’ll walk the walk.

inside which lies a treasure.
I keep it there, for it’s not often needed.
we all need to find a hand
when there is no hand there,
when we search in the pantry for food

my back against the name inscribed
the brief celebration of your lifetime.

that only they ac…
Scribbles of a life well-lived are all this journal holds.
These pages, torn and tattered, sport coffee stains
and careless drips from a cherrydip ice cream cone.
Holding back these tears
Of all the pent up hope
That you’d be in this game of two
My light by my side

i was barely born,
and those arms in which i was swept,
and in which i so soundly slept,

today the heat rises high,
