Over the river
Young seeds on a branch / Soaring over the river / Subject to the wind
Lethargia
Soft, smothering waves / Gently lap against the shore / Dragging it away
Golden sea
I ask me why I left the golden sea / Let human voices drown its roaring waves / Exchanged delightful little bubbles / Swirling round my an…
I need a new word
The word I want’s a golden poppy / Not some rusted out jalopy
Extrospection
Tiny ghosts dancing / In kerfuffled harmony / Stirred by shafts of light
Piercing shadows
ineffable light / Drawn to being of quiet / imperturbation
All cozy in our bed
Roaring passions settled down / To warm and glowing embers
Lured
Yes, there’s something still alive / Here at number forty five
Oh Thursday
Could I have suffered such infernal luck / As losing precious days amongst my dreams?
Tasting snowflakes
Faded snapshots in paper frames / Sealed in plastic wrappers / To retain forever in my grasp / Delicious moments I can savor / Sweet drops…
Angels in the crowd
Cheerful waters flow / Cascading down their own path / Sprinkling drops of joy
Haiku No. 37
purple streams boiling, / throbbing achingly to loose / trapped within a stone
Sleeping beauty
A new sun blossoms / The universe basked with light / Streaming from her eyes
I’m ready
Oh baby don’t blush / Cast away that old green dress / Show me your colors
Twilight
orange singed mountains / wishes winking from heaven / Candles in windows
Splash
A wave breaks / Just out of sight / Crashing back against its maternal flow
Perennial misgiving
Flying through blue mist / Propelled by knowledge and fears / I missed the journey
Ominous
Dark billowing clouds / Gathered menace hovering / to Paint the sunset
Wise lessons for a thirsty child
Struggling to the ridge / I find a lazy dragon / Devouring rivers
Still
Light and shadows pause / At the edge of everything / Evening kisses dawn
And
me myself and i / contemplating opposites / nurturing the flow
Lessons
Down pours liquid life / Casting contrast at my feet / I choose warm and dry
These walls are strong
Walls thick as mountains / Stones I’ve laid and fixed with mud / Vanquished by the light
Copulating clouds
Perfervid release / Aftermath a blushing glow / Tremulous conceit
The old man trembles
huge Cumulus loose / Smashing walls to surging streets / children Dance with Joy
Thinking Forward
Sifted bands of light / Splashing joy on purple walls / Shall I take them home?
Towards evening
Towering twilight clouds / Painted by the setting sun / Drift on winds of change
In moments of silence
Mourning doves cooing / Tempt me to draw the curtains / And then fly away
Deserted
Quiet sun baked mornings / Somber wisps of spinning dust / Sweep the streets and leave
Desire
Stepping through shadows / Moonlight dancing in the past / Quenching embers draw
Dressing for dinner
Dressing for dinner / She threw on a blue silk dress / Smothering Moonlight
Coming down from the Blues
I’m comin’ down from the blues / Putin’ on my hat / Lacin’ up my shoes
Musing by candlelight
Tiny wisp of light / Bending, dancing, glowing bright / Playing with a sigh
Someday Morning
Drifts of morning rays / Dust the moonlight from my eyes / Awake man new Born
Morning rouse
Morning comes in cold / Peeking from a warm, soft womb / Pastel lights beckon
What are shadows but a lack of light?
Shadows creeping in / Slide across the blushing light / To lap at my toes
Crystal tears
Collaborative work with Rosa Cobos.
Seasons III
gold grass bend to winds / waters flow from broken stone / shadows dance with joy
Summer tide
the faithful hummingbird / retracing the same paths / Encounters fresh blossoms
At the crest where the road winds downward
Memories emerge / Sunlight draws shadows / Branches bow to tireless winds
Years and years
A Comforting sigh / Reaches across the table / I look away
Instructions for a joyful life
place heal roll forward / launch from ball of foot and toes / repeat with left foot
Merlot shadow
tussled old hippie / bald and chubby in zen robes / retrieving my wine
Stage III
a young girls laughter / reminds me of my daughters / off now on their own
Today
Soft wind strikes my face / brown leaves drift through my shadow / I praise the morning
Yesterday
turning from the light / torrent of shadows / dancing on my bedroom wall
Tomorrow
reaching through mist / I emerge from the darkness / to a distant light
Reminiscent
Distance / In his eye / Perhaps I saw a twinkle / A subtle movement of wrinkles / From a weary smile / Or a reminiscent / Sigh
Sex in the Shower
Cool mist burst into flame / Bouncing off glistening walls / Slithering, stinging, venturing
La Sombra
Se escapa el niño, hacia el rincón de las palomas.
Tower of Shadows
Red river burning / Bubbling / Boiling / Bursting through my veins
Shafts of light
David stood under the shower and looked into the cool spray.
Wednesday’s Song
Thursday mourning Wednesday’s Song
The Journey
I am the firm bolder / Upon which fertile earth / Has gathered / And into which / Creep the roots / Of a mighty pine
Charcoal blues
Ma`am, we’re out of tune / Smothering in friendly funk / Jazz that’s gone to blues
