Took a walk on the
wild side and ran with the bulls,
limped home, crawled to bed

Please, riddle me this –
Batman, why’s Robins eggs blue?
It’s because of you!

Summer’s soon to end.
Autumn’s just around the bend.
Warmth’s shared with a friend.

What eats like a bug
and flies like a bug, yet not?
It’s a humming-bird.

The water’s warmest,
air’s often not, late summers’
precarious spot

Victorious star the moons plight
Peaking from the blanket of night
Blank sheets warmly beckon askew
Water boils, beans grind, minds brew
Sheets fill blank to dark with light
*
Air surrounds all with bright
Life returns to deadened street
Sound returns to lively feet
Sun awakens to night’s sleep
Darkness shallow, day is deep

We slash and burn
For what we yearn
Drilling holes, no concern
Spending time we didn’t earn
Death devours, we don’t learn
Once gone there’s no return
Replaced we’ll be by roach and fern

A hole’s empty space
to fill, yet space is a hole
full of excitement

A leafless tree is
still a tree, a treeless leaf’s
but fallen beauty

A person who is
typically bored is also

There’s almost never
always or never, almost
always there’s maybe

On a bridge, clouds float,
Waters run reflecting life
Whilst lookers stand still

Cast in bronze, pristine,
Polished, cased, safe on a shelf
Loved from a distance

I recall the sand
Hiding between tiny toes
Soon to hide the eyes

Perpetual change
Repetitions over time
Birth, life, death; repeat

Lava balls racing
Universes compete for
Spectacular ends

To embrace a bear
would be truly fantastic.
Fantasy’s wiser.

Returning for a
warm jacket, youth was exchanged
for maturity

Time heals all wounds;
tears and blood dry, fractures mend,
hearts and minds temper

A sunny day I hope there be
When my soul returns to sea
A flourish of ash from the bridge I know well
Ancient memories, clear as a bell
~
Thrust to the cove of many muddy feet
A world of my own across the street
I’ll mingle with muck then drift with the tide
To the bay, out to sea, spreading far and wide
~
Vastly dispersed, forever safe from hell
Eventually to settle with sand, rock and shell
With never a need to shed a tear for me
When tears are unseen in the sea

I know not how this came to be
Or when the sun shall rise
Or how the glowing sunset
Disappeared before my eyes
~
The streets are full of evil
The dead roam the night
Whilst the darkest of the darkness
Survive till mornings light
~
With every passing cloud
Across the lunar face
I step into the shadows
Leaving not a trace
~
Yet tread I must
Feeling blind
Touch is unfamiliar
Fearing those of kind
~
Where all are equal
When none’s to gain
We all are free
To share the pain
~
All paths uncertain
When never to be seen
All life is questioned
When living in the mean
~
Colors may return
To these blackened eyes
Head facing upwards
Awaiting bluer skies
~
And in the hour-glass
The sands of time do fall
Space above buries the low
Lest the destiny of all?
~
Rushing to an end
That is but a taper
Slipping into despair
To bleed on sandpaper
