Grays are Lies
To write with the dawn,
sky’s to rise to brilliant eyes.
To her I am drawn.

Tests Are
Sunday mornings are:
times of quiet and peaceful rest,
shared zest, feeling best.

We Are We
We are as we are.
We’re at the place that we are.
We choose who we are.

Sunlight shines on green through white
Balmy days, nights bright

Conservatism:
Cons, ex-cons and conned trumping

It must be love when
passions can’t be expressed in
haiku’s of amore
~
It must be love when
our hearts beat faster by a
footstep at the door
~
It must be love when
broken hearts are aching yet
we love all the more
~
It must be love when
burning hearts blaze hotter than
science can measure
~
It must be love when
our hearts are left shattered yet
chests still hold treasure
~
It must be love when
all life appears inspired
and our hearts feel pure
`
It must be love when
only a greater failure
seems to reassure
`
It must be love when
our hurting hearts are healed with
love – the only cure
~
It must be love when
hearts and minds know not, but it
Must Be Love – for sure

A Nervous System
A pain in the neck
can be caused stepping on toes
of another’s heel

More Parties
The only answer
to this two party system
is to party more

Only Reflection
Depression is when
the fog passes and the dark
is only more clear

What’s Right
When optimism writ
Pessimism can be erased
Realism then left

Libra-tions
Balance achieved when
heavy hearts and weighty souls
meet a mind on point

Factors
Division added
when negatives multiplied
equaling sum mess.

Simplicity
One and one is two
And when the two’s me and you
No more math’s to do

Why
The numbers don’t lie
There’s too many ways to die
But more if we try

people stand frozen to stare.

Loopy –
The more time is spent
In the mirror, the more time
Reflection’s needed

Focus –
Poets see the world
Through a fish-eye and themselves
Through two-way mirrors

Good Luck –
Broken mirror shards
Though unfortunate leaves much
To reflect upon

Life is Poetry
Some is good and some is bad
Most we’ll never see

Forever’s Never Last ~
Our writing is the
Exercise that forces us
To live fitfully

A store is where our stuff’s bought
Bought’s where our heart’s sold

Writing in peace is
When screams are muffled by the
Voices in your head

Cell-less Cell

Lonely is having
An imaginary friend
That won’t return calls

To write is using
Skeletons in your closet
To appease the wolves

A look, touch – A kiss
Hands, bodies – Tactile bliss
Love – Nothing’s amiss

Heart strings stroked feel heat
Neck caressed long and sweet
Rhythm head to feet

How humans learned
They died for knowledge yearned
Trial and error’d

Non-belief always

Heart always broken

Rainbow on a plate
Sharing the diversity
Thankfully giving

Taxing Tax Free
The nice thing about
being an author is you
wrote your own paycheck.

More or Less
If you try sometime
you do find you get what you
tried for but no more.

Birthday Cake-
Candles blaze, wax pools.
Sugar glazed time on a dish.
Slices of life shared.
Familiar Paths-
Life’s familiar path:
Birth, growth, love, toil and refresh,
relax and recall.
Birthday Wish-
They said “Make a wish”
I wish it not my birthday.
WAIT! – Nope! – didn’t work.

Lie in darkness, yearn
Lie in the sun and you’ll burn
Lie not then you learn

Fetching
Old dogs learn new tricks
Not jumping over fences
Just finding new treats

Make Some Dots
Some connect the dots
Some follow the rigid lines
Some create the dots

False choices whither
