Ocean breezes howl, the seagulls soar.
Frigid waves crash on the rocky shore.
Yet the morning mist rises above it all.
And foggy eyes see everything’s small.

Bedtime soon and demons shall awake;
but with a soul gone there’s none to take.
The screams in my head scare the spirits away.
Nightmares fast-forward to the light of day.
The ghosts turn white when I yell boo.
And the Reaper can shove his sickle too.
Coz in reality horror lives and fantasy dies.
And sleep‘s just a void behind closed eyes.

To write from one’s heart,
the sweetest of art,
Valentine’s every day.
~
To write from ones soul,
a most serious goal,
but stillness has its sway.
~
To write from the head,
reality’s shed,
the world’s just our way.
~
In time and space and geography’s place;
people rush by, each a new face.
All’s directing a no act play.
~
Scenes overlap and curtains fall,
script’s blank await the call.
Silence screams its say.
~
A choice to write’s a right to choose.
When darkness consumes the bright side we lose,
left only with blue and gray.
~
If a life imagined we’re to create,
chapters mate and thoughts relate.
The end’s let to stray.

In the cosmos, human’s small,
scurrying about atop their ball.
We’ll think we’re large until our fall,
when all are blue on this little ball.

Time’s the space between events.
Events made from cause and effect.
Effects felt when closing space,
causing events to speed up the space.
.
Much like life, love and lust,
the time comes and in we’re thrust.
The future is and the past was,
effecting all, just because.

Our Wrinkle in Time
Work is what we do,
when not doing what we want.
Like death but with pay.
~
Constant Ripples
Time is space between.
Between matters and doesn’t.
Distance less with light.
~
Perpetual Emotion
Love is energy.
Hearts, minds and bodies unite.
Time accelerates.

Reality is different for us all.
Some will rise while others fall.
Though our time and space is the same,
some whither, for others fame.
~
Our state of mind has its say,
whether black, white or shades of gray.
The blues surround in the color of sky.
Is it bright asking why?
~
Optimism and pessimism play a role,
highs and lows take their toll.
Counting blessings don’t always add up.
Half’s irrelevant with a hole in our cup.
~
Reflection and introspection yield clues.
But not all answers bring good news.
Happiness being just a smile away,
I’ll seek yet again another day.
~*~

Penned in my head words leak out.
Even tone’s seen with never a shout.
There’s no laughter, whispers or a scream.
The sun doesn’t shine nor does the moon beam.
~
In two dimensions my thoughts do lie.
Depth filtered through one blind eye.
Torn between paper and time,
my heart beats on rhythm and rhyme.
~
Love’s too easy when inspiration’s free.
Fear’s too real when the enemy’s me.
Fantasy’s seen with a panoramic view.
Consumption’s felt when all the colors blue.
~
Life’s many a hue with every shade of gray.
But black and white’s what we read every day.
Yesterday shapes where our todays begin.
And tomorrows start when life leaks in.

I need to write something to cheer me up,
maybe a fairy tale, a trip or new pup.
But no love stories, not any more.
I failed at that before.
~
Now something brighter, no emotion at all.
I won’t have to see it if I write really small.
Perhaps of worlds unknown, can’t be wrong,
something airy and mellow maybe a song.
~
I’ll write of the stars and space beyond,
or of rippled reflections of ducks on a pond.
Or I won’t write at all, I’ll learn the fiddle!
Nah, I’m just kidding and cheered up a little.

We sometime get what we want.
We sometime get what we need.
Sometimes both are satisfied.
That’s when we truly succeed.

When wants and needs are met,
hearts and minds are freed.
When time and space align,
growth assured for the seed.

A coal fired space force; I hear is in the works.
A test flight’s needed, let’s send some jerks.
It can be its creator with lil Mikey by his side.
I’ll gladly pack lunch for their long ride.
Cozy in their ark, endlessly they’ll float.
Lost in space, the pair can forever gloat.

Hello’s stronger.
Goodbye’s longer.
Lips longingly meet,
reluctantly retreat.
Time will test,
fortitude or rest.
Time’s between,
future’s seen.
In eyes of green,
no space between.

Distance divides, in hearts no space.
My place felt on her glowing face.
Time’s seen in loving eyes.
Equals together, emotion multiplies.

Our tall ship sails to horizons unknown.
Cool breezes guide, randomly blown.
Tides rise and fall, emotions thrown.
Waves plunder, our hulls moan.
Lost at sea we’re never alone.

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.

Dueling Wits, I Coulda Had a G8
If a sum’s greater
than its parts, then parts lacking
must be a summit.

Static unheard in a charged universe,
all’s plus or minus, forward or reverse.
Ions abound to attract and repel.
Eons in space build stories to tell.
`
Energy’s harnessed by intensity of a core.
Waves emit in a vacuum of evermore.
Negatives negate, obscuring realization.
Where blinded are we to a positive ion nation.

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

Happy Mothers day
Cradles all her precious kin
Judges not, where life begins
Cherished breast nurture space
Moving forward her many race
.
One side day the other night
One side dark the other light
Sheds cool and rain, heat and snow
Her orbits share all else to know
.
Oceans deep, skies bright
Growing all, her suns might
She frees to wander, endless whys
Her moons revolve before her eyes
.
Dancing tides flowing minds
Infinite movement never binds
In this universe family all are we
This milky galaxy our mother be

The End
