Echoes of a Century
There’s a chariot…of fire
With wings that expand the breadth of sky as far as the eye can see
And it’s so intense that I…
Feel my knees will be weak as if the earth will shake beneath my feet
And the flames…of glory
Will descend in a downpour to cleanse and purify the heart and mind
While souls loom over
Grateful but with tears…

Retrogenesis
She taught me not to fear death
It’s just part of living
Now every time that I go and visit her
My soul hurts and heart sinks
She’s waiting to cross that bridge
Gone are the stories she used to tell
As far back as 1936
All the great details she could recall
Are now but soft flashbacks of mystery
I kiss her cheeks…

Sunup never felt
So unreal you can’t find it
While nature wavers.Full Moon nights bring calm
Cool thoughts about the future,
Selene carries on.The Star that fell down
Upon this hearts softer ground
Only the Moon knows.- View more comments

Star Bound – A Tribute to Joshua Bond
Poets, they may come and go
While others are here to stay
And though some you’ll never know
The ones you meet…change your fate
Such were my travels when I was Deep Underground
The harder side of poetry was never the same
When I met a man from Portugal, Mr. Bond
With poetic skill and craft…

Stargazers in Awe
There is a nostalgia in her eyes
Like the memory of a million heartbeats echoing through time
A story untold through a near glassy glacial glance
Cold and warm all at once
Reaching out in the night
In the vast expanse there is a sigh
It’s as if there is a secret from the universe waiting to escape
You can almost imagine it as it…

the intimate nature of trees
sending messages to other trees through there roots
talking quietly, lest the mortals listening will know their story
my soul whispers my dreams to their leaves
ever stoic, they never tell anyone
one might think they are lone soldiers
but this isn’t true; they are connected through their umbilicus to the Earth
they have…

Ahavati
I’ve always said she’s been a voice of reason
When times got so befuddled and rough
She’s been an artistic inspiration
A lyrical sister who knows her stuff
She’s got a passion for…ars poetica
She has been supportive and perceptive
Even when others have tried her patience
She’s been up-front, honest and…

Pretty Good
Across Multiverses
Somewhere out in the world right now
A woman is opening the door
Getting bad news as she holds her children
While somewhere in a different universe
She is welcoming her husband home
And maybe somewhere in the multiverse
He is still searching for her…
Somewhere in the world right now
A child is…

“He didn’t make it home.”, I heard over the phone as the quiet was deafening.
“Where could he be? Its now past three in the morning!”
The sheriff just pulled up. He asked for a cup of coffee.
“Old man died today, when he hit a tree. No skid marks were seen.…

Asked the tree to the flower, “Do you charge by the hour, for the sweet supplies you feed her?”
“No” said the flower, “she brings to my heart the messages sent from my lover.”

30/30 If Time Listened to Me
Rewriting Memory
if time listened to me
I’d ask it to give me more time
so that all the happy memories feel strong longer
and last longer
to the point my soul would feel sublime
if time heard my reasons
then all the melancholic days would be a blast
everything sad would then be on the upside
with great…

Scents of rosemary and mint drifting in.

This isn’t a competition.
There is room for more than one.
Actually, there’s room for everyone.

You are creating the lack
in your imagination.
Remember the loaves and fishes?
If we share,
there is always enough.
