Heavenly Bodies

Bodies entwine,
your hand touches mine.
Your hips sway,
as I move your way.
Slowly making love,
dancing in the stars...

Bridging Tomorrow

Like waking and
breakfast
it’s poetry first

The day is so
ordered
quenching my thirst

Each word like a
greeting
the day on parade

Each feeling
endemic
— another one saved

Graveside Serenade

Shadows fall against the gravestones of this forgotten cemetery.
Underground, the dead begin to stir, right behind the mortuary.
In the dead of night, beware the shadows, a doorway to their lair.
Hallows eve fast approaches, a scent of brimstone...

Grandmother's Song

First look at

 Grand Canyon
eternity’s birth

Your eyes changed
forever
in awe of its girth

All words into
whispers
each view but a gift

Alive in its
legend
— unchanged in its myth

The Stars Are My Only Friends

Every night, around the same time, they show up.
They stay as long as I need them
and quietly leave before dawn.
They know all my secrets,
without me ever having to say a word.
Only ones to know, yet to never judge.
They have seen me smile...

A Duck

I once saw in a pond a duck,
drinking at the lone shore a buck,
many leaves falling to the ground,
yet summer always could be found
like white light the ice skies...

Psychopathica

Subtle it's subversion it just catches the eye.
Can't tell which diversions really the greater lie.
Take caution it's pervasive yet it goes undetected.
Subconsciously persuasive now your mind is infected.
Unknowingly you've now become part of...
