I believe
I just want to believe
So I Believe.
What else is there, everybody believes?
I can believe anything that I want to believe.
I'm not fake, I have common sense

I saw fire blaze in his eyes.
I put out the fire.
Holy book in my hands.

Lightning Strike!
That was one heck of a lightning strike ,
as the band was playing in the bar.
It blew the lights, fans and singer's mike;
we sat in the dark not going far.

I snitch away bits of time before the day's aborted
All the jingles and rhymes, playful times - slidin' bye
Tiny bits refined and boxed for the unknown journey
And there are no . . . more

She was the last companion,
The constant figure at your side
Through the deep snow and icy wind
Of the Siberian winter.
In the freezing nights she would climb
Beneath the covers of your bed . . . more

No one
Could have this much love
All at once, she felt,
And wondered
If it was one big gush of feeling
Seeping through her
From that kiss
From the guy
In the funny hat
With the deep . . . more

I think I may
have died today.
I feel so light-headed.
I thought I might
cry today.

I tried to hide
in bed all day
but it hurt my back
too much. . . . more

Basher of bibles,
Scrutinizer of woman, says,
"What needs doing, I do
And if an angel comes and sits on my shoulder
That's my business and not yours."

Rude Awakening
Groggy at sunrise
Slow shuffle to the bathroom
Warm rump meets cold seat

What's on my plate is what's on my plate
No need to look for other definitions
Like those that ride on the tail winds
Of rusting steam engine trains
That cast off traces of shadow
Lingering . . . more

Ode to the countrymen who mind their P's and Q's
Discussing times forsaken after friendly pint or two
Standing inside byways, watching a match consume
Troubles as feathers fly and maybe a . . . more

I must admit I'm trying to turn back the clock
So I sat down in innocence and promptly forgot
As I drifted past the daydreams into nothingness
And the self that I knew suddenly ceased to exist . . . more

my father when I was very young
Would tell wild tales to me
Of his very own pink crocodile
He rode in the Suwannee
We would look oh how close
So we might see him pass
And see our father longingly . . . more

My unabridged lover waits unperturbed,
Lexicon of love, sweet kiss, soft word.
I nestle beside him, leaf page by page;
Awash in warm ardor, calm undisturbed.
Down pathways of reason my thoughts . . . more

Sleep & eat & play.

Defiant Chronos unwinds season’s grip, serving summons.
Zephyros blusters, disturbing palette so fine.
Shaking flecks flutter, lighting, . . . more

i love you
it scares you half to death
and makes you want to peel your skin off
i want to barge into you
a silent dock
while the ocean laps itself
against

the cloth of your flesh,
the barrier . . . more
