Seek
If you want to
Live it up
Never give up
Never quit
Just sit
In peace
in prayer
with purpose
In chorus
In concert Continue reading Seek

Cast caution aside
Complete love gifted
Conditions lifted
Compassion sifted
Shaken, sprinkled, unsparingly
I follow you Continue reading Lessons
Back
I hear
sweet talk
on the sidewalk
as you pass my way
makes me say
I wish I could stay
my day with you
But you never
look back
at me Continue reading Back
Claim
no laments
no latent strain
when she lay claim
to my soul’s contents
she sings
lie down
lay low
let’s listen Continue reading Claim
Siren
Our island swing
waves sing
slow current
sunburnt
the siren sang
a mermaid’s call
in a trance
I began to fall
sinking fast
for you Continue reading Siren
Plum
Waltzing through her garden
Arms around her shoulders
A kiss and then I told her
I can hardly hold my ardor
She’s the
peaches in my pie the
nectar in my flower the
apple of my eye the
berries in my cobbler the
buzz in my fly the Continue reading Plum

With an alarming wry smile
She keeps on file for
When my phone dials
Her number Continue reading Number

Mind’s a mess head hurts
I’m conquered Continue reading Onlyness
Miss Adventure
It’s not that I miss she is gone
It’s not that I miss who we were
It’s not that I miss the misadventure
when we once felt love’s stir
It’s that I
miss the mess
miss the blur
miss the test
I miss when Miss Adventure
stepped through the door Continue reading Miss Adventure
yesterday
yesterday’s touch
etched on
my mind
every ledge
every crevice
every crack
in my head
Continue reading yesterday
Touching
Not touching
the skin
but touching
the heart
what lies inside
what hides in the dark Continue reading Touching
Roundabout
My world
flipped upside down
When you
turned me inside out
Your lies
gave me the roundabout
Time flies
when you’re having doubts
Continue reading Roundabout
Astray
Daydreams
Sipping java
Slipping by
Not so much gone astray
As gone awry Continue reading Astray
Iron
Don’t text Don’t talk Don’t take the next turn Through the iron gate Down the ravine Beyond the pale All because you couldn’t wait Had to say had to state One last text One button Too late Gone Continue reading Iron
