How I wish the rain
would wash away the
sorrow in my mind,
strip me clean,
leave nothing left behind,
dissolve me of my fears,
mingle with my tears-
how I wish the rain.
How I wish the rain
would cover up the
sun and all my light,
erase the shadows
dancing through my night,
branches on the wall,
silhouettes that fall-
how I wish the rain.
How I wish the [...]

Break

Paste that grin
Tow the line
Another day to spend
Play your part
Price be damned
All common need transcend
Countless ills
Of this life
Don’t bother you- pretend
Resonate
Cultivate
The choice, to break or bend
Keep it cool
For today
Your private hell-descend
Hold your breath
Take the plunge
Humanity suspend
Sink or swim
Count the cost
You’re still dead in the end.
Acapella Heart

I love you,
and I always will…
it is simply that-
the force that lies unyielding,
driven deep and singing thru
one a capella heart-
blending notes and harmonies
from threads of light
remembered as they shine.
All stems from this…
the waiting time that
stretches on before me,
the present, wafting scent
of night-bloom phlox,
it teasing on the cool
breath of the night…
blooming sweet
against a throat
that arches invitation

Joined In the Dance

Under the arms of ancient elm and oak
each reverent dancer delicately toed,
a’twirling in the verdant, twilight lush
beneath a canopy of green and gold.
The Lady, shining fair in gilded dress
extends her hand, a welcoming to spring.
Her lord accepts, virility abounds;
he joins her in each elemental dance.
Their fingers twined, eyes fixed, around they go,
a whirl of hours, [...]
Wreck at Penmon Point

Distant calls the evening bell
faint upon the boson’s ear.
Swallowed by the rising wind,
stars to neither guide nor steer.
Lashing waves against the prow
threatening to take the ship.
Eyes still strain relentlessly,
seeking land through swell and dip.
Meaningless, the compass rose,
direction without bearing.
Reconciling death and sin
with frantic oaths and swearing.
Is it brutal rock on wood
or the scrap of grief [...]
