The world twirls
A juggler's trick
A plate on a stick
While we balance
Lives, love, laughter
On the brim
Music, art, poems
On a whim
Hold on
Hold tight
Enjoy the ride

Envelop me with your arms
Warm me with your body heat
Protect me
Love me
Need me
Desire me
Lust for me

And let me go
When my day is over
And I will wait for you
Among the . . . more

Allowing your life to suffocate by choosing to be leached?

Wind-swept,
My life has been
Stormy seas and leaf-dance,
Cast adrift on careless currents,
Random.
Two steps
Forward or back,
And sometimes side to side,
No path ahead, no safe harbor,
Life's wile. . . . more

We hit the ground running
So fast, that before we realized it
We were flying.
The way each curve fit
Into the other, and the extra arms
Made it easy.

I know you have felt it
the surge in your inner core
when sensors in the soul
ignite with numinous energy
vibrant
when something like
rich liquid life flows through your being

Natural Life
She said, I love you dearly,
I replied, You're the best in the land,
She told me we ought to be married,
and then she took me by the hand!
We sashayed into the village; . . . more

How I Broke My Eyeglasses: The Poem
I walked into a door and broke my eyeglasses.
Then I wrote a poem about it.
This is that poem.

cleansing the past in ripples
forgetting time
wandering with a purpose

Deep within the sordid crevace of soul
a pool, stagnant and odious, covered with

I'm not sleeping,
I'm saving blinks
while I visit that place
where I goes and thinks,
no travel time, nor ticket fare
just slow the blinking

I saw the wind in your eyes
And you saw me see it
So you looked away.
Now I wonder where you've drifted to,
Like a yellow leaf with brown edges
Ever falling.

The way the trees were so thick they hid the sky
And our hearts beat hard there in the midst of . . . more

What gift is this
unopened, untempting?
Quick shake reveals
no inquiry response,
dull rattle, stryo-peanut shell.
What gift is this
so plainly unadorned
yet scorned, . . . more

To feel your loving presence here
Smiling, I bask in the memory
Which time serves to make more clear.

Eerily, threads entwine my thoughts,
waiving reason's stolid facts, uncovering
some little known, yet somehow misleading
tidbit of uncertainty. Shadows on the grave
of blind belief, . . . more
