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

It's depth is profound
The household is sleeping
No one is around
My thoughts take to wandering
Straying often back to . . .

"Beached"
What possess one with your capacity to become beached;
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. . . .

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; . . .

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

Love and Compassion
Hopes and Dreams
Kindness and generosity
What does it all mean?
Words are just words
And don't mean a thing
To someone who's hurt . . .

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.

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.
Only I thought that just three lines might be kind of cheap . . .

FLOW
eternal bridging
cleansing the past in ripples
forgetting time
wandering with a purpose
always moving forward

Deep within the sordid crevace of soul
a pool, stagnant and odious, covered with
shames crust and lies, holds remants of
loves and lusts deceits. Enshrined in tomb of
numbing calm, denied . . .

Once you've stepped out into the world with shaky feet,
tasted blood from wounds you have licked,
time, with her cold groping fingers, can't take away the imprint of memories. . . .

That first kiss that I ever did steal
(though not entirely against his will)
Under a big Georgia moon rising like cream
In a black bear sky straight from a dream
My heart . . .

Lying half awake at 1 a.m.
Listening to Circles in the Sand
Thoughts of you drift by
My sleepy mind's eye.
And even though we were never there together
I see us side . . .

regardless of who made them wrong
I resolve to laugh and be light
always singing a joyful song
I resolve to find someone . . .

It wasn't in my head
To change your life, or mine
For that matter
With that first kiss
That "tore you out of the frame"
Pressed its red hot brand

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, . . .
