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

I danced for him and won his heart;
He said it was the fire in my eyes, the wit in my laugh,
But when he held me against him, I knew he loved my beauty most.
It is a small thing, a sad thing, to be loved . . . more

I know what I want to say here, but I'm not sure I make my point. Still, I think there is some value here.
To my wife of 43 years.
She was a city girl and I a small town boy. . . . more

The glow of haiku:
Peace in shades of blue and green,
Cool lotus, deep trees.
My words are spice-bright, burning
Cinnamon, clove and saffron.

The Final Thrust
It was no little thing. I tell you, sir--
The lie he gave me in my very throat,
And that with Arabella by my side;
She caught her breath and pressed my trembling hand.
No little . . . more

Please Find Enclosed
Call it a chest or a cube, a puzzle box or a die cast.
I don't know. It has no head or tail,
This hard, bright menagerie that turns one face as squarely as the next. . . . more

Autumn Struggles in Gorgas Park
Here on this spit of ground
Above a lake of tarnished rooftops,
Antenna eddies and shoals of satellite dishes,
The earth scatters its harmony of green. . . . more

Mud sucking up, following my footprints.
Oh no
Not mud.....

I've been palying around with sonnets the last few months. Here is an early one.
One thing I fear in all the earth.
It is not death, I dread not grave or ground,
My trust . . . more

When I have left this earth
I think my neighbors might say
Sure she was a democrat
But we liked her anyway
Despite that time she put
Kerry/Edwards signs all over her lawn
If you . . . more

It made the papers, you know.
Air Force Colonel struck low by lust,
And me, his accuser.
He told me he loved me,
Elf-skinny, hair in a bob, freckled,
Worthy of love, at seven.
I believed, as did . . . more

You haunt me
I loosen my bearings
Day becomes night
I take The Trane to another place
Cool breezes surround me
I see a ray of hope in front of me
There is attraction in this place
The whimsical . . . more

Love is the way you hold me
Love is the way you need me
Love is the way you want me
Love is every sweet word you say.
Love is the way you tell me you love me.
Love is a . . . more

My bones are shells, my flesh hangs soft,
family treats me like delicate china;
well,
my head does look like an egg in a cup.
I still tend my garden.
Butterflies weave among spires of delphinium,

Taylor and Simon, What can I say?
Timing is bad
I saw your display
Invasion, Amazing
I saw you
Things about you take my breathe away
Fractaled Fuzzy Chaos
A beautiful persona, an enigma . . . more
