I have complaints,
with my heart
you wish
which is apart?
A pain echoes nearby
a thought that beats
a set of floating desires
always ruling me
You are innocent, I know
I am alone, you . . . more

As death ebony face.
My eyes, like a camera
zooming in on . . . more

Jazzing along with abundant essays
Decorating mountain of books
I promised to sway
Determined . . . more

Cupid armed with bow and arrows
Smiles impishly in February sessions
Pierces hearts for tomorrows
He aims desires and obsessions
Smiles impishly in February . . . more

At this moment, I yearn to be close. Closer than a touch. I want to be inside you.
You can be in me, part of me. You can touch me inside and leave a measure of yourself. . . . more

I yearn for the pre-dawn, this steamy night; I yearn for the hush, that momentary moment of quiet between gray-scale and the rosy fingers of dawn, slipping over the horizon.
The chickadee chirps his mating . . . more

Sit, stand or walk—I wait.
On the shore, I peer out over gray seas, squinting.
Does he return today? Will he come as the sun fades? Does he return with the day’s new light?
I wait. . . . more

I didn't think I wanted you
Didn't think I needed to
What makes me hold back,
What makes me afraid--
I might fall for you--
And then what would I do,
If one day . . . more

A muse
Eyes a light
Laugh and I will laugh too
Cry and I will pour my secrets
Like I pour wine into your empty glass
While you make lies a wish I write
Lines a memory scratched . . . more

WRITTEN THE NIGHT OF A LUNAR ECLIPSE
The moon this night
Our earth shall pass.
Clear skies will yield
To darkened grass.

Dawn bells ringing
Forming lines making minds
All stand alike from short to tall
Pledge, learn, list, look out windows Saturdays
Castles built in recesses lost
To bells commanding . . . more

Blue, bright, a baby blue,
Is a boy dressed in sailor blues;
The word pops from the mouth, like blowing raspberries;
Blue, is a baby boy
Whom we chuck under the chin
To make him laugh;
Pink, like cotton . . . more

Two wide
This bed of mine
Half empty without you
Warm side, my side, cold side, your side
Can I forgive you leaving me alone?
Strong one, mine was, weak one, yours . . . more

Fecundity passes; I watch rosy youth bust out, looking for sensual healing; youths laugh, lean into one another and tilt their heads, just so - they hold hands, they're in their salad days, callow, . . . more

My blank canvas
Exquisite paints yawning nearby
and the breadth of my soul
seeking in its depth
Why there is no portrait, No landscapes
No saga, today
dancing silvery images . . . more

The tiny rainbow arched
Just beyond my reach.
Both ends touched
My backyard.
No pots of gold, . . . more

Fingers fidget
Up and down, walk around
Sit and stare while click-clack keys write
Rubbish

weaving lines
