In Each Moment
~~~~~ Wrote these words To pen a thought about a time now unknown, far in the past or the future. I struggled when I found the past too obscure, the future becoming now in each moment that passes. Might as well try reading braille. The more that I thought the […]
None May Know
~~~~~ Imagine, how do we tell our own love story? Do we believe love exists in a state of grace? Fear it will be a stroll along life’s razor edge, Plunge into the deep, head first, eyes closed. Do we make our dive unsure if we can swim? Will love’s buoyancy help float us on […]
Healing?
~~~~~ What would we ask for, If there were only one thing? Would we walk along Streets and lanes, searching Wondering what could be The right choice, the easy answer, Not only for you, But also for me? Perhaps, we are seeking Is not something we can have, a fortune, Talent, great wisdom, immortality, But […]
Wag Chins, Flap Gums
~~~~~ Well, they all do make really valid points, Though their topic of discussion is unclear. If we all sit down and smoke several joints; We will then believe we’ve nothing to fear. How do we deal with overdose information, Religion, drugs, sex, TV, or move a mouse? Whatever, we succumb, labor or recreation, King, […]

Quirks Work
~~~~~ Writing in the first person, how can I be I sure I am writing as me? Even if I think I describe true events, what in my mind’s eye I see. Can I recount truthfully pictures I find lurking in my own memory, Directly, I start to reinvent, interpret, reconceive who I was, will […]
A Pleasant Meander
~~~~~ While on a recent idyll, a most pleasant meander, I stopped a while to chat with a fiery salamander. He dimmed his flames, we talked of rain and wind And all the little embers his sisters meant to send. He sent me then down the path to see a mighty oak, Said she was […]
In Time
~~~~~ Watching any two people, like you, uncertain and alone, As they meet upon your street, to stroll along and converse. In time, they court, the formal dance, they smile and sigh, Till laughing, flushed, happy and out of breath, they sit. Talking heart-to-heart leads to dialogue, to harmony, to love, Opening, joining, sharing fear, […]
What If?
~~~~~ What if you could create anything, paint like the greatest artist ever seen, Da Vinci, Rembrandt, Gentileschi, Rousseau, Magritte, Cassatt, Ditko, Kane? No doubt, I haven’t named your favorite, your one and only most fine. The list is so long, I could fill up every notebook that I have ever owned. Then I could […]
