Poem: Seven Blessings

We have been blessed with a family
That has lifted us up so high
Giving us a chance taste sweet waters
Of victory from those who came before

Wrap me up in tinsel
Pour me another drink
So when you unwind me
The world will spin when I spin

Poem: Ill Fitting

She wears shoes that fit
Like she does in her life
Ill fitting hard and rigid
That she contorts herself
To fit in conforming

Time is like the slide
we climbed on the old playground
from the top the bottom seemed
far away

Poem: Ruby Red Lips

ruby red lips
full of vitality
a pained reminder
of the ravages
age upon body

Poem: Stones Throw

The stone skips smoothly
Across the waters surface
Sending out ripple after ripple
From each place it kissed

Poem: Number Ones

I can feel you watching me with private eyes
Wanting to take me up where we belong
Where all night long we can share in love

We built this city of passion between us
Amanda and I don’t ever want to leave

Poem: Sweet Harvest

They say apples hold magic
A hidden star at its core
I never believed in mysticism
Yet you with juice on your chin
Has me absolutely entranced

we stand on empty streets
quiet except for the aimless
which we count ourselves among

casting shadows that are lighter
than their midday counterparts
cast by the heat of the sun burning
into harsh shapes clearly defined
versus the cool soft shadows
of high moon in the evening
