Poem: A Fall Day Precipitating Leaving

blooms are cyclical
beautiful temporary
in patience returns

Poem: An Aside of a Falling Star

oh to be a shooting star in her sky
streaking across the dark tapestry
illuminating the heavens
even as I am falling

Poem: Little Lies

Lena speaks the unreal
In her riddles that I
Take literally in trust
To believe in her that
Love leads not to betrayal

Poem: Heartfelt

Here in the dawning morning
Early rises my beating heart
Arriving on sweet robin’s song
Ready to carry on fluttering wing
Towards Cupid’s loving embrace

Poem: Phoenix of the Blue Sea

Her eyes are so familiar
Blue like the infinite ocean

His smile is so familiar
Like the warmth of the Spanish sun

In each others arms memories
Weave across time to the present

Poem: Sparing

In the spirit of competition
I sharpen my blade to razor edge
Leaving no question that no quarter
Will be offered for the sake of friends

Poem: Expedition

maps gathered
ready to explore
down the roads
not traveled
to find new destinations
and new adventures

Poem: Summer Mistakes Yet to Bloom

It was a warm summer night
You were there in full bloom
Under the high full moon
Telling me to come inside
Because your daddy wasn’t home

Poem: Streams Streaming

Cool water streams through her fingers
as she lies next to the stream babbling
as a stream of consciousness comes
streaming from her lips as she wonders

Poem: Melpomene Muse of Tragedy

When the sun of my life was shining
The ink on my quill was bone dry
The words on paper had vanished
Under a tongue wet with drink
Flowing with boisterous laughter
Fates must have known I strayed
