The Gift
Standing silent
The earliest – 1670
The latest still Fresh not yet
Disturbed by
The settling of time
Family plots carefully
Tended crowding
The solitary stone
Inscribed – “Unknown” Circa 1900
Early evening
Land breeze bends
Each grass blade, S
entinels thousands
Guarding singular
Tombs
Spring blossoms pushing
Through the same
Soil shared by
Louisa M. Shorter 1857-1950,
Rebirth As tree buds prepare
To explode into
A cacophony Of colors –
Red, yellow, the
White Dogwood
Soon to bark
A tree In place,
Planted
On the occasion
Of her passing
Now her favorite
Companion who
Each day a gift B
rings renewal
A butterfly alights
On my diet coke, it
Pauses and speaks
Well of hope – life S
pring dances with
Hundred forgotten Headstones?
Not Really… a Cardinal
Comes to visit and
The brown of winter’s
Remorse gives way
To the enveloping green
Of a new season

Eyes
If only I could see,
The world that lies behind your eyes
Then I could see who broke your heart
Whose the one you mourn and shed a
Trail of tears in lif¦
If only I could see,
The world that lies behind your eyes
I could kiss away the sorrow that's keeping
You awake at night?
Sheltering you out of the twilight of my
Dreams, forbidding your
Mind and spirit to merge and
Dream with mine¦.
If only I could see,
The world that lies behind your eyes
I could be there with you through the blissful times
Thunderstorms and kiss your blues away,
You're all I think and dream of,
every minute of The day every step
I take,
I can't perform at work
Loneliness seems to be my only friend but there's one good thought,
You're always on my mind as
I Imagine myself in your arms and in
These eyes¦
If only I could see,
The world that lies behind your eyes
I drink your tears and heal your heart with every kiss
Your heart would surrender, your fingers will Long to trace my lips, hands will yearn to
Caress my silky skin and trace my every curve As your lips shiver to taste me,
Submission
Petals of my essence danced
In your soul¦
If only I could see,
The world that lies behind your eyes
I'm not afraid of the darkness
I may find inside Your heart I'll take your sorrows, your woe
Shield you from lifes disappointments and pain And gladly give my life for you
If only I could see¦.myself in
These eyes

A soft rain
A soft rain,
On a warm morning,
During a walk
On the beaches
Of my mind,
Is an invitation
To refine those
Memories
That have faded since
Childhood.
Is it the falling of the
Drops through the leaves
That we hear? or
Is that the movement of
Peals of water rolling over the
Once dry creek bed?
I have thrown aside
My umbrella…
A quiet that is only
Broken by the swish
Of car tires as they
Breathlessly swirl by,
Rain flattens my
Hair, running rivulets
Of nature’s tears over
My unshaven face.
My dogs prance the
Prance with what we foolishly
Call a smile on their faces.
That is obviously just
Contentment!
The rain is irrelevant
To them, silly!
Yet not to me
As I recapture
The joy of catching
Droplets on a tongue
Stuck out in
Defiance of growing old,
I care not,
I am wearing flip flops,
I walk the sand of beaches
Long washed away
My t-shirt sticks
To my chest.

Eat a peach
Soft fuzz
Tickles the nose
Delicate crease
Tongue caress
Juice sweetest
After passion spent
Eat a peach
Her wound divine
Desire
Fruit of mine

Oreos
To delve
To lick
To douse in creamy environs
To kiss your wound
Oreos
The taste
Of sweetness
Womanhood
To feel
The creaminess
Of
Your wound excited
To attend
To your needs
To be
My dessert

Morning
Days inception
Coffee
Hot, smooth
French pressed
Breaking sun
Sleep filled eyes
Slight stumble
On deck
Approaching rail
Morning sun
Filtering soft chemise
Each curve
Shadow seen
Bed hair
Tussled
Wantonly, begging
My fingers to touch
Turning
Slight smile
Asking
Where’s the coffee?
I fetch
Willingly

Interesting conundrum
Describing perfection
Personified
In you
Apple white skin
Blemish free
Yet fresh
As from the tree
Eyes inquisitive
Clarity spoken
Coffee alert
Soulful understanding
Lips full
Jellybean sweet
Broadened smile
Knowingly
Hands Alabaster,
Finely Chiseled
Piano Elegant.
Softly beckoning.
Pretty not beautiful
Athletic not an Olympian
Famous but not a celebrity,
Smart but not a rocket scientist
Walls erected
Feelings protected
Silent screams
Love me, take me
Heart strength
Nurture complete
Happy but not euphoric
Loves abound
Most important
My Friend
A lover of life
Who captures
My mind
