Solvent treasure.
What we measure, Alive with pleasure, Seems to keep us, Hug and squeeze us. For all we know, The cautious throw To windward bait. Can’t replicate Time spent learning Knowledge yearning. Questions beckon. Today we reconcile The lost control. It’s been awhile, But trading upward. Now, away We go on updates. Every day Search for better. Happy never, And yet there’s more. What’s the score Tween rash and reason? Tis the season To be thankful. So grab a hank full, But count each strand. They make a band Of stronger cable. And if we’re able To accept our purpose, Tomorrow Won’t hurt us Incubate- the initial feeling
Resuscitate- thoughts diminished Demonstrate- how you are able Ovulate- the concept willing Fertilize with action calling Tenderize when doubts keep falling Exorcise double-talk that stutters Galvanize your will from others Skate on smooth glass Falling forward come to pass Tiny vials crack in flame No more play the waiting game Onward, upward through the clouds Past the tiny nightmare shrouds All you want is all you’ll keep Breathing shallow in the deep Mind your manners Keep your place Tiny hammers Sting your face Don’t flinch or wince Whence troubles fly Present tense Your alibi From the network Mark the wheel Dance the drive by Curb appeal Chalk the tire Parked too long Stoke the fire That makes you strong 10/27/20 Free suspension
Slow ascension Ever slightly Honor brightly Drifting slowly Sensing wholly Quiet comfort Nature concert Buoyant balance Branches valance Conflicts waving Slow exhaling Brighter locus Inner focus Ever after Comfort laughter Fears transgressing Father’s blessing Taller purpose Mighty circus Falling forward Moving onward Always lonely Wolf that only Knows the feeling Layers peeling To the heart The only part Worth caring When also pairing With the open mind Path and purpose Become defined 11/9/20 Take Aim
No claim to fame. Nothing large and lame, Nor regretful shame. Eyes bright and clear. Still sight and hear The low rumble, my dear, Of the anxious, unknown fear. Mistakes still made. Miscalculations I’ve paid. But lasting satisfaction I crave From unsure actions that wave And tempt to risk the Inner seal I’ve saved. Clouds drift northward And I am fine As darkness fades From the path I unwind 11/6/22 Junior varsity
Clear viscosity David Cassidy Teen Beat sagacity Let’s begin. Through thick and thin, I for one Feel the thrum. Carve the memories. Coil the misdeeds. Tuck them under The couch cushion seeds. The quiet days Pull down like shades When I recall The glint of rays On wheat fields and hay. The open air With mocking birds Now mum for words. I cannot hear, though The vision clear. A thick drooping bough Hanging then to now. 2/3/23 Call collect
Genuflect Bow your head What’s been said What’s been served Spun and swerved Into the curve Skin of the skid Wish I did Know what you hid Beneath the surface Of your moods Thoughts for food That rumble down Lost and found When what You want from me My apology 1/24/23 Visualize
Materialize Orphaned moments In your eyes Follow through This petting zoo Quarter handfuls Offer you Exonerate What’s on your plate Runny juices Hesitate Emancipate Resuscitate Half baked notions Out the gate Wreck your day Temples gray Fancy footwork Here to stay Wallow sparrow Swallow arrow Dipped in glamour Syrup Caro Now so sudden Tankers laden Nilla puddin Silver maiden 1/5/21 Our best wishes
When we break dishes- That you’ll be happy Though we’re still crappy. That you’ll boo Our trip for two We won at raffle. Don't you feel awful? Well, cheer up, Charlie. You’ve got Bob Marley While we got Yoko. Enjoy your laughing While we’re mooncalfing Then throw a party To make us tardy. Our flight leaves early. Your comments surly. We’ll take our medicine. It’s better than anything. You won’t be there. And we won't care How you’re doing, Or who you’re screwing. Time is money. There, there now, honey. When days unites us With hepatitis, We’ll share our stories Of former glories. Hangover nursin As we're the same person. 9/27/20 Hydrophonic
Enharmonic Sequence savvy Quick, laconic Well, what have you Giveth unto Tantric tantrums, Fits in fathoms. The clock abides us. Time entwines us. Winds the wheel And leaves behind us. My, you look nice. For once, I think twice, While juggling the atoms And warming the dice. Trivializing the landscape. Peeling the blood grape. Laughing at willing dumb apes, Banded together with duct tape. Winter so clear and so cozy. Loving your cheeks red and rosy. Wondering if Dominador knows he Left and forgot about Josie. 1/20/21 Whence withholding
Night needs folding Midday limbo Morn akimbo Birds tuck away Crow and jay Dark and quiet Unlike the riot They do enjoy Then song starts Finch know their parts And feathered otherlings Hop and flit their tufted wings Tiny morsels steaming From early sun beaming And heat’s on simmer Not think of dinner Or noon’s arrival Just shrub seed rivals And easy breeze My heart does squeeze At day’s promise As one by one We nod to the sun And wave its’ journey While it’s still early 1/17/21 Iron Oxide
Child war bride Hands of labor Work from all sides View encompass Wide and wondrous Dig and toil Mountain soil Holy hopeful Tight back strain Grinding gasping Worn hands clasping Claw the earth Lay the seed Churn with spittle All you knead Through the surface Hopeful prayer Hopeful purpose Scents the air Lavoro Con la conga Sulla testa O non si mangia per la festa Scarf headed Bundled apron Il vestito In finestra Il Sole in your eyes Warms the wife In your sighs A widowed wise life 5/8/22 Once we find it,
Then rewind it Near beginning, Feckless winning. When we wallow, Suck and swallow, Cough and hack, Get off track. Go on, revisit. Not better, is it? Better seems From endless dreams. Dreams aren’t real Or close the deal. Make peace with choices. Hush those voices That change the scene From orange to tangerine, Matter of degrees. Even after the squeeze, The juice still sweet And stingy, Tangy tingly. But cures your thirst? Squelch outburst Of drama nothing. Now relax and sip. Let the faucet drip. 4/12/22 |
