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. Onward, upward through the clouds, Past the tiny nightmare shrouds. All you want is all you’ll keep Breathing shallow in the deep. Skate on smooth glass, When Winters come to pass. Tiny vials crack in flame. No more play the waiting game. Mind your manners. Keep your place. Tiny hammers Sting your face. Don’t flinch or wince, When 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 with pairing An open mind Path and purpose Become defined. 11/9/20 Take Aim.
No claim to fame. Nothing large or too lame, Nor regretful shame. Eyes bright and clear. Still sight and hear The low rumble, my dear, Of an anxious, unknown fear. Mistakes will be made. Miscalculations I’ve weighed. But lasting satisfaction I crave From unsure actions that wave And tempt to risk the Inner seal I’ve saved. Time to be brave Time to move forward. Clouds drifting northward And I am fine, As shadows fade From the path I unwind 11/6/22 Junior varsity
Cloying 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 array With mocking birds Now mum for words I cannot hear, though The vision clear. A thick drooping bough Hangs 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 that I did Know what you hid Beneath the surface Of your moods Thoughts for food That rumble down Lost and found Look around Look within See yourself Another sin. What you want What you need To come from me To bend the knee One, two, three 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 While we feel 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've got Yoko. Enjoy a laugh At another gaff. Then throw a party So we'll be 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 Slow, laconic. Well, what have you Given unto? Tantric tantrums, Fits in fathoms? The clock abides us. Time entwines us. Winds the wheel Laughs behind us. You're looking so nice. For once, I think twice, While juggling the atoms And warming the dice. Trivializing the landscape. Peeling the blood grape. Laughing, mooncalfing, This planet of duct apes, So happy and cozy. Our cheeks red and rosy. Why do you suppose we Fill our pockets with posies? 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 a song starts. Finch know their parts, While feathered otherlings Hop and flit their tufted wings. Stem and soil steaming In early sun beaming. The heat’s still on simmer. Not yet think of dinner Or noon’s bright arrival, Just shrub seed rivals And an easy breeze. My heart this does squeeze At the day’s promise. One by one, We nod to the sun And mark its’ journey While the day'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 rain Tight back strain Grasping, 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. Abruzzi sun In your eyes Warms the strife In your sighs. The valley will never Hear your cries. 5/8/22 Once you find it,
Then rewind it Towards the beginning, Of feckless winning. When you 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. For your next meal, Make peace with choices. Hush those voices That change the scene From orange to tangerine. In matter of degrees, Give a squeeze. The juice, though sweet, Brings an uneasy, Prickly treat. But cures your thirst? Squelch the outburst Of drama nothing. Now relax and sip. Let the faucet drip. 4/12/22 |
