Unsettled

Sunshine, snow and rain; Each marked the first hour of my day And I do not know what to wear. Hailstones, wind and sun again From skies blended from blue and grey As if the heavens no longer care To pick one style or hue. Sunshine, rain and then more snow; If the weather won’t make up its mind And... Sign in to see full entry.

Idle Rhyme

Shoulder to the wheel just gives me back ache, The grindstone is no place to put a nose, There is more to life than how much I make And I may not be what you suppose. I would rather watch the garden growing Than spend eight hours staring at a screen And reach life’s destination all unknowing What... Sign in to see full entry.

To Live

Drink deeply from life’s cup, Live brightly and loudly, Without distaining to sup Absurdly or rowdily With those different from you. Find wonder, find joy In things familiar and new, Create, change and destroy To make great things From the ordinary’s shattered parts. Enjoy everything life brings,... Sign in to see full entry.

Singing

I sing a little bit of nonsense, A riddle draped in rhyme That capers to a merry tune And tempts the mind to dance That merriment may commence To liven the day and speed old Time, To make late transform to soon And mundane to romance: I sing an idle rhyme or two While I wait to dance with you.

She Calls

She calls me, Weaving my name in morphine songs To pull me into her dark embrace And ease my troubled eyes. She calls me, Her voice an echo of peace that longs To guide me to that gentle grace And sooth my stubborn sighs. She calls me To a place my mind belongs, Where it can relax without trace Of...

Wake Me

Wake me with the song of you, The notes of mind and heart That make you thrum and thrive Where another might fade away. Play for me a song that’s true, A melody to help me start Remembering that I’m alive And greeting another gorgeous day. Sign in to see full entry.

A Gathering

They gathered, with sombre mien And funereal chic, To share whispers of the past And somebody who made them great. They gathered where a smile had been As if, bereft, they could seek One moment after the last In a defiance of unwanted fate. They gathered, trying not to cry, To offer a final goodbye.

A Bar Room Romance

She made eddies in the bar room With her sharp speakeasy style And dark velvet laughter. Drunk on her own wit, Her voice was a perfume To challenge or beguile, To flay and then after Think no more of it. He made shadows in the corners With the little noticed air Of a panther on the prowl: Redolent... Sign in to see full entry.

I Smile

Words, like sparrows, flit and flutter Around the chimneys of my mind While, pen in hand, I slur and stutter Trying desperately to find The word, the rhyme, the verse or line, Hidden in morning’s mental mists, To say that even if you are not mine I smile to know that you exist.

In The Sun

Sunlight kisses heavy lids, Inviting soft slumber to play The sweet song that duty forbids, That sensual anthem of a day Spent sleeping in the sun While sweet breezes caress my brow, A day when no work is done And later's abandoned for now. As duty issues stern commands For the many things that must... Sign in to see full entry.
