When I Think of That One

When I think of that one, The true love that never was I think of myself Coming to rest in a twisted, drying weed, A wing-seed falling in fallow. Yet, a mere fifty paces Yields rich, sleeping loam. Who should release it and deliver - Give it push and watery aid? Who should defy fate. Yet, who's to... Sign in to see full entry.

A Passing Parade of Splendor

A passing parade of splendor, First muddled green, Then chameleon upon chameleon, Blunted by the sky Churned as lobsters potted. Like us, once casual like children, Now in our grand passage, Today the silk tie, Tomorrow the hair tint - Hours preening for the true look, The one flash to make our... Sign in to see full entry.

The Others

Walls of artist's palette So fiercely shook by northern gust _ Forbode to some But transfer others. You, dear guy, for one are some _ I, for one am both. But others, they are others. So, the wind comes, Inviting brush to the cooler tray, And destroy some, But transfers others. A framework left,... Sign in to see full entry.

Ebb

My love and I walk the shore And know beneath sweats and hoods The cool wintry nip of the autumn sea-breeze. And his hand is clasped in mine, Five fingers sewn to five fingers Measures of the intimate world beneath the dunes, Beneath the hollow moments when sweats and hoods are shod, And finger rove...

Remember the Cool, Green Days

Remember the cool, green day When the sun came brief between the twig; The bower was darked by rain; Yet, the daisies dotted the borderline; The brook ran full _ The vines entwined the elm's heart _ Tranquil spirits came and went; Fears were dead _ Love thrived; And in mundane dew, dripped smoke....

Pas de Deux

Two birds in the woodland, Dance in the air a pas de deux And sing a duetto d'amore Between the baring boughs. Comes a crackling under foot, A couple, we, men wrapped in each other's arms, And in a sudden clasp of passion, We let the trees supply the bed of nature. No autumn chill, Inner warmth...

Cloak

A million times this oak has stripped To the same unbidden wind; Yet, when the blast comes, I cloak up. The wind is very trying, Succeeding now where once it failed. The wind is success And I cloak up a million times. Come experience The Jade Owl Sign in to see full entry.

Transformation

Things change, Shaped by the changeless force. Subdue this thought And a simple moment quests; A swirl of dust in sunlight Or the face of a wind carved mount Remits this thought subdued. In your toughening skin, And your infrequent erection, We know that time is quietly seeking a home. In my... Sign in to see full entry.

I Leave your Bed in Sadness

I leave your bed in sadness, Not for the want of your bed, But for my need to leave. The lane is still, Save a baby's cry. Grey mists mourn the night's passing. Wet leaves in the gutter Testify to the dew. No claim here beyond the common, but my sigh and longing for your heart. The streetlight... Sign in to see full entry.

Gossamer

A leaf caught in a spider's web Soon rusts with milky net. Cormorants are taught to fish But, starve for the want of their catch. I, for one, am steadfast in love, Yet, starve for want of a catch! While soon, like the grey leaf, Bitterly weigh down the web. The spider has moved away For grey-leaves... Sign in to see full entry.
