Mirror
You hang there on the wall
casting reflecting images
as people move about
capturing briefly faces
How many have you seen?
what secrets could you tell?
mysterious, you keep them
forever held within your glass
Young and old also in between
they have all gazed into you
each with their own hopes,
dreams and aspirations
You hold all of these within
an odd glimpse sometimes seen
when deep into you a gaze lingers
catching a brief glimpse of ?

Post CommentBeing
Being, existing, living
all that entails
a cloud exists
as it floats by
Until it burns up
in the sun's rays
rain falling softly
sustaining life
Moon gives her own
by nightlight
secretive creatures
do exist in her light
Being is, to experience
all life has to offer
so many wondrous things
We Exist, We Are, We Live and Enjoy
all that entails
a cloud exists
as it floats by
Until it burns up
in the sun's rays
rain falling softly
sustaining life
Moon gives her own
by nightlight
secretive creatures
do exist in her light
Being is, to experience
all life has to offer
so many wondrous things
We Exist, We Are, We Live and Enjoy

Post CommentRoses
Roses you astound me with beauty
as I smell your wondrous scents
I stare at you blankly
thinking of past events
A rose you gave me
to mark special times
I think back dreamy
Life seems to rhyme
So many special memories
each one so poignant
full of life's bounties
each one so fervent
as I smell your wondrous scents
I stare at you blankly
thinking of past events
A rose you gave me
to mark special times
I think back dreamy
Life seems to rhyme
So many special memories
each one so poignant
full of life's bounties
each one so fervent

About this poem:
in appreciation of his painting Roses by George Dunlop Leslie
Savannah Cafe
Voices mingle with the scuffle of shoes clicking,
and doors slamming shut.
The smell of coffee and cinnamon buns permeates
the air...
Movement...sound...senses rage in overdrive,
and yet still.
Questions of whether the coffee is actually tea,
or are these simply pancakes...just not so flat?
I recognize some of the faces from long ago,
especially the man in the glass.
He stares into my eyes without notice,
melancholy and mystery hovering close by...
It is his frozen voice that I mimic from time to time.
Standing to shuffle my way to the door and you
are here too, in the corner alone..
I had hoped you'd never find me here...
Slicing through plumes of blue smoke,
Your eyes invite me to sit with you.
I am near you now... settled in this booth,
and not alone.
Gregory

After the storm eased slowly
Big waves smashed against the shore
Causing havoc every where
Drinking more than he should
Eating until stuffed
Feet sliding every where
Grabbing at straws
He caught on to what he could
Into the sea he waded
Jigging about he got soaked
Keeping to his feet only just
Looking every where
Masts in the distance
Nothing else out there
Or not that he could see
Perhaps a castle far away
Queen could be dining
Royal banners flapping
Swimming towards it
Took a long time
Under the spell
Victory not clear
Washed up on the shore
Xebec sailing past
Yacht moored near by
Zanzibar in the distance
Big waves smashed against the shore
Causing havoc every where
Drinking more than he should
Eating until stuffed
Feet sliding every where
Grabbing at straws
He caught on to what he could
Into the sea he waded
Jigging about he got soaked
Keeping to his feet only just
Looking every where
Masts in the distance
Nothing else out there
Or not that he could see
Perhaps a castle far away
Queen could be dining
Royal banners flapping
Swimming towards it
Took a long time
Under the spell
Victory not clear
Washed up on the shore
Xebec sailing past
Yacht moored near by
Zanzibar in the distance

the mateting game
What a joke this game we play with its shades of gray. We piss and moan,wine and cry wishing some day to dine. Dissapointment is the game,attacking those with no name. Breaking hearts the bid,winner will always dread. Only loosers stay unscaved,so hippity hop and play if you dare but fake hearts do not care.

About this poem:
internet dateing, is it a game to most?
A Cow Horse
A Horse most wonderful as a being,
A sight they are just for the seeing.
Perfume are they in sweaty foam,
Hot horse reminds me of my home.
Where hours in saddle though pleasure spent,
You ride your horse with work intent.
A good horse is a willing soul,
For him or her their job is whole.
But no gentile mount on which to rest,
If your not ready resolve will test.
Cross ways round sun fishing too.
When your not ready the end of you.
But while still in saddle upon the beast,
The thought of losing seat is least.
Then hard impact upon the ground,
Humility you've finally found.
A sight they are just for the seeing.
Perfume are they in sweaty foam,
Hot horse reminds me of my home.
Where hours in saddle though pleasure spent,
You ride your horse with work intent.
A good horse is a willing soul,
For him or her their job is whole.
But no gentile mount on which to rest,
If your not ready resolve will test.
Cross ways round sun fishing too.
When your not ready the end of you.
But while still in saddle upon the beast,
The thought of losing seat is least.
Then hard impact upon the ground,
Humility you've finally found.

About this poem:
I wrote this just after the last time I was pitched off of a big "Bay Mare" in January of this yearSight
To be able to see is great
I would not like no sight
to be unable to see
I can't imagine anything worse
Not to see the various seasons
each with its own beauty
only to feel the sunbeams
would be to miss the rays
To watch them as they dance
as they high light a shape
to watch the moon at night
silvery radiance cloaking earth
No I would not like no sight
for then I could not read
think of it, no poems or books
life would be utterly dearth
I would not like no sight
to be unable to see
I can't imagine anything worse
Not to see the various seasons
each with its own beauty
only to feel the sunbeams
would be to miss the rays
To watch them as they dance
as they high light a shape
to watch the moon at night
silvery radiance cloaking earth
No I would not like no sight
for then I could not read
think of it, no poems or books
life would be utterly dearth

It (Starts + Ends) By Remainders Of White
Beyond the logical
Comes a non-label
A bubbling brook
Melting icy snow
Words a barricade
Underground
Of origin
Struggling to float
Beware
To sink without
By form
The question
A crystal
A snow-globe
Her written memory
Forgotten or simply dry
Erased?
Comes a non-label

online today!Tides of Love
You captured me turning my life to bliss
Raining down upon me euphoria
Caressing my soul with warmth from your kiss
Turning the cold of winter to summer
Removing my fears as you make us one
Your presence surrounding me comforting
I relax accepting you, you have won
My state of being now between heavens
Wishing to stay in this time for all time
To ride upon the wings of nothingness
No thought no dreams only now in my mind
Waves rocking as in a sweet lullaby
Slowly the tides recede and I must go
Life will return as I leave this I know
Raining down upon me euphoria
Caressing my soul with warmth from your kiss
Turning the cold of winter to summer
Removing my fears as you make us one
Your presence surrounding me comforting
I relax accepting you, you have won
My state of being now between heavens
Wishing to stay in this time for all time
To ride upon the wings of nothingness
No thought no dreams only now in my mind
Waves rocking as in a sweet lullaby
Slowly the tides recede and I must go
Life will return as I leave this I know
