In the beginning
As soon as you pray it echoes
only God consumes its meaning
in this tall room with high rafters
once built for reverence
There's a small bell in the corner
it is chiming in the morning draught
I imagine a spirit still resides here
in this once loved sanctuary
Weddings and funerals all passed
ceremonies for the masses
we watch the candles burn
sunlight through the panes
Salvation may be hidden
in the mysteries here, for all I know
I turn a page and read
"In the beginning.."

About this poem:
Imagining a trip to an old underused church
Let me be
If i feel the need to die to fly high to touch the sky. Let me be let me be, should i happen to write to souls in the night the ones that lost the fight, let me be let me be, if theres nothing inside left to hide i fall down on a blade to take away the pain felt from yesterday, let me be let me be, if i wander out to a desert ranch with no chance for a return dance, let me be let me be, if i am not for this world anymore because i cant settle the score, let me be let me be, if i come through and continue to see, just let me be let me be!!.

About this poem:
My liver is stuffed. Point of no return.
The Tree
We were young so our playground was a tree, we learnt how to play and grow with the tree.
The tree was left on it’s own, but we both knew it was home, Thanks to the tree we both found home.
She would sit under the tree reading a book and watching me. Me I would look at her and look at the tree.
The wind blowed under the tree where she used to be, but now the leaves have left the tree and her shadow can be seen.
Now the tree is no more and is the one I adore; I sit down where the tree would be lost two great things dear to me.
So I got up and went in my pocket you see, pulled something out just wait and see.
See it’s a seed, what a wonder that tree will be.
The tree was left on it’s own, but we both knew it was home, Thanks to the tree we both found home.

About this poem:
i Wrote it as i had a lot going on in the family, Always a good base in life is a solid tree.Plus i lost my wife, so if you like a 5 min outburst and a calm mind to paper lol.Hope you enjoy.Truth of mind
10 years that sure has been a long time now I'm alone but I'm not sad anymore. My heart has grown my mind has lived and knows that I am someone I always wanted to be for sure. I feel now I am like a river that's been living for years but I'm just that bit that goes to the shore. 10 years yes it's been a wild ride with you and even though we are not together anymore we are friends till the end of the world And I'm taking my new steps to find my peace that I've always needed to be cured. I've always thought being alone was sadness and I tip my hat to the days with you that made me feel like I was nailed to the floor. I'm glad you're still my friend and I hope we both find another love for each we live we laugh we learn.

Morel Hunting
I used to go out with my Dad
In May you could find them around old elm trees
We usually had a couple meals of them
The rest were sold
The last morel I found was in 2016 with my Dad
We only found one
The rest of the years since I have bought them
A few years ago I spent 35 bucks for a pound of them
Now I am seeing 70 bucks a pound
I went today and only found a golf ball and a quarter
The morel festival is in two weeks
We'll see if I want to pony up the dough for a pound of morels
At least the kettle corn is still cheap!

I love morels, a lot!
Springtime Coronation
When lush tender green grasses
That grows in early springtime
Beautiful behind camera glasses
Watch the colors as they rhyme
Those dancing dandelions ablaze
Tulips standing like colorful sentries
How the flowers pop and amaze
The noblest of all the gentries
A perfect coronation in natures sight
The most sacred dances and song
The chase and chatter songbirds fight
Pageantry of love make our hearts long
For a few brief weeks this battle wages
When all the color and noise take flight
A spectacle to behold for all the ages
Under a glowing sun shines so bright
That grows in early springtime
Beautiful behind camera glasses
Watch the colors as they rhyme
Those dancing dandelions ablaze
Tulips standing like colorful sentries
How the flowers pop and amaze
The noblest of all the gentries
A perfect coronation in natures sight
The most sacred dances and song
The chase and chatter songbirds fight
Pageantry of love make our hearts long
For a few brief weeks this battle wages
When all the color and noise take flight
A spectacle to behold for all the ages
Under a glowing sun shines so bright

About this poem:
This poem seems fitting for the occasion.Olive Green
Olive green
fix me a martini
when you stir, you shine
and all the syllables flow
down through the pages
as small fish must ply
in the bountiful ocean
two strings to your bow
she coyly remarked
wolverine weaponry
tossing her hair
she idled on
I'm left in the plush air
of a night's writing
an idle pursuit
God granted
feeling for the next stanza
is a call to arms
looking for the cadence
to rectify the machinery
too much in play
beat it out so
it is no missive Jim
words flow like liquor talks
strong is made gut to gut
bringing out the light
shadows cast asunder
fix me a martini
when you stir, you shine
and all the syllables flow
down through the pages
as small fish must ply
in the bountiful ocean
two strings to your bow
she coyly remarked
wolverine weaponry
tossing her hair
she idled on
I'm left in the plush air
of a night's writing
an idle pursuit
God granted
feeling for the next stanza
is a call to arms
looking for the cadence
to rectify the machinery
too much in play
beat it out so
it is no missive Jim
words flow like liquor talks
strong is made gut to gut
bringing out the light
shadows cast asunder

About this poem:
getting back into it
online today!Birds chirping about?
when I talk to you
I'm actually just chatting to me
because conspicuous by absence again.
Won't imagine in which beautiful area,
with whom enjoying precious time.
You're smarter than me,
that's why I'm thinking of you.
Regardless, thoughts are free
to live in love with you.
The sun warms the colors of nature,
alone in it in quiet peace,
sit here together and listen to inspirations

About this poem:
beautiful day in spring, sitting in the forest
frost
buried my toes in snow
earth so brown below
brown frozen holding down
snow all over earth like crown
I was freezing
pretty pain from one snow flake
it kept me for sure wide awake
was I something death could take
another devil for God’s sake
the frost was teasing
hand of sleep reached me so
my breath was pretty bad to blow
I should have known this years ago
like any other flying crow
the frost was pleasing
earth so brown below
brown frozen holding down
snow all over earth like crown
I was freezing
pretty pain from one snow flake
it kept me for sure wide awake
was I something death could take
another devil for God’s sake
the frost was teasing
hand of sleep reached me so
my breath was pretty bad to blow
I should have known this years ago
like any other flying crow
the frost was pleasing

Floating The Estuary
Entering the therapists’ room I experienced
brief and glimpse encounters
through an aquatic of grappling hands and minds.
Yet all who proclaimed to be healers were stealers.
Among them was the highly acclaimed clairvoyant
trying to penetrate my mind.
She became overwhelmed and frustrated
finding no gateway,
abandoning me, as hopeless, mindless and useless
thrusting me towards you
the new boy
in training
untried, untested
and little thought of
too insignificant for their grandeur.
You knew that I was being cast off
furthermore thrown into your direction
as unwanted, un-repairable
too broken to restore
opinions of the soothsayer
oracles of false prediction.
The teeming room of therapist
glanced on with pity
as they exchanged fistfuls of their clients wealth
“She is covered in blood!
who can go near her” they feared
“You have her” the mystics insisted.
You held me in your arms
Then gently seating me down upon the rug
You handed me a colourless bolster bean-filled pillow.
I pressed the pillow close to my chest
hugging it like my own teddy.
You drew in close to me,
asking me to choose a colour for the pillow.
“Vivid light green, a turquoise sea” I responded
“I knew you would choose that shade” you joyfully affirmed.
Simultaneously I was on board your boat
Buoyantly floating the aquamarine estuary
You held my shoulders, gently rocking me
The boat swayed back and forth
as your healing love journeyed
exploring my complexity
through your sweet unguent scented palms.
Embracing one of your hands
descending it down my torso,
nestling it precariously on the inner part of my thigh
I enticed you into the boat with me.
While the elements gently rocked us
Your hand soothingly and sensually
fondled me into a sleepy lull.
With my back inclined into your chest
along with your arms around me I melted
into your caresses.
Nuzzling your head
into the curve of my neck and shoulder
we drifted on the calm swaying waters.
We no longer were two separate entities
however had become as one,
encircling the cool flame
of infinite love and peace
flickering through our quintessence
as the healing flame entwined each receptor
infusing the subtle energies
gracefully flowing like liquid gold
exploring our veins and vessels
entwining us like a woven blanket,
a tapestry of bliss.
Subsequently
we were curtly interrupted
from our dreamy boat
of tranquillity,
by prodding therapist
with scornful expressions
“Totally unethical” we heard them murmur with many “tuts”
Yet nothing bothered us...
Nonetheless we remained serene
plus undisturbed within,
there were no disturbances
within the waters of our existence.
You encircled me intimately
wrapping your arms around me firmly.
Your sensual sexuality surged
as you pressed in closely
upwelling through my spine.
Whilst both inhaling
in perfect synchronisation
the presence of the living God
filled our hearts.
When we exhaled together
all the brokenness
plus all the pain dispensed.
With each breath we shared
deeper healing occurred.
Trust and bonding grew between us
like two innocent children.
Peace and understanding was ours
to be claimed.
Fear dissipated into the sea
as Christine held us safely in her bowels
