THIS PERFECT DAY
Soaring in great sweeping spirals,
wedge-shaped clouds of migrant geese
pay tribute to the autumn sky.
Sighs of wind stir crumpled leaves; . . .

Flotsam
Hooks rising tides--
As books take rides on trucks--
To beaches round the earth's diff crust
For ardent devourers of enigmas
Who divine tableaus from tidbits
Once fondled as fine art . . .

"Crystal clear" repeats in my mind,
Your lenses, crystal clear--
Twin orbs of blue, polished by tears
Of your lovely making
To tease my heart to plead for you
To spend eternity
With . . .

Portals
Let my love pass
Through ever-changing life
Into atmospheres that bathe her,
Clothe her, and scent her so her laughter peals;
Her echoes touch my lonely room,
Send me through melody
Dancing . . .

Smouldering embers
eyes opening to the soul.
Falling then captured.

Hope draws me in
With soft tendrils
Slipping over
Long untouched skin
Small fires to tell
Of your passage
Again, again
Until I breathe
Sweet scents of you,
Perfume mingled
With . . .

On still summer nights
with the windows open wide,
I hear faint, familiar music;

An inviting time
Of gentle breezes
Beside a canal,
Feet dangling over
An ancient stone wall,
Hungry, eager ducks
Rasping their demand
For the bread you drop
Past your sun-warmed knees . . .

Here in my lonely room
Where fingers tap out thoughts
I dream of an active place
Where deeds replace thoughts
Where mouths issue melodies
Where eyes tell me tales
Where legs jump for joy
At the . . .

There´s no wife tonight: no other half of the tale.
No questions or desires blurted down the hallway.
No delivery of daily vignettes across the sofa´s pillows.
No flurry . . .

It doesn't matter who you are
Rocketman or superstar
When you've been hit by cupid's aim
Your soul's ablaze with passion's flame
Of love, desire, in swirling gyres
Of taste . . .

Beneath your lonely feet
Walk a long desert.
The gold of a sky
Eternal, liquid.
Fire of sand touches
Both your lonely feet.
They call those bushes snake flowers.
The breeze . . .

Aweigh, aweigh!
Remove belay;
We must sway and win this day
Of rising seas,
Quickening winds,
To bode boards with more than spray!
Oh, what a sight!
The sails in flight,
Crimson . . .

Crisp breeze of spring
Passes my place
By the river
And sings to me
Of life that is--
As heaven knows--
On water flows
It rustles plants
Whistles fine tunes
Brings to my eyes . . .

My heart beating
A sweet tattoo in time
As your presence expands my soul's

I know how the prisoner feels
When he's locked up in the pen.
I feel the longing in his soul
To be outside again.
I see the sag of his shoulders
As he sits there reminiscing,
And . . .

In just a moment
I knew---But I was lost in your eyes
So I said it didn't matter,
That you were never mine to keep.
I basked in the heaven of your smile
Ignoring the hell in my heart, . . .

It happens when lights are low--
The whispers in the dark;
Murmurs of things so bright
Give hopes to strike a spark!
As breaths blow soft and slow
And eyelids slim to close,
An inner . . .

Nature drifts dreamily into slumber.
Dry leaves crackle,
Crushing into soft, still earth.
Sunset's rich hues
Spatter the blue horizon.
The crisp chill of night
Overtakes the warmth . . .

At first, the sun was shining.
Its warmth encased my head,
But gray clouds appeared
And without warning
My heart grew cold.
I watched your retreating back
And wondered when . . .
