We strive for the secret,
Yet never quite reach it.
And the old are still the young
With grayer hair and paper skin,
While the child plays house
In Mama's clothes,
Innocent, yet knowing. . . . more

Deeper and deeper
The snow continues to pile
This is a rare thing
I know some of you get plenty of snow so it is no big deal, but this is a rarity here for us. We had snow on . . . more

Watch the coffee brew--
Bubbles start to percolate,
Ideas in heat
Rising in volume to burst
And reveal what lays ahead

Lying on my back, gazing at the sky
I think of you and I can fly
Soaring high over oceans so blue,
This makes no sense, but it is oh so true.
In loving you there is no in between.

She lived on
as tears on Mama's cheeks.
The bright colored dresses
with delicate lace
and the dolls with button eyes
were put away
But, still Mama cried.
Why is death? . . . more

Dreaming
I never want to wake up
floating across the sky
with my rainbow wings in flight
Here I can see
The Crystal Palace Inside

Dreaming I really See Myself

One, two, three seconds, four,
I count each one,
And then comes more;
Then come the minutes,

And with each minute,

Oh, come all speed,
Make time fly! . . . more

For all those who have lost loved ones
Let the teardrops fall, but let the smile come through
The person that you loved, loved you too
So much to remember, memories to treasure
So many joys, joys . . . more

snow and sleet mixing
to make a wintery mix
it is really cold
the snow is sticking

a fireplace would rock
heads up mouths open . . . more

You and I were never strangers.
long before we ever met
you held the key to my heart.
You were one I could never forget.
In another world, another time,
We have done it all before,
But one . . . more

I hope that these make you smile a little.
Sing Along Time
Come now altogether in Sound of Music time :
Crowbars and hacksaws and bullet proof jackets
Unshaven baddies and all of their rackets . . . more

Alone in the darkness,
I stand at my window
and gaze down on my deserted block,
barely lit by a single street lamp.
Suddenly, I see him,
The old man sitting lonely
On the September cold, . . . more

countless the times she supported and rallied
right to your side giving love and support
always for you a kindly report

I adopted your dog today
The one you left at the pound
The one you had for seven years
and no longer wanted around.
I adopted your dog today
Do you know he's lost weight?
Do you know he's scared . . . more

Ordinarily it wouldn't have happened,
But the booze went to my head.
I lost my inhibitions
And I wound up in your bed.
You looked into my eyes
And lit my body's fire
Pressed your lips . . . more

In a woven wicker basket
On a cluttered closet shelf.
It was safe there.

bringing candied sunshine on a stick,
I put it away in a black box . . . more

I dabble with words, have read masters
In this arena of lingua franca
Am convinced after years of pursuit
The perfect poem is yet unearthed
Have often been moved to dismal tears
No eulogy the . . . more
