The almighty one
Don't be afraid to call out his name. Although it upsets him to be talked about in vain. For it is he that will rescue you and give you the true meaning of save. It is he that will . . . more

Happy Faces
I look out through my window,
Watching the world go by,
Analyzing peoples ways,
And the way they live there lives,
Even in the sunlight,
That shines with heavens grace,
I see an effigy of . . . more

There are those who know nothing of Christmas spirit and all its meaning.
They are the forgotten who have slipped beyond the sight of the world.
Alcoholics, drug addicts, prostitutes, street children. . . . more

Life is always full of twist and turns and ups and downs it seems,
Sometimes you may wonder if its worth all the pain to follow your dreams.
Some people seem so lucky in love and it seems they have it . . . more

If I Could
If I could express my feelings for her,
They'd be much more profound than these mere words,
If I could show her the love held within,
Be it much more inspiring than this mortal skin,
If . . . more

This was written for my first granddaughter when she and a friend had a spend-the-night party at my house when they were only 13.
They laughed
and giggled
and stayed up very late.
Loud music

Do you suppose
When we write with prose
Or
In poetry we fight to make words that are right
We
Struggle to find words so bright
In our lives we over come that which is night.

Melt into me
like the snow
during spring's thaw,
bringing to life
that which was frozen.
Envelop me
with the warmth of you,
and lay to waste
that which is cold and barren,
frigid . . . more

Wind-swept,
My life has been
Stormy seas and leaf-dance,
Cast adrift on careless currents,
Random.
Two steps
Forward or back,
And sometimes side to side,
No path ahead, no safe harbor,
Life's wile. . . . more

The landscape looms
With some contrast
No hues of blue
For ocean and sky
No use for color
In a world so defined
No unneccesary distractions
No creative juices flow
Right side atrophy
Shrivels . . . more

I saw this ad one day on my TV.
So I grabbed a pen and quickly wrote it down.
Something about it made me want to see
for myself what untold gems there may be found.

She walks the long way home
Her time alone to think
Into a bar she'd roam
As the bartender pours her drink
It helps her to forget
And chases away her pain
Spends so much time . . . more

Ode to the countrymen who mind their P's and Q's
Discussing times forsaken after friendly pint or two
Standing inside byways, watching a match consume
Troubles as feathers fly and maybe a . . . more

Dark Christmas
Tuesday, and the mall
is chaos as shoppers flitter
from store to store,
juggling fat shopping bags
Christmas music blares
from speakers and everywhere
there is ribbon, Christmas trees . . . more

I do not want to sweep the floor
nor wash the dishes any more
or mow the grass, or make the bed
my cooking skills have long been dead
I open a can when I want to eat
the dust keeps gathering round my . . . more

I have to give props to Will Evans who unknowlingly gave me the idea for this poem-he had me in tears yesterday (the laughing kind).
Secret rendenvous
Sex, hot and steamy
Old enough . . . more

Little girl
At play with pots and cups today;
A cook who puts her plates away—
Joy awhirl!
Little boy
At bat with eyes that strain to catch
The flight of white across the patch—
Swings . . . more

A Face Without A Name
I fade into the masses,
Just a face without a name,
Clones of suits, umbrella heads,
scurry about in pouring rain,
Looming towers casting shadows,
Unerve me with there gaze,
I'm . . . more

Bitter-almond mornings
spew poison
People crush my spirit
Fragmented woman
clawing her eyes out
So when they ask me
why I never
leave this room, I tell
them nothing. . .
shut the door . . . more

lieWolf lays upon a ridge
where short, sharp breaths
of wind take sand on their
tongues and spit it into spirals
that tumble down the canyon.
Man has come in many numbers
He hears man-speech bounce . . . more
