As the lighthouse breaks the haze,
Of the eerie nightly mist,
Sat upon the harbor,
A ghostly child awaits his ship,
His cries haunt the darkness,
Beyond the afterlife,
As he awaits the ship of souls, . . . more

Confession
Forgive me father for I have sinned,
I forgot to empty the kitchen bins,
I left the fresh milk out all night,
And performed a wheelie on my bike,
I swore three times whilst in church,

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

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

I danced for him and won his heart;
He said it was the fire in my eyes, the wit in my laugh,
But when he held me against him, I knew he loved my beauty most.
It is a small thing, a sad thing, to be loved . . . more

I know the cry of your soul, for it is mine,
and I can hear it in the distant sound of your heart beat,
in the sounds of the sweet earth
and in the misty rain that falls,
in the crashing of the ocean, . . . more

Syrinx by the River Ladon
Look where she flies, fleet-footed Syrinx,
Her chiton drenched, her sole bruised.
See the stalks that kiss her calves,
Bend to embrace, then spring back:
Green as the nymph, . . . more

Will winter vex us still
tomorrow and again?
Will snow linger lazily
in the folds of yon fen?
Robin’s songs I long for,
singing in the bright of morn.
How dear t’will be . . . more

Garage Band Confessions
When I learn to play guitar,
(and when I have a garage)
I will form a band
and call it Cup of Spiders.
Or Allusion to the Pubis. Or--
Fat Kids Don't Dance;
or the Mute Inglorious . . . more

Eyes peer to know
What awaits me
On this brisk day
Pitching in seas
Capped by white spume--
Wickedly flicked
As briny spray
Past a proud bow
Risen and smug,
Into my face
For fine effect. . . . more

with not much of a space in between;
finding correct responses is no mean feat.

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,

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
