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

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

If we gather together
with others who gather,
does it mean
we are Gatherholics?
If we struggle to finish
other things in our day;
If we forget to work
and forget to play,

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

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

Remnants of a goddess
Overflowing ashtray
Opaque tea glass
Mesquite incense
Wistful musings
Imprints of my mind
Tattered tomes
Hovering self critic
Ancestral heirlooms
Visions . . . 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

Poetic Pain
I have written many poems,
Painted pictures with these hands,
But time it waits for no one,
Like the hourglass sands,
Is poetry a gift,
Or a hindrance of the mind,
I long to be so debonair, . . . 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 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.

Some days the path is so clear,
and the sun beckons to me;
Other days it seems littered with debris,
and my eyes cannot seem to focus
on where I'm going;
I feel I must constantly stop
and pick . . . more

Fading Hope
Her Idealistic dreams of one true love,
Constantly occupied her mind,
All hope she ever held,
Has been beaten over time,
She once graced the land,
With a smile and heart of gold,
She gave . . . more

Gravity released,
footsteps touch the highest cloud,
because of your love,
Solemn expressions are gone,
and rejoicing now begins.

Like argyle socks with a polka dot skirt
The weather doesn't match my mood
Sun's insistent rays shine forth
Mocking a clouded mind
I chant my mantra to the sky
"Rain, pour, drench, . . . more

Dry gusts of memories sweep through her mind, sending jolts of nostalgia with each blow. She ducks for cover, avoiding snapshots of a previous life. Hovering under an awning. Crouching on . . . more

Footsteps
Traipse falls upon springs dew kissed grass,
I wonder if the rains will last,
and if the sun will guide the way,
giving light on gloomy gray,
Awaiting warmth the flowers beg,
For royal sun . . . more

Conversations with Arnold
Arnold sat on a bench at the station,
And told me stories of his life,
I'd spend hours, listening intrigued,
As he told of lost loved ones,
and places he'd been,

As everything shushes, preparing for the

Lonely Lilly
Lonely Lilly stares through the window,
Watching the world go by,
As the children play outside,
Her inner youth it comes alive,
She opens up her door,
And calls us from our games,
