Enlightened breezes cast hope
on far away lands,
spices and gin flavour the words
of the lithe.
...

Thunder rolls in the distance
like drums of a heartbeat
stomping through the veins of
humanity
...

Plant her life in a window box
and let the roots look for a way
leaves and flowers reach up
to the sun, drown in a thick and
...

Within grace, there is beauty
and within that beauty, is kindness
Within grace, there is joy
and within that joy, is sorrow
...

Would you step aside to let
someone else climb
quiet your voice so another
may be heard
...

If I look deep inside myself
I would find that secret place
no one could ever know
...

Misty morning daylight dawns
ocean sings a ghostly song
lonely spirit sits and waits
waves are gently lapping
...

Words with many colors and textures
laugh at the canvas.
Paths of green mossy thickness
reveberate through the glade.
...

Fine lines that constitute a border
blocking entrance or defining a role
smudge and constrict the thing they were meant to protect
to touch it, to think of it
...

Ringlets of pure light
master of an ancient dialect
falls from the earth
only to be born again
...

Crystals cast a fickle
spell over the
afternoon landscape
...

I travel this path
of pine and earth
a new chapter
about to unfold
...

A small child
no more than five
a blue dress
and crooked knees
...

Velvet rivers of aroma
luscious and heavy
bloom in waves
of frantic shimmering climax
...

Shadows through
a breathless veil
clinging like cobwebs
to the righteous mind
...

Emerging from the darkness
into the realm of conscious thought
navigating through the rain
soaring in the sky
...

Black fragrant soil is my blood
minerals course through my veins
to nourish my body
rich green grass feeds my greedy flesh
...

It is the way the color of the day
melts into night
Thoughts turn dark
with a halo on the horizon
...

What do you ache for...
the words that can never quench
the piercing noise
the heart beats that flow into a cauldren
...

Liquid luscious aqua green-blue
silkily silently gliding on through
wallowing faintly in her deception
...
