Her eyes were like the bottom of a glass of cognac...
Straight up, with no rocks, no
Distractions from the dark swirls of her mystery.
Her scent was cinnamon and crushed petals of
African violets, . . .

Across seas not known to man
On some uncharted strip of land
That is where you can find me
Resting ‘neath my poetry
It bears fruit from words I speak
Some are bitter, some are sweet

Moments like these
Are so hard to find
Like diamond teardrops
Suspended in time
Like tearing a hole
Through the fabric of space
To see once again
The magic of . . .

She had that look in her eyes, that
Far-traveled gaze that belied
Her youthful demeanor; an ancient
Child, to be sure. The way she
Smiled, when she was tickled by
The hilarity of life, . . .

I look at the world through red-rimmed eyes
Because I can't afford to sleep
I walk through the world in a disguise
Because I can't afford to weep
I am always a minute . . .

I have held this far too long
Now I'm almost far too gone
I feel I can no longer hide
The pain and sorrow deep inside
It breaks free from deep within
Flows from my heart to . . .

I once knew a poetry girl
At night she'd come and sing to me
Her words were like the finest pearls
The verses she'd whisper softly
Our poetry would intertwine

It is raining in the jungle
Upon the bright green canopy
The rain slides down the leaves and branches
To fall and spatter upon me
It is hot up in the jungle
Despite the rush of pouring . . .

My imagination shatters
All the reasoning that matters
And streaks toward the infinite
Past atmospheric confinement
My mind's eye sees past dimensions

It was in her starlit eyes
The love she had stored up for me
But I'd already turned away
Convinced that we weren't meant to be
Spring showers misted on this scene
Like tears . . .

I look into my mind and see
Lost films of pastime memory
And like a mad director I
Edit and cut to satisfy
The images I want to see
A love story of you and me
I snip away the arguments . . .

I was alone when lightning struck
When her eyes looked in mine
And the world seemed to have stopped
As if we had frozen time
And in that suspended moment
I saw the life that's . . .

On these glittering black shores
I finally exhale at last
I finally gather the strength
To release my trying past
Far too long I have suffered
In the shade of my downfall

Once I thought to be in love
Once I had someone love me
When I was young and unaware
Of how fragile true love could be
Once I broke a young girl's heart
By carelessly . . .

Hidden Tigress on the hill
Lying so completely still
Golden eyes peer from the grass
As you watch your prey go past
Safe they are, for you hunt not
Relaxed in your secluded spot

My pixie friend visits at night
Glowing with her inner light
I look forward to her visits
Her resting on my fingertips
It is I alone she trusts
With her magic pixie dust

She was one of the wild ones
You know, a child of the winds
The kind that danced in moonlit fields
Until the morning fog rolled in
She would see wonders in the rain . . .

Some tales are never left behind
In the snowdrifts of my mind
When I was younger I would go
In an enchanted world of snow
In my silver sleigh I'd see
Exotic worlds of . . .

It was an Indian summer,
A day lazy and hot...
While candy store vendors
Were setting up shop,
And lemonade sippers
Relaxed in the shade;
Our eyes met each other,
A connection . . .

To Fly
I try to stay away from ledges
Because temptation is too great
For me to soar over the edge
To go ahead and meet my Fate
I'd like to sail for just one moment
To feel the cool breeze . . .
