once
Category: Writing and Poetry
a simple man
once while resting in my old lady's elbow chair
in the good ole bye & bye of days
the sun peeked out & about
while the sky still carried her bruise in hues
engaging stillness exchange blows gracious
amid the attention & caution
fashioning importance & respect
in the midst of fumbling correctness
i stumbled across a song
words from a humble man
whispering his laughing lore
healing me sound from harm
i could only raise my face
toward the sun's thousand hands
as they applauded
this simple man

Poets Round Table No. 78 ~ Freedom
Category: Writing and Poetry
Poets Round Table No. 78 ~ Freedom
i
Words quicken in flame and lace
center of lightning's course,
freedom's smooth surfaces
return in folds to the Source.
ii
Return in rippled ecstasies
ravished love-soaked bites
skin-tight pliabilities'
strapless hallowed rites.
iii
Anthems ring with strong resound
a salute to freedom's heartbeat;
knowing what was lost and found
scores of miles festering scarlet feats.
iv
When right is clearly wrong, one looks left
Closed eyes tremble in inevitability's wake
Expectation's lamented second guess at best
Leaves questions dead for placation's sake.
v
Though fear's mad whirlpools
Fog, smear skies from afar
And rabid foam is worn by fools;
I'll chart my course by inner star.
Poets
i Eusthacia
ii Steve
iii carolinablu
iv BC Beneke
v lana deym campbell

dreaming dreams dreaming
Category: Writing and Poetry
diminished pace
i.
coniferous child beguiled
wandering as though it's i
exiting shrouds before it's too late
durid dusk mutters insane blame game
flinching ashen regiment's plane
sporadic joie de vivre paced
diminishing alto fate
faux pas doesn't belong here
never will;
no - never will
ii.
frequently, words are what they seam
on occasion, visage meek & humble
pondering through an isle of fate
ever so often, a wily fish swims upstream
nevertheless, a sensible fish glides down the sound
to retaliate an oaf's puss filled pulses
consorting whistles shrill corralling defamed veil of veils
does such wave duty or disaster?
here –
hear a fall!
yes, a scurried fall
among my companion's canyon
adding a notable note upon wisdom's crown
such a jester
makes me
a prominent clown
iii.
branches prays meekly
hummingbirds flickers in tune
truth sings it's own song

sagebrush moons
Category: Writing and Poetry
"time as he grows old teaches many lessons."
~ aeschylus (525-456 bc), greek soldier & playwright ~
so say the mother of mothers
as much as my tears bled throughout
squalor still refuses enough of a score disturbed
hunger pains of unanswered saulies prayed
stopped buoyantly hashing clenched teeth
crucifying
film scars refreshed
while appending doom congregates
but never ever kept among sagebrush moons
brine tears & sage shall clean out any ghost
so say the mother of mothers
bloodshot roadmaps led nowhere as i followed my gaze
to know, no reflections concentrates this late in time
yet the hours of darkness still sifted an alpenglow dawn
the cynosure of my once upon a time sacrosanct eyes

weathered scores
Category: Writing and Poetry
yesterday of when
gingerly, as it was, weathered scores wave-
d
declarations scamming pages inked
words where what they were then smudges
of promises
associates to faded inks dimming with age-
d
for-get-me-nots tied among adorations not
explored lying among hyena's den
encapsulating serenades
sleek threads unraveling notes fade-
d
masquerading blank pages of what was now
dead words of promises never kept spoke
(the echoes still choking)

hoary tunes
Category: Writing and Poetry
last call
nepotism free swings hoary tunes
plagiarism beckons odium goals
mom & pop bootlegged gene pool
spawn conceding apple tarts
dreams
dandelions pop implanting
friend or foe who knows;
who knows the eyes
transmits the last
call

no denials
Category: Writing and Poetry
waltz of the lilies
considering the lilies
wisdom curtsied shyly
inundated veils swirled blissfully
hauntingly hopeful
superimposed what was when now
scabbard right sighted for good measures
lazarus & i scaled into the same address book
i heard my name reassured; no denials

wi nas overture
Category: Writing and Poetry
wi nas overture
as i saw it:
whip-o-wills
lying low,
dreams dissipates
defining scrunched notes
scribbling(s)....
contained by bobwhites'
refrain reframed reframing
(excluding) the mocking
ah-h-h! the timestamp mocking
mocking (as if)
mimics mocking
even more so than yesteryear's
mockingbird
operatic cantor
conceded ambiguously; knowingly
enmeshing woodpeckers' arsenal
rat/a/tat/tap/tap/tapping/ping/ping/tapping/rat/a/tat/tapping....
furious
enraged,
furiously
deranged
surmounting codes, befitting restless crescendos
for in this life, as in others, such was needed,
connecting oracles granted no guarantee for serenading encores
codas were yet to be written for man refused to listen
sinuously the air sits in still array
understanding
the seagulls
could – should - would
cry
seamlessly
equating announcers' jazzing sirius radio
in notes, wrapper of nascar racing grace
muffled
humming cargos
sighing
one
at
a
time

see, saw, seen
Category: Writing and Poetry
fairytale blues
while shuffling the cards of life
suites of ands, ifs, buts and what-nots
cramps my fingers as moments in time
nibbles the overshadowing yarn
gazing over my shoulder i investigate
blankness exhales infertile air
tears could wash away yesterdays
simply, the draught is a constant standstill
solitaire a waits with smiles of remorse
"the animal i've become" dead lyrics song
till the cravings appeared thigh deep
scarred within; tearful pleadings denied
daddy's teeth dug the trail of hell's gate
my instructions you said did not crucify
we long for days filled with gardenias' perfume
filling & pruning, what was at best,
a fairytale unsung

groundswell
Category: Writing and Poetry
unclenched
in the memories of more
highways amble in new shoes
grasses groundswell worn out maps
honeydew penalized moment's truth soiled
pearl fed swine kept never once
kin raced secrets striving convicted cons
neon lights hover
fleecing ink stained heavens
