On one hoppin’ good night
I sat out with my dear
We drank to sunset red
And kissed into the morn
Tag: blank verse
Memorial
And when remembering heroes
Remember too their peace
Their carefully chosen words
With never brag nor boast
And hold them in your hearts
(That much remains the same)
Violence do not glorify
They never did.
Summer noise
Drips and swishes
Howling dogs
Distant roaring engines
Sweaty faces
Brightest sun
Sights and sounds of summer
512 – The rain
The rain falls hard
As on a tin roof
It drowns out all
But thoughts in one’s head
Hand in hand
Hold my hand and walk with me
Along the leaf-strewn path
Tell me all you have to tell
I’ll listen, rapt, to you
Teach me ev’ry corner of
Your ever-spinning mind
So I can with patience walk
And understand your tales
Walk with me through darkest night
Where moon and stars don’t shine
Let me take your heart in hand
And soothe its anxious beat
Though I am but human, I
Will love you best I can
Walk now with me; hold my hand
Life we’ll together face
After the storm
After heaven’s wrathful song
After sky’s great tears
Greens awake all o’er the ground
Blossoms open wide
Drums from heaven fade away
Presence faintly felt
Sun peeks ‘round the bright’ning clouds
And glistens in the grass
And a day
I’ll hold you
I’ll keep you
I’ll kiss you
I’ll love you
For longer than the universe
Forever and a day
More
However often I have lost my way
However many times I’ve given up
However much I’ve wished for a new life
It matters not, now that I’ve so much more.
Powerless
I have not wisdom for to change the world
Nor power for to force a change in hearts
Nor courage for to stand up to what is
What ever now can I purport to do?
Night’s gift
Gemlike droplets spread about
On ground’s green, growing grass
Glisten in the morning light
And tell of night’s cool breath
Each one, its own world, it seems;
With colors that abound
Dancing with the sway of breeze
And swirling with the light
