Silent misty dawn
Moss drips from ancient oak trees
Sun glints through grey fog

One brief moment caught in the balance,
lies the wind chime above the door,
harbinger of passage,
cacophony of inharmonic chords
that lie harmonic within us;
In the balance . . .

libra's child
What is this "love" that pulls me to you?
A gauzy veil of hope, desire, imagination
woven with faery dust and good strong rope

when at midnight you arise
to find a jackhammer tearing the street
and a backhoe lunging into the asphalt;
You block your ears to the noise and know
you will not sleep because . . .

epiphany
Look at her there --
She can't see you.
She's lost in a daydream
and miles away.
Can you behold her beauty and love her,
though she knows not that you may be?
Can you behold her . . .

I choose to exist:
Pain keeps me brave,
Treasuring secrets keeps me honest,
Railing against fate keeps me growing,
Spirituality keeps me grounded,
Dreams keep me wondering,
Laughter keeps me sane, . . .

wind lifts, skies darken , leaves to yellow,
white sand memories of kicking foam,
and the tides rush in, crashing sandcastles
we built when you were small;
we made mountains, . . .

Embrace the broken, dark places
Embrace the broken, dark places,
my shadow whispers, dancing with glee as only a shadow can,
pulling me toward the places we pretend are fixed;
embrace . . .

To put behind our differences and get on with the business of our marriage;
Was it when the cat died and we reft into two, the summer you left for the mountains to a cabin by yourself, in search of something . . .

She steps into the window.
caught on the edge of what is, is not,
she pauses: police cars speed to stop: blood on the sidewalk,
framed by lifeless . . .

The Internet
Facilitates connection
Fascinates minds
Fulfills dreams
Brings together people
Creates lasting bonds
Closes gaps . . .

as if in a dream, I walk through branches
in filmy nightclothes as cloud wisps catch
the underpinnings of raiments and thorns shred clothes
and the cloven hooves beat a solemn sensuality in marked dactylic . . .

Day and night
what a sweet delight
A soft voice
and a touch of ice
Deep with insight
vision of foresight
So graceful, so kind . . .

K D's SONG DID IT
It was one of those songs,
"My Old Addiction,"
Where the poetry that is
The Lyrics
Reaches out and grabs you
By the soul,
And shakes you gently
In a mind-shattering . . .

i remember freedom:
a simpler time
youthful, carefree bliss
musical laughter floats in memory,
jogged by old photographs.
i remember yesterday:
a different time
full of wonder, expectation
dreams . . .
