Late Autumn Lovers

Nothing   need   said,  between

The   old   couple   sitting

On   a   park   bench

Aside   the   clear   reservoir

Together

They  share   their   bread   crumbs   with

The   clicking,   honking,  young   geese.



Suddenly Saucer shaped

(Paranormal Blues)

Watching the world

Spinning  beyond control

Holding onto the jagged edges

around all the entropy spaces

just to feel

feel the fading forces

swallowed by spacey rigor mortis

,

Watching the world

spinning beyond control

I’ve become

suddenly saucer shaped

and fly away

,

We want something to believe in

We want somewhere to escape

We want to look past the horizon

,

everyone is suddenly saucer shaped

and fly away

Hear the Night (Night quakes)

Here the night comes through the trees
Hear the night blow through the trees
,
Gently knocking on a window pane
Rustling bedroom curtains
Caressing bedroom linen
,
Tiny little quakes
Dreams invite the night
,
The sun won’t need to know
No one needs to know
‘Till the dawn chases
Night back passed the trees

Walking, six feet tall and rising

Walking Lascaux

six feet tall and rising

I am so much taller than my past
I’m so taller than the shadows it casts
,
many have had  opinions on what I should be
many have an opinions on whats right for me.
,
I am so much taller than my past
I’m so taller than the shadows it casts.
because I follow my own opinions
of whom I am to be.

Walking-  metallic Lascaux (a revision)

Leap Frog

I’ll hoist you over

my tall shoulders

that you look over

when your a step behind.

,

levitate

reverberate

above the leafy canopy

before gravity

pulls down gingerly

now I’m right behind

,

as I look over

your tall shoulders

you host me over

we do it over and over

as two tumble long.

,

young lifes legacy (unfinished)

cruel beast with silent horns

you’ve ripped and you’ve torn

In a short life forsaken

a young life you’ve taken

everything you’ve taken

,

You can’t take the inspiring

life affirming, caring, smiling

impacting memories

carried by so many

you can’t take her legacy

you can’t take our memories.

,

Cruel beast of darken mass

you cant move as fast

as a young life’s impact

so stay in the past

and we’ll keep our memories

and she will keep her legacy.

for our friend, Denise.
