Ahhhh....he speaks of love

as if

the ultimate fantasy
of the Mules Apocalypse,

arise the Zephyrs,
spreading the seeds

of toxic incantations,

for it is the disbeliever
who sits atop
the mountain,

Alone!!

The minstrel cometh,
thus to capture,
if but for a moment
your ear,
that you may hear
soft, the melody of mine
heart,
for too long have I loved thee
without utterance,
for thou art beyond words,
yet I search but one!
One that you will know
of me in that sweet moment,
that my name shall touch your lips,
like a whisper, caressing thy flesh
like fingers of gentle wind,

as darkness falls upon us,
thy passions call out my name,
you have known me,

Alas! the minstrel
plays our song.

Ahhhhhh! That this be my safe place,
that I may seek thy refuge,
away from tormented souls
and poison tongues.

Finally silence, we meet again,
let me bask in thy richness,
but for thee would I lose
my sanity.

O' great solitude, embrace me
once more, heal mine spirit
with thy warmth, that a rose shall
blush my cheeks, hear me now!

*smile* .. I will play with this a bit more
to capture the right flow, but here is the
first draft. Appreciate the inspiration.


The minstrel came
The village gathered
The women unwrapped their scarves
And danced as unfolding flowers
Muted, peasant’s colors transformed
Into comely elegant adornments
Inventively fluid
The surprise of their grace
Unchecked approval
On each man’s face

And it came to be that music
Was heard in the village forever after
You see, before the minstrel
Women danced for themselves
Expressing their passions privately
But on the day of the minstrel
The village beheld
It is in the eye of the beholder
Seen through her dance, where
A woman speaks of herself completely

Thank you, Mandrake.

Now I wished I'd waited so it didn't feel like a double post to put up the finished version. This sort of rhythm isn't commonly easy for me, but the words sort of worked themselves into this alignment. Took longer than usual to make it all fit.


The minstrel came, the village gathered
The women unwrapped their scarves
They laughed, they danced, they bloomed that day
Unfolding as new season’s flowers

The lute transformed their muted garb
Into comely, elegant adornment
Inventively fluid, their grace a surprise
The men’s unchecked approval, ancient

And it came to be that music
Was heard in the village forever more
You see, before the minstrel’s magic
Women danced only behind closed doors

But on the day of the minstrel
The village peasant’s beheld
It is in the eye of the beholder of dance
Where a woman speaks truth of herself

The symphony of silence,
notes float
unheard,
crescendos, pitches,
aurical reception
invigorating,
stimulating the senses,
a masterpiece!

Bravo.....encore!

applaud the
conductor!

In a Dream

Far away from this place,
between here and there,
my world opens
into a field of dreams,

consumed,

yet somehow
transformed

to a gentle land
of love,

where tears
become rare gems,
liquid flowers
in a garden of Eden.

and in this place,
my feelings flow
like a waterfall,
free and gentle,
flowing to eternity

Eternity, in it's childhood,
playing with forever,
endless time with no beginning
and no end,
just a game of tag
with yesterday and tomorrow,
where time never stops,
and life
just
is!

words touch deeply.

words chosen.

Where the feelings calm
Subsiding storm
missing from the depth
thankful yes? moreso...mindful of the day he was born

easy to open up
harder to hear
maybe
i've changed my mind
wrong is hard to say
it tastes like dirty potatoes from the garden

didn't i know
he would come around
holding my head on his chest
making nary a sound

holding me while tears subside
just listen to me...please
i mean it
this time

move home to me
i'll be there soon
i'd sooner kiss the sky
or rope the moon

waters troubled under the bridge
we live
we learn
we begin again

when you coming home mom
i miss you so

i wish it were that easy
to turn around and go

Something a little different, a bit of humorous poetry


I had no munee,
I was so baroque,
I thought I would dye,
or have a stroke.

I went to the banque,
To take out a lone,
But all they would do,
Was throw me a bone.

My investment in oyl,
And natural gas too,
Turned sour when I farted,
And turned the earth blue!

Heaven won't take me,
and neither will hell,
Now I'm stuck here on earth
In this ungodly smell!!
