How many poems
in how many stops
have been written on
napkins in coffee shops.
While others make lists
of the things they must do,
I sip on my coffee
and write like a fool.
Not Every Love
Not every thought I think
is pure.
Not every move I make
is sure.
Not every song I write
can flow.
Not every love I make
can grow.
Silent Seeds
When hurt is a blanket of ice
smothering molten flames,
and the holy fire within
turns ashen dreams,
the silent seeds remain
where miracles are born,
awaiting but new rains
for love to bloom again.
Cosmic Love
Does cosmic love
seek concrete form
in human lovers?
Is this why some
feel dead
without another?
Yesterday
Yesterday was lonely
and tomorrow’s never won.
We wake to find the present
is all that ever comes.
Yesterday’s decisions
made the path we take today,
but yesterday is oh so far,
two billion miles away.
Society
Do you know
what society is?
It is a cloudy mirror
where one views oneself
in different forms.
Wings of Wax
I soared so high on wings of wax,
but not gone high enough to crash.
It’s time for me to make new plans
so flying can be safe again.
The Nip
There’s magic in this bottle.
I think I’ll take a nip
and pause between my many cares
as through this life I slip.
Electronic Love
Love is orbiting freely
around those
illumined souls
that light one’s path
but not gone high enough to crash.
It’s time for me to make new plans
so flying can be safe again.
Where Magic Grows
Where magic grows,
love goes.
Where laughter spills,
love will.
Where happy dwells,
all’s well.
I think I’ll take a nip
and pause between my many cares
as through this life I slip.
Daffodils
I lost my money, spun my wheels,
I wandered lonely city fields.
Although I looked with eyes of steel,
I did not find my daffodils.
around those
illumined souls
I loved the verses. They were short and exactly right and fit right in with my belief system.
