Saved



This anniversary
My mind it turns to you
We shared a space
We shared wonderful music
You, company unknown
Close beside me
Warm and wonderful
Me, shy
And not willing to move
So as to simply enjoy
An all too fleeting
Moment of companionship
This moment saved me
Braved me a valued friendship
My mind turns to you
Because through our differences
You have made the greatest difference of all
My dearest friend

The Moxie



Fuck everything and run
Says the bookseller
Take that first leap
And don’t turn back
You want to follow that muse
Right over that edge
Cause it will take you
Where you need to go
Whether you intended
To go there
Or not
It will be as intended
By the jokesters who stir the stew
They want that new ingredient
That thing that shows
You have more than mere free will
You have the moxie to take control
To spit in that cosmic face
To say
Fuck everything and run
Go with it
Says the bookseller

Float


From heights
White wings
White clothing
Flowing
Tanned skin dropping
Blue back
It’s over
“Will I be remembered?”
He asks.

The End


So roll the credits
after the film.
A life course fulfilled
with promise.
Hell, I did my best,
at least, I hope I did,
and where I didn’t
please forgive and understand.
I am only human.
At least that is my damned lousy excuse.
My foibles are mine alone.
Yet, I shared them with all
witting and unwitting.
and you shared them right back.
We are all in this together.
The end,
we leave alone.

Resurrection



What is your art
Am I dead again
That which you fed
Is there deep within
Hidden beneath layers
Will it come again
Am I dead again
When lone
Again

moon song sun sings



honu chases with moon to the sun
she and he this day
they share a space
her whispy and white
a wraith within the bright blue
sun will never catch moon
he loves her so
she will enter his song
and allow him to sing to her
his overtures of love
but her song belongs among the stars
his a star so bright he shadows all others
she rules the night sky
he guards for her by day
her place around this earth
the rise and fall of water life
they may dance these two
she before him
he before her
each dance blood red
a passions flare
her cycle will run again
her song will return the lonely sun
his love not lost
her love mysterious
honu chases with moon to the sun
