You're the cream in my coffee
I like my coffee black
You're the star on the big screen
The picture's fade to black
You're a kettle of hot tea
I like my tea on ice
You made your big decision . . . more

Trapped Sun
Diffused
Coax me,
Moist hot lover,
Into your embrace
Brilliant and Clean
You excite
I stretch up to inhale you
Sweet, you carry the world
In your scent
Tongues probe . . . more

Blues guitar mingles with hot mama wailing
"Can't get next to you"
Stifling sweaty patchouli scented underground
Sweet smoke lingers caressing dancers
Who disappear into the groove
All . . . more

Once you really commence to see things, then you really commence to feel things.

How often do I merely glance? . . . more

In the twilight of this morning
As the bird began her song
I was watering the garden
For the frost had come along
'Mongst the tender shoots of green
Within the fertile soil so sweet
Lay a dozen deep . . . more

I want to stay in bed today
wrapped in my cotton sheet
Soft pillow tucked beneath my head
Enjoying slumber sweet
I want to stay right here in bed
Where I can keep you near
In dreams you're smiling, . . . more

What if a feather lit upon my shoulder
sticking there
Joined by a hundred others,
Could I finally ride on air?
What if a tear from our Madonna
dropped into my eye
Would I be blessed and for all of humanity . . . more

You speak
I inhale your mouth...
supple lips moving,
your words I do not hear.
Your eyes
pools of wonder
I wish to dive in
as
you speak,
I do not hear
your words.
As in a dream
you smile
pearly teeth . . . more

It's another misty morning
And the clover field is deep
Came outside to clear the cobwebs
From my head of last night's sleep
Saw your face outside my window
Peering in before . . . more

Hurrying
White Rabbit
gotta get here
go there
look at the time
counting on me
gotta get
gotta go
gotta leave
can't stay
no time to dally
messages from friends
call me
write, won't you
I miss . . . more

Sleepy I blink
Glide to the tea kettle
dreamwalking
Steam and liquid
comfort me
as slowly I wake
Drinking your words
with
Honeyed tea
I smile.
And
Send up thanks to you
We are connected
spirit is . . . more

WE DANCE THE SEASONS

Photos by Pops and friends
We dance the seasons
Spring blossoms amidst
Tambourine's jingle
Birds sing the promise of
Summer, endless summer
Camping dancing . . . more

Air crisp and cold
Ice forms in my lungs
I exhale glitter which clinks happily to the ground
Frost and snow cling to my brow and lashes
Albino bimbo with blue lips and a wicked grin
Teeth chatter like . . . more

Dreams crashed
I stand on my suitcase to dream taller
Hopes dashed
I'd crawl inside if I were just a bit smaller
Memories faded
I open up my suitcase and moth flies out
Outlook jaded
Really I don't . . . more

As I seek peace and love and light
I wonder why the soldiers fight
When sent to battles not their own
In distant places far from home
A mother prays for peace somewhere
Neath shell and mortar's glowing . . . more

Kitten intently studies the feeding birds
from the safety behind the screen door
She trills, unobserved, tail twitching with ears
pointing straight up
Gorgeous Black Cat
She has no name, this little . . . more

Big smile, outstretched arms
Running feet jump and hold on
I love you gramma!
Peek a boo, Sweetie
Gramma Kitty loves you too
Butterfly kisses
Here comes Little Guy
Reaches up, I pull him in
Head on my . . . more

Tick tick
clock speaks
measured, precise
Tick tick
time moves
to where?
Tick tick
dog sleeps
I sigh
and wonder
where are those minutes
just passed by?
Are they really gone
or
am I caught up in
illusion... . . . more

The trash is overflowing
You throw more on the ground
When I come home I'm bitched at
for fruit flies all around
Cardboard container empty
beneath computer seat
It's not mine, but it's my . . . more

I long to be held
Husband
pay attention to me
I know you love me
there is never a doubt
Yet you are a busy man
I love you
you are my heart's desire
I'd hold you if you'd let me
I know you . . . more
