Death Is A Creep

Death Is A Creep


Upon my knee she
my little imp sits
stares up
at me
full of wonder and delight
yet I’m old enough to know
one night
the light won’t be in my eye…
on my other knee the creep
he silently stares straight at me
he’s part and parcel of everyone’s
reality
he can’t help being an offensive thief
he’s meant to be what he is
a creep
living life makes me the happy thief
life every second with every heartbeat!!!

Sonnet # 218

Sonnet # 218

He spends his days thinking of you
on a rainy day or when the sky is a brilliant blue
a new day when hope is replenished anew
how clear is his picture of you
your smile your walk
the sensual sound of your voice when you talk
tiny hand gestures that little thing you do
it annoys you when he says “it’s cute..”
don’t you just love to dance
surround yourself with love and romance
with light and beauty you fill your soul
so completely knowing how to make yourself whole;
He spends his day day-dreaming of you
he knows the world is a better place because of you!

Rainbow Colored Ice Cream In A Cone

Rainbow Colored Ice Cream In A Cone


I love to see the stark sunrise
I love women with beauty
in their eyes
I love spring and love to sing
round the flag pole
know my country is for me
I love life…
Life
isn’t about diamond rings
I love to dance
archaic poetry
hot love songs
a soft woolen blanket
for winter’s chill
to keep me warm
I love life
all it brings
a hand to hold
the bee when it stings
my soul when it’s bare
I love life when I’m down
that’s when your love truly abounds…
I love life..
I love a bird’s simple mating call
hard cold desolate streets
the sound of dice when they’re thrown
rainbow colored ice cream in a cone
I love the words I love you
when uttered by you
I’m free to say
I love you too
I love you too
I love life because of you!!!!

Infrequent Liaison

Infrequent Liaison


Want you as a friend
of mine
in the worst kind of way
want to call you on the telephone
morning
noon
or night to tell you about my day…
want to laugh at your jokes
in the twilight of the day
none of that will happen
because
neither you or I can stay…
Want to whisper in your ear
tidbits
that will make us gay
laugh out loud
about foolishness
off the path that we have strayed
want to linger in your arms
in the comfort of where we lay
but time has passed so quickly
we must move
along our separate way…
Want you as a friend
of mine
in the worst kind of way
but
today you’re my hearts desire
my lover
and that too is ok…

Foul Winds

Through-out
all the unpleasantness
his open mouth
from which
fouls winds blew out
your calmness pervaded
staunch and rooted like a tree
you stood composed
unaided

Sonnet #219

If you’ve loved truly loved
it will never go away
it will be like the air you breathe
till death that love will stay
though the love of your life
they may have gone astray
but if you’ve loved truly loved
in your life they will always stay
when like the bitter pill to swallow
you must send them away
if you’ve loved truly loved
in your soul somewhere they will play
For love is like the air you breathe
till death it will always stay
