A Salty Tale
 
"Please tell me of the sea," she begged,
when last he did return.
"My words are not enough, dear girl.
But if you'd care to learn..."
"Just close...

The Thrill of the Hunt
No one's pet,
I stalk the world like a cat.
Alive with kitten playfulness,
but beware my careless, hurtful claws.
Sometimes,
a mighty jungle cat,
hiding in tall grasses, supremely alert,
eyes...

Ties That Bind
How her demons love the darkness!
Vivid nightmares steal her sleep.
Terrors hiding from the daylight,
painful secrets buried deep.
Childhood horrors still unspoken,
she remembers when she tried.
She was...

Her Easter
Dead for months
muscles stiff
and frozen
eyes dull
unfocused
seeing only
more of the same
in her future.
Then
a blinding light
bathing her in warmth
even more
than she can...

Holding on
You slept, resting your head on my chest.
I held my breath not to awake you.
Holding on to time as gently as onto your trust....

Dozing Eros
A gentle nudge awakens her,
his body wanting hers,
before he knows it himself.
Eyes still closed,
a sleepy smile,
her hips tilt a bit,
backing closer to him.
But...

My Incandescent Soul
A simple light,
not a beam,
nor a beacon,
labors daily
to illuminate
a common path.
Evening surrounds,
joined by Nightfall
and an evil wind.
Without...

Absolution
Half inside, half out,
peach-painted toenails
rest on glistening tiles.
Rose-scented bubbles
whispering veiled secrets,
blinking, wide-eyed
as they perish.
She is drifting.
Absorbing.
Weary candles...

Playing with gloom
Sad and broken inside
Finding nowhere to hide
Loneliness by the side
Not a soul to confide
Failed each avenue tried
No more will to decide
Desperate actions applied
Lack of lust...

Free
The thought, free as a bird,
sweeping along wide orbits.
But sure, I can sense the fences
in the bottom of the ditch,
beside the orbits,
hidden by the speed.
Blinded...

Ah... Freedom!
Finally.
I, alone, am at the controls.
Finally,
summoning all my courage,
I have reclaimed my power,
to do things my way,
to say whatever...

A Thank You To A Soldier
A soldier when in uniform,
a man beneath the clothes,
he risks his life to fight for peace
in wars he never chose.
He's witnessed things he can't...

Love´s power
You crossed my past on silent feet
a walk on barren moores
To reach my eyes and fill my mind

Depression in The Ground
Wandering
among the gravestones
of my youthful dreams,
I read the markers
mourning each loss.
I come here too often,
neglecting skeletons of hope
that remain.

Blind Faith
It crept upon him like a shadow,
slowly stealing all his light.
Bolts of pain and flash of anger
lead him into constant night.
Cold and empty, feeling bitter,...

Nighttime Poet
In the eerie blue, electric glow
of her computer screen,
she sits alone
typing words no one can hear,
thinking thoughts no one understands,
and dreaming of a time
when she...

Quatrain: Who is that guy?
He lived my life. Who is that guy?
He took my place - and lived a lie.
If early on I'd only known -
then I would not...

The perfect attack
And there were no civilians killed - not even hurt.
Thank God!
But when we took off their uniforms,
for the funeral,
we found fathers, brothers and...

My Inheritance
I came to the land of my ancestors
expecting strangers
but finding instead
men and women
with the same dignity and subtle strength
as my grandparents
I heard musical voices
echoing...

Young as the wind a summer morning
Fresh as the air in early spring
Don't know where I come from or where I'm going
Know...
