"Shimmers"
Shimmers
I wrote a poem, then wrote two and three
None approach the shimmer that I see
Shimmers on the water as I write
The waters remain blurry in the night
Sadness overwhelming or a rage
In which the random waters set the stage
I feel as if I wrote it long ago
The feeling of transcendency, a blow
The ripples in the water settle down
The shimmers leave the image that I found
The pain I feel is only in my heart
The cavalcade is riding to depart
I know not of the presence in the gleam
A lunar ghost is splashing in the stream
Awash the blood goes past the words I deem
I lay upon the waters in a dream
Soaring into heaven as I begin to stall
Heart remains in shatters as I haven't helped at all
That becomes the testament that's leading to the fall
I spiral out, she spirals in, and that remains the call
I haven't helped at all
And, still, these words mean nothing in the end
As all the shimmers try to rip and rend
The rhoetry as is so surely claimed
Leaves the nothingness as still unnamed
I am beginning to despise my rhoetic efforts.

"Intrusion's end"
Intrusion's end
Don't worry my dear
I won't be there
As you take to the stage, once more
Your revel is clear
I'd hate to stare
As you open your heart to the score
Intrusions are ending
But, rhoems are wending
To make of this life what I may
No certainty here
That the ether is clear
But, still, I have something to say
I won't bother your stride
As I take to the ride
In the only way left
Without feeling bereft
'Tis just as it's been in the past
My existence remaining a fast
Something I never have sought
But the will on its own as it fought
Through the willanuck ways that are taught
Excuse me if rhoems are wrought
For you

"Destiny"
Destiny
Destiny is seldom as it seems
From life to life, the love will see extremes
From loving of one lover to another
To loving child for sake of loving mother
A cry across all time for loving of
A soul that cries it's always been in love

"Do I miss you?"
Do I miss you?
As the Earth would miss the sun
Or butterfly its wings
Like sea would miss its water
Or Saturn miss its rings
As the sky would miss the blue
And bee would miss its sting
I've missed you through and through
From that moment in the spring
When your golden voice did sing
And images did ring
The heart did spring

"Bomb squad"
Bomb Squad
Like a skittish colt on Sunday morning
Or, bomb squad just receiving warning
Blood that burns like lava flowing rock
A mind like cheapest jewelry out for hock
Is me in your presence

"Whirlwind"
Whirlwind
In praise of a woman with wonderful eyes
Transforming expressions forever arise
The sweetest component, to ne'er realize
Her songs of the heart mesmerize
My celebration of her heart sustained in will and fire
The lifetimes will be many more, led by my heart's desire
To find new ways to celebrate the loving of that heart
And mesmerizing way she has from finish to the start
The whirlwind of emotions that cascade along her skin
It is my goal to circumvent the armour and the din
"Smooth"
Smooth
Like soft summer showers that light up the skin
Like warm, gentle touch of the loving within
So smooth, like the wash of the sea on the sands
Like jagged chain lightning ignites as it lands
Like two-twenty volts made of satin and lace
Like rockets exploding and gone without trace
The smoothness erupts and the shock comprehends
That loving will last as each heartbeat transcends
"Woman"
Woman
The briskness of a winter morn
The warmth of summer breeze
First light of day as it is born
A sigh among the trees
For Woman
Daffodils in garden growing
Falling leaves of color
Lovely as a freshet Flowing
All of life is fuller
With Woman
The wind that sings from far above
The heart that moves us on
The engine of unending love
That brings about new dawn
You are woman
"Resplendence"
Resplendence
Resplendent in a hurricane of lace
Bedecked in piles of elegance and grace
She walks upon the wind in her attire
To take the steps of life amidst the fire
The wonder of her wizardry, it seems
Is best displayed amongst transcendent dreams
"Sky II"
Sky**
I lay upon a carpet of green grass
Contemplating sky and clouds that pass
As shades of white and blue go through my mind
So like the clouds, I drift along and find
That, once again, my thoughts have turned to you
Obscuring all that falls within purview
Ever-present loving saturates
I ponder thoughts of passion and the fates
Upon the drifting clouds, so soft and fair
Drifts these thoughts of deepest loving care
Heart goes with the clouds upon their travels
As the worried thought of heart unravels
Wind picks up and sighs with thoughts of love
Heart returns with feelings far above
Sun begins to set upon the day
Night begins to fondle interplay
The shining moon reflects your sweet demure
Twinkling stars emerge as feelings stir
Night of summer breeze so slowly passed
Light of newborn day is coming fast
Sun arises with a heartfelt sigh
In radiance of shining clear blue sky
Filling, once again, with love that I
Give back unto the morning's open sky

lost poem
Happy Birthday 2016/(17?)
Crystal ships soar high above and glisten
Angels sigh and songbirds pause to listen
For the day has come
With beating of the drum
Celebration of the day she first
Brought to me a life-fulfilling thirst
As from her lungs the songs, in colours, burst
From that moment on, my beating heart
Responded to the tunes she did impart
For long and long, her glow ne'er came to rest
In journey of the heart made manifest
Trapped beneath the waves, she found her way
But, always, always passion held her sway
The power chained within the hurricane
Drew from heart of mine the depths of pain
She knocked the stuffing right out into staves
Washing all the shores with all She craves
Her glow began in rhythm as she rose above the sea
The pulsing of her heart and glow stir in my memory
A shelter rose within this heart in time of greatest need
In return for dazzlement of wonder do I plead
The blowing of the hurricane transforms
From battering of ships into the storms
To gentle breeze of swaying song
Of loving of a life so strong
Strengthened by the love I have for you
Into a cord of life with loving view
