~ What She Loved
Was the purity in the lily
Graceful petals
Reaching heaven bound
As porcelain arms in praise
And the twisting winding roses
Traveling the trellis
Scaling the distance
Between roo
t and also heaven bound
Permeating her world,
Her waters seeping sensual oils
Then the wildness of the tiger lily
Growing wild and free
Surviving without tending
The tender touch
of the gardeners hands
Not required,
still exotic the pulsating petals
And the bleeding hearts
Delicate, dainty
drops of colors fused
And the reality represented in the name;
All hearts bleed,
broken by love lacking
Neglected,
fragile petals drop as tears falling
What she loved was beauty
Beauty, in all forms, fashions
And on bended knee
She, the gardener
Singing her songs of praise
In her own garden of delights

Smoke arises from the chimney stack
in billows
from an untended burn.

Corralled in the narrow alley
An incalculable mass of humanity
Drunkenly bumbles and stumbles along,
Skipping in hiccuping rhythm,
Belting (and belching) drinking songs,
With the flow of the fleshy river.

As the conductor takes the stage,
The gentle drone of the audience
Turns to apprehensive, expectant silence
Awaiting the impending down stroke.
But before the ictus,
His rushing lift of the baton
Sends forth a gust of wind,
Chilling the air,
While raising the heat of anxiety.

~ Prose (Part I)
Winter is nipping at Autumns multicolored train, trimmed in gold she rivals the Sun.
This morning she woke with Winters first breath clinging to flora, fauna, her terra firma
Abode, chilled. She longs to continue her flamboyant promenade throughout the countryside, knowing in her wake beauty blooms and eyes behold the brush of Gods hand.

I go through everyday
Turning me into a beautiful butterfly
From the cocoon I’ve been.

When I was young, you were invincible.
You were like Superman, but better
Because I had never seen evidence
Of a Kryptonite that might harm you.
You seemed to effortlessly
hold back the dangerous flood,
And fearlessly protected me
From ever encroaching reality.

I am the rising sun of joy,
the swirling winds of trouble
and the subtle breeze you enjoy
I am the valleys of pain,
the mountains of hope
and the gentle falling of rain
I am the sky full of stars,
the stream of ashes and dust
and the high cliffs decorated in scars

It was raining in Brighton
and, strolling back to the car
parked there in Ann Street
from the centre, not far
We paused to admire
on the wall, ‘cross the way
some graffiti scrawled quickly
but with something to say

A stroll thru the park
Dusk, dew rouses sleepy plants
Natures boquet blooms.

Poetic thoughts glide across my tongue as dainty feet, waltzing a marble floor,
Wrapped in word, my mind soars beyond the either and I surpass self
I am neither here or there, but, suspended between realms; weightless

Loss perched
Perched upon my days
As I walked through life…
Life in a daze
Enduring what could not
Be changed.

Sweet Intrepidity reaching into the depths
Of all I hide, yet all I posses,
Laying bare these fears and suspicions
Collateral damage of volatile visage;
Vast, unbending, Audacity

Just shock, horror, disbelief
And “well doers” seek a smile
Insisting grief is but a little while
But this cannot possibly be true;
