Tear on cheek

The tear appears

it is wet

thank God

he hasn't seen it

yet

"Daddy what you thinkin'?"

"Oh, nothing son" - as I hang up the phone - almost undone


His observation

so

right

so

true

proves

he is the perfect one.


"Daddy, did you hear what I said?"

"Yes, boy - I did.
Yes, it's very sad -
my friend is dead."

"But Daddy, ... he wasn't old.
He was just like you.
He smoked and drank
and all that too ...
Hey Daddy?
Daddy?
Could your heart stop too?"

To Render a Voice that is true...

To render

a voice true

the one

that really

speaks

of

and

for

you

- impossible?



Mayhaps -

mayhaps not?

Is There Anything More Insane Than A February Rain?

Hey Weather Jester!
Predictable and cold, is the way it should be.

Snow and wind, that's all for me.

Predictable cold where you gone?
Gods are doing us both a wrong.

Weather Jester what you up to now?
With this rain, noon and night?
My umbrella's packed away ... outta sight

Is this a cruel joke to make me laugh?
Or is it just another climactic gaffe?

Weather Jester, please fill me in;
As unseasonable rain is such a sin.
Wet and dank I know not what to do with rain ... in February ...
that makes me blue.

Oh, Sickly Child

Oh, Sickly Child could not you see
The bucket I placed by my knee

Oh, Sickly Child as I held your head
Did you have to turn it towards your bed

That first upchuck was big - God knows -
Hitting your pillows, blankets
and then your toes

But Sickly Child did you have to then
Turn back to me and do it again?

Oh, Sickly Child could you not see the bucket by my knee?

Merciful Sleep

Merciful sleep, where are you?
Busy again?
I suppose.
Merciful sleep, come to me, before I must repose?

Now we both know you`ve been untrue,
Bedding others and leaving me alone.
Merciful sleep, I need a rest that is deep
Please call and tell me you'll be here soon.

Merciful sleep, come tuck me in, ...

I've been waiting my whole life!

Whipping Wind-Chill, I Welcome Thee!

Whipping wind-chill I welcome thee?
Ball-numbing cold is all for me.

Biting bastard, freeze my cheek,
Frozen snot, I will leak.
Watery eyes, frozen now,
No big deal, ahead I plow.

Don't mind you much,
You're not so tough,
Least you're not sucking blood & stuff.

Whipping wind-chill I embrace.
Better than a 'squito on my face.

Come summer, when bugs are out,
I'll long for thee
I'll miss your frigid apogee.

Whipping wind-chill thanks a lot,
I do so much like licking my frozen snot!

My Beauty

Morning to moonlight you rule my mind’s eye…

Morning to moonlight you are with me…

Morning to moonlight and all points in between,

You are what I sense, you are what dream

Sleepless eve,

Restless night,

Raining morn’

Or snowy white …

I want you always,

Night, morning & noon.

Not your body,

Not your sex,

Just your love & whatever you bless me with next.

My soft sacred soul, no words will do…

I can only hope it is enough

That I love you.
