Always

Sometimes the smell of the wet pavement

Sometimes decaying leaves mix with fossil fumes

Sometimes the hum of the earth is all that is spoken

Sometimes doing everything while accomplishing nothing 

There Is More To This Life

 A child of the sixties and a child almost sixty

Observation over participation...a lonely affair

Demanding distance in cultural climaxes

Entangled in the fringe of unconditional surrender

 

The Song Will Grow Weary

A blanket on the lawn and a whisper in the air

Surrounded by ghosts of what might have been

Conversations unrequited in a garden of dreams

A fading picture and a new roll of film

Pharmacy Keys: Haiku

Truth in front of me

She is everything I need

Nowhere else to be

Dam!

A remedy for all that ails 

Suburban subdivision, solitary solace

A price that affords no one

Preserving protection, painted proposal 

Everything With A Grain

Extinguishing the memories of a past in question

Once the clarity of crystal, now dark with uncertainty

Holding true what may have been the third side to the story

Conversations of resolution occurring only in the mind 

From The Lodge To The Eagle's Nest: '78-'80

The cold undertow as the mist drifts away

A depth to the distant horizon

Staring into history with infinity eyes

Exhale and expel the winds of fear

Another Dragon Down The Hole

Limerickly Speaking: A Tenth Grade Homage

There was a young man from Fort Lauderdale

Whose life truly began in a sale 

Donated by a mother he never knew

Absorbed into a family from where he grew

Instability and self awareness guided the plight

Moving countries and mountains while immersed in the fight

A guest in the family and a holiday decision

A permanent vacation from mutual provision

Parents have passed and the others moved on

The old man from Fort Lauderdale is a family of one

...I'll Have A Heineken: Prologue

Corona with lime from a long ago time

Sunshine and darkness with friends

Corona this time, a census on the sublime

Only hope as the shine fades away
