In the mist, down a lane, off the well beaten path,

through the weeds, to the dark water’s edge.

Two shadows emerge, draped in netting and wire,

despair and hope hanging low on their nets.

An old fishing pole strapped to the back of a boat,

with a waterlogged…

A Life Well Lived, And A Timeless Love (in honor of my folks)

Lemon drops and cherry trees

bright blue skies, a summer breeze.

Remembering all those kisses sweet

captured now as memories

*

I hold you captive in my heart

so where I go, you go

There Is Life On The Other Side:

You brag about giving but you take what you can

you pretend to be strong, a virtual superman

may not be for me

Once desired and loved

soon discarded and lost

When push came to shove

you got out at all costs

They write better than you

she was half his age

You write what…

it’s not easy — reliving an unconsolable form.

I’ve spent many years trying to capture my Zen,

memories serve only to increase the adrenaline.

I fight…
