So thirsty for the water of good
That a parched blind beggar
Settled instead for mud
Fraternal twins, one carrying, the other caring
Searching and driving each other's onward tread
Pearls strewn about shoulds and shouldn’ts
Black and white in the fertile seabed
Passing by there many a time
To stare and gloat and brood
Hoping in the heart to catch
A hopeful glimpse of purest mood
Or something else to make one mad
But like a river you elude any capture
The eyes disciplined like a soldier
Drawn scouting onward like a seagull
After crabs in the green sea’s sandy shoulder
Page after page scrolling ever downward
Desire deep within ebbs away at the soul
Turning shallows quixotic, beauty, then scoundrel
Till one should watch over and heal the other’s hell
But time and season can ne’er abide
So outmatched are they by a gaping hole
A life force not directly satisfied
A story not to be finished or told
As sunlight reflects and fragments blinding
Downcast upon foaming deep darkest sea
To raise up the mists and clouds above
Sating the earth below with dewy greenery
The lofty lowly self holds the ups and downs of life’s blood
Sometimes spent for naught, but overall meant for good
Not power’s thirst, conquest’s boasts nor bleeding greed
But for the giving of one’s life instead
Laboring in the fields of love’s fertile seed

Haiku x9 - with audio
audio link
Softly lay one down
Ears caressed, wind's whispers speak
White Autumn Blossoms
The cackling hens
Could not take away the peace
Of calm fall water
Sunshine overhead
Shady morning trees walking
October birdsong
Twin Pines sparrows flight
Standing in the morning light
Pumpkins, Autumn bright
Fall rain, sun's sharp rays
Butterfly quivering fade
Floral horizon
A sliver of peach
Cool against purple abyss
Autumn moon silence
Blind hidden sorrow
Dried up joy melting the heart
Silent winter tears
The more pure love is
Less faults in the heart to find
Early comes the Spring
Little pretty one
Laid low in stormy showers
Summer Rose standing
Softly lay one down
Ears caressed, wind's whispers speak
White Autumn Blossoms
The cackling hens
Could not take away the peace
Of calm fall water
Sunshine overhead
Shady morning trees walking
October birdsong
Twin Pines sparrows flight
Standing in the morning light
Pumpkins, Autumn bright
Fall rain, sun's sharp rays
Butterfly quivering fade
Floral horizon
A sliver of peach
Cool against purple abyss
Autumn moon silence
Blind hidden sorrow
Dried up joy melting the heart
Silent winter tears
The more pure love is
Less faults in the heart to find
Early comes the Spring
Little pretty one
Laid low in stormy showers
Summer Rose standing

Writing - with audio

Writing is a type of mania
But without those less desirable
side affects of other self indulgent
behaviors. It helps one to shed the
straight jacket and washes cool
The burning fires of the soul
Refreshing ever those musty places
Trapped deep within
Giving voice to
Subterranean soundings.

FOX
The fox once caught
Will try to convince
His captor that he
Is the one ensnared
PIG FOR A STY
A pig for a sty
A ring for his nose
A laborer wallowing
In food, drink and mud
A slaughter
OLD BEAR
The old bear
Will not leave the trash
Unless shot
He dies a slow
Ugly death
Yet allow him to live
Again and Again
To the trash he goes
Close by the house
Until one day
A life is taken
THE COCK CROWS
The cock crows
Nudged by the unseen
So that the world
Might know
That all
Have been cared for
During the night
A LION'S LIFE
A lion's life
Full of pride
Is a lonely life
Swimming In The Tides - with audio
audio link
Death comes soon enough
No need to sit and wait
One block falls another is set in its place
A baby is born an old man dies
Swimming in the tides
Is not a task of leisure
It is however one way
of telling the live fish
from the dead

The greatest plagues
Attack not the body
But the mind
Memory is a dancer
Just beyond my reach
So, I am learning to dance
The greatest plagues
Attack not the body
But the mind
Memory is a dancer
Just beyond my reach
So, I am learning to dance
Epigram Trio Plus One - with audio

The man undressed
Is distressed
Teachers seldom do
What they teach others to
(ON COMPUTERS)
The green grass won't grow
Where the green glass glows
Life is a serial to be consumed
Once it is eaten the diet has bloomed.

DESIRE ASK ASCEND
Food loses its flavor
When there is no one
To share it with
As stones are for skipping
So words are for winning
The heart of a lovesick soul
The biggest mountains
Are climbed one step
At a time
