Droplets of delight
dearest to my sight
of snowflake wrought to rain
hopes springing out refrain.
Brimming bucket of bodies bellows
left to pump to faculties and fellows.
Song so small only silence is attendant
to listen with mind and heart dependent
on being stirred but stirring not a stranger,
fear of freezing up- the danger.

Dream
Out of body
Indifferent
Clouded reason
Sighing slumber
Numb as lead
I lie in bed
02/20/11
Wait with me one hour
but off you fall to dreams
could you not tarry with me longer
his words become our own
and dream we see revision
feeling our own small pangs
we ask an angel to abide
tried a night not known
but mutter, stutter strains
pains not found in words-
yea, words to weak to speak
of creation of any kind
logos lost in beginning or end
living with loss and faith defend
02/21/11
Smitten
Glances, laughter, hesitation
Little nothing, forgotten as spoken
Standing eyes stationed, ready
Mindless movement, miscellaneous
Guarding glimpse, defended
Confidence confirmed, calming
Cast away confinement
Fluid form becomes the norm

Woman
Adornment is the ornament of thy attire
Liar I would be to deny desire
Aspiring to find favor first and forevermore
Standing by your door
For more of your decor, I implore
To be but a bellhop by such an entrance
Sentence me to serve and slave away
All while my heart will stay
Stray? Nay, I will work while it is day
For night makes right the fight
For light outlines the door
Where my heart knocks poor
Loving is a chore I adore
My walls hang nothing but a thought
my chair, desk and bed are nothing to be sought
hot air in summer, cold in winter
doubt seems stuck like a splinter
I wonder where another chair could be
my room could fit another, I see
making my meal for a meager one
this head bows and asks thy will be done
Lying alone wondering unknown
Tomorrow will end sorrow
Borrow belief as I slip into sleep
What thoughts sow, will I reap
02/25/11
Forget
Greatest joy I have in thee
Forever discover
Return, revise, but unremembered
Clouding but not confusion
Mist, like bliss, blinds my burden
Blinking, thinking, waking up to you
Pour forth praises without pardon
Splashing splendidly in air of understatements
See, sea sailing, stand right about the railing
Coming, going, of course my course gone corse
But clues I choose to riddle over
Biding with the tide, the froth of foam I feel
Residing, receding, revolving, absolving
Sea, see, seeing you I know in one, two, true
You are you, while I and eye, cry
I know not why but how I try
There is this she and one, I, me
This my greatest joy in finding thee

We Are Many
Oh man without the why
Fickle is thy cry
Legions leave whilst unto this thought thou dost cleave-
Afraid to trade traditions tale
Asking others to set sail on thy sale
Fail with ridicule and rail
Some swine died in water, true
And a man walked at peace, due to who?
Thou could not perceive
And so thou didst not receive
But had taken from thy greatest sum
And given to another because he hailed his brother
Usury is not foolery
What's wrong with swine
Thy hoofs of air, of err are fine
Pearl, not what thou sought
Nor were thou willing to be caught
But fought like fishes agains the hook
Which thou mistook
For switching thy thought, thought thou him a crook
For he took thy mouth and kept it closed
Afraid to die, to sleep, to doze
Dreary must it be, to give up the tongue of thee
Gutted of thyself, thou wouldst not be
Because it was not what thou didst want to see
