​Early this morning I fervently vowed to write every day the rest of my life …

Hopefully I will die later this afternoon ...

stealthily crouched in grass to my knee

waiting to jump 
that bloodthirsty flea

sensing all motion as victims will pass
silently striking
my leg or dog's ass

subtle at first the terrible itching
scratching accelerates
my pain and loud bitching

quickly flea flies and hides out of reach
uncontrollable irritant
making me screech

suddenly it ceased quick as it started
I stood there perplexed
thinking he'd parted

but there on my wrist I spotted a motion
flea was there writhing 
causing commotion

jumping and kicking and twirling was he
agonized torment
plain as could be

he'd forgotten this host in his own pain
something took more
than my blood gave gain

I peered closely at my attacker
smiling when I realized 
what was on Facker

gently I placed him down on the ground
walked away whistling
as he twirled round and round

I believe he screamed "Don't leave me Please!"
but I never looked back
'cause my flea had fleas

Happy Song

​reverberating in my ears
song sung just for me
there is no title to the tune
which flows from distant tree

I did not see the feathered singer
from whom the music came
but the message was clear as I stood and listened
while joy of freedom rang

a bit of food .. a place to land
blue sky to soar and soar
reminding this simple man
less is always more

If one were to address an egg in the following manner:

"Hey you, almost a chicken!"

Do you think the egg would be upset?

Wonder

​Do you wonder
why you are here
what you should do
the very purpose of your existence .. ?

Do you wonder
if there is more
hidden within
waiting for you to awaken and release .. ?

Do you wonder
if angst is necessary
part of the path
leading to joyfulness .. ?

Do you wonder
what debilitating power 
methodically inhibits
   bursts of creative process .. ?

Wonder no more
we all dance together
seeking unknowns with
 frenetic perfection

Within the Song

Primal rhythm
creates pulsating air
becomes one with us 
as we breathe it in
as it strokes our bodies
exterior and interior 
gathering all who feel it
as the drummer plays

Bass joins in
syncopated with drummers hands
enhancing the beat
musical vibrations
attached to every low
incomparably
stimulating
note

Then the story
 expressive 
ethereal incantations of
guitar
keyboard
horns
toys
and the singer's soul

Now we dance
perfectly entwined 
moment of beauty
players and listeners
become one
harmonious
loving heartbeat
within the song

Strutting
proudly displaying obesity
flaunting disdain for discipline
wearing angry arrogance upon faces
attached to the entitled

Rivers of oil
oceans of plastic
faux food which kills as it sustains
air unfit for human consumption
but ain't we cool in our new cars

Our future is bright
for we are the intellect
created superior to all else
we can destroy
then recreate nature in our own selfish image

Our barren globe 
devoid of all current life forms
will be populated by incredible domes
water domes  air domes
bio-chemical food domes .. yum

In one dwelling dome
hope
within a child's heart
as eyes of tears
​gaze at the last photo of a lone flower

Needy Writer's Logic

Two months plus
no written word 
nor eloquent spellbinding tale

Smiling to the mirror
declaring 
"this soul ain't for sale"

Pride of no accomplishment
protects
poor fragile me

Truth of 
non-productive time 
simply too much to see

Then through the air
comes flying
text from a dear old friend

"Is everything ok?"
she asks
"I've not seen your words since when"

Typical of tortured souls
wishing greatness 
from our fingers

Her thought touched me
deep within
where  creative spirit lingers

One would think
I'd get to work
ending this Writing Sedentary

"But why?"  I ask
"I must already be great ..
her words were beyond complimentary!"

​Clear 
as space between stars 
on perfect evenings ..
as mountain stream waters
pulsating smoothly downward

Pure
individual gift ..
ignoring ego
dismissing all need to please others
courageously expressing self

Every exhalation 
authentic
unique ..
exclusively found
 Within

Symbiotic Forgiveness

6/9/2019

​
Wherever you are
Whatever you do
I think of you

You ..
entity who receives
from We

You .. 
labyrinth of memories given by We
painted with multitudinous emotion

You ..
shaped by the actions of We
creative and destructive

wearing scars and lipstick
proof of cruelty
testament of love

You ..
creation of light
slowly etched by reality

You are We
​We are You
recipients and givers every one

We affect one another
with our actions
perfect and tainted

Upon awakening
new behavior must be enhanced
by our humble requests of forgiveness

We are 
creations
of one another

You ..
are the mirror 
of My action

My tears fall
as shattered pieces of glass lie in the dirt of time
please forgive me

I 
now give You
what I wish to reflect for eternity 

Wherever you are
Whatever you do
I think of you

With 
Love
Forever
