Evening Falls
Drifting upon
Lingering dreams.
Plans of youth
Embraced completely
Never have escaping
A firm, steady
Committed grasp.

Haiku
Sleep
Eyelids drop downward.
Gravity’s mammoth power
Wins, against focus.
Heated Souls
Seduced, curving flesh,
Muscle sinew, bones and skin
Lust birthed from an arc.
Live YOUR Life
Live only your life
For there is not time enough
For both of our dreams.
Weapons
My arsenal: immense.
Words, written and spoken,
Mightier than swords
And, perhaps, other weaponry.
A verbal quiver; a thing
Of might!
Fireworks
Clouds flickering bright
For a moment, each color
Too fast for dreaming.
Lighting Upon My Gaze
Light flickers
Dancing upon lidded eyes.
Glowing life filters through,
Specifics blurred to dreams.
Hints of reality loiter
Carried upon tone and echo.
Demanding call of vacant
Ringing. Summers and friends
Long vanished.
Dusty eddies carry off
All hints of their
Existence.
Modern Life
Tunneling in to this thing called life.
Puzzling singularly of activity and focus.
Dreams fade as fast as old friends.
Birthing the regrets of calm reflection.
Nighttime Gaze
Facing starry night
Feeling dreams unfolding, lights,
Gently blowing winds.
Unilateral,
These choices, by their nature
Are unjust. Power.
