A Poem ... Doorway

 Doorway

Doorway open
To the light
Behind him
Chaos darkest night

Eternal path
Desire strong
Leave the world
Full of wrong

Girding Armor
Drawing sword
He turns his back
On his reward

Plunging headlong
Into the fray
He saves the path
For another day.

A Poem ... African Child

African Child

Termite towers
Rusty red
Empty veld
Heaven’s bed

Lakes dry
Winds blister
Proteas stand
Silent whisper

Different desert
Transplanted soul
African child
Bitter toll

Deadly blizzards
Freezing cold
Yearning now
Days of old

Sunshine captured
Radiates still
Amazing woman
Indomitable will

Where’re she is
Gardens bloom
Warding back
Winters doom.

A Poem ... Mariner Call

Mariner Call

Ancient window
Castle wall
Flowers stand
Bright but small

Garden swing
Empty seat
Bees hum
Ancient beat

Innocent child
Grown old
Fragile, frail
Bitter bold

Ocean whispers
Mariner call
Dreams gather
One and all

Sitting alone
Garden throne
Even the Gnomes
Are all alone.

A Poem ... September Day

September Day 

Blue, blue

Skies of fire

Clouds drift

Heavenly choir

Leaves Wave

Gentle hello

Clover flowers

Bloom below

September Day

Full of bliss

Waiting for

Autumn's kiss

A Poem ... Time Flows

Time Flows

Sunshine descends
Human form
Eyes dance
Electric storm

Stunning smile
Gentle whip
Safe harbor
For any ship

Soul enslaved
Single gaze
Flowers bloom
Summer days

Heart skips
Double beat
Holy Altar
Communion sweet

Time flows
River fast
Love calls
Distant past

Memories appear
Ethereal mist
Last touch
Eternal kiss.

A Poem ... Alberta Summer

Alberta Summer

Dry wind
Dusty grass
Barren yard
Forgotten past

Thirsty drought
Crawls along
Craving moisture
Relentless song

Wasps gather
Massive nest
Magpies scream
Unwelcome guest

Alberta summer
Hot and free
Texas weather
Follows me

Cowboy hats
Pickup trucks
Everybody left
Even ducks.

A Poem ... Haven of Love

 Haven of Love

My tribe dances
Naked with me
During the storm
Unfettered and Free

Our island
Last Refuge
Haven of Love
Safety and Retreat

Entranced by
Rhythmic drums
Gods descend
Join the throng

Never alone
Afraid or Lost
Village Home
I sleep at last.
