Dreams Within DreamsWhen reality haunts my dreams, night or day,
I dream it away.
Fantasy fuels my imagination;
tempting temptation.

no sins to forgive.
My mind projects the reflection of a dream;
in a silent...

INNER FREEDOMLeaping from the nest of isolation
Soaring without a set destination
Force of the wind lifts me up high
Flapping my precious wings in the sky
Sometimes slowly spinning while I glide
Letting my inner compass be my guide
Its the...

Porcelain FaceThere once was a Marm with a dripping cold
Whose bright idea she feared would unfold:
Her deep scribed porcelain face
Was far harder to replace
Then a soaked sink her plumber could not hold.

Buyer's RemorseSimply complex - sign on the dotted line - no questions asked....
A heartbeat of thrilling intuition- a perfect fit without hesitation...
Not a moment to ponder - hurried by the mighty dollar
And from the distant morning...

THREE SIDES OF image in a mirrorMirror on the wall,
what do you reflect,
A simple image, trying to look pretty,
Or a self-righteous image,
or a deception of the soul.
In the simple image,
Beauty adores itself in front of...

Decorate The DeadAtop a cold breeze,
Jack Frost inks the trees.
etching pigments on each leaf;
orange, gold, and red,
decorate the dead;
in colors beyond belief.
It's silent at dawn;
the songbirds have gone.
Painted leaves litter the ground
swirling in the air,
falling everywhere;
like confetti...

distorted imageSitting quietly with iPad in hand,
we allow musings of soul to arise
and although our mind does not understand,
it reflects all hues of offered surprise,
penning a poem before the ink dries,
the influx of grace, ineptly portrayed,

His Feathered Image
Silently, he stood on the edge of a mirrored pool
For breakfast, he'd have to do a bit of wading
The egret's feathered image I wanted to capture
among wild cattails at this early morning hour.
He seemed...

Stardust on Autumn LeavesThe air feels nippy as the night stretches,
adjusting itself to fit Fall.
Silence replaces the songbirds' sweet songs;
while wailing winds
compose a dirge for Summers's death.
And in the cold of night,
Jack Frost sprinkles stardust on Autumn leaves,

As Spiders in a Web
Threads trembling
the pulse of a dying star.
Silver veins stretched thin
the twin sparks of an oncoming car!
Fragile as a lie whispered at midnight
the air crackles stillness
a map of hunger, waiting…
Of beauty so precise it bleeds
eyes like...

And what may come back is unknown to thee
For beyond the horizon is a field...

God is not in his heavenAs he has lost his way
And we’re all his figments
of his imagination
Lost in the hidden
sea of sorrows
were shadows dwell
We wander into infinity
Following trails of cosmic dust
Finite and afraid
We sit in...

Winter Approacheswinter approaches
snowflakes tumble from the sky
a sprinkle of white
As brisk breezes scatter leaves around,
Autumn colors confetti the ground.
Winter winds howl through barren branches
shaking off any remaining leaves.
Mother Nature is in transition;
stripping the scenery yet again.
