"Slingshot"



two morning stars
watch the world
of man collide

two lions roar
one paints the sky 
with tears

the other 
thinks it reigns

On one summer night’s boldest game
We hunted and attacked vicious pirates,
Riding on bubble rafts of spokes and rubber
Our young skin caressed by the velvet air;
This mission devoted for an honored Celtic God.
Yielding our mighty wooden...

I had fun brushing the sky, with its impeccable blue,
then a sweep here and there of cloud’s silvery lining.
A few waffled spots amplified the intensity of hue.

Screws lightly driven at the base, release grassy knots.

why yellow flowers
        Are so afraid of the wind...?

Playing hopscotch upon the stars
Planets stare in awe at the child
Capturing the universe in a jar

Lassoing moonbeams, future rays of hope
To illuminate all dark and dreary nights
So his creation finds a way to cope

With Pluto...

Death whispered my name today,
a soft seductive coo in my ear.
Proceeding onward to invade my very soul;
And over my body,
I felt the creeping cold take hold.

I closed my eyes to join the dance,
the romance of...
