perfection

your love is perfection
a confection I can not live without
sweeter than anything
I have ever or will ever taste

this union flies a flag
our castle surrounded
by a treacherous moat
to keep infringement away

I will dwell in this love
forever; in the arms of bliss
kissed by angels
and blessed by God

one love ended

one love ended
suddenly
one sigh
one last breath
no fanfare
closing your eyes
you just slipped away

more

the warning shot was for your protection
the concealed carry for mine
a total waste of ammo
no discharge heard
spent casings falling to earth

not unlike
words tumbling on deaf ears
cautionary discretion
on your part
I always wanted more

more time

never a beggar, or one to plead
never a borrower or lender you see
but, and this is a big one please
I want more time for you and me

I need to spend the rest of my days
being with you in every way
I don't care if debts aren't paid
I'm determined--can't be swayed

here in the autumn of my years
I've put to bed those nagging fears
happiness without the tears
envied by each and every peer

stay with me, and I avow
to live in the here and in the now
and each night, when my head I bow
thanks for every second allowed

At Bay

This tumultuous relationship 

With it's ups and downs 

Is wearing down my spirit 

Not what I thought I'd found 

A difference of opinion 

Not feeling the same way 

Very loving sometimes 

And then I'm held at bay 

The time I have invested 

Seems like a one way street 

Getting nothing from your side 

Indifference when we meet 

So now I reconsider 

Take back the love I gave 

I think that you could care less 

There's nothing here to save

The Tree

the tree has been cut down 

the one we played around when we were kids

the one with our tree house 

the tree stood there for decades 

shading the lawn, the sidewalk, 

its shadow spilling into the street 

the tree was a gentle reminder 

of days gone by

of our childhood and innocence 

the tree that would shed it’s leaves 

of brown and gold and orange 

every fall 

the tree that said, 

you can go home again

although things won't look or be the same 

the tree may be gone 

my memories of you are still here 

locked in my heart, my mind, and soul

Your Last Hurrah

This is the last go around 

Your last hurrah 

Make it count 

One last chance 

To prove you have what it takes 

To win me over 

Time and time again 

You have failed 

Miserably 

Can you turn it all around?

Do you have what it takes? 

Prove it!

Captive Heart

Thoughts of you keep playing back 

Resounding in my brain 

Things you said and things you did 

For ever will remain 

Times we are together 

Moments of pure bliss 

Loving, tender, passionate 

Never been loved like this 

You know just how to touch me

Like no one ever could 

Whispering words I love to hear 

Intentions understood 

When you are not here with me

I still can feel you near 

Close my eyes, reliving you 

Willing you to appear 

My heart is being held captive 

A prisoner in your care 

Surrendering all I have to give 

No effort needed here 

Come unlock this captured heart 

You have the only key 

Come and work your magic 

Nirvana waits for me

no crying

She remembered facts. Not only the facts but the details involved, and what she was doing at the time. She had them all categorized, filed away in her memory bank, all tabs open. Not unlike the many lines from movies that she referenced from time to time in her every day life,' She was always ready, armed and dangerous. Ready to take the safety off.

She looked deep in his eyes, listening to everything said. When it was her turn to speak, she responded slowly, "There's no crying in baseball (A League Of Their Own").

books

like a good book, though I know every line
because I have read it so many times
I know the start, and how it will end
reading it's like, a long lost friend

the story doesn't change, though I want it to
parts make me happy and others make me blue
looking for answers, here deep in a phrase
sometimes things don't work that way

still, once started, I read it through
some parts forgotten, or once misconstrued
always new meaning I find on each page
until it is done and I put it away

Driving Haiku Part Deux

I get pulled over

flashing lights are a bad sign

not my mind that raced!

Travesty?

I got caught here in a travesty 

this game you’re playing is tough 

You're skilled at this charade

I know I’ve had enough 

Captured by your sweetness 

The attention that you paid 

Sucked in by flirtation 

I should have turned away

Now it's too late to leave you

I've way too much invested 

Heart and soul and body 

It’s too late to contest it

I’ll hold on till the finish 

See how it plays out 

This game isn't working

I still have my doubts 

You show no signs of cracking 

You play the game straight through 

Looking for your weakness 

None I see from you 

You say the games are over 

And love you do declare 

Can I trust your feelings?

Are you playing fair?

I want to love you fully 

With all I have to give 

As long as you are honest 

I'll hold on till the end

No Boundaries

Like the tide flowing over the sandy shores 

Your love engulfs me 

Touching every part 

Like a blazing fire on a cold day 

Your love ignites my passion 

In ways I never knew possible 

Like a cozy cabin in the mountains 

Your love shelters and protects 

Keeping me safe 

Like a bird that soars 

Your love sets no boundaries 

And yet there isn't anywhere I want to go 

Not without you

sleep

you knew, once gone, I would be fine
never crossing over the fine, thin line
each and every freakin' time
I am fine...I am fine

you closed your eyes, but not in sleep
happens quick; the reasons deep
up the mountain tall and steep
you closed your eyes, but not in sleep

angels take you high above
leaving all you truly loved
on the wings of snow white doves
angels take you high above

do you visit from the clouds
stirring breezes all around
did you think we let you down
do you visit from the clouds

wondering about what could have been
in this smoky liars den
trying not to commit to sin
wondering about the could have been

one child walks in celestial light
the other wonders in the night
tried to keep them in my sights
one child walks in celestial light

someone

I moved on to greener pastures
that stretch for miles and miles
sun shines bright upon my days
nighttime makes me smile
no longer blue, no hidden hues
that creep into my soul
you may not understand this
but he has made me whole

no longer do I fit in
that little, tiny peg
more to me than meets the eye
an overflowing keg
if you had looked much deeper
if it wasn't all about you
all that I presented
was God's almighty truth

someone saw the light in me
how brightly it does shine
someone saw the love in me
and knew it wasn't a line
someone wanted everything
all that I could give
someone gives it back to me
here, where I now live

gone with the wind

every now and again
when the wind is blowing just right
I hear the music playing
like it did our very first night
maybe it's just the mesquite
or the call of the nightingale
but I know I can hear it
and I think I always will

when the clouds are forming
in the morning sky
I think I see you looking
with those crystal clear blue eyes
and if I squint mine tightly
I think I catch your wink
maybe it just the sun's glare
or you're closer than I think

I can smell the raindrops
and all the flowers that bloom
I can hear the music
that I first heard with you
I can hear you singing
in that perfect pitch
I still get the feeling
that there's much more to this

no longer are there messages
that you once used to text
my phone no longer ringing
and this I truly miss
while you're slaying your dragons
mine won't leave me alone
you don't miss what you don't have
'cause you're not coming home

many things left incomplete
the papers are stacking up
no longer sharing coffee
you took your favorite cup
dust settled on the floorboards

with all you left behind
I could see our future
but I think you were blind

I can smell the raindrops
and all the flowers that bloom
I can hear the music
that I first heard with you
I can hear you singing
in that perfect pitch
I still get the feeling
that there's much more to this

my BFF

we've been friends 

for so many years

shared lots of laughter

shed many tears

told each other stuff

for only our ears

coached, when we needed

raised glasses in cheers

you are my Thelma

and I'm your Louise

and when we're together

there's never unease

seems like we've always been

thick as thieves

always fun

up one of our sleeves

whether near

or miles apart

you are buried

deep in my heart

counting on you

right from the start

you my dear friend

are a true work of art!

trick

The kiss was of passion
Desire, hot and strong
painting a  memory
Long after you're gone
And when we parted
I thought nothing had changed
Our hearts seemed bound
For something long range

We talked of things
Long into the night
Holding and caressing
Exploring delight
But a kiss of deception
Still holds a lie
abruptness of the ending
cuts deeply inside

A kiss of betrayal
a bond came unwound
The last kiss received
was you letting me down
not even gently
but deadly and quick
your sleight of hand
was not a good trick

fraud

the author, a fraud, in many ways
stealer of will, in fortuitous craze
for many nights and as many days
he went out in one big blaze

he would say, a teller of truth
not about him--all about you
he left many singing the blues
I was just another muse

laughing, as he tells his tale
one that I knew very well
I didn't win but didn't fail
heading out when it turned stale

I hung on for far too long
while he sang his country songs
was I right or was I wrong
like cologne, he's much too strong

and so this fraud reaps what he sewed
now it seems like long ago
I thought I loved him, I don't know
he just wanted away from snow

lost sins

you ran the border, hurdled the wall
an alien intruding sacred halls
pillaging, looting, much ignored
breaking down the padlocked door

taking it all but wanting still more
knapsack full of all you scored
not quite ready or about to to leave
you had more tricks up your sleeve

you played a queen and yet I trumped
my ace more like a small speed bump
try as you could to wedge your foot
you thought that I would always stay put

I defended my walls the best I could
my fortress strong, my words made good
try as you might, you can't come in
still paying for your long lost sins

I told you once, we would all go
you ignored what I foretold
truth wins out, as the lies wane
and you fade into yesterday

al that I need

I believe in sunsets
dawn of new days
phases of the moon
hedging my plays
too many tabs
open in my mind
the time I wasted
that made me blind

I believe in coffee
many, many cups
erasing the grogginess
when I first get up
filling up with petrol
when a quarter tank low
shedding the past
a new life in tow

I believe in miracles
and all that you are
whether you're here
or have traveled afar
you make me the best
that I could be
together unstoppable
you're all that I need

never look back

she smiled the kind meant only for him
returned by what is now a blur
she looked into eyes  both vacant and cold
what he saw spoke volumes in hers

her thoughts were plentiful, all of them rhymed
his were his own, disingenuous at best
he wrote ideas that excluded her love
she wrote wishes that were not blessed

when last they parted, she knew they were done
he speculated that they'd always go on
to continue a future as friends with a past
she went her way; never looked back

unsigned text sent to keep her confused
not how it works, she is more amused
she told him all would abandon some day

but she was first to get clean away

another time

in the woods by a large lake
amongst grey wolves and rattlesnakes
with heavy rocks that make your bed
where you'd want to lay your head

buried deep without remorse
it really was my only course
it's where you said you'd want to stay
wouldn't want it another way

your head lays soft on leaves and pine
it's rather like a lost love shrine
I visit once in a great while
feeling the breeze which is your smile

trout swim happy in their pool
you can see the many schools
unable to drop that one last line
that was from another time

love looks good on me

my friends say I look different
have I changed my hair?
is that a brand new shirt?
or am I dressing with new flair?
they don't know the half of it
if they looked deep they'd see
it's the love I feel inside
that looks so good on me

it's not my Calvin Klein
or my new Michael Kors
it's not Vera Wang
it's the heart that once was yours
shining from deep within
with everything I wear
your love looks good on me
and that's what makes them stare

olly, olly oxen free

we rattled the windows
then scared the dog
running naked
in the hall
playing games
of hide and seek
but what we hide
ain't for the weak

laughing so hard
we almost cry
I touch yours
and you touch mine
olly, olly, oxen free
I love these games
'tween you and me

in tact

I took a pass
what little you offered
not nearly enough
what I wanted--needed
was an abundance
not just a little,
however well intended
still....
not enough, or even close

so, I sit here on my ranch
horses running free
like me
running from what was
or not meant to be
relishing the fact
that I got clean away
grace in tact
heart healed

you circle back
from time to time
not understanding that
what you thought
would last forever...
that you knew me that well
when in fact,
if you remember,
you didn't know me at all

grateful heart

thankful and blessed with all I have
belly full and loved ones about
laughing with friends, my heart is full
I take in what I give out

sun sets early, moon shines bright
weather warm, a patio dine
prepared food by hearts that give
mulling it over with fine white wine

every night before I sleep
I thank the Lord for all received
naming each with grateful heart
I wouldn't change a single thing

debris

you burned your bridge to light your path
not worrying about the aftermath
debris falls thickly all around
you knee deep on tilted ground

I guess you thought you could get by
the smoke and mirrors that you supplied
the sleight of hand another trick
you thought that it was pretty slick

manipulations, I see through
I played along to bolster you
but, however, I wasn't blind
knew I'd leave when I had time

the years have come and gone so quick
I don't miss what wouldn't fit
you gave up more than you could know
in your childish rush to go

nothing

Nothing compares with the feeling I get

The sound of your voice, 

the gleam in your blue eyes 

And that smile

I melt from your touch

Putty in your hands

That's me

No, nothing could ever compare

To what I've found

This life we share

Nothing could ever compare

To you

naming names

a good poem, talks in rhyme
you say it doesn't, that's just fine
generic reasons, draw them in
people think, it's all about them

a good poem, makes people think
smearing pages with dry ink
not a waste from where I sit
think the thoughts, make them fit

the one behind the slammed shut door
won't see themselves, in metaphors
but I write them just the same
without fault or naming names

put away

day after day turns into a month
three years in and we're still broke
tried to tell you how it'd be
before I left and set you free

time after time, the chances piled
in the corner dirty and worn
no mending that can fix this mess
it's just life, a great big test

we danced once and had some fun
dizzy from a board of tiles
one was truer, more than you
dancing better than you do

music ends, the partners leave
dance card full of better things
I told you it would come to this
and I was something that you'd miss

midwest summers come to end
winter comes and freezes it
in the mountain shadowed days
all those thoughts I've put away

the weight

I told you the day would come
the time would be right
not that I made light of it
thinking seriously
the pros and cons
the highs and lows
(although, you would state
no provocative reason
for the decision)

snip, snip, snip
I cut the tie
that long distant cord,
connecting, slender tether
gone...

proceeding forward,
heart--light
weight--gone
smiling and happy
with my choice

when the wind is blowing just right
I hear the music playing
like it did our very first night

promise to keep

she wanders the house

from room to room

moonlight shines

in the dark gloom

a mist of a girl

from long ago

gone is everyting

she use'd to know

she checks on the family

all sound asleep

ponders, remembers

memories that seep

all faded now

like flowers that die

but when they sweep over

she mournfully cries

dawn breaks the clouds

she goes through the wall

doesn't know she's a spirit

she doesn't recall

eternity of guarding

the family that sleeps

this is her bidding

her promise to keep

tender

you didn't need to answer
I already knew
that they were fools
for letting you go
taking away
more than what you offered
which was everything
crushing your soul
in the process
giving not much
of themselves
selfish, they were
I will tender
more than what is asked
subtracting any heartache
investing my love
with immense returns
in our future

shake it off

there's more to being a cowboy
than living way out west
wearing those wrangler jeans
and that funny, fringed suede vest
your Ariat cowboy boots
that white, straw cowboy hat
there's more to being a cowboy
we'll just see about that

you're never riding the range
don't even own a horse
that's not all it takes
I know this of course
you know nothing of roping
or how to dog a steer
those funny midwest ways
have made this very clear

you can call us ma'am
from morning until dusk
you can talk to cactus
while you're shaking off the dust
you can sing those country songs
with lyrics you don't know
but you are not a cowboy sir
you need to let that go

you stand in my corner

coin toss

what happens now?
your future love secure
the shadow laying dormant
and the door left ajar
successful in separating
the fact from the fiction
without delving too deep
and causing more friction

one heart secure
the other wild and free
one strokes your mind
the other stokes your needs

you finally read the book
from cover to cover
solve all the mystery
see what's uncovered
the choice always yours
as you flip the quarter
is it heads or tails?
is it friend, is it lover?

one heart secure
the other wild and free
one strokes your mind
the other stokes your needs

wait and see

bright and shiny, like a new penny
strong and bitter like day old coffee
some say that, we're not better off
I say let's just wait and see

one can win, always a loser
there is nothing that you can do
root for one, despise the other
I say let's just wait and see

don't draw a line too deep in sand
don't turn your back on what we need
wait for the reason, before you scoff
I say let's just wait and see

healing may take a long time to come
what we need isn't that far off
I'm on board with ticket in hand
I say let's just wait and see

coffee

as soon as it hits my bloodstream
my thoughts organize
the fog lifts from my brain
I am awake
my hands twitch
after the third
I don't care!
where would I be
if I didn't have
this magnificent
morning drug
a pick me up in the afternoon
a rev my engine miracle
ah, coffee!

the best thing

You were wearing a yellow shirt
sit next to me and we start to flirt
my favorite bar in my favorite town
life was dull before you came around

you're the best thing  I've ever done
two is better than only just one
I guess I knew right from the start
you'd be the one to steal my heart

my leg accidently touches your knee
a current of violent electricity
ravages my body and you feel it too
my mind spinning in this crowded room

you're the best thing that I've ever done
two is better than only just one
I guess I knew right from the start
you'd be the one to steal my heart

I'm at a loss, should have known how'd be
truth be told, it's a two way street
I must admit I  don't understand
why I lose my head even holding your hand

you're the best thing that I've ever done
two is better than only just one
I guess I knew right from the start
you'd be the one to steal my heart

There's no explanation, or simple excuse
For intoxication I feel around you
during the day and from dusk till dawn
every month and all year long

you're the best thing that I've ever done
two is better than only just one
I guess I knew right from the start
you'd be the one to steal my heart

all about you

it wasn't food I was hungry for
it was something with no calories
you would have expended them though
it was food for thought I needed
and as usual, I got what I wanted
thoughts as deep as Voltaire,
mind games
I can play them with the best
but you...you took my thoughts
tossing them aside as fruitless
nothing to do with you
when in fact, it WAS about you
always; every time;
all about you

very, very

if I had one cent
each time you said "I love you"
I would be wealthy

and more

you are my morning song
my evening prayer
the day to day wish
what I needed,
longed for;
hoped
wishes can come true
dreams become reality
all of this
I have with you
and more
