I wore out a tea bag today.
Sometimes I wonder about intention.
I think about amen.
Wish it was balmy, breezy, and mild,
and days that float would get caught on a river rock
for just a while
while I swim.
I like the words gossamer, resplendent and perhaps.
Perhaps, perhaps.

undefeated
undefeated we
who forge our souls in challenge
and cool them in truth
***
beside me I watch
as she runs for pleasure
and returns, too spent
***
what does it all mean
he asks his muse, like many
she sighs, bored again
***
ready to end it
with a visit to Eireann
she knew a new way
who forge our souls in challenge
and cool them in truth
***

as she runs for pleasure
and returns, too spent

It does not help that
in Haiku
It does not help that
you have come to me to talk
when I must listen
when I must hear your
thoughts and relate carefully
not betraying me
and I want to shout
that you are missing it all
while you question you
while you question me
that your Now is right here
closer than you think
you know what you want
only come out and say it
or it won't be real
with no limits, no fears
make your Now what you will, now;
Please love and be free.

thoughts on potential
thoughts on potential
(when he winks, on the right note)
when he asks her to do something like she always does
when he is comfortable
enough to talk about anything
yet surprised by her beauties
and thrilled by each of her glances,
by her points of view
which he ponders seriously
always wanting to do for her
and there is always a bit more he wants to say to her
because conversation helps them both learn
and makes them fuller
when both make effort, but neither is ever spent
when he makes her feel wanted,
lets her know she is a centerpiece of his thoughts
lets her know;
and knows she feels the same way

In the name of fat Tuesday
In the name of fat Tuesday
(though it's Saturday right now),
we rise early to parade...
What is to celebrate?
It's the idea of carne vale;
goodbye to the body, they say
if they're playing at the rules,
what happens come Wednesday?
