 The Myriad Colors of the Evening 

Reflect in Your Eyes
The Setting Sun is Warm
As Lovers Breath
Natures unspoilt Beauty
Mirrors in You
Soon the Stars will be Out
And the Dark Sky
Will Shimmer 
With Passion

 Dried up Flowers of Fall

Leaves having sucked
All their Blood
Turn Red
And Crumply
The Wind rustles through 
And shakes me Up
Soon it will be a Barren Landscape
With Grey Skies
And Trees that Refuse to Bend

 And there you have it 

A Brand New Day
Dawn breaks
And lights up the evidence
Of the Battle
The night before 
Glad you are done 
Licking Your Wounds
Counting all the Hurt
And as you Leave the Battle field
Remember all  
That you carry Within
It always comes with you
No matter what direction your steps 
Take 

 Amidst the sharp edges of the city

And the dull waves of the bay 
Somewhere there lies
The answer 
But I must find the question first
And that my dear friend is
The dilemma 
Of my existence 

 The cells in my body 

And your body
Bombarded by free radicals
Under oxidative stress 
Breakdown
And regenerate 
Driven by a cosmic rhythm
On the surface 
Things are calm
Your Beautiful face 
Radiant smile
The warmth of your Touch

 I was writing  me a poem

About the Harvest Moon
And then I realized 
That it’s November 
And the moon is now the Beaver Moon
And that Beavers are wet and Cold
And often Stink
Even though like all animals 
They are lovely 
And like all animals
Get Trapped/Hunted Down
At night
Under the  moonlight
A thought came to me that
If God were to arm All Animals
The Hunters could become the Hunted

 The Glass Vase

Came down with a force 
Shattering Everywhere 
Across the Floor
Wounded Flowers
Strewn Lifeless
I step in
Barefoot 
And Pick them all
One by One
