What Crosses My Mind

  • When I Was A Child

    I remember I could believe in magical things, the diamonds we cherished in wedding rings On a sunny day, I could imagine I’d see forever when rainbows appeared, I would run until never. ~ When I was a child I recall all of my scary dreams were mysterious inventions of my fears it seems. While happiness,…

  • Sigh, Autumn

    A heavy weight streams beyond a worried eye skin tease a glint of aftershock in sky, summer wind reveals the loss, Her hot ardor romantic wisp, now memories adore ~ When as a lad out the doors I could run passion a reminder of setting sun hours ahead an arctic ground would near then frozen…

  • Home, Then, Perspective

    When I glance today, I can bask in a vague recall of those times, young love, innocence weren’t we all some time wanting the drag of hours, minutes, years to give chance … ~ the streets are the same, rows of maple I do have to try hard to remember just how exacting my life…

  • Tuesday Afternoon Lives

    I was with the Moody Blues the other evening, my apartment, a place I could create my own dreams, I listened to their soul speaking to my fear, they could soothe my mind, allow me so near the places I really wanted to be, where we could all be together, with our idiosyncratic notions, without…

  • Little, Man

    ~ What I want is my life to be this simple without worry of having my innocence taken away. We look at ourselves in hundreds of ways each one a still life of who we are. An orderly day amidst the chaos of nature mingling with concrete. He hasn’t any desire to see beyond the…

  • Outside, the Rains

    With only a few drops to touch the patio blocks i can return home again, to picture window mornings watching the birds sift through the rain in natural habitat, I do recall the street became gradually river like, creating the later streams in culverts home-made sailboats would venture throughout the city neighborhoods entertaining all the children…

  • Yesterday

    We read about it on the news, that they would tell us, back then in the wired age, we didn’t really have to wonder otherwise, we knew they were dying, we saw the pictures of the massacre of innocent lives with the bombs dropping, little kids watching with eyes wide open, unable to see their…

  • When Just A Child

    I could laugh and scream all day, play in the soil and mock the world, there wasn’t a chance of being hurt I was simply a boy with a magic heart. I remember chuckling out loud, at a sibling playing a trick on me, I recall thinking that was allowed for as a child no…

  • Eighteen

    A finished product on paper wanting immediate recognition in reality asking only for keys to sanity wonders abound ahead new quests. Each moment of passage now today seems clouded when yesterday, the avenues were clear, I could find you around every corner without stumbling forward into a pedestrian maze. That symbolism speaks to tomorrow suddenly…

  • When I Lost My Way

    I won’t really ever recall the date, Nor the notion, I haven’t been able to understand, Just how I ever really got this way, How it is that when I think about it, The same questions remain, I continue to look for some solutions, In other eyes, I look to them for guidance, They give…
