What Crosses My Mind

  • Stepped Outside

    We stepped outside today Took a walk in the cool breeze Like any day We’ve gotten used to these trees Same leaves, trail familiar, gardens blooming ~ We stepped outside today Watched the clouds roll in West horizon Showing a setting sun Looked like much any other day today ~ We stepped outside today Decided…

  • The Waiting

    Tonight While a fresh snow caresses Every opportunity of land around me I wonder in the quiet shelter About the breeze that for me offers arousal To my senses Like a beating sun on a hot summer’s day I recognize beauty in Nature’s Extremes ~ Alone My world is far different than yesterday When every…

  • Past Exhaustion

    Remember when Summers before then Stood before a crowd of strangers Read a short story and heard applause Afterward Standing on a street corner Unlocking a bicycle Feeling the chains release and suddenly A real moment became fleeting Now the work will become harder ~ Remember when An encounter didn’t mean effort Intertwined and searching…

  • A Fleeting Arousal

    It happens When we switch lanes on the highway Suddenly we are engaged In a tumbling arena of acrobatic challenge Moving amongst steel warriors Each with a venom of clashing speed Capable of mortal debility ~ We respond In our own lustful quiet To the vision that captures Our heart and soul Delicious lines Seductive…

  • Sweet Ode to Her Eyes

    Music will light up the night Visions in tear-drawn windows Sweet sounds to remind Time in essence Do you ever recall exact meaning? We met one summer Taking classes or just noticing A certain intrigue Drew our lives together We played with our own desires Drawing nearer Letting caution be our muse ~ I remember…

    Sunlight streams through an open window That’s energy. The moment I can imagine so many events, ideas, outcomes Yet My eyes only watch The mind is racing so many miles Physically stuck ~ What is the mystique around desire That passion to move forward Or beyond, letting the challenge Navigate our delights How is it…

  • Writing Coffee

    It’s early morning I can glance.      The tables dry and clean And just two newspapers      Lie at the counter Barely unfurled by any intellect’s      Grasp In my thoughts      This cafe is old memory. I’ve seen the sunlight      Break through polished glass So many times before.…
