white elephant blue
tell me what I mean to you -
bright unlikely hue

Paper Boat

by this way
each new day
I let float

my paper boat

down a fast
running stream
that holds no dreams

Pact, The

would you
for the love of
me
tie this lace
upon a tree

when the wind
upon it blows
my heart
on yonder river flows

Test

a harrowed ref equals
photojournalist's bucket
communicating targetted
wishes - blank images
source of imaginings

Sighing

bending on the bank
of a winsome river
a weepy willow
sighed:
'Oh for the day
that I my tears
again may find...'

again
wanting
again
waiting....

Kindred Poets

`

probably a kinsman
sanguinely perhaps
but by pen more so
is he that writes
to express his soul
to annoy himself so

Persona Non Grata

once
sometime
long time ago
when the world was younger
none of this was a bother
when the heart was fonder
ancient lore
sometime
once

Ey

What left is there to say
Please linger on to stay?
Clear in the dark of day
Proof of a heart's dismay
Truth no soul can display

Can you hear the sandman....

on his trapeze swinging
taking flight in moonlight

winging

journey set, pulse dreaming
sandman with gentle fingers

caressing....
