My love of the morning
my love dressed in dawn
My love early risen
and risen, so still
My love whom only
the noonday could ****

My love of an hour
my love in the dust
My love who only
does what she must
with a folded lily in folded hands
my love whom the afternoon reprimands

My love of the dusk
my love of the evening
My love barely listening
my love barely breathing
Who is my love whose love only leaves her
and lingers in shadows where no one receives her

My love of the night
who desires the moon
and the stars all gleaming
through tired trees leaning
My love of the earth, my love of the grave
my love of the sky, the blaze, the wave.

Falling into darkness
There's no way out
No matter how many times
You scream and shout
The darkness blocks
Everything out
Hide your tears
And face your fears
Time to to stop running
To yourself be true
Unleash that light
Inside you
Do you see it?
How does it feel?
Now heres the magic
The big reveal
It was there all along
Like a tune in a song
Because darkness
Was lights shadow all along

Length and lean
Tall and mean
Muscle and tone
Sigh and moan

Taught and clean
Bitter and gleam
Crush and bite
Timber and might

Holy and wrought
Rough and cough
Steady and calm
Dirt and charm

Man and soot
Man and foot
Farm and barn
Heat and brawn

Sleep and eat
Never obey
Stormy way
Hidden meat

Pluck me a dandelion child of God
place it in a vase and admire it !
Its just as pretty as the golden rod
and also quite potent I must admit

Believe in its charm like an infant
and trust it will light up your room
Treat it with love and though nesceint
the colors of it, will surely enfume

An original beauty now its your call  
tell it your secrets, it listens to you !
From seed to flower never a puffball
a twist of your hand and its feverfew  

Trust in the power of this little wild flower
it grows bravely for you and it never cowers.

Stomped on
Torn
Broken
Repaired
Renewed
Not only should you care
Take care of yourself
Learned the hard way
Close the door with a bit of light shining through
Final break of the heart
You are stupid
We know who is smart
Better separated and apart
Final Break of the Heart

a butterflies wings
a child's laughter
a prayer for ever after
a day without sunshine
a tomorrow without hope
a **** on some bad dope
a door that's left open
a scream unspoken
a picture untaken
or a cup left
unwashed
on a draining board
next to a dishwasher

are suggested quickly, no time taken to

utter the words. yet. it will take a while

to order, to plant, it will all be lovely,

unless bitter words entice despondency,

low spirits from a loss of hope, of courage.


we shall carry on until the paint runs out,

then we shall clean the old rugs., order two hundred

bluebells.


he often has good ideas.

Oh Summer, let me count thy ways as I bask
inside the sunlight of your sunny spice
Oh Summer, may I drink from your flaxen flask
before winter turns my skin as cold as ice

Oh Summer, dance me to the end of August
then dance me to the end of love.  
Oh Summer, before my memory turns to dust
come and fit me like a glove...

Oh Summer, favored amongst all seasons
with your golden rays of yupik mesquite  
Oh summer, give me all your fiery beacons
lay your leathery heat on me, replete

Oh Summer, Oh Summer, Oh Summer,  
you'll be gone soon and that is a ****** !
