Ask Me Not

Standard

*

let me dance
as the millipede
with no thinking

.

ask me not to
quit nor to explain
turn the other side

.

if jealousy abides
inside as I praise the
sky as the dance floor

.

Keep On Walking

Standard

*
our venturesome
walks are the cause
me I can’t stay
put too long

.

walking life barefoot
doesn’t scare me

.

it was probably
because grandpa

.

explained everything
to me then – I got it

.

the habit of asking why
exacting answers

.

even when
the questions
are larger than I
I keep on walking

.

November 1st

Standard

*

November 1st early
morning past sunrise
I’m out in the middle
of the deserted road

.

I stop to savor the
moment under a sturdy
blue sky half moon
suspended late up there

.

my eyes running up to
the lengths of the tall
palm trees where only
a bird or two greet me

.

I’ve got a couple of hours
a couple of water bottles and
some mountains to follow here’s
peace before my Sunday starts

.

From the poetry collection California Notebooks 02 now on sale.

where I should be

Growing

Standard

*

with poems I color

my emotions of new hues

stretch the perimeters

.

grasp a dreamed story

giving it legitimacy

the gifts are shared

.

my soul’s eyes scan

the air around of me

the breath of God

.

the most soft of nests

I am watching myself

growing with as I create

.

Kind Words

Standard

*

what if I told you

to send me water

.

as everyone is

busy sending me light

.

may healing come

without parching

in a bath of light

.

as well as sipping

in all the water

.

I need to stand

tall once more

.

February 1st 2022

Standard

*

as I contemplate

morning light peaking

through cold mornings

.

it’s the sound of the wind

running low on the streets

that gets my attention

.

getting distracted

following fast

moving

.

dried leaves

rustling through

disappearing

.

as dawn catches

up with me

behind my back

.

Here It comes

Standard

Enjoy the visual art work as well

*

here it comes

the first poem of the year

right as the sun

hides low

behind the houses’ roofs

darkness

falls as a wet blanket

piercing

through my winter coat

a soft sound

cracking

on the frozen grass little

cautious

steps as it advances

.

On Tenderness – Dec.2021

Standard

*

where did my soul go

she’s hurt and offended

she’s hiding from me

from others I will go now

looking for her I will

walk long step after step

until the blood pumps

until the heart awakens

until my legs hurt no more

until I could hear my soul’s

voice calling me out to be

taken softly in my arms

.
