Twilight Zone

twilight time
patient quiet
gentle soft
gone quickly
like a young lover
who holds you spellbound
timely fragile
like snow in warm hands
melting away
between grasping
invisable fingers
taking its turn
each day becoming
the twilight zone

On Line

if you don't understand
line after line
look under yourself
maybe behind
think away all you know
what you have learned
what is for sure
picture yourself
like you were before
before you forget
look between the lines
color outside your lines
put it all on the line

Red Leaves

when the red leaves fall
light finds the crystal
power is there
in the mist
hands reach
minds search
a loaf of life
sliced into numbers
wailing at the wall
stumbling crumbling
after the bowed head
simple syrup
grilled cheese
checkmate
knowing no end
after the red leaves fall

Lingering

in the thick morning fog
freshly blooming yuccas
form dancing ghosts
as they gently sway
to the music they hear
breezily tuned
from the other side
of the unseen hills
whispering
what can't be heard
of a story
that should never
be told

Mind Path

pain is like
the mercury
in a thermometer
goes up and down
revealing a secret
that lies deep
in your soul
it will leave
if you give
it
a mind path

Love

Love
is like
fire
and
ice

Itch

Only an itch
knows
how long
it needs
to be
scratched
