Passages

I opened my eyes

and saw my sins.

I closed my eyes

and found my way

to weather another day.

I’m calling the ghost

of my past

to help me through the last of my long journey

to
meet my failing breath.

You came into my life;

early when there was lots of strife.

You

resurfaced yesterday when I

closed my eyes

and rekindled our sins and

unshackled my desires.

My journey has ended

as I look into your eyes and wait.

You are a new sun rising from the past.

The Cavern

Listen to me patiently,

I dream of happenings

lost in a cavern

bound in exuberance

discovered by you.

Fleeting Thoughts on a Rainy Day

                                                            Change is relative

                                                             to personal thought:

                                                             therefore,

                                                             I have not changed.

                                                            I demand not a single thing in life

                                                            but gain nothing

                                                            though silence

                                                            Piano music in

Daily Desire

Can you hear the harp playing,

taps in the background.

Can you hear the angels singing,

Welcoming to their palace.

Have you heard the trumpet playing,

as you enter the gate.

Can you hear your heart beating

against the echo of your desires.

Island Stroll

I closed my eyes

and drifted away

to places were we can play

for ten thousand days.

We walked hand and hand

feet squeaking in the sand

wind blowing gently,

hair waving happily.

Sweet smell of wild beach flowers,

overhead

sun soaked beaches

lovers getting drenched

in warm trade wind showers.

Sun setting over aquamarine waters,

waves gently crashing,

passions and love continues to blossom, each hour

constantly rehashing

latent beginnings

opening new doors.

Eyes dotted with green sparkles

blue spheres

body, lightly tanned

walking closely together with another man

exchanging profound words

harmony

hand in hand.

New partners playing together

Not so oddly

as life begins changing

creating a new horizon

slowly, calmly

their focused thoughts

on a lonely beach

together forever

savoring the day’s sun.

Reflections #1

A placid sunset over

architectural feats,

arched bridges;

people

walking briskly with social grace

towards destinations unknown……

Jets

racing towards the clouds

.........reflections...........

from rooftop seats

overlooking the muddy Charles.

Reunion #1

Voices from the past, 

and from the present

all brought together 

by the net.

A joyous gathering;

some not heard from for many years

creative, jovial

a close knit family who honors 

friendship and work 

brought together... forever

by a place called Cahners.
