For Stan again Pastoral workshop

This stroll I’ve taken time and times before.
Each moment was as pleasant as the last.
I’ve seen the trees and harkened to Stan’s lore
while trodding grass as green as days long past.
For green and lush they were spite all the pain
and now I can recall the loveliness.
The fear is still remembered, but as gain;
those lessons learned that helped me to address
the joys and how to keep them close to me.
And so I walk again with my old friend
to gaze at flowers red and blue he sees.

COMMUTER

Ensconsed inside my cubicle
beneath the false florescent light
eyes strained from flickering monitor
I glance at the clock's hands
then stare

The sweep hand at last passes twelve
as the short one lands on five.
I rise and stretch then join
the exodus
from sterility

Elevator to the parking level
somebody farts
an unwelcome sharing
from one uncaring

GONE FISHING

GONE FISHING

My mind is still sharp and clear
and I understand the world about me.
but my art is no longer true
to the visions I seek
and when I speak
I disappear into mediocrity

I think It's time
to leave it all behind
and let my silence tell
what my words fail to do.
It's time to let go ...

Portrait of a room (pastoral poetry workshop)

A curtain yields to the light inflation of air
Then, earnestly as an ushering hand
Shoos the stillness of this room
Leaving a fledgling light for you

Sometime...Somewhere (Effective Pastoral WS)

I always wished to live where angels are,
on shores perhaps… but oceans often rage
and put down everything including dreams,
I'd rather pick a safer place to dwell.

So maybe higher places, 'way and far
where mountains touch the clouds, the moon is full,
but then the eyesight jars the skyscrapers,
and sure that's not where angels often are.

DECOPAUGE

pause
paisse

crush your midst
lean nude upon
the frame
coated in the cruel light
the cold of night
pressed in the shape
rising
basalt
seamless

the light burns
in its urn
upon the wall
the television
an eye
the blue headlamp
stalled

the bruises
run up
creep like
shadows
the brilliant
eye
glitters
hot
sad
haunted
lost

Hold me my love

So soothingly
so beautiful
coming from the cream
of modern youth,

my time since then
you make me recall
you wet my lips

and

Whet my appetite...

I love her still
though tis late,
sans we are
sans all

But still we admire the years,

like you we did once kill
but desire lingers still,
let’s be a part of youth again
and
ask time, to for a while stand still....

I and she try still....

Delivering Male

I'm secure in my maleness,
never give it a thought
but after events this morning
even I said " what "?

To me it was cold,
sporting two shirts,
had to get the girls up
for school and work.

My daughter had made
a delicate bracelet,
pink and yellow beads,
in my hair, she placed it.

I turned off the fans,
my wife likes it cold,
but here I was shivering,
needing a coat.

Pastoral poem

A cool summer rain is a blessing,
a panacea.
A wild winter wind is a cursing,
a cursing of God.
A warm autumn gale is relieving
from mad summer heat.
Spring has a special breeze sent from that God-
a cool summer rain.
