Poetry

I have poems that I have written scatter all about.
This seems like a good place to deposit them when I run across them.

 1)

butter on my roll, before you go

 

 lying on clean sheets 

I wrestling with fat pillows

That will not hold me back

The water's drip & drip, wet outside the window

 drips that count a time

the wind blows in the ruffled curtains

   in and out

 

I am lying to a woman

and she wants to wrestle on clean sheets

with big pllows. and have curtains like these.

Curtains that fly

   in and out..to the breeze of the moon.

 I am lying with the woman

    and she is wrestling with choices 

    she has clean sheets and the freshest breezes

    that blow in off the ocean 

tonight, take off your shoe and dance

pick out a song we all know, sing along

 

 she orders chocolates and green tea

 the birds will sing if we are quiet.

    and the branches will sway  

smoke spins around in my head

Turn the stars on. the sky is charcole.

Drink more wine. I will draw you

2012 

2)

Do not count the time 

The time does not matter

It is always now

The stars are always in the sky

Even in the day.

The sound of the ocean is still 

In every shell upon the beach

The reflection is of the world

Held on every drop on rain

Things are lovelier this way

Wait for the flowers to come again

They have not gone so far 

Winter is a tired army

Let it March away

Play your drum as you will

And do not count the time.
