eyes-wide-shut—pensive
gripped by the emptiness
of a glass half full
…doubt is our greatest weakness, fear our greatest obstructor, intolerance our greatest enemy; all of these prevent the ascension to greatness.
poem 323/365:2016 [for DB]
we are leaves and seeds
drifting upon gentle winds
here for a time—gone.
//
love comes to us
we
are that love
//
what we re|member
of you will always be your love
a sea moving home
poem 322/365:2016
we spent the year trumped
dealt a hand claimed to be rigged
now must move as one
//
spewed hatred and deceit walls
built with poisonous bricks—words
Poem 318/365:2016
life comes to silence
live a life worth dying for,
enjoy hanami
(love)
Poem 295/365:2016
flower sun bathing
a bee croons, up and away
pollen stolen—love
Poem 294/365:2016
these eyes you’ve given
see the horrors of mankind—
a bird sings of love
Poem 290/365:2016
been away searching
speaking to shadows born
of light with no eyes
Poem 176/365:2016
Beneath raging seas
Beneath trees in the wind dance
Is a calm body
poem 136/365:2016
I taught her to give birth
and her me to be a man—
enough to love her
//
mothers give birth to men
who will give them love or grief…
