The midnight lovers stop and stare A hint of moonlight in their hair They lay there in that state of grace Giving them a warm embrace The childlike cries of pleasure brought To the surface nature taught In sweet agony is her face Her lover holds back from the race At last the battle has been…… Continue reading Midnight

The Tyrant
The Tyrant stands with flaming sword, all she judges, no accord, and down there at her feet, the countless faces waiting deep Outside, there is freezing cold, A sad story freshly told, Of love that’s lost, Can n’re return the cost Children look at her feet Beg for more bread to eat And still no…… Continue reading The Tyrant
The road less travelled by
With apologies to Robert Frost for stealing those five words. One of my favorite poets. That too one of my favorite poems, “I took the road less travelled by and that made all the difference” The road stretches onward, the path is strewn with glass, There is bold destiny, climbing to the pass And endless…… Continue reading The road less travelled by
When I was a Girl
When I was a girl, I played with the boys, Cops and robbers and all the boy’s toys When I was a girl, My hair was not long, I would have liked dresses how I felt wrong Some dreams don’t happen I thought with a sigh I was a girl, but I hid inside, I…… Continue reading When I was a Girl
November

High above the clouds she flies, Ariel with her wings of gold, Cries as she sees what has become, Of adonai’s creation A creature of pure light, No mortal eyes can truly see, She moves from one to another, Whispers the healing of the earth But where she goes, The trees stand taller, The grasses…… Continue reading The Angel’s Flight
The Hammer
Slowly it started its fall Degree by degree it moved through an arc Described by Sir Isaac, refined by some others Soon to hit the anvil Releasing the power inside It was swinging slowly now This great weight, tons of steel Toward the single point waiting the moment Patiently What would happen? At the end…… Continue reading The Hammer
Illusion
We hide behind mirrors, masks and walls, We hide what is pretty, we hide all our flaws, We pull some parts in, we build some parts out Tis all an illusion there can be no doubt The flower in springtime sits there on the hill It’s sisters around it in vast array will Draw bees…… Continue reading Illusion
Tableau
The hands move, and the clock ticks on And run we do, to time anon For what we will to be Dark night lanes white markings Haloed green beckons us on Arriving by bright sodium arc Beat calls us in to dance our whim Hands and legs give way to sway Emotion in motion, sisterhood…… Continue reading Tableau
Shuffle Down
Age leads to wisdom Some men say Crazy and deluded Come what may End your life in riches Like Midas if you please Remember though later Was like a disease And the world turns round The cymbals chime And the girls dressed in lavender Sure keep good time They dance you to the center Spin…… Continue reading Shuffle Down
