Argent Sea

one sea
reflecting 
sky’s timeline 

Laughing Gas

when you laugh too hard 
gas is involuntarily discharged. 

Borrowed time

losing and finding 
the will to live 
borrowed time pulls 
dreams into 
the many reasons to live 

Sleep Writing

Poems whisper to me as I prepare for bed
Like a lullaby I hear them in my head 
I fall asleep holding my notebook tight 
Clutch my pen feeling the ink glowing bright 
I dream I am writing in my slumber 
But when awake I can’t remember 
To capture elusive words that run asunder 
Many a time I make a wordy blunder 
I try to get back words from where they meander 
There is no paper, there is no pen 
I don’t have to cross my t’s 
And dot my i’s 
I don’t need to write a rhyme 
Or make the syllables chime 
My mind let’s go and feels sublime 
With the spoken word I converse 
Dreams come to me in the form of a verse
A monologue 
In a soliloquy 
A symphony of my 
Soul’s piquancy .

In Remembrance

sapphire lyrics dazzle 
my deep solitude 
your memory
moves like a wind song 
in ocean’s eternity 
heart gathers nostalgic voices 
a tremulous cry locked in time 
I abandon my vocabulary 
and let words rest in peace 

Music And Poetry

a book and it’s pages 
bound together 
like music and poetry 
tuneful of notes
musings of a lone heartbeat. 

Trick Or Treat

Wolf like dogs howl
At elusive moon
candy clouds abound 
Out on the prowl 

Ghouls play foul
Donning ensemble
Unearthly assemble 
Phantoms bogle 
Corn mazes , hay rides 
Haunted houses fear belied 
Green eyed sirens 
Black cats roar like lions 
Ravens  fly blading the sky 
Zombies spook 
Owls hoot up trees
Skeletons sneak 
Ghoulish scenes 
Jack -o’-lanterns swinging 
Errant wind chilling 
Silhouettes creep creepily 
Dead walk the gloom dreadfully 
A witch cackles , swishes her broom 
Her magic hat goes vroom 
Goblins, imps, pixies
Trolls, brownies,
Pranking Bogies
Lightening the pumpkins 
Carving trick or treat 
Being scary is no mean feat
