Masuku – Intermission Poetry

Masuku I traveled to afar In hopes to fill this empty anguished soul That has always wanted more I thought I’d found enough When our eyes met Our eyes locked into a stare Underneath there is a gaze Only meant to be seen For far off wanderers To a place I haven’t been They tell …

The Jester – A Poem, and Witcher

The Jester I sat back to consider the time I’d spent on jestering “Play me a tune,” they’d state and I played along Watch me dance, sing along with my song Of course, they always did as I said Some didn’t play along But that only enhanced my song When others listened and felt enthronged …

Music – Like Poetry

This is from my chapter on music in my Intermission Poetry collection. I love the outdoors and used to spend my childhood hiking through canyons and rocky plateaus, running down gently rolling hills, or hanging out on the edge of a cliff after exploring a small cave.  It was nice growing up backed up to …

I Had To Write Something… and a poem

... ... ... Something I'm posting a poem for Grace. 🙂 ❤ Hollow Orbs I watched hollow orbs Flicker and dance Wondering what was there Light within brighter still Searching for depth and understanding Passing through the common glance On the other side Deeper and deeper still Color and vibrance I say, “I love you,” …

Where? Another Bit of Poetry

What is poetry to you?  For me, it's lyrics of a song.  I always speak my poems out loud and listen for the music behind the words.  If there is no music, then there are usually no words.  When I met the love of my life I said her soul sang to mine.  I don't …

A Short Poem and a Caucus

Out to Dry Words lose their meaning When spoken too often Reflexively, they pass through One ear, and out the other Its just another line to be hung Like dirty laundry out the back They drip and flail until dry Once the winds pick up They fly away to other ends To be spoken once …

Avocado Toast – A Poem

Avocado Toast We’d eat avocado toast in our pajamas Say I love you and mean it We’d walk along roads never walked before We’d see things in the sky only for our eyes I remember when I thought the world was always open Always free to visit But now I am not so sure I …

More Intermission Poetry

It’s All Gone I am standing outside Speaking in the cold Watching my breath As it coils and dissipates Into the air Phantoms of ice and smoke The cool sky evaporates Breath no more Words spoken are gone Never existed Never heard The air takes my meaning It’s all gone When did we last talk? …

Sunday Poetry & Emptiness

As Barry Gibbs once asked, "How can you mend a broken heart?"  Well, its not very easy.  Here's two poems on this Sunday from my Intermission Poetry collection. Plus, I've added three song widgets along the side bar.  (Oh wait, I added five songs.)  I hope you like the songs.  Just a small bit of …

This Christmas Isn’t What it Seems

A poem (with many cute pics of dogs and cats).  *clears throat* My Love... This Isn't What it Seems this Christmas... so Please? How do you love me...? I mean really how? Sometimes you'll ask me before answering And then answer before asking And I am standing here with eggnog in hand But egg in …
