The gentle dark embraces me
in cool dense southern air
as winter finally starts to flee.
A lone hound sadly bays somewhere.

I make plans in the deep of night.
The coming day I shall be tractor bound
making the acreage just right
clearing weed and brush choked ground.

For the seedlings of a new forest
arrive in just a few more days.
Until then there will be little rest
for this man with hair of white and grays.

tsunami,
really does
come infrequent

pierce
eyes and see
remnants galore

await
another may
come ashore

(of syllables I ain't too sure
do assure)

Fireworks
Chocolate cakes
Party is on

Bullets
Guns and missles
Party is on

More blood
Death toll's up
Party is on

Winter
cold and ice
come to end

dead trees
naked twigs
abandoned nest

greener
life appear
sprout of foliage

Shooting stars
Meteor blast
The sky is alive

Peeking moon
Its many shapes
Illuminous wonder

Planets spin
Axis shift
Life interrupted

Devil
Beckons
With arms open

Come here
It's different
I swear

Let me
Hold you
One more time

In daylight I follow my shadow
come Eve it jaunts me aft
disappearing mysteriously
when I lie under a blanket of stars.

They wink at me in darkness
far and light years away
yet they feel so near, so I can
fill my pockets with sparkles

I send them hugs and kisses
for being there just for me
to make my life glitter
till I walk the ultimate mile

They send a memento my way
which comes shooting down
to spark and light a campfire
to comfort me through the night.

Foggy night
Cold town
Broken car

Blonde hair
Blue eyes
Ruby lips

Pulls up
To assist
Unexpected

Black box
Jeweled box
Temptation great

Hand twitch
Can't resist
Key underneath

Black smoke
Demons out
Darkside release
