At three in the morning it happened
My daughter came up and said
There is a man with a flashlight
Knocking on the door.
A little weird don't you think?
I push the husband out of bed.
Said go . . . more

WATCHING RHINE
It just lies here in its big
curve through Basel
on an early autumn
evening, possibly wanting
to have changed its course
a few times over the years
but maybe not minding . . . more

You killed the fire that burned in me,
The flame that fueled my heart.
And as the last sparks died away,
I knew that soon we'd part.
I now know that I was the fool
Who took no one's advice . . . more

What is it about those woods
When the darkness falls they seem to call
Come and see,come and see what lies deep
inside
Come and see the mysteries beneath the trees
in the quiteness of the dark. . . . more

On a quiet and sticky summer night
When sleep is elusive,
An unexpected breeze
Wafts across my sweat dampened body,
Prodding me from my bed
And I think of you.
As I wander . . . more

Winter
snow piles on the driveway piles on the porch
piles on the lawnmower I forgot to put away.
The cat comes in, stretches and yawns by the fire.
First time in three months he is inside today.

I walk in glass slippers
waiting for them to shatter,
for I'm not used to
Cinderella endings;
I feel so scared
in trusting love;
Somehow I don't feel
I deserve it; . . . more

They call to me,
are a wellspring inside of me,
and I could not stop them
even if I tried;
Words flow
like a stream,
gentle to my soul,
guided by my spirit,
shared with those
who care . . . more

Evening slipped beyond the hills.
The stars invaded the clear blue sky.
The sounds of the coming night were filled.
The mice did scurry, screech owl cry.
The deer dashed as the stars sparked.
In awhile . . . more

Another day of life has come and gone,so I gather
my thoughts and feelings to write a new poem.
A time to expose the world of who I am,a time to let the
world view my inner man. . . . more

Rites of winter
where are stopped
the interminable blossomings
when an ease can be achieved
surviving by a fire

capture this paradise
of salt-white sand
and watercolor seas.
Giant sugar-mound dunes . . . more

She was just sitting,
sitting alone in the room,
she took out her knitting,
never knowing her doom.
Then he walked in,
only to yell and hit,
a bruise formed on her skin,
and in her chest a slit.
He then . . . more

The oaks are turning red,
The maples scream the sunset;
Morning mists my windows,
The air is apple, crimson.
December, weeks from October,
Four months from Cupid;
Beech leaves fly . . . more

How sweet is the tasting
when the fruit is forbidden,
when the nectar is heady
and runs thick through the veins;
How powerful is the kiss
of lips so gentle,
like the soft subtle flicker

I surrender to your longing,
I surrender to your tears,
You alone are Heaven,
You help me face my fears;
Strong, yet so vulnerable,
You fill my heart with song;
You look at me with boyish eyes,

Your love blankets me;
I can feel the thaw,
and springtime is born
in my heart;
The raging winter
has taken leave,
replaced by sunny skies,
and I could not want for more
than this, my . . . more
