Another Day


Another Day

Another day scrapped with its demons
having folded in upon themselves
Creased and cornered tightly
tucked yet still wrinkled
in just the right places


Another creeping sunset 
arrives unbeckoned wandering
carrying whimpering westerly winds
Sighing, seeking for the open window
searching to crowd the senses
with a gale of its own jasmine blossom

Another flawed day
trapped in its own domain
a montage of pain, of quiet song
joy mingled with suffering
of sweet harmony, broken melody
a granite heart carved rightly


Another day to kindle the kettle
until all the worries burn
whistle another day
summon deep pleasures
whisking the soul away
in ample delight


Another day taken flight
alighted on mercy's tree
transfused with satisfaction 
herbal remedy intravenously 


A refreshing supply of reliable content
like peppermint flavored veins
with cotton candy coated walls
jubilant flow now takes the reins

SUGAR PLUM

SUGAR PLUM




My silent sugar plum,
coatless timid terebinth,
ambrosial choice spice.  
A delicate tender lily
unaware of her
hidden green youth.
You've become quite a
towering Cedar tree.
Anchored and sightly,
while others under your
wing, your shoulder.
Deeply seated, rooted firmly
upon the earth.
The fullness of every
shadow is beneath you.
Surely I remember
the day you returned
home.  Standing in
the kitchen garbed
in militant green
Stoic and sullen faced.
You were my lamb to admonish,
wild and woolly haired
child.  My daughter.
Its hard to imagine
you...now.  My once tulip,
Snow white,  now with malignant
attitude and M-16, the
insurgent metal-laden.
A lily who prefers the battlefield.
Leviathan, with an appetite
for belligerence and blood.
But you'll always
be my little sugarplum.
