A BATTLE RAGES


Within walls of my mind

as words bounce, flounce

and dance wildly.


To create a verse, perhaps terse

It is my choice to voice


Whether prettily nice or not

For sharp shards of thunder rain

to fall, sting nastily on hatless head


or


Soft, sweet droplets of a summer shower

to freshen and soften sun baked clay

and so soothe my tempest strewn brain.

 A VISITOR

Came silently in the night

To slide between me and my wife

Speaking in a continuous rhythm

Like rattling leaves in a breeze

A language unknown.

Like an attractive foreign song

Will penetrate ones’ heart-brain

As sweet scents of leaves

dissipate in a summers breeze

To a mystic realm of everness !
