With a Woman who Deserves Me

Each and every little thing about this life's amazing

Doing this for myself and a woman who deserves me.

Every little part of creating home is radical

creating our universe out of love

building a dream from scratch

With her gaping mouth I can build an empire

What a way to go to go out smiling

And as soon as she stops

I can play grandpa of two

So do me right, baby,

do your man with meaning

Squeeze and please me

With no end or beginning

Kiss me long and varied

with everything you love

and treat me lovingly inside out

And on the outside, we can share the world,

by bike, on foot and plane.

Come with me to Hardy's Wessex,

Danube cruise to Budapest,

Wildlife preserves of Africa,

Pyramids of Egypt, markets of Morocco,

the American southwest, northeast,

down to New Orleans and Key West,

and best of all, regular time with three daughters,

and a son wherever he may be

Around the necklace off Asian jewels

from the heart of Taiwan

especially the China I thought I'd never see;

I will see it now

with a woman without excuses,

and few limitations from adventure in her soul

all the while home in any bed

wherever we lay down too roam.

Love on an express train with a local ticket

Love is like being on an express train With a local ticket and no reservation. One stop you sit chillin’ as soon as it starts; It takes you for a little while and a little while more. Next stop? Get up to find another seat at the door; Maybe the next stop will be the end of the line, So rock her down till the rollin’ stops, When you seem too familiar and kind. Too hungry to sit and hard-pressed to move on, It is done before you reach your destination. Perhaps you sit on the floor transfixed Or stand in the vestibule near the toilets. When you’ve opened your eyes to the world you created, It is half past late for the ride to go that way. Without faith and vision no place goes well. From car two, aisle-seat nineteen you move, To car two, seat twenty-six window move, Third stop, to car four, no seat at all; Two-thirds of your life down the line. Red signal reflection on how your trip’s been going. The train may reach your station too so...

Because dogs are the best people❤️

Some have a dog to keep them company Someone to go out and be with them Take her for walks or places to explore A place a friend would not disagree going Call her by name when she dawdles Wait for her when she is distracted If I could rent a dog to keep me company It would not be fair to say goodbye For she would be more than a child or wife Till death I would need to be in her life A child grows and a wife sometimes stops Being a part of her best friend’s life I have thought about how to walk with a cat Or a bird on my shoulder to claw me till home A turtle and slowly get used to its gait A hedgehog, fish, snail or mouse enclosed An invisible deejay radio talk show mate None of whom would be a good on a date I’ll go to the roof and drink with the moon Instead of staying alone in the dark of night Watching one by one street lights turn on Another evening with no one beginning With all the freedom a ...

To a local shrub with roots so deep

See first live rendition here Can a transplanted tree afford to lose rain To a local shrub with roots so deep? Wide and far in its reach To the sandy soil of the settler’s beach Where an ancient ship wrecked at sea Spilled its seeds on fertile soil Grew a forest in a far flung land Bearing fruit carried away Depleted and thinned towards extinction A foreign tree lost its distinction Without maintenance Till a leaf in the breeze was all that remained And the sweet taste that bloomed was soon forgotten Becoming an eyesore not worth kindling As lonely it had become as could be Yet just north across the tropic of Cancer In a temperate zone with a kind of its own So much density the forest did see With its own kind thriving naturally Through storms and droughts and falling outs Wandering offspring in wind settling in Unpicked fruit fallen to the ground For anyone who’d lost their doubt This is how culture comes about As ship-wreck...
