hoping
for untold wealth
I crossed the dry desert;
but lost the boundless treasure of
your smile.
Voices mysterious far and near,
Sound of the wind and sound of the sea,
Are calling and whispering in my ear,
Whifflingpin! Why stayest thou here?
your smile
lights the darkness
like a rich jewel afire
in the Ethop’s left ear lobe—
lovely

lovely,
like a newborn
girl is a gift from you,
never ceasing to give my heart,
never
Life is not a static display. It took change to be where you are today--effect the change to be somewhere else tomorrow.
~MJ Ravenscroft
Never.
Briefest of words
that tell how soon my love
for you shall fade or pass away.
Ever.
Voices mysterious far and near,
Sound of the wind and sound of the sea,
Are calling and whispering in my ear,
Whifflingpin! Why stayest thou here?
ever,
always exist:
never pass from life, but
remain eternal, without end—
no death
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
No death,
no slow tumble
into black mystery,
seasons swallowed by rabid life
hungry.
and somehow a dog
has taken itself & its tail considerably away
into the mountains or sea or sky, leaving
behind: me, wag.
- John Berryman
Hungry
for new knowledge
we throw haiku about,
that ancient wisdom may emerge.
Some hope.
Voices mysterious far and near,
Sound of the wind and sound of the sea,
Are calling and whispering in my ear,
Whifflingpin! Why stayest thou here?
some hope
light rain will sink
with gentle diligence,
to bathe fragile roots in liquid
delight
"Don't matter who they are, anybody sets foot in this house, they are company and don't let me catch you remarking on their ways like you were so high and mighty."
delight
laughter resounds
merry giggles come floating from
the front porch swing where lovers sit
so close
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
So close
their tentacles
entwined, their suckers stuck
together; just two jellyfish
mating.
Voices mysterious far and near,
Sound of the wind and sound of the sea,
Are calling and whispering in my ear,
Whifflingpin! Why stayest thou here?
mating—
forming new life—
the male joins with female,
mystery of life’s secrets—
pass on…
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
pass on
the other side.
Do not see the bodies
half-hidden by blankets of flies.
At peace.
Voices mysterious far and near,
Sound of the wind and sound of the sea,
Are calling and whispering in my ear,
Whifflingpin! Why stayest thou here?
at peace
tranquility
drifting on clouds of down flake
a dandelion seed adrift in air—
floating
