Twilight

The lace of clouds
Gentle and shy
Dawn smiles

Greeting the light
Woman’s scent
On the breeze

Yellow meadow
Opening gate
Footsteps in
My flowers

With a warm tooth
She makes a red
Bed full of her
Lust for blood

A Star is Born

Before your beginning
Atoms are like stars
Awaiting the hand

Lifting them up from
The browns in the
Ground to live
--------------
Dying was waking up
On the other side of
The quilt we made

Death just the period
At the end of your
Life long quest
--------------
An instant of conception
Initiates an individual
Book of experience

Neither here nor there
But beyond all horizons
Where God illuminates you

Risky Business

Writing on the glass sky
In red ink drip by drip my
Blood slips out of my eyes

Running down channels to lips
Then finger tips and my pen
Capturing each instant in
Atomic quantum detail

Knowing full well it
Would go down in
The ‘Book of Life’

Write carefully
Live strong
Die well
