Two leaves cling

the winter maple,

tattered brown reminders

of summer's green umbrella.

Two leaves, battered

by November bluster, refused

a graceless fall, shivered

in still December silver.

Two leaves, rain-

spattered, heedless of February

threat, huddle beneath

a cloak of January mist.

So it is with you and me,

I've written some poetry, but would never call myself a poet. Anyway, I found it the other day and thought I would share it here.

Originally wrote it third person, as it's really about something I observed, then took a bit deeper. But my poetry group thought it would work better first person. Thoughts?

That ocean beds were filled with trees
For oceans are quite bare of these
But 'neath their boughs the carp and I
Could hide from shark and octopi
And so ne'er fear to end a meal
for hungry whale or gliding eel
And under tree we fish and shrimp
could frolic, party till we're limp
'til lumberjacks come swarming in
and chop our trees to kindlin

Shallow Dive


Shadows sift through incense
cedar boughs, alight on your skin
like eiderdown. Riled
by the June zephyr, they flit
in weightless dance. My kiss gives chase
up and down your torso.

The trees are taller now, your body softer,
and my lips discover an unfamiliar scar

Another thirsty morning,
each rasp of the clock
a stark reminder of dust
bowl days, before satellite
TV and wireless telephones
transmitted eroded dreams, real
time. The current drought will
likely be the straw to break
the Midwest farmers back.

The cameras have gone,

Hellichten Tag in the mornings,
time to cross the bridge of light.
Death stays bound to the other side,
chained at the root of life.


To change is to dance, some have
taken lessons, others go free form,
many are wallflowers, and then theres
those who despise dancing altogether.


Es tut mir leid for afternoons fall,
and victims do we all become.
Remembering better times, watching
for signs from the overhead sun.

He can make my life luxurious and fine
Just be his alone putting him above all other men.

Should I question his ways as they are eccentric and strange?
Should I say something about the evil look in his eyes?
I don't want him to think I'm stepping out of range
Hoping he won't be offended by my whys.

Living way out here, in this place away from all, I really must always be on guard
The snow was supposed to have already stopped, but we are in some kind of snow storm.

My heart would go out to any one out on a night like this
To my surprise I hear a light tapping on my door
Wondering why anyone would be out on a night touched by a blizzard's kiss

This will give us plenty of time to get some sun and play
Little did we know later on we will wish we had stayed away.

I'd say we were about half way to our destination, when a mysterious fog bank appears
All the instruments on the boat are going nuts
We stop the engine hoping to avoid going into the fog

We all had the courage to cross the line
Our twisted minds we think we are right in everything.

The sport of killing rules my life
It drives me to do ungodly things
I can hear my victims voices in my head sounding like an eerie fife
The excitement makes my demented mind sing.

It is like I was born without a conscious, not knowing the difference between good and bad, life or death
So no sense of right or wrong about the crime I dared to commit.

I have hurt a lot of people but with my senses I don't really care
My conscience does not realize what I did was wrong
Society and the establishment I even dared

To see her would give you such a fright
She laughs her haunting laugh just for fun.

She attempts to stir her brew
As it is a sell for an unknowing soul
As the wolves howl so low
And she stirs and stirs trying to beat the rising sun.

She chants over her black pot
Incantations to cast her spell
That she intends to plot
And she continues to stir hoping it won't fail.

Knowing my fate if what others say about you is true
I hope al the hearsay is not true, this I pray.

If what they say is true I just condemned my eternal soul to hell

Knowing within the ranks of the undead I shall dwell

This big old house I bet is a hundred years old
No telling how many imprints of evil were left here

I was touched by fire, and my physical appearance, let's just say I don't look like I belong

My physical appearance has a tendency to distress others so

Him, a creature of the night then on me he left the vampire's mark.
