Ascension

jrho99@yahoo.com — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 18:00:00 +0100

Though it takes more lifetimes

than have ever been

for starlight to cross the universe

and be embraced by your gazing eyes

It takes just an instant

at the pace of its own rhythm

for the heart of its heart

to find its way into your own

The Pull of the Moon

jrho99@yahoo.com — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 18:00:00 +0100

He put the moon in my hand

long before I knew

the measure of its weight

It felt like almost nothing

as if floating

Shallow Grave (Blues lyrics)

jrho99@yahoo.com — Wed, 13 Feb 2013 18:00:00 +0100

I got no love

to fill my heart

And nothing left

to warm my blood

I got no wings

I cannot fly

No way to go

until I die

So bury me

in a shallow grave

Let the wind

take me away

I got no love

to fill my arms

And nothing left

to ease my mind

I got no joy

I canno [...]

floating river (lyrics)

jrho99@yahoo.com — Thu, 10 Jan 2013 18:00:00 +0100

There you were

above the chaos and the sound

of fury on the ground

There you were

above the shadows and the fog

when everyone else was gone

There you were

to carry me away . . .

like a floating river

Let the Rain (Blues lyrics)

jrho99@yahoo.com — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 18:00:00 +0100

The rain is falling down

it's trying to take away the ground

But there's a place for you and me

above the rivers and the sea

So let the rain

come pouring down

Let it soak into the hills

let the lakes drink up their fill

Until the sky

has emptied all the clouds

And the sun

shines over what has drowned

&l [...]

stronger

jrho99@yahoo.com — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 18:00:00 +0100

when you are down

you must be stronger

than those around

who try to help

but don't see

what's got you down

or what you're doing

to get up

and only see you

on the ground

you must be stronger

than those around

to help the helpers

look up at you

stronger

Fires that warm

“Stay … still,” Isabella said softly with her lips so near to his ear that he felt their movement as she spoke. “Let me get this for you,” she said as she slid her hands under his snug cardigan.

He felt her soft fingertips on his abdomen, then his ribs. The coolness of the air bumped into his skin as his torso began to become exposed. Small goose bumps began to rise as her hands continued upward [...]

Drawers

kjhays45@gmail.com — Sat, 15 Dec 2012 18:00:00 +0100

Drawers Erotic cleavage is kind of mysterious
like my father's big underwear drawer.

I get the same feeling I had at age 5
when I wanted to stick my little fists
deep into the bunches of tube socks.

Now I glance about
hoping no one sees
me rootling around
for unique garments
with my pointy nose.

My face wanders through
a mist of soaps floating above
her white, lightly milk maidens.

All Right Now (Lyrics)

jrho99@yahoo.com — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 18:00:00 +0100

I don't know when

I'm going to change my ways

I don't know when

There will be better days

But I'm all right now

The winds have blown away

I'm all right now

I said goodbye to yesterday

And I don't need

What never came

Anymore

And I don't need

Words never said

Anymore

< [...]

Bad Things That Could Happen To Me But Haven't

speak_4_the_trees@yahoo.com — Mon, 26 Nov 2012 18:00:00 +0100

Toe bitten off by an alligator,

Joined the campaign of Ralph Nader,

Been crucified for someone's sins,

Licked green garbage off trash bins,

Inducted to become a nun,

Arm replaced with a Gatling gun,

Shot dead while escaping prison,

Paid to kill and collect pigeons,

Had the wrong leg amputated,

Tried to paint and got frustrated,

Crashed a plane into Ebbet's Field,

Lost my car keys and windshield,

Kicked out by Amis [...]

Come Winter, But Not Now

skitty_kiddy16@hotmail.com — Tue, 16 Oct 2012 18:00:00 +0100

There is beauty in the stale fireplace air

Signs of Autumn in it's first glow

Today we cry

for someone who has died

The tears are complicated

because we are all related

We miss his face

We know his has a new grace

Tired beyond belief

Yes, Lord I am.

Tried beyond belief

Where sleep is no relief.

Tired beyond belief

Where I loose confidence.

Tried beyond belief

The Turning Day (Blues Lyrics)

jrho99@yahoo.com — Tue, 31 Jul 2012 18:00:00 +0100

I'm on my way

to see the Devil.

I'm almost there,

I'll be there soon.

'Cause what I need

ain't in Heaven,

Got to sell my soul

to ease this pain.

It's been a long

and troubled joourney,

And all my roads

have been dead ends.

But I go on

takin' on

Whatever comes

wi [...]

Time

If I had all the time in the world,

I would accomplish amazing things.

I could climb Mount Everest

Many times,

Starting from my bedroom

And even in my sleep.

I could learn a hundred foreign languages

And make up a hundred more,

Or teach everyone to understand each other

No matter what words they hear.

I could build cities with vitality and care

For all people who live in them,< [...]

For Elizabeth

. . . long ago we played in your parents' garden

and in sixth grade...

tragedy reworked in our novice hands....

Our play, Jomeo and Ruliet comes to mind... (what fun!)

... we had the entire class cast in our spell...

Now, years later . . . I watch you lead a full college of women...

... as I muster the courage to get out of bed.. [...]
