a beacon written away

the old lighthouse is dark now. a ghost light appears on some holidays. most likely kids shining a flashlight beam at the top of the light for the tourists. the metallic ring of a bell in the harbor and the light disappears. a hundred and seventy five years ago the ghost was flesh and blood. the face of the old keeper looks lost now. a statue is all he is. the oil house is gone and there is nothing left to do.

longings
the way a ships lights
blink in a storm

Most likely will never be ‘published’!

a living statue of goodness

some people are hard to be friends with. they are so much more than that. inspiration has no value it is truly priceless.

a guitar solo
says it all
a wail into the one

Most likely will never be published!

drunk and reading the poems of others

poets can wrap their hands around your naked heart from thousands of miles away. across the atlantic i touch the pain of another.

it seems
like a week ago
that i cried this hard
