Whenever you speak
With that flashy, rumbling smile
We ignore the rain

smiles beginning
Do you choose the music you wrap yourself in
Or does it choose you
How does it begin
I’d lay bets you reach out
With willowy fingers
And some silken spider’s web smiles
And ensnares you as you thoughtlessly smile back
Coaxing it close around you, knowing you’ve no need to grasp
And this music and this you and this ease
Finds us ensnared in the silk and the silly
Smiles beginning
Selfsame: A Haiku
Nothing Only Light
Carry on with sport of such great import
Continue conversing sublime inside joke
Convince all around your indifference to
The light and the breath who did just say goodbye
Covet the thought she knows not where she’ll roam
She knows not where she’ll roam
Curious thing, she’ll walk boldly with grace
Caress life’s left wrist, stare softly at truth
Conceived by the greatest and most perfect Will
The light and the breath it’s her honor to carry
Convicted her roaming will do just great good
She knows just that she’ll roam
Back To The Future: A Poem
Born of a curveball and dazzling smile
Perfecting Them everyday since
There was no way of knowing you hoped to be captured
And held and then softly convinced
But I did the dance you demanded of her
And I own the field quite fine, thanks
This smile you made and that smile I own
Equal forever in rank

This Haiku: Hello Here
In a photograph
Is where you should find yourself
While my shutter smiles
