2044. On Solitude

I see yachts
Lots
Lone
Without
Owners
Ripples
On water
A beach
Without sand
Sailboats
Distant
On the bay
Oakland's
Mounts
Barren
And whitecaps
Fast moving
Away
Pale
Blue
Skies
Shine
A flag waves
A jogger passes
The scene is
Tranquil
But lacking
Joy

Life in San Francisco

2043. Natural Truth

It's not your fault
That I loved you
And you cared not
For me
What is there
To blame
In your behavior
You lapped up
My attention
And purred
In the glow
Of my affection
How could I
Hate you
For being true
To your nature

2042. Life Spirit

The tree
Across the street
Undulates
Dancing
To the music
Of the wind
Rain thrilling
Each leafy
Fingertip
Branches
Like arms
And hips
Swing
To a complicated
Rhythm
With choreography
Mesmerizing
Who says
It has no spirit
The life inside
Is evident

2041. (This Year's Twitter) Revolution

Great hardship
Spawns
Resurgence
Will
And fierce
Endurance
Revolution
As the sufferer
Has nothing
To lose

Twitter
A fast
Mechanism
For social
Martial
Organization
Fueled a furor
Still in progress

Messages
Bred
Of technical
Limitation
To create
A heart beat
Of one hundred
Forty characters
Only

Are changing
The face
The life blood
Of history

2040. For the One

This is for the husband
I thought I had
The one, who loved me,
Glad to see me
Full of joy and affection

This is for the husband
I thought I married
The one, who kissed my hand,
Looked in my eyes and
Saw their hazel hew
Spiriting to me the thought
"I belong to you"

This is for the husband
I wish I had
The one imagined
Other than this man
Varnished with false hope
Born from my deepest lack
For consistency, loyalty, kindness
And passion

This is for the husband
Perhaps yet to be
Come fill my life
With playful fantasy
My promise to you:
Many years of wonder
And joyful imagination

2039. Crescent Moon

Crescent moon
On blue black
Velvet
Breast, beard,
Or butt cheek
How can this
Night beauty
Appear
So lurid
An image of
Sci fi
Fantasy

2038. Remember

I remember what it felt like
To be in love with you
Arms and legs entwined
No yours or mine

I remember what it felt like
To be in love with you
Fingers clasping, soul wrapping
Every inch finding an inch of you

I remember what it felt like
To be in love with you
Two heads, one pillow
No thought of tomorrow

I remember what it felt like
To be in love with you
Every sense at peak awareness
In bliss, in rapture we two

I remember what it felt like
To be in love with you
Total focus in the moment
Time melted; we became immortal

I remember what it felt like
To be in love with you
Seconds stretched; hours blended
No day or night outside your bedroom

I remember what it felt like
To be in love with you
Human, alive, transcendent
Two people in one love, one vibrant life in two
