We’re living a lie; I don’t want it to be that way. We can’t talk, or caress. We don’t love … Oh, we say “I love you”, a convention – like a greeting; but it seems so empty, just words, without meaning. Said to give assurance, without conviction. As if pretending to the world, and …
I love the wide open west. A man can really stretch his eyes here. There is no hiding from God in this bare land, but why would you want to? Even here the fingerprints of man are visible, small scars on a big land. Created to remind us how small we are, by God’s invisible …
I’ve fallen in love with a younger woman, Or at least it seems I have. It may just be a sweet obsession But how do you know? I don’t think she is aware of it, And that is a good thing. I could be David, And she could be my Bathsheba, Except she isn’t married, …
I’m not usually attracted to blonds; their features invisibly bland. But YOU! Your eyes cut me like a knife — your lips bring long buried desires to life. Once in a thousand or ten thousand women I see that ignite a flicker of interest within me. But YOU! Your words betray an incredible mind; your …

I’m going to hate you in the morning, but I sure do love you tonight. Being alone is what I fear. What I crave is a soft touch and a sympathetic ear, a gentle caress during a quiet moment together. Love is a wonderful thing and I have much to give. But without someone to …
I watched a dragonfly die today.Its gossamer wings, bright blue markings and beautiful iridescent eyes:Terror of the sky. I wonder how many smaller insects met their fate in its crushing jaws during its brief season of life.Mosquitoes, gnats and flies:For it to live,They had to die. And now it sits quietly; Barely moving except for …
I went for a walk on this frosty Christmas Eve day It was cold but the sun was shining brightly, and I like it that way. My fingers grew numb from the chilling dew But little pools of sunshine warmed me as I passed through. Christmas festivities are in the air Excitement of children and …
