Loved an Animal

Selfie With Kolo

Two souls
curled together
like the two sides of a heart
kindred souls
We explore
connect
enjoy life
together.

Open Your Heart to Joy

Fear of hurt
closes the heart.

Better to be fearless
and open my heart
to joy.

Love, after all
is invincible.

Music is a Higher Revelation

Tones
sounds and roar.
Storm
set them down in notes, dear Beethoven.

Inspire me.

Your music
is religion.

My Trip to Paris

With Maryanne in Paris

Paris in a coffee cup,
blurred real. Warm still.

My reward post chemo.
Life, not death.
Dreams
coming true
Lucky me
jubilant memory.

Thank you,
Alexandre Gustave Eiffel
Maryanne
God
Survival
Love.

Imagine my heart beats.
Ours now.

Magic of Christmas

My 2013 Tree

 The magic of Christmas is love.

Oh, what a perfect gift--
to share the perfect light
of your spirit
with the world!

Poetry Within

Blacksburg, Virginia

A master of the Realism genre,
Flaubert wrote slowly.
 Deliberately.
Choosing the perfect word,
 the best phrase,
 the most concise idea.

(Oh let me be that precise
and patient.)
