Even if not acknowledged or appreciated at the time. What ever we truly give of freely and openly from our hearts, never goes to waste.

A mermaid found a swimming lad,
Picked him for her own,
Pressed her body to his body,
Laughed: and plunging down
Forgot in cruel happiness
That even lovers drown.
W.B. Yeats - The Mermaid (1918)

Carry Bags
All our crucifixes
we carry,
in bags,
large and small
some simple and plain,
some with a fancy name,
leather bags,
and designer bags,
some adorned with gold.
If your lucky
maybe someone
comes along
to spare you the load.
unpublished, early 2000's

Love is a gamble.
You have to be willing to lose yourself to win.

it was all a blur, a sweet whirlwind of unexpected desire and intensity until it wasn't, apparently she wasn't even her self, yet gave me a glimpse of ecstasy I will never forget. That rare gift of freedom that reminds you, you're alive and forgiven.

Saudade
No rest for the wicked
just salutary obligations
to long over due observations
night time sports
with people of sorts
lunar park lunatics
and their likes
saudade.
Wet dogs and
small pond frogs
leap and gasp
for air to and fro
all the live long day
to no avail
of the coming death
do you see him?
The tiger
over there
at the glades edge
cunning, silent
claws of steel
to make a fine meal
of you and me.
Half devoured
half enamored
thinking about
the tough bits
even tigers can't swallow.
unpublished, early 2000's

To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour
from the Auguries of Innocense, by William Blake
