Dancers

Dancers, they sit
after the show
like motion halted
unlike the dance
The moves they made
on pizza and beer
left the saut de chat
the arabesque
and soubresaut
on stage as ghosts

Four Liners From The Deck

To you
to me
to us
to we

There are things
about our past
the future holds
some won't last

As we renew
as we digress
as we specify
as we profess

She's a mystery
who sent her here?
I love her dearly
I want her near

Met a girly
who isn't Jenny
that's my name
hers is unknown

I love beer
like it's a lover
take the top off
to discover

I am sexy
so they say
do believe them
have your way

The clouds rolled by
the Sun was hidden
the people lingered
over thoughts forbidden

Meet you
eat you
fuck you
love you

If you're the paper
and I'm the pen
will write upon you
until you say when

She caught my eye
I saw her bling
she glared at me
I don't care

He planted a wet one
upon my cheek
asked if married
I lied, I'm weak

I want to think
about the past
of things we had
of things that last

I drink beer
upon this deck
write these poems
what the heck

Now I know
and so it goes
my beer is empty
that fucking blows

Beach Day Four liners

If you're the beginning
and I'm the end
Let's start with you
and I'll pretend

I opened the door
and there you stood
looking fine
as I knew you would

I want to know
about the time
when I didn't know you
when you weren't mine

If I'm the bag
and you're the stuff
fill me up
I hold enough

I locked my bike
to the pole
Peace of mind
it plays a role

I drank a beer
and watched the shore
I thought of you
and wanted more

You paddled by
around the moat
You went in circles
I didn't gloat

The sun is hot
though I am warm
My heart pumps blood
that explains everything

I remember
about the time
you were with me
the thought sublime

What If

What if our eyes
met on the horizon?
An edge
of wetness, subtle
and sweet
The wind extends
its reach
beyond boundaries
curved to blow 'round
as our eyes meet

When You Laugh

When you laugh

you love yourself

When you make me laugh

I love you, too

Oh Today III (four liners)

I miss Jimmy
Cass and John
MJ, George
and Janis gone

I am here
on the deck
so are you
you want to neck?

A gentle breeze
the sun shines on
our thoughts contrived
until far gone

I saw people
walking by
waving hands
to say good bye

I'm a thinker
and a tinker
I'm a winker
and a blinker

Hipsters
ripsters
lipsters
nipsters

I love you
Oh big deal
You'll be gone
and time will steal

I like beer
in this heat
I'll drink one
then repeat

The deck table
has an umbrella
to block the sun
and cool the fella

That I want you
is so clear
You're delightful
I want you near

Oh Today II (four liners)

I will sin
to the radio
you won't like it
you'll change the channel

I saw a cowboy
in a hat
he had swagger
which confused me

I love my watch
which tells time
beyond that
it has no purpose

Love the one
you are with
CSN sang
such a gift

I saw your dick
I saw your pussy
I can't decide
show me mercy

you are mine
to approach
to say nice things
 above reproach

I love the wind
and the sun
you are here
bring on the fun

I love the foam
that lined my mouth
I swallowed deep
the beer went south

I am sure
my beer is empty
the wind blew
my cup away

If they don't know
what I am saying
Then I need to
use more words

Oh Today I (four liners)

I rode my bike
to meet my friend
we ate our fill
did not pretend

My beer is empty
I want service
Please bring more
You make me nervous

not really


I asked her
to turn it up
the music's fine
the wind abrupt

I saw a cloud
was but a puff
of fluffy white
and empty stuff

I reached out
my hand to birdie
my finger to perch
I'm no Dr. Doolittle

If you're the driver
and I'm the truck
I'll slow down
I'm no fuck

Some beer spilled
onto the chair
looked like urine
pooling there

I met my friend
he is cool
he defends
He's a jewel

So bizarre
just one cloud
heat source there
not too loud

I saw a bug
drink from a pool
it was beer
the bug staggered

She walked by
and didn't look
not at my smile
nor at my nook
