BB, my boy

My boy,
you scare me.

Smart 
Alex,or Great,
they have
nothing,
on you.

Your grasp
so wide;
your tiny fists
shake with
passionate fury.

Your widest grins
and wider 
grimaces
escape all
attempt at control.

You will surely
rule the World
or merely 
contend with
boundless passions.

Only time will tell,
my boy.

Wake-up 3: Wake him up in the morning

We wake him up in the morning
Get him up,
have him breakfast.

It's time to have his
breakfast surprise.

Ooooohhhh
ohhhhhh
It's a Basey-nut time.

Haiku - Soft Rose Thorns


Years of writing prose
All the tears and sweat 

Have come close,
To curdle my soul.

Walking with Angels

Walking hand in hand with Angels.

I feel deeply profane;
and
unworthy.

I wish
(dear God, I wish..)
I knew
exactly,
how,
I could barely suffice,
to partly, nurture their Graces.

Haiku - Cents through the hourglass


Synonymously
Dusty dollars, sandy cents
Rei(g)n through the hourglass.

Haiku - Come on in!


Don't concern yourself,
With all of the snakes and sharks.
The water is fine!

Do you miss it?


Do you?
You know,
Miss it?

Maybe...

But then,
In the remembering,
The dirty details
Are always more sordid
And forgettably,
Thankfully,
Forgotten.

My Fundamemtal Problems



The time has come
Again
To look
And to peer deeply
At my
Fundamental
Problems.

God knows why you
Again
Do this
Over and under
Around
And throughout my
Problems.

I guess it takes
All sorts
Who do
Service and giving
Making
Things right for me.
Myself,

I couldn't do
All sorts
Deal with
My shitty problems
Couldn't!
Won't stand for them,
Myself.

Paradox Surrounding Contradiction Enclosing Bags of Meat



A bubble riding a wave,
A raindrop falling in the dark.

Uniquely precious,
Endlessly repeated.

A whole lifetime spent
In a single languid wink.

Wake-up 2: Morley has woken

Morley has woken,
like the first morning.

Tui has spoken,
to Morley-girl.

Praise for the Morley,
praise for the morning.

Praise for the dawning,
the breaking day.
