Coffee Ice Cream

Words nourish me

Fill me up to saturation

Desert storm deluges

Soak my soul

As two scoops of Hagen Dazs coffee ice cream

With peanut chips and hot fudge.

Do faucets like wells ever dry up completely?

Will these fingers ever stop talking?

Or run out of things to say

To discuss or argue or [...]

Courage Disguised As My Brother

We have a lot of history

      You and I

Met when I was eight

And you were brand new. 

Been locked in combat ever since

Taking sides

Creating insignificant battles

About family matters and such. 

You are my mirror and I am yours.

I see my soul reflected in your eyes

As you reveal me [...]

Fear

many kinds

of bars on windows

types of locks on gates

holding us in

with no skin

to protect the soul

Fierce

Disappear fear

Of unconscious feelings

Carried so long

So far, so deep

Toss them aside

In blue recycling containers

Like plastic bottles

I pick up hiking the glorious desert

So worshiped and adored.

For who would wish

To leave it messy

Messy outside

Like me inside?

Permit him joyous entry

Knowing I’ve been

Waiting for [...]

Longing

  Though I’ve worn my heart

Upon my sleeve (and around my knees)

More times than I care to remember

Or talk about in mixed company.

There is that special place I keep for you

Like the bag that’s packed

With brandy colored lipstick, ginger cologne

A little black dress, and cream lingerie

That ignites [...]

Me, New & Improved

                                     Feelings…

                                                          like butterflies

                                                in spring

                                       are coming

                                             in all directions at once.

              An open book

      every nuance

          written on my face

                in my eyes.

Like seventh grade

           when every look

                 every boy

  crushed your ego, or

            broke your heart.

Has it been…                  

          so long

       since [...]

Slymans

Small, crowded delicatessens

Commonly known as delis

With uncommon smells of heaven

Emanating from the front door.

Sounds of serious determination

As slicers carve corned beef

Pastrami…

Low fat turkey breast

With mayo or mustard

On rye (with seeds or without)

Or pumpernickel as the mood strikes.

Animated discussions

Between Marlboro, Camel men

Sitting at [...]

Smoky Jazz

The wailing sounds of sadness

Of saxophones and whispering guitars

Massage my ears

The right side of my neck

A hand lingers on the inside of my thigh.

 

The small of my back

Longingly remembers the [...]

Volcanoes Erupting

 

Feelings…                                     

 …unacknowledged since childhood

            are erupting

                           like open wounds

 not properly cleansed with antiseptic.

     Mourning my losses

               resolving my fears

 become the purpose of each day.

 

Emotional scars

               ignored too long,

                      forgotten,

                                       locked away

                                                deep in ones’ subconscious,

                                       not dealt with,

                   [...]

Where Does the Train Go, When It Leaves Munich?

Watching © by Joshua Liberman – The Tao of Photography

A tiny frightened child stands

At the bottom of a hill 

          Watching…

As the train roars by

Through the tall pine trees

Wondering where it goes.

Does it take you far away?

To someplace warm, peaceful

A place where there is space to [...]
