One more morning,after one more night,
One more thanks for keeping things right,
One prayer to bed,one as you rise,
Good morning God,thanks for another sun rise,
Prayer is the fuel that keep us going,
Through troubled times,pray for strength keep rowing,
And without fear step out,face the unknowing,
Although all around negativity blowing,
Every day,even one positive seed,try sowing,
Within my veins,God love is flowing,
God is my friend,the devil,not interested to know him,
Here comes the garbage truck,over there throw him,
Don't just say you love God,pray show Him,
Remember prayer keeps us,spiritual growing...

happiness,
When I close my eyes...and I see the night
Sometimes things...appear so bright
Smiling cheeks...and happy faces
Sunshine ~ Beautiful places
Ocean waves ~ Blowing willows
Babies snuggled in their pillows
Old men rowing in their boats
Youngsters passing, love you...notes
Happy women in sweet perfume
Newlyweds...on honeymoon
Chipmunks playing in the sun
Children running...having fun
When I open my eyes...and I see the day
Sometimes things...don't look that way
So let me close my eyes...tonight
And all I see, I'll see...just right

Rowing from sunken hell
Back to forgotten lands
Legs unready for earth
Slamming genius poetic art
So go tiny minds
Lost in central thought
Unaware of truth's reality
Making love to mirror

Being built from its foundation into tower scraping sky.
It can fly like no other bird to places never seen,
Even spaceships can only dream of taking its place."

Thoughts displaced by rolling palpitations,
From left to right grow these numbing sensations,
A face which spirals down, drooping from smile to frown.
Time hibernates in this moment protracted,
Legs bow and shake to our drama just acted,
Senses into overdrive, does pain show you’re still alive?
Oxygen masks, Coxes’ rowing commands,
Heart beat machines is what love demands,
“You need time to relax”, prescriptions from Quacks,
Is love just a commonplace heart attack?

Marriage is not a boat
rowing gently down the stream
It is a family car
that for years and years
surprisingly passed the MOT
The mechanic looks worried
asks carefully about
the possible possibility
of a new model
But you shake no
see you next year
we still like our ride
we do not care
about an extra rattle now and then
Fill her up with super plus
because we still have a long way to go

But, oh my bird,
Where you had flown,
When you will return ?
Happily I will row the boat

Moonlight Romance
It was in Peru
And the moon was full
Working long hours, I went early
To bed and didn`t see the moon that often
I had gone ashore where I met Maria in a bar
We walked down to the beach
Sat on an upturned rowing boat looking at Luna
Naturally, we made love on satin sand
Slept entwined
She walked back to the bar I walked onboard
Happy and thinking how wonderful life was
Five days later I needed an injection of penicillin.

Life is a bowl of cherries
With loads of luscious cream
It's a pocket full of peanuts
Or rowing a boat downstream!
Like snapping a turkey wishbone
And getting the larger piece
It's much like going parasailing
Or no longer being obese!
The soft cool breeze of summer
The warm sun upon our skin
Or a happy little birthday party
Some well played violin!
Like a happy family vacation
A trip to the stars and back
A piece of scrumptious apple pie
A tasty midnight snack!
Life can be about all these things
Just put your cares away
Ignore all those little wee problems
Enjoy life's sweet buffet!

humanity, people,
Blank slates made of innocent love
Etched with profound, faith bearing trust,
Infants true, pure character of
Natural heart is bound to rust
Growing perceptions shown by us.
Harvested from one, same, mother crop
Under one shared, immense, vibrant sky,
My life is your life even when life stops.
All we endure, we all endure by and by.
Networks of need echo in each soul’s sigh.

Though these days feel like dark
Nights, it is the Lord, and through
Me HE shines His light, so much
Darkness, but yet so bright, and
He's speaking to me, so I know
What's right, the Lord didn't ground
Me, but planted a seed, so my
Love for the Lord is growing,
So up stream is where I'm rowing,
My flowers are blooming, and
Now through me the Lord is
Moving... "AMEN"

love, sad, sea,
Tip, tap,
toes rowing
across the blue
surface of the sea-
breezes play with my hair,
tangly messes of blond rope
form for the salty air to climb-
Sun shining bright on his throne of Noon
[The moon in her brig, in chains, wrought with stars]
My skin, dry with erosion from
wind blowing to my white gown; Sails-
In blue hallucinations,
In southwest oceans,
I come to you,
I see you,
In dreams.

death, funeral, love,
Writing for nobody,
I knew you like a shadow
of shy affiliation;
but with a kind smile.
You unknowingly rippled
the banks of this small place.
It is so beautifully tragic
the love you created and left.
If...
But I'll tip the rowing man
to take you wherever,
and if the skin was your chain
you're free.
Sometimes life begins without you,
Sometimes the end begins with you,
Everyone is made of sometimes, some things
and a compass
pointing through strain.
Find peace.

introspection,
In a thin-skinned lifeboat,
On the waves of love,
With the cold blue below,
And the hot sun above,
Sits a soul softly rowing,
Like the wings of a dove.
As the heat of sweet resistance,
Echoes hard with pure insistence,
Then, in the midst, a sound is heard,
Of the song of an unseen bird.

loss, lost love, mystery, god, god, love,
Whisht! They are sleeping
Have no fear, have no scull
In a juggling sea ,rowing
Like her hairs, life is also curl
Oh hermit! Took them to their shrine
No not to mosque, lead them to vault
Where might an idol give them some wine
Never hesitate, its virtue not fault
They are not sinner, they are forlorn
Be happy you love to an unseen God
See Him and lost ,then you are lovelorn
Like, who worshiped to their beautiful lord
They do love to their beloved to win hell
You do love to God to win a heaven
And living to listen the ringing of paradise’s bell
But they can kill themselves on her smell

confusion, girlfriend-boyfriend, lost love,
Stormy seas have hit our bay,
tight fit for words edgeway,
where's the carefree fun and play?
watching every word I say.
This argument, I forget who started,
compassion seems far departed,
to our corners off we darted,
like Red seas that mose's parted.
It pains me to see you act like this,
your forked tongue, it's venomous hiss,
caress hurts away with a kiss,
it's the little things that I miss.
The passions that do alight,
from our feuding silly fight,
made love through the night,
as ******'s peaked in sheer delight,
each other's arms we await the morning light.

identity,
Conditionality of your love is exploding under my fingers,
under one of my potential hands
What took place goes forward and returns.
Fear and my back against the wall.
I hear voices deafened by my attempts,
Somewhere in the distance,
gliding over the edge,
inviting the banality.
Identification and it's number.
Components and they're for me.
I'm standing on a stair, on a relative elevation,
And mute everything, rowing with a low tone.
The full scope and the end
Everything what's happening is crashing against my recultance to be here.

Bird shat on my car
Spent afternoon at car wash
Bird followed me home
Playing poker now
Everyone reading my face
My wager; all in
Having a small pair
Pushing in an all in bet
River hit; awesome
Scoring my dog food
My spot playing hide and seek
Enjoying my nod
I grind for hours
Rowing against bad rivers
Good cards; finally
Alone in the dark
To adore and love oneself
Thank stars for lotion

spiritual,
Invite God to fill our being with joy
Growing gently, exhuming ego ploys
Night and day, gripping us in ecstasy
Infusing calm, tranquil serenity
Thirst for divine connect grows day by day
Ignorance ego borne, yet makes us sway
Oh hermit, in silence, simply align
Negating the lower, seek love divine
We look on as bliss invades us in swarms
Ignition rapture vivifying form
The Sushumna aglow, as nectar flows
Heightened ecstasy thus in stillness slow
Isness of being-ness in love parlance
Negating nothing, plays in innocence

absence,
We are but two beings new to love,
New to loving, kissing and hugs,
New to this torment called love,
New to staring together at the clouds and stars above.
How many kings fell in love?
How many queens were given the ones they loved?
We are but two of the few lucky ones,
Rowing our boats, fishing it all in this stream called love.
To be loved and to be loved back,
Oh what a feeling Shakespeare could explain in so many words,
True beauty rises from the dust of the heart,
For dust to dust we all return.
We are but two beings new to love,
New to touching each others hands,
To give comfort in this torment called love,
After all where would we be were it not in love?

He is
A-nother moment that i can breathe
M-emories of my childhood dreams
A-mused by the likes of me
Z-oned into what he is to be
I-nspirational scene
N-ever to be apart
G-rowing closer,
everything you'll never be.

The unwed moon
rowing like a swan on blue lake
after making love to silence.
Dignified shadows
walk on black beach
gathering white heels.
Only lunatics will sing
in shapeless lines.
Who cares for a sequence ?
The milk of love
after the kids, in night
the moon was drinking nonstop.

loss, love, passion, sad,
Beneath her rowing
and the *********** of my death,
springs an inspiration to
rescue that dark-haired child.
Within her smile lies
razor-sharp cobwebs of misery
and a heart full of impatient words.
Proud words that fornicated
with despair and expelled
only truth.
I want to be your saviour
and call you my kitten.
I'd give you red ribbons
and stationery where
we could interpret the crimes
of every institution.
Oh Anne!
Oh lost, tortured soul--
my hourglass tears
could never reach
your hand.
