WhatIReallyWant

There is one thing

That I want more

Than anything beneath the

Tree but since I

Don’t have a tree

Maybe you will be

Standing outside my door

On that Christmas morn

StrongCoffee

One more early am

Sitting here with some

Throaty jazz and pot

Of strong coffee forcing

Humanity into my mind

After a night of

Bawdy abandon with dreams

Of past soon to

Be past and yet

To be past lovers

And sitting here imagining

Having this same coffee

And it’s over conversation

WithHelloCameSpring

And like the late

Winter sun that sat

Low on the horizon

And crept through thickets

Of peeling white poplar

And inched to the

Waters frozen edge melting

It creating just enough

Room for fish to

Sigh so was your

Hello to my heart

It gave the snow

Crusted marshland of my

Soul just enough hope

For spring to happen

OoofUghErMorning

Feeling like heavy crude

Freshly pumped from the

Wells of my nighttime

My mind needs refining

To remove the skeletal

Dreams laid waste there

Crushed by life’s pressure

And sifted through coffee

Causing me to cuckoo

Good morning to friends

CityJazzMorningCoffee

There is just something

About delicate jazz chilly

City mornings and coffee

It’s like home here

Wherever here may be

And when you come

Out to me swimming

In my sweatshirt and

Nothing else to kiss

Me and sip mine

And sit across me

I know this much

City jazz morning coffee

Is all the heaven

That I’ll ever need
