VirginiaBeach (to Black Bean)

And once again

Away you are

With those that

Love you most

Beach and ocean

Horizon white blue

Kissing ocean green

Sand and umbrellas

Laughter song love

Please be there

Now with them

Don’t wish me

There because I

Already am looking

Through your eyes

AuntiesSky

I do remember

Watching my auntie

Primp and preen

On Friday afternoons

For that nights

Fish-fry and bingo

At the end

And with the

Flourish of witchcraft

Slap slap slap

As powder exploded

Like cosmetic Armageddon

Creating a cloudy

Dust which slowly

Revealed the bluest

Of blue eyes

Blinking and sparkling

While yellowed teeth

Laughed broadly amused

Give a kiss

Right here boy

She would ask

Pulling me into

Her sunny magic

This is what

This mornings sky

Reminds me of

CouldWouldShould

And sitting atop

A grand magical

Forest green we

Wondered what if

We joined forces

You of magic

Me of beauty

Could would should

We change anything

In your world

As in mine

There are troubles

That we cannot

Prevent nor cure

There is pain

Suffering and despair

We are not

The harbingers of

Change but simply

Kings of possibilities

Only when the

World disgusts itself

By its selfishness

Only then will

They notice us

With hearts empty

And eyes open

WedMorn

Day is serving

A Neapolitan sky

Above the treeline

Burns strawberry peach

Just above that

Layered yellow vanilla

And beyond that

Dense dark blueberry

Even the moon

Can be seen

Like a small

White bitten cookie

Bungalows jostled close

To each other

Like feeding lambs

As door sounds

Follow the goodbyes

Life start here

Again this morning

StandUp (to my Bean)

The most painful

Thing for me

Is watching you

Fall and choosing

Not to run

To your side

At some point

In every boy’s

Life he’s got

To learn that

Only he can

Stand himself up

And face bullies

Whatever they are

This is the

Hardest and greatest

Gift anyone can

Give to someone

That they love

I pray that

You will rise
