It started in the fall
Sunlight on her hair
It whispered to the moon
Stars took it all from there,
Now that was long ago
But the orchestra still plays
Notes of love and laughter
As it did in those early days,
Yes it started in the fall
With sunlight on her hair
When the moon and stars
Stitched them as a pair.

One day I said,
One day I will hold
You close,
Feel your breath
On my neck,
The press of your
Nipples on my chest,
The heat of your lips
Mouthing mine,
One day I said,
One day I will follow,
Follow where you
Will lead me.

You write some
You read some
You win some
You lose some
And on and on,
You realize that
Fading left or
Fading right or
Riding the seam
Down the middle
The rush is pretty
Much the same,
Depending on
What goes on
In your head.

So here we are,
Spring flirting with us
Into the last week
Of April,
Like some of the
Sweet strangers
On MySpace,
That mystical mysterious
Masquerade that was
Until a billionaire
Blew it up,
That place that Facebook
And the new come alongs
Will never capture,
Back to spring,
If it doesn’t get
Its clothes off soon
It will be summer and
Spring two-thousand twelve
Will be relegated to the annals
Of virgin seasons,
Seasons that never
Were.

It was like any other
Last Wednesday of the month,
Wednesday came at midnight
And left at midnight,
In between those hours
Welfare money was spent
On booze and drugs,
The streets echoed with
Drunken conversation,
Police and fire truck sirens,
And eerie cries and moans
From the high, the inebriated,
And those suffering from
Various mental illnesses,
Some who saw raised their
Hands palms up with a
Shrug and what can you do,
Those who didn’t see
Or pretended they didn’t
Hurried away to their
Homes and apartments.

The step to realizing
That thinking and
Doing are one in
The same,
Is as profound
As it is simple,
As square as
It is round,
The realization
Where fickleness
Cannot be found.

He seemed to be living
In his car,
Wore a dress
Played guitar,
Danced around
His Barbie dolls
Said he was a Shaman,
Then there’s all
The rest of us,
Doing what we do
To one another,
Do aliens ever
Watch and wonder,
What in the hell
We are.

So they tell us
Solar fares are on
The move,
The sun’s
About to shift
Its poles
And the earth
Is getting restless,
I don’t know
Where this
Finds you,
But my phone
Went garbly
Twice today,
My computer sits
On the death
Of blue,
If it all
Goes tits up
Overnight,
I’ll never see
You naked.

In the surreal world of
How far have we come
I ran into a virgin writing
A self help how to book
On the intricacies of love,
Sex and intimate relationships,
It brought to mind a picture of
A politician reading a speech
About open and transparent
Government, honesty and integrity,
The politicians are beyond hope or help
But there’s always the possibility that the
Virgin will get screwed and write a sequel.

A new moon past
Midnight
Thoughts off of
The rails,
A red head sweet
Smiling
Aloft in the
Sails,
A drunk with
A chai tea
A man with
A horn,
A group of
Street people
Tattered and torn,
It’s spring
On The Island
The sun’s
Peeping through,
Thoughts about
Meeleirrek
Dance out
Of the blue.
