perhaps it was just the rain gutter saliva
of an after dawn sundown
overflowing it's band aided belly

or the haphazard obedience of the oaks
shimmering their waxed waistlines
behind the paper bag windows of a chevy

something drew me back to the woods of you
and the pickup truck dirt roads
of our love song's laughter

yes they contented me more often
than the pedigrees in boredom do now
when the serpentine of a gurkha satisfies

what the highway doesn't give back
to my loins in leather weatherproofing
from the gypsy winds without agendas

but I never did fear the follow boy
or his sniffing of the headless ends
of some other hounds pretty

and his bagger's coat pocketed full
of a china tributes in broken mirrors
without the handles of understanding

that being a book is really just being born

You have a certain way with words that I have never seen before. This is real poetry. We are not worthy, lol. I really like this. Cheers   - Ed

Ed, I don't think anyone could have
given a much better tribute to DS...

he makes you think on pondering,
and then wonder if we poets
have this very life
within our own
words.

Some do.

Some want.

We can only continue to try.

DS?


Thank you.  A great read!

yes
your words
with way of verse
have an unique way
of drawing one in
as they seep deep to the
very heart of the soul

My spirit will rise
above the sea~
There will be no drowning
of my soul or me~
