Bluesday afternoon musings
. . .did you ever feel those lonely,
low-down rotten,
lord i'm sorry,
misery loves company,
i can't forget you,
don't want to
but can't be without you,
what a bummer,
down and dirty,
lonesome midnight,
full moon blues . . .

today you called
to tell me why
you acted strange
like you were shy
you said that things
had been so wild
you couldn't stop
that work was piled . . .
i said i'd guessed
a man had sent
those burgundy roses
and what he meant
i spoke of now
and why we live
and time is what
we take and give
we talked and laughed
and smiled and sighed
we wished and ached
we thought and tried
we said goodbye
and went our ways
missing nights
and missing days . . .

La Rubia
La Rubia de la noche 2008
What then this?
. . .when times were bold
and all was new,
and thoughts of future things
were lost in a trice,
in a world of many pigments,
nor would it have mattered
if t'were known
that all of life
was just one splice
in a line of many segments
and now the thoughts that stole my mind
are harmless to my touch
like a cat
considers mice,
so where then is the message
of existence hidden inside
of all those things that had a price.. .

thoughts . . .
thinkin' 'bout those mornin's,
'bout those afternoons,
thinkin' 'bout my lady,
the way she laughs and croons. . .
thinkin' 'bout those evenin's,
'bout those lovin' nights,
thinkin' 'bout my lover,
and all of her delights. . .
thinkin' 'bout those hardtimes,
'bout those good times too,
thinkin' 'bout my sugar,
and what we've both been through . . .
thinkin' 'bout those moments,
'bout these changin' times'
thinkin' 'bout my sweetheart,
and how she rings my chimes. . .
thinkin' 'bout what happened,
in the blinkin' of an eye'
thinkin' 'bout the ending,
how things went plumb awry. . .

Bike Tour - Rubicon
rolling roads
and rolling hills
rolling wheels
and rolling thrills
hot and tired
I rode with Ron
just to keep on
keeping on
seeing sights
we've never seen
seeing you
in chartreuse green

From Longview to Arp and back
fifty-four miles
Sleep o sleep
. . .circling o'er
the hours
and the years,
with wings of dark it flies,
at night so dark it gleams. . .
. . .deep within
our hidden thoughts
it glides beyond our eyes,
the creature of our dreams,
. . .in and out
the waves of sleep,
weaving lows and highs,
within nocturnal streams. . .
. . .it soars above
or just below.
often only mystifies,
or maybe so it seems. . .
