6 Poetaster I feel like a stranger to myself. Passionate for answers ones I may never know: The bee gathers nectar, he knows! The bird flies south, he knows! The poet documents his soul, he knows! that he knows nothing. 1

7 Before the Storm Wet the Earth A ladybug landed on my knee as I sat alone in a meadow awaiting the rain. With its tiny head cocked and a trust in my silence it seemed to ask, "Do you think I am beautiful?" But all I could do was look away and wonder what stories my face was telling. 2

8 Twelve and 12 Becoming twilight softens another midsummer day: stars spark up, the moon pulsates, oceans flinch, day aborts, night reclaims dignity; everything sleeps and everything awakens the sun has pulled away my shadow. Blushing dawn ascends the misty green hillside: stars flicker out, the moon hides away, night departs, day reclaims strategy; everything awakens and everything sleeps the sun has tossed back my shadow. 3

9 The Existence of You Morning delicate thirsty the sky yawns earth stretches... You near the ending of a peaceful, romantic dream. The silence of night subsides, you open your eyes two emeralds shine beneath the sun. Another day is born, another morning blessed. Such simple truths are easily told by the existence of you. Night romantic alive the stars shine earth sighs... You smile and all things are curious a shooting star passes over your essence. Another twilight has come, another night takes the stage. Standing ovations are easily understood by the existence of you. I hear them... I hear them whenever I'm around you the subtle, graceful heartbeats of angels. They surround you like butterflies gone mad. And all my love for this world, all my love for beauty, for nature; all my love for life was awakened by the existence of you. 4

10 About Love We do not need thoroughfares when love seeks the heart Such is the way of love always destined, never sought We do not need gold coins when love comes without cost Such is the value of love always priceless, never bought We do not need a wise man when love speaks through art Such is the beauty of love always instilled, never taught And we do not need a ruse when love surrenders to us all Such is the enigma of love always mysterious, never caught 5
