for Roberta,
and for my sons Aubrey

Odes to Life & Love

Erato
Like Radine, the star crossed lover
Of antiquity, I invoke you.
Guide my quest through life
To seek consolation in artistic expression
Become my mistress!
When you call, I will follow:
Because you quench my desire,
Satiate my longing, solace my despair.
I finally stand naked, vulnerable, alone.
Yet reborn in my confession,
My revelation, my salvation.
Visit me once more, for the night is falling,
And I am at risk.
Come, sweet Muse, and rescue me.
Lest I spiral down,
Adrift in an ocean of doubt, fear,
Loneliness, regret and heartache.
Erato: My Muse, my mistress.
Inspire me!

Para Mi Amor
Riches were never mine
Only love can I give
Being the sole gift
Equal to what I receive
Rob me of innocence
Take possessions away
After all, there is you.
Butterfly
Like a butterfly
That sheds its cocoon
When the time has come
My heart too
Has taken wings
And now it’s on the run!

Passage
Oh to free our minds of thought
And escape the boundaries
Of consciousness
To navigate the universe.
Like the wombs we came from
Our passage to freedom
Awaits us.
Reality
Who threw out the garbage?
I’ll have the pumpkin pie, please
Then make it up in carnage
Even if I have to freeze
Watch me run out in the nude
How do we ever manage?
Don’t you dare be so crude.
Is this all life is? You tease.
Just a brief comic interlude.

Illumination
We are put here
A little dot
In an ocean of sky
To understand the plot
We can only try
We are put here
A little spot
What’s the difference?
So What
We can all fly.

By The Fire
Come sit by the fire
We’ll roast marshmallows,
Gaze at the stars
Talk about dreams
It’s warm and comfortable here.
Come sit by the fire
Look towards tomorrow
The night will open its arms
To embrace us
Come sit by the fire
Next to me.

This Room
This room I have built
Lets in the sunshine
Keeps out the rain
Harbors the joys and the sorrows
Conquers the loneliness and the pain
This room I have built
This room I have built
Enables me to share
The blessings of love
And the hardships to bear
This room I have built
Is my life.

Eyes Open
When I open my eyes
What’s there for me?
A world overwhelming
So hope I must borrow
To keep my soul free
From the elation and despair
The truth and the lies
If I wake tomorrow
The new day will bring
What is meant to be
When I open my eyes
What will I see?
What’s there for me
When I open my eyes?

Who Could Say?
As I walk along my way
I will contemplate the day
That stretches before my eyes
And causes me to realize
Most of what I sought was mine
In that lesson I can find
That life was really not unkind
Just perhaps a camouflage
Appearing like a desert mirage
Of a truth we cannot know
Or a dream that would not show
Where we are and where we’ve been
Who could say this was a sin?
To be blessed, so I pray,
As I walk along my way.

Cape Cod
The horizon melts
Into the sky
While weathered dunes
Stand guard
Holding back
The surging tide
My thoughts wander
In an aimless tumble.
As the restive wind
Caresses my cheek
The ocean’s spray
Washes me
My spirit is revived
And I breathe anew
The cool fresh air
Along the shore
On Nauset Beach.

Dos Amigos
I’m looking forward to seeing you
After such a long time
How do we break the ice
To renew an old friendship?
Offer an awkward embrace,
Perhaps a kiss on the cheek?
Who will begin our conversation,
And what do we say?
Will your
