Tigress is alert / The Village of Wolves attacks / Pounce. Roar. Wolf no more.
At Angry Canine's / Revealed to her my secret / Sweet kiss she returned.
Up on stage at 'Dog's / Her smile is radiant, but / I REALLY can't sing.
Her beautiful smile / On the darkest of mine nights / I will remember.
In that dress she wore / this bathycolpian babe / took my breath away.
She asked me to dance / I don't know how to salsa / My class starts next week.
Friendly kiss at Che's / Sometimes all we really need / Is to feel desired.
And so, time to leave / for thirty days and nights away / will she think of me?
Back at the office. / I used to love what I do. / Now it's all a haze.
It isn't working. / I've labored at it for months. / Stress unbearable.
Task. Task. Get it done! / They're all depending on me. / How did I get here?
Reflection in glass. / I can see a face staring. / Who is this person?
Distant mountains wait / outside my office window / Someday I'll be there.
Thick clouds, fog and snow / Fiercly attack the front range. / Despite past failures.
An innocent gift / She desires to delve deeper / Is it worth the risk?
To know somebody / to view their unfiltered thoughts / is this a good thing?
In my younger days / a kiss was so powerful / Like a drug of choice.
Crack from the moisture / burning leaves, hand rolled with love / my sublime cigar .
I took off my shoes / grabbed the carpet with my toes / Pretended 'twas grass.
Thick white clouds of smoke / graceful patterns in the air / alone with my pipe.
Cloudy, chance of storms / Not sure what the weather is / Mood front coming in.
Majestic beauty / White peak rises above all / foothills genuflect
Sometimes I wonder / If she came with directions / would life be so hard?
Cold mexican beer / Takes me back to days of yore. / Girls and hangovers.
crystalline blue skies / Clouds so pure they imply faux. / Was the hue altered?
Had a beer last night. / Bar reeked of Aqua Velva. / They still make that stuff?
I think some mothers / would prefer a day alone / than with noisy kids.
Drowning in habit / Days fail to give oxygen. / I struggle to breathe.
While you are asleep / On her tiny chariot / granting your wishes.
Baggage claim 16 / Cased lives going round and round / We watch in silence.
She asked me to go / A weekend in sin city / a brief pause, then no.
Morning fog rolls in / Shadows absent from the land / eyes watch from the trees.
End of a long day / A moment frozen in time / Breeze drifting on by.
Another city / another strange hotel bed / familiarly foreign.
I wake up flying / Soaring high over the land / Surreal hangover.
Beautiful spirit / Thoughts of me are on her mind. / Anticipation.
A slow steady cruise. / Top down, blaring some Mozart. / Sun beats on my shades.
Finally I left. / Enough of her churlish games. / Lonely self respect.
