For Elizabeth

These are poems inspired by the love of my life.

Communion

This was originally published in the Pierce College Poetry Club annual.

Crossing the Arkansas at Morning Rush

We move like snails, I in my shell, you in your levees.

Hell's Shore

Down darkened halls With padded walls And no way out

High Mountains

I have been to the high mountains That have no fear of men

I Feel Like a King Today

My mind is flying higher than the realm of men

Melencholia

Seeing: Seeing: Aimless thoughts in flight

The Barbarian's Landing

In the gentle breeze that cooled that distant shore, A quiver stood, and fear road high.

Three Pieces in Time-

ONE In the insistence of the moment My mind was stopped

Time Moves Forward

Time moves forward Closing vaulted doors to yesterday;

Tree Poem

Strange sounds reverberating in my ear Muffling voices and slowing my pace

Warm

It was warm in March After winter's tundra cold

An Act of Love

I will never get this one right.

Dead End Street

Two versions (I never feel that any of my poems are finished)  of this poem.

Forgotten Treasure

Rummaging through the heaped rubbish In the attic we've filled with our lives Half-buried, I came across ...

Here

This is why I'm here today

OF ALL OUR DREAMS

Of all our dreams of things to be

Then

We talked, then. about a lot of things.
