The Wanderer 1

Gentle is the summer

Abstract patterns of

Traveler in strange dry

He fears traveling always

First born of my heart

Sacred red flame

Wandereing deserted

Running in falls chill

Golden moments spun round

The Wanderer 2

Love me, be my friend

The last day of summer

Oh other race of man

Let me show you the stars

Read now as I write

We shall meet in the Fall

Swaying telecabines cross

The far ridge rises high

Bittersweet memories

The Wanderer 3

I remember a girl

In the brightnrss

We're so afraid of big

disquisition

Cytoplasmic

alliteration

Summit resturant left

When we four met

In the darkest hours

The Wanderer 4

Inhibited I am

In the beauty of the

Go now softly

my life sleeps now

doors open

These are the dark days

He walks a shingled shore

Is it feeling, Dylan

What do I care about

The Wanderer 5

the moon lies on the land

Turn again to the road up

he said

What is time to you?

Word carvers, sculptors

Every line costs a sea

Time to turn the page

Where shall I go

Summer Song 1

You are the bridge

Poem is pain's child

Waiting for you

If I love you

Missing slim figure

Judi touched me

Cool clean bright morning

Sweet weight in my hand

Lee Fogerty

Summer Song 2

Patters of sunlight

When I think of love's

Sunset over rivers

Long awaited dusk gathers

In the moment of

Bursts of color over a

Small hands in my large

Sweet gentle Friend

When I awake and think

Summer Song 3

While I watch brooding

Crying in the joy of

Goodbye, Mother dying so

Was I ever so young

When we were in the

Lying in the dark

Drinking bad white wine

I live only in the

Dark head on white

Summer Song 4

I do not seek your soul

How can the world

As much comfort as I take

With pen in hand

When you call me,

Look homeward, my Sout

Once I held

Radiant

Murmurs in the park

Summer Song 5

I run I know not where

Two swallows

Cool in the dark

Fifty years and

Trying to hold onto youth

Sweating goddess

The trappings of life

After we kiss

Without pain and tears

Fear



Falling never to arrive

 

A feeling of weightlessness

 

A floating yet plummeting

 

Falling never to arrive.

 

 

Silent I fall and turn

 

First rotating on my axis

 

Then whirling head passing toes

 

Falling never to arrive.

 

 

From faint light to deep darkness

 

Through thick gray cold sightless clouds

 

Naked skin slick with cold sweat

 

Falling never to arrive.
