Sol's Stray Poetry

All poems are strays seeking their mythical family all songs are cries against the dark empty all psalms are balms  for aching souls all proverbs are heeded by the world weary  beneath the sky above the ground all hope is found where it's most needed.

New Love Falling upward wingless flight wheeling to open sky to the perilous sun ascending to quick height all cautions ignored this surge of new love elevates aloft with glee by rapturous cord you're free from gravity. fttt

Neverending  waves and currents come in then draw back  no one counting  forty years working to retire on a beach then gone in four more draw back then come in currents and waves neverending.

Anyone understand           the enigma        of mind how it recalls and connects        in fresh fashion     like these inviting        purple grapes      and your excited        smile from so             long ago.

Is it wrong to long for a love that feels for once like the bracing shock of plunging my face into a morning bowl of icy water awake yes but not as before.

Death called my cell today I said it's a wrong number the voice replied they're all wrong numbers but anyway this is just a courtesy call meant to vex your thoughts for no good reason or rhyme how do I know you're even real I asked but the voice was quick and impatient now just try to hang me up it jarringly said you'll know I'm still here  it's a party line after all remember  those when you were never alone then I'll mark your call as spam I said feigning courage in the moment I'll report you then block callbacks it's a solid plan said death musing over the possibilities but you're still doomed from the start forgetting that I'm the agency of Last Reports.

Bright and perfect               globe of sweet peeling so easily               in nearly one skin  as if the citrus was just              as eager to share  its juicy gold              of ten cold slices two for you.

Back then  when days stretched  out like bubble gum when you could see your laughter as butterflies and breeze when running was  its own reason of  breathless moments  who would have known  entire decades could vanish  so completely as if  merely moving vans  gone around a corner.

Roots and branches  time and experience maybe one  could learn to be more like trees how they grow  two ways downward first   with gravity then upward  with sun.
