It's been a while... so here is a new one!


In an instant...

Through the wall we travel
into the chamber of creative vision
to be lost in a dream

Where one travels deiseil
along the spiraling Pachisi board
of rainbow colored tiles

Pawns of the Emperor
from whose omnipresent view
and casting of shells

Our every move becomes
a mechanical extension
driven by will and pleasure

And then...

We ascend above it all
rising into freedom once again
reveling in it's beauty

Allowing the flow
of shapes and colors
to be free again as well.

Living Long After



Living Long After

In the once fertile fields
wherein we toiled

there is retained a memory

that we are but spokes
in the wheel of Life

whose energy will remain
far beyond purpose here

Synergy 14 ~ Love

There are times when I write and just don't have an idea that seems to be fitting to showcase the words; when this occurs I usually place them in a folder named Musings or Unfinished Work. They become a part of a collection that doesn't get read or seen and so their energy is not dispersed, the seeds that are left on the shelf.

This verse is an example which has now been transformed by Jennifer Ravsten who started a Facebook page ~ஐ~Artworks~ஐ~....The purpose and hope of this page is to promote all artistic forms, to feature artists and give them a place to discuss their individual talents. We want only original music, art, writing, video and any other creative medium available to shine on this page. It is for Creative Minds At Work!

I have created many times in response to another poet's work and or taken pictures, artwork, or videos and placed with my own as inspirations which work both ways. This is the first time where it has been an intentional collaboration and I am looking forward to more.

Thank you Jennifer!

Galaxies of Love


Let's think of ourselves as collapsing stars as we start each day.


Let us set out to rearrange everything we have come to understand.


Let each of us create a new universe and weave galaxies of Love.

Neon Rhododendron

Neon Rhododendron - Charlie Riverman Bergeron 6/4/11


As the setting Sun
filters through
nearby trees
this neon brilliance
catches my eye
A passionate encounter

In which
you reach out
to hold the light
for just
one more moment
I hold my breath watching

Knowing you will
become still in the breeze
and capture your beloved
evening embrace
before the shadows
surround you for the night
