DROWNING FOR MORE
Are you drowning down here with me?
Amidst the twinkling night
Blue, do you see that ring of light
Do you think they sing?
Amidst the hills and valleys
Do you think they breathe?
Deeply of the trees and flowers
Would they stand and fight or flee like cowards
Would they jump with fright seeing a sight like ours
Alone in black, blue orb up high
Breathless floating with hearts sunk amidst the night
Feeling lost never seeing but for the world
Filled with lives, we're only dreaming
For more

WAY
Waterfalls of sweat and tears
Poor over Angel’s harp and the Devil drums
Into light speckled seas
And blood soaked wings
Demon’s run as God sings
and Morning’s dance to hell is flung
When the devil rises at night
Is it now done
Stomping him down again

__________________________________________
DANCE
Dance in the stillness of snow white sorrow
Pray to sky of fading rain
Sing of the black night
Carousel night and morning
Sing of 'morrow, silhouette contour,
Which is there? Sky or dancer
Either or both
There is an eye that sings
Of the night, dancer and fading rain

WISHING WELLS
Loveless hopeless hollow shell
Left alone to dream and be
With green wells
To paint and see
Life, but never live
To wish but never give
Or receive love from wells
Even half as deep

ELVISH
Windswept cheek and flower wreathed hair
Flowing,
Crowned and singing,
Voice resounding,
Princess of wood and field,
Dances in the meadows and tree shadows
With the wee folk and fairies
Swarming in the branches,
The elvish maid is home
Amidst the wild spirits and gnomes

Still small world
Grey silence
Cloudless void

Sleeping branches
And creaking curved wood
Holding a heart storming
For soon this brief peace
Shall pass

FRAIL STRUCTURES
Wonder why,
The world spins round,
While i sit on the ground,
Crafting up structures frail,
To shield myself from the gale,
When in fact all i do,
Is keep me,
From all of you,
Staying up on this hill,
I have lost my life and its will,
To live at all outside my shell,
I've forged a plight,
Of demons from,
My own personal hell

SING IN THE QUIET

Black tears rolling,
Whisper prayers under morning sun,

Wheeled the return of starlight

Sleep away sorrow sunken still,
Deeper than morning sun can reach

SHELL
Free spirit chained to earth,
With lust for crumbling crusts,
To waft away from dust,
And sing with body resounding
In skies, no longer floundering
In the dirt
Sing oh voice with throat so deep
From within,
That this shell once chained,
Now shackle it’s self, Shatters,
And song's epitome escapes

REST AND MOTION
Soothing silence, screams the white and pale,
To and from the black eclectic madness,
To breathe calm into addled minds,
Lost to the night sky,
Now found in the daylight,
To quell fears and hearten souls,
For the world a new,
Of dark and strange places,
Your going tomorrow
Ever and always
The ne'er ending cycle
A dance of rest and motion
A balance Life's lost in

PAINT THE WORLD
Paint the world with soul,
Body in motion,
Sing to the sun of the moon lit nights
Whisper to the stars of Bluer Skyes
Carve mountains into your life
Dance brush and pen across walls and ceiling,
Sculpt grass and hedge into lover's hearts
With windswept fluttering
Sail off the charts

FATE?
Pensive ponderous painful wisdom sought
Gained to be traded for moment's laps in love
To seek no more, for a star-crossed fate
Eyes perceive all the pain
Past and gone perhaps to repeat
And fill lungs again with brief heart-full sighs
But time all too soon to stifle tears
Though fought may inevitably arise

__________________________________________
FEAR OF NIGHT
Creeping black whispers
Inching out of corners
Patches of forgotten night
Remembered at the ebbing light
Stave the chill from window sill
Grasp at imitations pitiful
Of sun
As the fire’s fuel is lost
And embers grow dim
You suddenly remember
A candles wick just then
Lighting it
And hoping still
For a shorter night
Than usual
Though Deep down
You’re filled with dread
That this time ‘round
It may never end

SPRING
Spring forth spring rain
And wash a way
For the sunshine
Sing wind on roofs tin
And rustle leaves
For your song
Freckle sun kissed cheeks
For a flushing
During spring dances
And long walks home warm
In spite of night's chill

INSPIRATION OF PRAISE
Curved form screams,
Behind lens-less frames,
Seeking a cease to desperations unspoken,
For fame recognition acknowledgment,
Fleeting words
As praise from a stranger
Stroking that starved ego
Into a fire of burning lust
For new creation
Channeling towards, something...
With skills forged in a fevered mind
To rekindle an inevitable beginning

UNREQUITED
Unrequited love,
Lost to another,
Unwelcome pain,
Affections torn asunder,
Sink emotions unkempt to darker sorrows,
Never before known,
Love turned to hate,
Turned to love again,
And lost with a whimper,
Accepted with a moan

Rattling chains of slaves
Cheering for false freedoms
Swaddling babes born

Screaming protestations
For causes clouded

Seeking to destroy
Foundations and father's ways
Ridiculed and replaced

DREAMLESS
I feel like there are no dreams for me,
To have to hold,
I am bathed in clouds,
Never to bask in gold, sunshine,
Winds whipping just beyond,
Swampen mist saturates my hair and skin,
Sinking down to a heart,
As I remember the days when they stuck and stayed,
Wishing for dreams that still slip away,

RAIN SHOWER
Rain washes the world’s pain away

Or mend heart ache

Alive and joyful
Passionate and whimsical

BLAH DAY
Like, a love poem rejected by the girl
That Type of ugh blah,
Ick gah oof groan day
Where all the happenstance
And accidents occur
In this one cow town
Where we hafta rent it
From our neighbor
I have 3 friends
That I actually still talk to
But, Don't!
Pity me,
For I am beyond it,
In lonely town USA,
Where the streets are empty
And the neighbors quiet,
And the sorrows endless
For the introspective mind
This World This Life
Merely fuel, fodder,
Tools, solder, for the craft
The art, the lens
Which I shine my soul thru
When I can

COUNTER CULTURE
Uncultured culture
Squirting ink
Onto the pages of my mind
Inept Imbeciles
Ignorant of what would
What could
What should be
Without them
To pander to our lowest most base Instincts
Formerly driven out of society
Now Risen Up To Debase
Original Ideas for America dismissed
For Progressive Change
To What, But proven
That which lays waste to the peasants
And props up tyrants
All too elected
In an intellectual wasteland
Where freedom of, turns from
The Founding Concepts
Small, Representative Govt.
Now Millionaires only, may seriously seek office
While once Ivory Towers are painted black
With Indoctrination unknown
To those that are told what not to read
What not to say
What not to think
Elevating all other cultures above their very
Heritage Lost
While Invaders are welcomed
And Visitors turned away
Diversity Of all but thought
Producing the next generation
Twisted in mind body and soul
New curses made profane
By hateful intonations
For that which, once was cherished
Now scorned by the vermin
Sprayed like poison in the face
Of father flag and country
While mothers look on
Weeping for our nation
The weary lonely riders
Seek solace in the voices
Of ancestors that still linger
To warn of the red coats turned blue
Devil’s working hardest in Churches
While Professors preach marx
And candidates promise
Candid captured lies
Independent Intellectuals’ still scorned
For their quest for truth not following
Paths all to trodden by
Those that never travel

TRANCE
Empty heart dances with
A cup filled with tears
Singing throat is choked for
All of these years
Lost to the void
Heart filled till broken
And the depths of me are gone
Not even a pretty face
Is left
Not even a silent song
Meanings lost to tokens
Unfeeling sneers
For a love lost to another
Inkless page
Earless words, Joyless smiles
Left to voiceless longing
None other so doomed
As Those
Left To life’s wanderings
Empty and Alone

CHURCH BELLS ARE GONE
Dancing Bells no longer sing
Speech is no longer free
And the only remaining song
Is sung without love
For, fathers mothers,
Sisters Brothers,
Flag or country
Women are wrapped
Like inhuman sacks
Sex slaves to domineering males
Unable to hinder their lust
Without a dust
Of walking curtains
Hands and heads severed
For whimsical cleaver
Cartoons lampooning Muhammad
Blood curdling shrieks from
Mujahedeen sheiks
For fatwa’s on a Blasphemous Teddy
Opinions made law
By bearded craws
Leaving plain folks
Without yolks
Lest they risk a stoning
How many more ways
Must I phrase?
That Political Islam
Is no faith
Worth having

INNOCENT HONOR
You destroy a world
With a word
Saying it never was
When it still is
In the dreams and minds of men
Screaming for that hard sought honor
And all that once if ever was
Is in the songs and films
The gestures, mannerisms
Looks and tears
Smiles and fears
An innocent age of war
Of bluer skies so pure
Moonlit dances
And swing set romances
Dames and dolls
Fella’s tall
Sing a love song
Of longing hearts
Of gazing eyes
Of kissing lips
In porch light
Lost to you
But not to me
That world's alive
I remember
I see

Mountain tops or jungles pristine,
Forget that lot and come with me,
Over hills from the valley,
California paths

Nor sandy shores
No sails at all
On a lake floating calm
You and me Just rod and reel
Peace and quiet

No portcullis skies
Look love breath live
Or cry for me
Alone I wander
Wondering who
I might see,
Can they perceive all that I am?
And can never be
Will they appreciate Curled wings?
Sable crown
Strawberry mantle

But for the sight
Long sought
Of eyes
Caught up
In the depths of sky
Mirrored

Why do I fly up,
In the upside down sky?
With tears floating a rye
Amongst all the white
Cotton candy clouds

While I just find
All the sorrow as if to die
Fly to fall
Sink to crawl
Among the stars
Pinpoints of rage
Hating every inch

That you’re not alone
In your mind
Among winsome souls
Seething in their sorrow

IGNORE
Hopeless hollow heart
Ripped torn stretched apart,
Dripping red tears
For words
Lost to ears
Overflowing shells
Filled with ocean sound
Sinking into ocean waves
As I look on,
Unacknowledged understanding,
Overflowing empathy
Ignored for flight
Or swim breathless both,
Singing upon deaf ears
Watching mouth and throat
With little understanding
As a Child’s gaze at fire leaping
Seeks to see with hands
And not feeling
Warmth
Till flesh singed

Without love, hearts beating as one
With passion borrowed

For her love
Of your love
Of her and you
A sacred union
Living together
Happily

CHIVALRY
All is black
And the gun is seen
Only by the sheen
From light source
Indeterminate
The hammer pulled back
The barrel gleams
A flash of light
All is white
But the bullet
The boy
And target
Still small speck
Races forth
With boy chasing
Grasping after
Fingers catch and cut
And bleed
And lose but reach again
Only
To bleed again
Finally he comes to front
Palms clasped tight
About that bit of metal
And prayers come to mind
Only for her safety
As it slipped thru his hands
And shoulder
He cries out for her lamely
She is still
As the projectile fills
The gap between the two
Till striking her breast
But piercing naught
And falling to the ground
Without another drop of blood
Quenched and still
The deadly pill
Rests to never rise
But the boy
Quivers with fright
For the sound
Of that hammer
Cocked again

PERIWINKLE POLITICCS
(The Declaration of Independence)
Words, just words?
But for the symbols ideas actions and reactions
That they create!
A rose by any other name
Would smell as sweet
But a poet's song
Might not be sung so well!
A redwood tree would reach just as high
But lack in magnificence to be called yellow
Would a warrior's saber rattle him?
If it be called a periwinkle instead?
It might... It might...
Words be the blast of a gun in sound spark and impact on the senses,
But the bullet's the meaning,
Intertwined with action
defined by motion.

Wonder whither we,
Who live breathe and see, eventually no more,

Or solid Shining light
More sure than eonic suns
Shone eternally after
Even if not
Life’s meaning remains
Begat In scripture
That married them

Imagined;
A collection
Of eclectic dreams, inane
Bats and blades
Breaking bulbs, cutting cords
By those who strut
Self righteous indignation
Change from freedom to the true freedom of chains
No matter the nostalgia for liberties,
Now lost to a life lived under jack booted heals
Re-garbed, dressed up!
Green shirts NOT BROWN
Pale bright glowing glass and wire
Replaced with toxic flames, wick, wax, and oil. Dim!~
(No glass now oh! Hinder-some similarities!)
For a world health
Unthreatened
And your own doomed
An all too familiar
Change for the sake of something new!

HEART WOVEN SLEEVES
Black beret
Tattooed arm
Soft heart
and womanly charm
Sing and hum a lullaby
Whilst bread bakes
Strum your old guitar
Trill and breathe a melody
Of olden songs with banners' glee
and heart woven sleeves unseen
By louts that want one thing
I much more
Saw cuff links
A strange thing
On tattooed arm
Found myself Inquiring

DEEP BEYOND
Angry effervescence
Eking out a death
Dark and dandy days
May soon end at last
Slink through silver shadows

To sunken shaft
Circle surrounded,
Yet all is black

EPITOME OF EMPERMANENCE
Normality of sorrow lessens not the longing
Yet thus does it drive the art

Yet still lasting vessels
For the purposes of man

UNDERSTOOD
The meaning of life is to live;
A quest for meaning
Understanding's pursuit never fully acquired
Even if a godless world be this (though not, for me)
One’s own perceptions, imperfect,
Paint life on to canvas once blank
A stroke a speck
On our mural's many portraits,
Interacting,
A quest for the sights of many
and a self shown to some,
Though many remain unseeing
They are not unseen,
Merciless fools deserving none themselves
Still more than any
Need our pity

JUSTICE
Livid eyes wide open
Rise from sunken being
To heights unimagined
Breathe with arms, legs, back
Poised for attack
See targets to strike
Gut groin and throat
Let none pass with any hope
For harm undeserved by their arm
Flame divine burns
Within
Consuming villain's reign
Never dims
Soak shadows with your light
Breathe into their eyes
Sight,
When you can't,
Take.
Burn, Lightest in the sun
Brightest in the dark
