Lunar Ride

Swallowed by a Monday moon

Slide across a long tongue

Of weightlessness and dust

While hanging in the night sky

Earth shines like a new planet

Instead of thought and home

 

 

Caught In Dimension

 

Travel to other dimension only to find.

Strange forms engaged beneath an unfamiliar tree.

All thoughts marked out of date, inside expanding mind.

While all around spiral-like shapes and spheres swim free.

 

Package will not wrap bow between inside or out.

With light and darkness, taking turns at trading places.

Sounds bond from altered corners as they speak and shout.

Move in all directions with fluctuating faces.

 

Buildings stir and transform, depending on the day.

Colors shift opposite and turn different shades.

Mountains dance across the land, engaging in play.

As sky turns up volume or down until it fades.

 

Labyrinth paths at uncommon levels and heights.

Paintbrush of the unusual count away the nights.

 

 

Mars Night Café

(Based On The Vincent Van Gogh painting “Night Café”)

 

After hard day of work in mines

Visit Faraway Night Café

Located on red planet mars

At the base of Olympus Mons

 

Patron’s backs bent permanently

From staring down into their drinks

Stories sand grains in hourglass

Frozen like hands of clock on wall

 

Then look away around the room

The mind wonders from place to place

Lamp radiates like tiny sun

Like copy of painting on display

 

Round number ball on pool table

Imagine is earth and moving

Small trays of spirits and substance

Mix in with shots of loneliness

 

Even millions of miles from home

Madness rides a traveling ghost

Internal like the universe

The sadness will last forever

 

 

Spirit Clouds Reply

 

Sheep never said

Slaughter the buffalo

Snakes in the grass

Never hinted to tiger

Kill elephant for ivory

 

Sharp claw bear roars

Bees never buzz

Cut down redwood trees

Lightning never ask

Forrest to be cut

Without fire or rebirth

 

Fox never told

Beaver by shore

To build larger dam

Wind and water

Never encouraged earthquake

To move mountain in one night

 

Fish in lakes and oceans

No dying whales tell them

To cut off shark fins

Amazon river

Didn’t whisper to grasshopper

Cut down the rain forest

 

Watching for eons

Animals

Unimpressed with man

Except the wise teacher

Sees from eagle eyes

Listens to wilderness speak

 

Original teachers vanish

Killed

Or sent to reservation

All this time

The savage

In the mirror

 

 

Early Warning

 

From the sky, nightmares drip like hail

Dreams fall softly as feather snow

Bright lightning wooden ships set sail

Long winding winds direct the show

 

Thunder calls out across the way

While clouds still gather, pile on thick

Grow ears to what the heavens say

Swirling motions move slow and quick

 

Predictions unfold in the dark

Climax pumps like blue beating heart

Songs pour downward sing with a bark.

Pictures below all ripped apart.

 

Statue of truth we cannot make

Rise from the deep sleep still awake

 

 

Transformer

 

The window twisted open

In a spiral motion

Stories on the street

Drive by like speeding chapters

A hammer can hit you

When you take the time to see

Happiness can take control so easy

When your mind is unconcerned

Still plugged in but not on

Is anything really important

Except the things you can’t see or touch

Or love

Still with no real definition

 

 

Story Of the Stars

 

Sat on the roof of the old house

The shingles faded with stories

The distant calling smoked hills

Border the earth and the stars

Calling like an original frame

The rustic whispers cry like wings

Voices from history and present

Soar across the deep night sky

Light Effect

 

The sun erupted

Light rose like erosion

To wash away

The night’s collection

 

 

Spiral Arms Sky

 

Border of spiral galaxy

Mountain asteroid city shines

Tall ice castle’s close together

Surface cover of cold light snow

A slight lean towards heavy side

Slow spin rotates towns and shadows

From balcony long arms reach out

From hundred million miles away

 

 

Underwater Sky

 

The sea of the universe rotates

Waves of ocean with water-drop stars

Wishing you were close enough

To look into below the surface

Share with all the spirit-voices

Floating windows into the deep

 

 

Ode To Amanda

 

She emerged winged-foot from the sky

Like an angel in Apollo’s shadow

Fathers from the heavens fingers

Announce with thunderbolts and lightning

Messages drift above to form shapes

In different layers of colored clouds

 

Lands on a mountain cap with harp

Notes cut like ribbons to reveal

Distance between the long still islands

In the stoke of beating heart and rhythm

Held my hand like feathers falling

Fell through her like warmth reclaimed

 

Up ahead rotating pastures play

Scenes of tall castles golden shine

Strong winds unfold the darkness away

Where loneliness once walked freely

Transforms into along with her eyes

Only sunshine regardless of the hour

 

 

Space & Time

 

One cold wind chill night

Sitting in a dark room

Fully wide awake

Eyes intense

In a dreamlike state

Feeling a chill leak through

The cracks of the building

Looking out the picture window

And the street lights outside

I gaze up

And see the full moon

Spinning down towards me

Filling the room

I leave and take its place

Way up in the sky

She looks up and says

"Your closer now"

I go forever

Visiting another galaxy

Never finding

A star like her

 

 

A Rite Of Wrong

 

Mistakes can make you feel

Lingering and secluded

The present can breathe to life

Conceptions of the past

Standing on the edge of the soul

 

 

2:20 A.M.

 

There is a thief

In my house

Silent and immortal

It takes no money

Or possessions

It only robs me

Of my sleep

 

 

Prescription #L

 

Heard in a song

Love is a drug

If that is true

Then hate must be

A fatal disease

Please I want

You to live

Take your pills

 

 

The Last Ride

 

Let us ride the universe forever

Long before arriving at heavens gate

Let the lords of good and evil play with fate

While the grand gatekeeper holds the lever

 

Worldly ties will completely sever

With keys of time, no voids to hesitate

Journey across space a believer

Long before arriving at heavens gate

 

When the final day comes to deliver

Pointed upon the calendars last date.

Let the mighty lords know we will be late

The last breathe a message to receiver

Let us ride the universe forever.

 

 

A Ship In Flight

                                

The arrow

Goes out spinning

Fast and far

Landing on a orbit

Near spheres and stars

That can see

And shine

Like curves in space

In her rotation

I feel the gravity

 

 

Lost On A Line

 

Oh, please take me

And lead me to that place

That her and I discovered

In the darkness

We found the border

The line between man and women

Is blurred

And gets lost in the moment

We swam on the edge

So far out

Discovering unforgettable

 

 

Land of a Million Ghosts

 

Long before Salem witches

Ghost roamed the Great Plains

Natives respect dark shadows

No battles at stroke of night

 

Fields of a thousand voices

Hide behind rows of darkness

Stories ride fertile valleys

Whisper across dusty trials

 

In sparse conditions

Spirits occupy all corners

Footprints call like thunderstorms

Voices from void scream on the range

 

Each blade of corn and grass

Transforms in moonlit sky

Those who find a signal

Silent and scared to death

 

Every year more arrive

From crowed graves and cities

Lost roaming herds grown larger

In great Midwest gathering

 

 

Revelations

 

Nightmares dripped like rain

Dreams swim deep in the clouds

 

Lightning played like fingers

Stroking land and structures

 

Thunder shouted like attention

Screamed with toothless jaws

 

From the dark unfolding sky

Unknown forms journey downward

 

With limbs bracing for a landing

Breathing pictures within pictures

 

Eyes awaken by the long push

Of the vibrant black sun sky

 

 

I See Your Vein  (Part One)

 

I see your vein marked and stabbed

A sword of pain you are trapped

In the castle, I see the night

A darken shadow a stream of light

I see your vein and feel the blue

The lion statues they seem to move

Out by the gate near the arch

I see your silhouette in the marsh

You are alone with the moon

I see the holes within a room

I see the vein the one that bleeds

Break the drawbridge out by the trees

The stone carvings they seem to talk

I see the armies when you walk

I see your vein and feel the blue

Far Away Sounds

 

From the heavens

Teardrops fall

One at a time

Many straight lines

Single file

Across piano keys

Light year’s melody

Echoing

From the past

Before there was time

 

 

Shoulders Of An Angel

 

From a white light, that sings

Out walks an angel

Now there are wings

On the way I feel

 

Candles open and fill

On windows burning

Cups of memories spill

Somehow returning

 

 

Metal Universe

 

Space lightning burst

Shoots from a star

With emerging wings

Feathers blue at tips

 

Path strikes comet

Wakes microbes and rocks

Million years later

Lands on planet

 

Awakes from cradle

Life on minerals form

Time churns next phase

Small to now

 

Evolution robots roam

Of all shapes and sizes

Determined by surroundings

And cell and metal DNA

 

Breath air in each lung

Or choice of four gases

Open gills to maximum

Venture deep or swallow

 

Ten billion years

Before earth appears

Watching us after

And all dark corners

 

Calculating with more

Than ones and zeros

With formulas and math

Physicist dream of

 

Old galaxy machine

Waits

With decisions made

Long ago

Sometimes laughs

With colored lights

Mountain With No View

 

Revenge is easy

Forgiveness a mountain

Wind and erosion whisper

Human race slow

 

 

Undercover

 

Slipcover on universe

Removed and revealed

For fraction of a second

Long enough to see

Stars and dreams

Embrace like lovers
