Poetry

Hard Rain
Fall storm, heavy rain fallsWind the predatorBlows trees over like a wolfRemoving the weak
Even the strong helplessAgainst weight, forms, and directionOf the master of weatherWater
Life and deathBoth from the same glass

Potters Field 2020
On the edge of townAt the end of pine lake roadIs a new potters fieldCalled covidThe souls cry outFrom rows of mass gravesBuried togetherYet all aloneAt midnight and full moonsThey walk around in confusionTheir emptiness blinds themFrom the torch of the gateNever having a chanceFor the hold of last goodbyesTears miles apartLike orphansAll the familiesHoping for better answersWaiting for the lightAt the end of the tunnelWhile death keeps countingUnto the new year

Ode To Amanda
She emerged winged-foot from the skyLike an angel in Apollo’s shadowFathers from the heavens fingersAnnounce with thunderbolts and lightningMessages drift above to form shapesIn different layers of colored clouds
Lands on a mountain cap with harpNotes cut like ribbons to revealDistance between the long still islandsIn the stoke of beating heart and rhythmHeld my hand like feathers fallingFell through her like warmth reclaimed
Up ahead rotating pastures playScenes of tall castles golden shineStrong winds unfold the darkness awayWhere loneliness once walked freelyTransforms into along with her eyesOnly sunshine regardless of the hour

2:20 A.M.
There is a thiefIn my houseSilent and immortalIt takes no moneyOr possessionsIt only robs meOf my sleep

Sheep never saidSlaughter the buffaloSnakes in the grassNever hinted to tigerKill elephant for ivory Sharp claw bear roarsBees never buzzCut down redwood treesLightning never askForrest to be cutWithout fire or rebirth Fox never toldBeaver by shoreTo build larger damWind and waterNever encouraged earthquakeTo move mountain in one night Fish in lakes and oceansNo dying whales tell themTo cut off shark finsAmazon riverDidn’t whisper to grasshopperCut down the rain forest Watching for eonsAnimalsUnimpressed with manExcept the wise teacherSees from eagle eyesListens to wilderness speak Original teachers vanishKilledOr sent to reservationAll this timeThe savageIn the mirror

Transformer
The window twisted openIn a spiral motionStories on the streetDrive by like speeding chaptersA hammer can hit youWhen you take the time to seeHappiness can take control so easyWhen your mind is unconcernedStill plugged in but not onIs anything really importantExcept the things you can’t see or touchOr loveStill with no real definition

Light Effect
The sun erupted Light rose like erosionTo wash away The night’s collection

Space & Time
One cold wind chill nightSitting in a dark roomFully wide awakeEyes intenseIn a dreamlike stateFeeling a chill leak throughThe cracks of the buildingLooking out the picture windowAnd the street lights outsideI gaze upAnd see the full moonSpinning down towards meFilling the roomI leave and take its placeWay up in the skyShe looks up and says"Your closer now"I go foreverVisiting another galaxyNever findingA star like her

A Rite Of Wrong
Mistakes can make you feelLingering and secludedThe present can breathe to lifeConceptions of the pastStanding on the edge of the soul

Prescription #L
Heard in a songLove is a drugIf that is trueThen hate must beA fatal disease Please I wantYou to liveTake your pills

A Ship In Flight                                The arrowGoes out spinningFast and farLanding on a orbitNear spheres and starsThat can seeAnd shineLike curves in spaceIn her rotationI feel the gravity

Lost On A Line
Oh, please take meAnd lead me to that placeThat her and I discoveredIn the darknessWe found the borderThe line between man and womenIs blurredAnd gets lost in the momentWe swam on the edge So far out Discovering unforgettable

Revelations
Nightmares dripped like rainDreams swim deep in the clouds
Lightning played like fingersStroking land and structures
Thunder shouted like attentionScreamed with toothless jaws
From the dark unfolding skyUnknown forms journey downward
With limbs bracing for a landingBreathing pictures within pictures
Eyes awaken by the long pushOf the vibrant black sun sky

I See Your Vein  (Part One)
I see your vein marked and stabbedA sword of pain you are trappedIn the castle, I see the nightA darken shadow a stream of lightI see your vein and feel the blueThe lion statues they seem to moveOut by the gate near the archI see your silhouette in the marshYou are alone with the moonI see the holes within a roomI see the vein the one that bleedsBreak the drawbridge out by the treesThe stone carvings they seem to talkI see the armies when you walkI see your vein and feel the blue

Far Away Sounds
From the heavensTeardrops fallOne at a timeMany straight linesSingle fileAcross piano keysLight year’s melodyEchoingFrom the past Before there was time

Shoulders Of An Angel
From a white light, that singsOut walks an angelNow there are wingsOn the way I feel
Candles open and fillOn windows burningCups of memories spillSomehow returning

Undercover
Slipcover on universeRemoved and revealedFor fraction of a secondLong enough to seeStars and dreamsEmbrace like lovers

Story Of the Stars
Sat on the roof of the old houseThe shingles faded with storiesThe distant calling smoked hillsBorder the earth and the starsCalling like an original frameThe rustic whispers cry like wingsVoices from history and presentSoar across the deep night sky

Early Warning
From the sky, nightmares drip like hailDreams fall softly as feather snowBright lightning wooden ships set sailLong winding winds direct the show
Thunder calls out across the wayWhile clouds still gather, pile on thickGrow ears to what the heavens saySwirling motions move slow and quick
Predictions unfold in the darkClimax pumps like blue beating heartSongs pour downward sing with a bark.Pictures below all ripped apart.
Statue of truth we cannot makeRise from the deep sleep still awake

Solitary Clouds
Yesterday lots of cloudsToday clear skiesFew hours laterOne cloud appearsPerhaps lonelinessIs all aboutBeing a day or two behindTwo hours laterAnother single cloud appears

Wind Dance Green
Trees danceWith each otherSome dance closeSome far awayOthers singWhile others swayThen settle softlyTill the wind Kisses them again

The Clock
In my silence, will time heal allFor constantly I hear her callAll my life never felt so lowThe clock in my heart runs so slow
The pain I have time cannot feelCut up with words as sharp as steelThe wounds are hidden deep belowThe clock in my heart runs so slow
Now the days seem to drag on byWhen I was with her time would flyThe ache ticks on I watch it growThe clock in my heart runs so slow
