Why is Art?
I sometimes think
that when you’re young
you think of art as
a provocation,
and when you’re old
you take it as
a comfort more
than anything,
and in between
it serves as both
depending on
each need and want.

Stillness of Waters
Stillness of the waters
through rustling memories
and the leaves symphony
beneath the frost
awakening blankets
of sleepy time moss
in nature's serenity
through rustling memories

awakening blankets

descent
I reach thru shadows
a moment of warmth
a flame underwater
collectin light I cannot drink
I have fallen
into the space
where echoes go
to die
this is where I end
a moment of warmth
a flame underwater
collectin light I cannot drink
I have fallen
into the space
where echoes go
to die
this is where I end

afraid
after twenty days in icu I'm weak
barely cohesive
I'm afraid I'll die if I sleep
that's the truth
I fought so hard from the edge why?

LOVE
Love without clothes
without bone has
a joy within:
soft smooth and full
like the mind
creative and
erogenous

You See Hustler's Latest Issue?
Dad has really gone nuts.
What makes you say that, Mindy Sue?
You see Hustler's latest issue?
Oh, yes. With Winona as its centerfold.
Now you know why I said that.

what's the difference
between politics and war?
with politics nobody
keeps a body count

Wild With Love
I kiss my Delilah,
Molten love pours from my soul,
Igniting her with sweet madness.
I melt her with flattery,
As fire does to snow,
In wakeful dreams I’m not alone.
Molten love pours from my soul,
Igniting her with sweet madness.
I melt her with flattery,
As fire does to snow,
In wakeful dreams I’m not alone.
