fires lit
it was cold and she invited me in
I said one, she insisted on two
we know the rules
said the one that was cool
a few led to more
curbed to the floor
gazing at skies
thru soft satin eyes
the moon held us up
leading lost souls astray
fires, soon lit
where kisses had set
roaming the ruins
underneath unnamed statues
arts of destruction
captured within time
within moments
fleeting faster than the night

Cold and Lonely
I'm cold and I'm lonely
And I'm sinking fast
Ain't got a future
but I sure gotta past
And there ain't no body crying
or pining for me to come home
I'm to tired to run
To old to roam
I been sitting on this bar stool
Nigh on twenty years
Drowning my sorrows
In tequila and beers
It sucks being an old man
I hurt most every day
Pains never in the same place
But they won't go away
I may be an old man
But I ain't dead yet
And if I live to be a hundred
I won't ever forget ...

The Mist of Mine Eyes
The tingle of my spine runs alongside the river.
The autumn cardinal is quiet since leaving the nest of summer.
Overcast sky’s leave me in a fog of remembrance.
Where do these memories come from?
The bones in my fingers let me know it’s going to rain.
The mania and depression sweep over the gulches in my mind.
I find my creativity is dormant in the depths of my conscience.
In keeping the wolf from the door I put the teapot on to boil for evening tea.
While I taste my tea, cobwebs live in the corners of my mouth. ...

The First Pimp
All the weight of the world was on her shoulders
From traveling for water
To looking for wood
that was becoming scarcer and scarcer
Finally coming upon what she considered a honey hole
She wondered why no one had found this spot before
Plenty of wood and water for the collecting
But upon closer inspection she found a lone inhabitant
He claimed it all for self
There were men of her clan that could easily best him
And then claim all that he owned
But in the most seductive voice he invited her to sit

Nights.
Nights remembered.
Distant fragments.
Delivering heart shaped moments.
When you were standing here.
With arms ready to cure the disease.
Eyes of fascination.
Delicate, waiting to enlighten.
With just a flick of your wrist.
You hold every reminisce tightly.
Walking forward, you cut me seriously.
I will swallow hard as the guilt festers.
Looking down wishing to be elsewhere.
Still your image burns inward.
As I join the dots, I'm shaken alive.
For all you are infiltrates my every living cell.
A complete invasion...
Distant fragments.
Delivering heart shaped moments.
When you were standing here.
With arms ready to cure the disease.

You hold every reminisce tightly.
Walking forward, you cut me seriously.
I will swallow hard as the guilt festers.
Looking down wishing to be elsewhere.
Still your image burns inward.
As I join the dots, I'm shaken alive.
For all you are infiltrates my every living cell.
A complete invasion...

Travel Log
a river is flowing where forests cascade
down hills to where the water has made
a sparkling gash in all of the green -
sunlight on water is never seen
on the red planet which is my home
ancient Cydonia like ancient Rome
with ruins and marvels of what came before
the futility of an endless war -
hovering over a valley I see
the spectacular beauty of every tree
hearing birds singing, the rustle of leaves
senses exposed to air as mind weaves
memories from long before
with new sensations becoming much more ...

Felis
You were there across the room
Standing plainly without a sound
Looking for something too
That never would be found
And suddenly you shifted
So clearly, without remorse
Into a lovely feline
Dappled coat, fur coarse
Your eyes, they glimmered before the screen
My heart began to seize
And when you turned toward me
I saw something I'd never believe
Your pointed face turned gently
Deep within those crystalline orbs
Inside your amber scleras
Tumbled minerals galore

Words For The Desperate
A lot of folks seem desperate these days.
Sadness and depression weigh them down.
A loved one gone, a pet passed on.
Always something gnawing at them.
But that’s why there are words!
Words of encouragement, words of imagination!
Like, what does a caterpillar think while developing inside it’s cocoon?
Does it dream like we do? Do they dream of flying perhaps?
The whispers of the willow in summertime comfort my soul.
Or what about the warmth of the sun on the lush green grass?
I sit down to daydream under the willow as the branches...

A DOORWAY FOR SPIDER WOMAN
Spider woman tickles the earth
And tickles the roots
For she knows the worth
Of the sprouts and the shoots
She uses her fingers
To hold things together
And when it is needed
She conjures a tether
As strong as the ore
Of the mountains up high
Which she magically uses
To build things and fly
She uses her eyes
To inspect your endeavors
Eight of them miss
Nothing whatsoever
You can learn many secrets
From her you know
Just be careful regarding
Which...

And when it is needed

To build things and fly
She uses her eyes
To inspect your endeavors

I Feel Nothing
a lady I know
pretty little precious glow
beauty in the snow
she touches my mind
i leave my worries behind
how is she so kind?
she touches my heart
starts to beat really hard
a magical tart!
turns me to a bard
poetic, just to be smart
simply rambling hard
with words, I so touch
simple writing, that isn’t much
till I get a hunch
flowery bunches
your cute smile during lunches
melts avalanches!
shy obscenities
mother nature’s recipes
wild necessities
