Earth day
Into a black hole
Surrounded by a void
An Atom fell
drawn in by the
gravity of the
dense mass
When the Atom
reached the event horizon
and passed into
the voidless center
something became
The ethereal ocean
providing fluid nourishment
Consciousness providing nutrient
And the Atom itself providing
the light needed
to draw forth its roots
And a mighty tree grew
in a spherical shape
that expanded into
the smallest microcosms
And on this tree
grew a fruit
among many fruits
But...

faster than the speed of light
faster than the speed of light
between the stars and out of sight
from here to there and in between
are we awake or in a dream?
it seems we left so long ago
or so we think but do not know
we came, we saw, we left again
all is changing yet the same
journey through a plasma haze
on and on for days and days
between the stars and out of sight
faster than the speed of light
the Solar System disappears
Centaurus growing as it nears
Proxima, Alpha, Beta too
passing by and in our view
Sirius brightens, it's our goal ...
between the stars and out of sight

Felix
Old Felix came and went
His business combs and buttons
Ones for nits, others brass and cotton
To be squashed by wooden roll.
How big his feet in sagging shoes
how bowed his coat, herring bone and worn
a heavy coat, a winter coat
In blazing June .
A poor man, a good man,
with eyes so blue and frank
He was a tramp.
He pushed a childless pram, without a hood,
left it in the street,
card-board case opened at the door
with things to sell...

Miss understood
Miss understood
I once wrote
epicurial poetry
then sliced them afresh
now I hate reading more than seven lines
but you I admire
as you say so much
in so little
like a touch on an elbow
I gave a class gal
years ago
a German
till today I recall her say
....Misssssss seeeee...
then she wiped off her lips
no smile
no frown
but silence came over her
she knew I did not do it
on purpose
I learned then and there
I am and will always be miss -understood
As I always am
now and till today...

[I look to the east as the morning sun brightens]
I look to the east as the morning sun brightens
myeyes start make-out blurry shadow on the horizon
it looked larger than a bison
it grew even bigger as it inched closer
suddenly the shadow started to lighten
still unsure, I grew frightened
so I sprinted to the other end of the island
then I hear sirens, I now realize wear I am
bam, back in my room, in bed awake
it was just a dream
myeyes start make-out blurry shadow on the horizon
it looked larger than a bison
it grew even bigger as it inched closer
suddenly the shadow started to lighten
still unsure, I grew frightened
so I sprinted to the other end of the island
then I hear sirens, I now realize wear I am
bam, back in my room, in bed awake
it was just a dream

ZEN ARCHER (7-23-96; along the banks of the Colorado River, Austin, Texas)
i string
my bow
set my arrow
draw
my line
then
let it go
ideas take flight
flow and strike
like zen
ray of sunlight
penetrating
passing cloud
i dream
a dream
of waters
summer green
waters
green river passing
passing flowing
under leaning
weeping willow boughs
leaning reaching out
dipping
long green
tendrils down
into passing rivers
green waters
tranquil flowing
flowing calm
beneath blue sky
as in
my minds
imaginations slide...

A Greeting From Another World [VI]
To the shadows of branches that were erasing all light
and sheltering creatures that were hidden in night
Lurkers like me who can do nothing but hide
In perpetual solitude my time I must bide
Demonic imps were dancing by the treeline
With horrid faces of the queerest design
Intriguing my interest to enter the wood
Pulling me closer to the hill where they stood
Their song and dance had now faded to chant
As I hid by a bush becoming more reluctant
Suddenly they stopped and crept to a glare
Reveal yourself at once we know you hide there! ...
and sheltering creatures that were hidden in night

Pulling me closer to the hill where they stood
Their song and dance had now faded to chant
As I hid by a bush becoming more reluctant
Suddenly they stopped and crept to a glare

The children of, not long enough.
Ponyhenge
As I sit and gaze into the misty dusk of twilight
upon this oddity, I close my eyes and imagine..............
Is this their calling, the reason here
these broken ponies of yesteryear?
Do they await, for a loving clutch
from the children of, not long enough
I have these thoughts, that I hold dear
which pour forth droplets of my tears.
And as they cascade, from my eyes
within my mindscape, I can spy.
Their frolic romps, and play escape
here in this field, within these gates. ...

Memoirs of A Secret Life Part 4
Jenny shivered in the chill of the late autumn wind as she made her way across the courtyard to sit in her usual spot under the sycamore tree and indulge in the 18th century poetry she fancied.
It was the one place she could relax, escape from the anxieties that haunted her life, away from the unraveling of her husbands patience.
There she could just be, pretend nothing else existed outside of the bindings of her books.
Her hope for a few moments of escape were broken by the realization that she would not be alone today. A strange man in black stood propped against the sycamore...

Eden
Come seek me in the Garden of Eden
Where the crystal-clear water will cleanse you of your sin
Meditate and allow my essence in
Let go of the shadow of a person you have once been.
Come relish in well-deserved homage
Take a bite out of the fruit of knowledge
Kneel and bathe in the divine oil of olive
Rise up from the ashes of those who have fallen.
Close your eyes and surrender yourself to infinity
Be at awe and fearful in the presence of divinity
You and I and the child I carry make up the trinity
Up in this plane there are countless...

Succumbing to Storms
In the early bright sitting idiosyncratic
in a daze amongst wooded serenity,
chartreuse this forest canopy bedded above
crystal cerulean waves rushing softly.
Not my usual set of distorted instances, I'm isolated,
in peace rather than split amongst hesitant ides.
I do love the solidarity of this sprawling estate,
talking sofas deem quite good for my insurgencies.
This land storied in rich character, tragic misfortunes,
a place once treasured for its sacred bounty.
Hip~shot on wagon wheels...

LowBoy
Baptized by the water, not in a body bag
On a marble road across the river
Is where they pierced the cities void
I won’t forget what I saw that morning
The Mayor sitting V.I.P
A father and a confidant
No ripple of deception found
It’s the first snow of the season
And the problem won’t go away
I saw him in a good place
And it breaks my heart its cold tonight
