Secure
Golden Sol has hidden
From an angry purple-orange morn
Revealing feelings now unbidden
A love has died, but who will mourn?
He has not called
She has not spoken
Where they were, once, both enthralled
Now both of them heartbroken
Over oaths they have dissolved
Anger, like a moss, grows thick
in the damp and shade
A hearty cure for those lovesick
At least, that’s what’s displayed
They keep their wounds out of the light
Sunlight will not cure
A better treatment, dry and dark
Cold, but quite secure

Blue Lotus
Hide away, my psyche
Don’t risk getting feisty
The World won’t understand
Your voice, most likely banned
Wrap it in some verse
Ambiguous or terse
Authority won’t notice
Not unlike Blue Lotus
If you dare to strike a nerve
The nation-state will self-preserve
Except for those who they dismiss
Already on the crazy list
Poetry, Deep Underground
Is, in a word: Profound
The powers who rule over us
Already think that we are nuts!

Wait, I'm thinking
[rut]
If regrets were bricks
I could've housed the homeless
of any given nation
and if dreams were grain
I could feed the foodless
and still have enough
to do it all again
[Journey]
and you, the start gun
catalyst of all this great haul
for the long run
[do you even know what you've done]
you. are oxygen
most natural inspiration
the fertile earth
where the grain is sewn

My Blues
Someone is thinking
Of you
Through the restless
Night
Wishing and dreaming
Closer to your heart
Here and near
But
You’re
Still
So
Far
I’m still here sitting
Stirring
Remembering
The silhouettes dance
Wishing and dreaming
Of this
Unrequited
Romance
Amid all the moods
Colors and hues
The reds
The purples
My blues
I lie here and want
That which
I cannot
Have
But I must entrust
This perfect
Lust

Open Wound
My Face Is Bleeding
not blood
But the tears I shed
From the wounds of my eyes
Pouring Out My Pain

Inside Me
How do you see
What's inside me
How do you speak
Words I only think
I want you inside me
You're already there

Under Ground
I passed two women kissing
Young lovers caught in passion
A man jostled against my side
In a hurry to go anywhere
that held a more beautiful sight
than could be seen here
I think not
But I couldn't stay and gaze
I also had to go, catch my train
When I came to the platform
I passed a woman pissing
Old, drunk and stinking
Her back against the wall
Many people passed
It seemed they didn't care
And neither did I really
I took a ride on the Underground
When I stepped off the train
Going to my destination
I passed an old man crying
He held a violin and played softly
Tears rolled and beauty was born
But I couldn't stay and gaze
I had to go and catch a cab
First I placed a bill in his case
I stopped to buy a paper
And caught the sent of desire
It held me transfixed in time
I turned to search for its owner
A pretty smile and hypnotic eyes
I saw a blush flood across her face
Frozen in each other's gaze
I had no where to go now

Better Days
( a Quatern )
In Dresden cups that have seen better days,
A fragile memory on breeze of sighs.
That speaks serenely just behind the shades,
The touch of your embrace that never dies.
As I extend an offer for some tea
In Dresden cups that have seen better days,
Your wistful nod, the history of me
Becomes a part of you as it replays.
There is no reason, what we need to say,
We see it all in silence like a dream.
In Dresden cups that have seen better days,
I skip the sugar, then stir in the cream.
To join you in a lover’s reverie,
I sit, you watch me from a distant haze.
We slowly bow our heads to sip some tea
In Dresden cups that have seen better days.

Almost God
Tonight, I was awakened
In the parlor where I sit
On top of the baby grand,
As the chain at my neck yanked
& I blinked, dazed from the light
That brightened the wallpaper.
I looked around, bewildered
And saw the shadows I cast
Dance ‘cross the willow pattern.
And here they were, two lovers,
Poets, I’d seen before, meet
Like baby’s breath in crystal.
The two sat close, side by side
At the piano bench, bowed,
So still like a whisper, I —
And she graced the keys, singing
To him, of love & heart’s flight
In the dear light from my shade.
How honored, to be privy.
As she turned to him, he smiled
To tell her she inspires.
They noticed the light flicker.
It was me, it was my heart;
What I felt, was almost God.

CANYONS
May love rush in
As a flash flood
To fill the dry and wanting
Canyons of your desolation

CHICKEN LOVE
Love is a game of chicken
Where nobody loses-
You just keep driving
Further and further
Into each other

You just keep driving
Further and further
Into each other

INCREMENTAL SACRAMENT
You made space for me
To lie down and be adored,
And someday I will.
