Destination Don't Care
Sky and asphalt blend together
watercolor shades of grey
in the rain
Wheels keep rolling
into a distance unseen
embracing the illusion
an infinity of road
Intentionally losing track of days
since leaving behind something
that passed as home
Several hours separated
from the bad idea passed out
in a hotel bed left at 3 a.m.
Nothing felt better than driving
away from another mistake
Everything she wanted to escape
was never farther than tire tracks
splashing mud on...

Not Yet Slumber
Why must this slumber end
I am not yet finished with the dream
When the day begins
Nothing is as it seems
For the light of day
Erases our recollection
Of the night’s Shakespearian play
The dark reflection
The divine is held in dream
The connection with our creator undeniable
Nothing is as it seems
The future now unforeseeable
Connect with me, my beloved Creator
Show me my truth
For you are my life curator
Just as in my youth
I am not yet finished with the dream
When the day begins
Nothing is as it seems
For the light of day
Erases our recollection
Of the night’s Shakespearian play
The dark reflection
The divine is held in dream
The connection with our creator undeniable
Nothing is as it seems
The future now unforeseeable
Connect with me, my beloved Creator
Show me my truth
For you are my life curator
Just as in my youth

Out of Darkness
Beset by darkness
The mushroom sprouts in shadows
Defiance in bloom
The mushroom sprouts in shadows
Defiance in bloom

Tanka #39 my folks were hoping...
My folks were hoping to marry me...
off to a man who would be
a stabilizing influence.
...I don't think you were exactly
what they had in mind...

The Season of Melancholy
Draped with such promise in yellowed & amber hues,
oh so silently, they drift & always to my dismay
On beloved summer's most glorious of landscapes & blooms,
they prey & take hostage; these dreary autumn days
On the cusp, waits the somber cold dressed in wintery blues,
as sunlight seeps into crevices of Earth's crumbling decay
'Til spring sprouts its vengeance & true promise of renewal,
on Earth's resilient floor, I'll lay in wake....
oh so silently, they drift & always to my dismay
On beloved summer's most glorious of landscapes & blooms,
they prey & take hostage; these dreary autumn days
On the cusp, waits the somber cold dressed in wintery blues,
as sunlight seeps into crevices of Earth's crumbling decay
'Til spring sprouts its vengeance & true promise of renewal,
on Earth's resilient floor, I'll lay in wake....

Coming down
I can always tell you’re near.
The smell gives you away.
You rustle behind the clouds,
speaking loudly, Sending a warning.
Cool air begins to blow around.
The trees rock and sway.
I listen for the crack of lighting and boom of thunder.
I welcome you with open arms.
Pushing the curtains aside to open my window,
Waiting to see you fall from the sky.
It’s quiet for a moment, than like a switch you turn on. A blanket soaking the earth with your beauty.
The rhythmic sound sings to my heart.
Every drop has a purpose, ...
The smell gives you away.
You rustle behind the clouds,
speaking loudly, Sending a warning.
Cool air begins to blow around.
The trees rock and sway.
I listen for the crack of lighting and boom of thunder.
I welcome you with open arms.
Pushing the curtains aside to open my window,
Waiting to see you fall from the sky.
It’s quiet for a moment, than like a switch you turn on. A blanket soaking the earth with your beauty.
The rhythmic sound sings to my heart.
Every drop has a purpose, ...

Cloud Bound
cornflower edges fill my vision,
hint of blue water in the interim;
I’m cloud bound to the hoping
in a cloudless sky
sunshine hiding it’s face from me
here, but not really here;
chased away by icy winds,
taking warmth with it
hint of blue water in the interim;
I’m cloud bound to the hoping
in a cloudless sky
sunshine hiding it’s face from me
here, but not really here;
chased away by icy winds,
taking warmth with it

Shaheed
Rukte nhi kadam aandhi toofan se,
Kapti hai ye zameen tapo ki taan se,,
Hum sine me liye,
hai asha ke diye,,
Ab bujh na paye lo,
chahe Jaye pran se,,
Gunja do dhara jaise singh-garzana,
Krne do hme se mrityu ko vanchana,,
Banke satay ki misaal,
Kr denge bhumi lal,,
Chahe girte ho to girne do....................
sharir shaheed ke naam pe,,
Kapti hai ye zameen tapo ki taan se,,
Hum sine me liye,
hai asha ke diye,,
Ab bujh na paye lo,
chahe Jaye pran se,,
Gunja do dhara jaise singh-garzana,
Krne do hme se mrityu ko vanchana,,
Banke satay ki misaal,
Kr denge bhumi lal,,
Chahe girte ho to girne do....................
sharir shaheed ke naam pe,,

a primer on how to mislead the stars
take 1 part desiccated heart petals,
stained with blood of human yearning
mix with 2 parts fossilized true love
shake for half as long as all the times
you've wept Things into words
then swallow
stained with blood of human yearning
mix with 2 parts fossilized true love
shake for half as long as all the times
you've wept Things into words
then swallow

2020 is Blind (my new book title)
Can’t see the forest
for the masks
No - metaphor!
...get your mind
out of the gutted
All the fake smiles
got new songs
All the songs
got new lies
All the songs
you can’t sing
...live at
anywhere
for the masks
No - metaphor!
...get your mind
out of the gutted
All the fake smiles
got new songs
All the songs
got new lies
All the songs
you can’t sing
...live at
anywhere

Once before
If you take my heart please dont break it
I've only just had it fixed
It can be painful when you realise
Cupids arrow missed
And thinking about things that have passed
All left in the past
I used to feel a one horse race and ide still manage to finsh last
So heres my heart dont break it
I broke it once before
But now I'm moving forward
Now I've shut the door
I've only just had it fixed
It can be painful when you realise
Cupids arrow missed
And thinking about things that have passed
All left in the past
I used to feel a one horse race and ide still manage to finsh last
So heres my heart dont break it
I broke it once before
But now I'm moving forward
Now I've shut the door

True, Through and Through
I battle cry to the sun
the cops just killed someone
my anger building up
mask cover the ones who care
too many who don't
not sheep, but not caring human beings ether
and then my thoughts go to
how this country is better than this
my country 'tis of thee
flaws and all
seems we been braught to our knees
I can't help but believe
we will fight till things are right
this is what drives us
not the stupid and racist
they are the deface
hiding behind liberties grace
the America I know
it's a heart...
