Chimes
Beneath a veil of ivory; in a capella was a treasury of beating chimes - the sweet refrains of her marrow. From the alcove a her soul; breathed a concession of consolatory affections. Ardent was her tender, sentimental heart. Within her spirits vessel; beckoned by either jubulience or melancholy - in hues of red or blue; it bled

finite ll
where do I go?
i've come to the end
verses that once bridged the void
no longer take me to the flowery fields
& sunlit forests of meditation
my words now a winding stairway deep inside
where poetry is an opera of screams
that echos off the steel wall of my mental trap
I seek visions to free me
& one by one they die within
stillborn thoughts
I wonder do these ideas get reincarnated
in the minds of others
I push myself to press on ...

You write like snowdrops
I cry, my heart weeps in awe
lay words like petals
I cry, my heart weeps in awe

Inner drama
This fleshy vehicle is floating furiously..
Drifting slow through the inner infinities.
"The essential inner drama"
My soul syncs up with that eternal phenomenon..
Pumped up, primordial passions..
Woke up in a universal fashion.
Laws of reality evaporate,
to elusive to elaborate clearly..
As the galactic Glory nears me.
Some call it God
Some create their own deity..
Beyond labels and ideas
There's only the mystery..
Here we stand on this land
Pretending to understand..
Roaming in a strange realm ...
Drifting slow through the inner infinities.

Covet Springs
You tried to come to me
quietly tip-toeing across
the sanded rice paper
Tried to touch me with a
stealth so that I might feel
yet not know the intent or
reasons for return.
Coveting eternal wet from
Springs of hope
and hopelessness
You and me lost our ability
to overcome our verbal
confusion.
Oft I know I am in want;
we’re a desperation
full of covet eternal
springing forth tears of
perhaps, sad,
more so maybe it is
self-directed anger
for our cowardice.
Goddess...

A Little Levity and more
Painting by numbers always started with one, when I got to you I knew I was done
....screech.....stop right there...... remember I told you stop the cheesy rhyme...no you didn't...well I meant to
Humour has a way about things
lifting weights off our troubles
even if only for a moment in time
a relief, a comfort to alleviate pain
it borders on lunacy, I'm clearly insane
Man helping man in an hour of need
throwing fear to the wayside as well as his greed
Don't ever give up hope
as she sits on a shelf way up high ...

Hawk Hovering
Hawk hovering
scanning
Their eyes everywhere
Yet attacks on easy prey
fading as days become
short & sinister dark
Creatures of knowledge
know to hold the higher
ground
Digging in deep
waiting out it's cold front
& watchful gaze to sweep past

natural wine
some wines give off unique aromas
the taste of sediment, airs, plants in the stoma.
deeply seeded grape veins breaking,
cracking through tough terrains;
making flavors more exotic,
taking savoring to new levels,
blood soothed in erotic revel.
clearly I'm no expert, but I'll indulge,
take a sip from these ancient little trees
and watch as they sway free in winds.

Free Form, or Fall
Bringing liberty to form
A daunting prospect
Devoid of gimmicks
Rhythm rigor mortis
He tries to slacken
Just let go
Free from his compulsions
The terms plummet
From an inelastic mind
Entering untried terrain
He does make an effort
Not to despair
Not to succumb
With a relapse
To his elderly methods
But it may well be
All for nil
Until his words learn to fly.

Her Lost Grace.
I ran my fingers through her hair
As she lay sleeping, soft and fair
The moonlight drew a milky haze
Upon this portrait of men's gaze
The hands of time gathered deep
But I could only let her sleep
For sleep is but her only peace
Little moments when memories cease
A quiet breeze whispered low
Across the languid, dark willow
And feathered back her chestnut hair
Exposing all the sorrow there
For all the beauty that she bare
She paid a price beyond repair
And sure as diamonds sparkle clear ...
As she lay sleeping, soft and fair
The moonlight drew a milky haze
Upon this portrait of men's gaze
The hands of time gathered deep
But I could only let her sleep
For sleep is but her only peace
Little moments when memories cease
A quiet breeze whispered low
Across the languid, dark willow
And feathered back her chestnut hair
Exposing all the sorrow there
For all the beauty that she bare
She paid a price beyond repair
And sure as diamonds sparkle clear ...
