moments spent togethered
despite mileaged in-betweens
carrier pigeon feathered
via technological means
through clearing channels of
understanding and patience;
distance being illusion
Illusion being distance;
temporary circumstance
Fears taking a backseat

[ SK ] Exit Strategy
Hope
---without such
the rope unspooled
while passing through
this eclectic mansion of
innumerable doors
stairwells, rooms
and floors
several
unexpectedly
explored
is no longer
an umbilical cord
tethering one to
expedition's Source
but is instead
an Ariadne's thread
gone insane
leading you further
away from the entrance

[ fAwL ] Rendered Speechless
If it's considered rude
not to express one's
gratitude and elation
I would like for my already
being rendered speechless
to be taken into further
consideration
The Fountain of Verse ...
is it endless?
Does it possess enough
waters to refresh the meager
dry mouthed pallete of
graphite blacks and gray
means I use to express
my naked self; exposed
the skills this artist lacks?

[ SK ] Misses Green
the actress staying in
Room Two Seventeen
once posed by Big Shot
Movie Director Stanley
to do a pointless nude scene
now lies placid in a pool
of her own putrification
Having a taste for little boys
on winter vacation
she finds them
quite delicious
redruM or ediciuS?
Still remains
to be seen

[ fAwL ] Salvation From Shipwrecked Dreams
ships approaching
early morning
compass needles in aligned
favorable winds in sails
Individual routes merge;
Captains of their own Fate
seeing beyond fog of circumstance
braving stormy weather
on verge of exploring
a horizon charted together
letters in floating bottles
only means of communication
both standing tall in crow's nests
on the lookout for a bigger boat
---that vessel of their salvation ...

[ fAwL ] Lucid
Decadent fir trees
ribbon wrapped with snow
Loose leaf sheets
sliding off roofs in reams
Doorways everywhere decked
with mischevious mistletoe
These are our lucid
White Christmas dreams
Fresh baked goodies
hot, straight from the oven
Eggnog and cocoa mugs
topped with whip creams
Under flannel blankets
for old some fashioned lovin'
These are our lucid
White Christmas dreams

[ fAwL ] Deep Blue Love
Every moment I spend
in suspension of Belief
surrounded by bouys
---reality checks signaling
I've gone too far out to sea
ignoring each warning sign
refusing to remain in shallows
exploring beyond this rigid
coral reef brain of mine
in the search for an oasis
where freedom to be ourselves
is nurtured, flourishes and grows
where You and I can be together
in this deep blue sea
Where You and I together ...

[ SK ] The Man Who Would Have Been King
not for lack of trying
My best writing?
Patience thinner;
severely lacking
horror story in and of itself---
hardly exciting to say the least
For decades, notions about
authoring books, preconceived
got in the way of everything
I wished to communicate;
a Saint Bernard of a Cerberus
beast rabidly guarding the gate;
hounding the entrance
to my own private Hades ...

[ fAwL ] For You
I hold this space
No one told me to
I volunteered right from the start
---kept you as close as possible
within bone fence surrounding
vast castle estate of my Heart
where I create as I wait
crafting a board of visions
---ribcage courtyard populated
with meticulously sculpted art---
carvings from ice blocked imagination
clipping hedges in need of clarification
Never
running with scissors in hand
I stand in line
until...

[ fAwL ] Twin Souls
Threads of existence
unraveled from fabric of
Source, overlapping
Consumed with passion's flame
leaving scant trails of ash
Coming full circle eight
closing the distance
Seperation
is the only option
when Twin Souls must Trust
Truth illuminated along journeys
through the same darkness
reuniting them in Love
tying the knot between
spiritual spouses
taking up residence
in Universe Houses
...

[ fAwL ] Todays With The One I Miss
A weekend of Solitude
is almost upon us---
anxiously, I await
to hear your voice
An early Christmas
present from the Universe
Spend the days alone?
What a poor choice!
If I could have my way ...
I woud spend every
single day with You
---can't imagine anything
else I would rather do
Bells don't ring
any clearer this seaon
when it comes to
gifts of Love pure and true
is almost upon us---
anxiously, I await
to hear your voice
An early Christmas
present from the Universe
Spend the days alone?
What a poor choice!
If I could have my way ...
I woud spend every
single day with You
---can't imagine anything

[ Spiritual ] Untenable
Sometimes
Reality's repetitious routine
takes its toll
a boulder you roll
uphill in untenable struggle;
lifestyle bought into
hook, line and sinker
hawked by a know-it-all
encyclopedia salesman
darkening doorstep
Seemingly
this world and its gravity
conspires against grain of desires
as if diametrically opposed to
will
Old college try efforts for naught
as you in your weakest power play
fall for the same old pitch ...
