Arpeggio
Shapes that become the lyre
carry wafted whisperings
along the wind afloat
Where dost thou sing deepest
loud, where only You can hear
deep within the caverns
I follow, listening, pour out
my own song, blending
rhythms we set in string
Joyous, these progressions
create music, only hinted in dream
Realities singing, strum every string
Dost thou resonate deep music
where our vibrations float heavens
Hast thee placed melody
hollowed body filling tunes
gaps bridged, keys that turn
where notes are being...

Before Burroughs
Letters, the beginning of a word
share in reason, sentences heard
The Ancient Days of Urizen given
Los Sentient Being, Blake's vision
steeped and seep ways, upon thinking
Long were his questions, slept upon
Forlorn views, negatives muse, sigh lined.
Before colors again adorned sprit and mind
Grimm or glitter of fairy dust
hues that dance the odd or macabre
these joys and public displays
carry me through this very day
With light that shines positive
dawns break, entering as living dead, yet
With light that shines positive
carry me...

upon Nguyen Ngoc Loans Knee
to be just three, bounced upon knee
this man owns a grocery store
peace, liberty we set up for he
living the life, cost of the coasts
stood under redwood lived live oak
summertime visits with man of the cloak
these hours of found catching the sites
Norodom Sihanouk himself on the run
came to a field borrowing guns
but no good despot designee
chased by red faced rouge
brought them along while
exchanging said goods, frights and flight
continues drop ins of swelter
cold wars found me barely but breathing
all points...

Unholy Night Walk (Collaboration by Souladareatease and Grace)
Darkened Howls lunge
riding screams within the wind
twirling, rolling tumbling
wraith, angry hauntingly pleased
tormenting passers-by descending decrees
Your shawl wet in cloak of dread
clinging stench shake of able
still the stance, tremble
quietly now Your step so feared
breath of the wraith whispers in Your ear
The mass behind the darkened place
Swirls in mists of horrors might
Laughs in growling howls
Through the annals of the night
Walk them carefully away
From darkness towards the light ...
riding screams within the wind

wraith, angry hauntingly pleased

The mass behind the darkened place
Swirls in mists of horrors might

DIRGES AND TEARS (A collaboration by Soul & Grace)
Torturous, this wears wet
bleeding out loss in life
be it not draining and soaking
hung out drying
watching sunrises
stead the settle, knowing
this, fills the hours
there, no holding it back
rolling thunderous black cloud
what keeps thee free being,
wracked by its wrath
Dirges and cries of sorrowing hearts
Of those that strew the petals of roses
Upon the mile that stretches far
To the garden where none astir
Where hearse move over fallen tears
What gods listen to the chanted prayers
not one who raise...

TOMORROW'S DREAM YESTERDAY (A COLLABORATION BY SOULADAREATEASE AND GRACE)
Rainbows tied neat with prismatic lights
hued yesterday's dreams in hopes for tomorrow
gift wrap boxes of life's surprises
with crossed fingers, pray for divine
leavings from the gods
opened in hope, with dewy-eyed sparkles,
for a roll of soft rose- strewn path towards
Happy Ever after
Was your yesterday's wishes thus?
Essence of smiles, laughter in colour
candle of hope lighting of thee
Hooks with ornaments a dream in me
glow within gander, warmth abounds
Heavenly Hearth, Haute in house
there, within tomorrows dream ...

BLANKETED SILK IM IN
distant road that calls me home
horses run Rome, thatched back lash and eye
drips that bubble crack mosaic form
we the free, pocketed couple in fright
snug about threaded inside tight
were they blue, indeed, white and clayed
sharp as ever these little razorblades
You hue "I drink it" in fixated desire
You scream out for me to touch
of this hesitance, reluctance
abrasions and cuts, this thorn
as delightful is to bleed
You watch it run down
yet happy to see, proof it hurt
petted rail
remember well
every time
melted...

Soul heart speaks (collaboration by Souladareatease and Grace)
Gentle breeze caresses my cheek
Kisses gentle as ethereal fingers
Gently tucking my hair behind my ear
The shadow play of leaves dance
upon the forest floor
there my heart dances and wishes
for safe harbour
what desires eclipse your heart
indeed, what needs flows
as passion within flow
Eternal, the wish giving kiss
to guide thine eyes, truly
deserve only ever bliss,
blessing this native, land
to skip like stones down stream
knowing Your heart glows,
twirling like the leaves,
shaking...

Mountain climbing
I went to the mountain
praying upon knees
my wishes
be granted to me
favored lucky humbled son
audacity to ask
the mountain loomed
requiring I soothe
stretched out my strings
acoustic style peace
with seduction inlaid
the mountain did sigh
gratified
but set out the warning
with each wish I had cried
one you will get
but this life
you must commit
the second you set
is the worthiest yet
take your time, learn
make it your quest
this third I must confess
dear boy,
you will have...

Glass to glass, a cheer to life (Collaboration: Souladareatease and Grace)
Dawn's sun rays glitters gold
Glimmers of gossamer dream dusts
On green drooping blades of grass
Hang on tips, collected dew drops
collected from silent sorrow tears
Reflections of your smile
these sing dawns arrival
they die of old, re-birthing tomorrows
develop and flower
style pistil petal
returning spring of Persephone
Dance in the meadow
Meadows of heaven
Spirit of Soul's fantasia
there, love lust-less recline
smiles to salve a broken heart
Collections of sorrows
Laid to rest...

DREAMS AND FALLEN LEAVES
(entered in Dreamscapes and Ghost towns comp.)
I sauntered in the old place
Looking about for that familar face
Thrice I had screamed
"I AM HERE,PLEASE DONT TEASE"
wind whistled through the old windows
Dust and despair filling this old soul
Drops from the cherry tree pound the roof
Echoes of Her reverberate living proof
"Whatchya doing buddy,write anything new?"
"Sure did Mum,something for You"
Silent strings no songs heard here
Just my shuffle and the flowing tear
Still the images ...

altar of sacrifice
And yet here I was again
Laid out
on the altar of sacrifice
Just peices of me
Little bits and string
Heart soul and mind
The dissections of time
To lay upon this table
Is feeling unhooked
Throwing this out
because I so choose
Today the sun rose
Because of the moon glow
Riding the winds
Whichever they blow
The birth of my Mother
Her second held life
Is just but another
This altar of sacrifice
I have felt many things
My time on this earth
Id go to great lengths
For...
