Limp Sound Display (collaboration with PAR)
Unwind the clock
there far beyond the beyond
where there is no one else
the world's on fire
on the waters he walks
humanity also walks...
passing the time with song
humming happy thoughts
Mouse falls into a trap
volcanoes explode islands
birds in my tree
birds destroy their nests
a rainy day, wash the hate away
like seahorse cowboys
singing their song
mushroom clouds dissipate
strawberries mean love
Let your body go with the wind
let your body free from your mind
Find the stairway at the...

utter chaos
direct vision this is madness speaking
should you want to talk to me
twilghted grief, midnight, addresses me
child of discontent, what troubles you
painful need speaks with the language of ache
grieving in the eternal with internal haunts
my feelings bring hurtful memories
sulking in the shadows I pull back into the darkness
covering myself with inky clouds
diluting my hurt with liquor
the spirits comfort
walking in the shaded doom
inspecting the beauty of the grey
lingers my emotions and I cry ...

Interpretive Woodcarving
I was at a plein air art show last fall
and at first,
I dismissed the sculptor
at the end
of the row,
with his hewn statuettes
amid the pretension
of watercolor and
bubble-gum-wrapper genius
But he might have been the best,
the one with the most soul.
I found myself with the crowd
mesmerized as he fired up
the chainsaw,
and transformed
a round hunk of dead tree
into something with a form
and a presence,
into something
living,
something
beautiful.

How we create
I write these words of the deepness of thoughts and creativity, to inspire all who have a passion to create. Whether it's from pen to paper or paint to canvas, for I am a firm believer as a writer, that we all have special talents as it is something that we love.
For sure it's something that we do in order to express, our thoughts and insight and feelings and imagination. As we release the gifted talents that we have to be able, to create something that is apart of us to share with others and the world 🌎 🪬 SHAMAN 🪬

amoebic minds of noisy pollutional mutations... absolves unto the Silent. Absolute. Truth: LOVE
august mercurial sunshine's an
intense powerplay of switching
degrees & unheard postures in
deadening twinges & brilliant
tinges of a slyly thievishness...
pretty d a n g e r o u s l y
of its quintessence- 'the sunniness' rays it rains...
with sudden sweepy shadowy p(l)ays it swapper sways...
cheap irony. timing the timeless Shakespeare,
“All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time...

Obviously the best looking
Those other guys
Yeah, they carried it
Just like Jack Casady on bass
Bless its Pointed Little Head album
Google it
Listen
Back to Poetspeak
The original Box Head
What do I always say ?

Jean Joseph, Ave Maria and Pacific Crest
When Pacific Crest visited Rome, New York
The school campus was too small for all the groups
So many corps had to go into the local neighborhoods
To warm up before they entered the stadium
And so it was that Pacific Crest came to Jean Joseph’s yard
(Her husband had marched drum corps in the 1940s)
And all though she could no longer attend the show
It was a treat to listen to the corps rehearse
And every year when Pacific Crest came to Rome
By tradition they stood outside Jean Joseph’s home
As a thank you, the corps would...

Dearest
i dream of you
in hues of azure
dream of erasing
the winterblues
with strokes
of hope
in our hands
a palette of
promises
shades of
us, waiting
to be painted
turning the dark
into a work of art
blending blues
on astral canvas
fusing in azure
if and when
i promise this
i will call you muse
in hues of azure
dream of erasing
the winterblues
with strokes
of hope
in our hands
a palette of
promises
shades of
us, waiting
to be painted
turning the dark
into a work of art
blending blues
on astral canvas
fusing in azure
if and when
i promise this
i will call you muse

Harvest From the Tomb
I sow these seeds of love for future’s bloom;
commit them to the dark in hope of light,
through dank decay, to harvest from the tomb.
When melancholy clouds my lover’s mind
and tenderness awakens only spite,
still, I sow seeds of love for future’s bloom.
Likewise, when bleakness threatens to consume,
or apathy tells me “give up the fight,”
despite decay, I’ll harvest from the tomb.
Though we can’t see the pattern on the loom,
we work our threads with patience day and night
to sow our seeds of love for future’s...

For The Bookplates
A signal purpose in collecting tomes
Is to transform mere brains into a mind
Whereby rude dwellings become homes
In which great thought and virtue you will find.
And though the marks upon their pages
Are not necessarily so divine,
It will please both I and subsequent sages
If you would gently treat each graceful spine.
If, perchance, their titles don't show it
This library belongs to an artist
And her connubial night time poet
Who vainly thinks his verse the smartest.
So if we have a book that you revere
Just ask...

Tea Leaves & Butterfly Wings
This present moment -
A protrusion,
From dimension to dimension,
Broadcasted onto a televised projection,
Sometimes seemingly
Beyond belief,
To some -
Oblivious
To others,
Nevertheless
Continuing to progress
Like prophecy
At least
In appearance,
Or,
Something
Unavoidable & predictable
At the very least,
In
Hindsight.
The chaos makes sense
At a future moment
In time -
To some,
And then to all.
But then -
To others, ...
