Campground of Love
I entertain a wild thought
As one does an uncommon guest
Who has somehow become distraught,
Possibly, by a tactless jest...
Cooked up by naughty troubadours
Whose merriment will never cease
Just as newfound thinking explores
Cerebral avenues of peace...
Which transfix the crossroads of bliss
Like rendezvous with a lover
In the greatest need of a kiss
Both over and under the cover
Where measures of heaven are trapped!
Then, the troubadours true duty
Is to see those measures get mapped
By eyeballs devoted to beauty! ...

White lotus appear
Aloft, translucent brush strokes
Bright scene - I endear

The Sounds of Ocean Waves
When in doubt
Alone
And lost
Within myself
I sit down
Sometimes
I lay down
And take my mind
On a trip
Down memory lane
To a place
That was magical
Unbelievable
As I was experiencing it
That very day
And I was
So happy
Just to see
A big body of water
For the first time
In my life
That will always
Be special to me
Reasons why
When I’m down
This memory
Is my go to
That always
Bring a smile
To my face
Remembering
The ocean...
Alone
And lost

I sit down

SkullnXbone hand
(Introduction)
such a wing of beauty
laid in the palm of the underworld
papilio ulysses
on a skullncrossbone hand
she flew to
the hollow of its eyes
inflamed the green fibres
of a once before winter storyland
lifted its arm to release her
onto grey discourse
weeping the clouds
aggregating carnality
alkaline with kind
diffuse rains down
upon all of the damned
she raised purple and blue roses
blessed the black with true sentiment
the way that a skeleton could never understand
….he...

Sadness you Could Cut with a Knife
She passed my way
Just a whisper of time
Paramount beauty
Wrapped in sadness
No matter how I tried
She couldn't shake the darkness
Then one day she receded
Left my ever still life
Moved elsewhere
Destination unknown
I looked at her picture today
Some sad, some not so much
I could find her if I tried
We had just a moment
Maybe one day
Or else just let it be
Just a whisper of time
Paramount beauty
Wrapped in sadness
No matter how I tried
She couldn't shake the darkness
Then one day she receded
Left my ever still life
Moved elsewhere
Destination unknown
I looked at her picture today
Some sad, some not so much
I could find her if I tried
We had just a moment
Maybe one day
Or else just let it be

Beautiful Things
I want to make beautiful things again
to write words that don't carry pain
sketch dumb cartoons, paint landscapes
sing every note with no strain
and hum in the kitchen making pancakes.
I want to see people heal
to know that good can win
kiss my darling for every reason
caress a hand across their skin
and welcome the changing season.
I want to show the sky to you
to see the stars as I do
wander between reality's borders
reach through the void for life's clues
and return with no disorders.
Maybe we...
to write words that don't carry pain
sketch dumb cartoons, paint landscapes
sing every note with no strain
and hum in the kitchen making pancakes.
I want to see people heal
to know that good can win
kiss my darling for every reason
caress a hand across their skin
and welcome the changing season.
I want to show the sky to you
to see the stars as I do
wander between reality's borders
reach through the void for life's clues
and return with no disorders.

Her Words Smile
Her words smile through the page.
Is it poetry or thoughts whose
loveliness comes from their honesty?
Is she beautiful?
I think so.
To know her words
is to see her beauty.
Can I be smitten by words?
It has happened before.
Where are we going
on this dark night drive
in the desert? Please Faith,
write another word to give me light?

orientalism (for Susan)
orientalism
sharing a bed with you
feels like floating down a river
in japan with cherry blossoms overhead
to scent my journey.
your voice is a necklace of haiku
that seduces my soul.

Not Your Kind of Pretty
I don't want
to be pretty
like the girls
on TV
I want to be
pretty
like
the darkest things
that fuck
that bleed
that love
that breathe
And I don't want
diamonds
I don't want heels
I just want to
scream~
Barefoot
through the fields
I don't want money
and I'll never kneel
I want to feel
like I'm always
dreaming
like I'm truly
healed
Oh...
I don't want to be
your kind of pretty
I want to be
fulfilled ...
to be pretty
like the girls
on TV
I want to be
pretty
like
the darkest things
that fuck
that bleed
that love
that breathe
And I don't want
diamonds
I don't want heels
I just want to
scream~
Barefoot
through the fields
I don't want money
and I'll never kneel
I want to feel
like I'm always
dreaming
like I'm truly
healed
Oh...
I don't want to be
your kind of pretty
I want to be
fulfilled ...

The Lighthouse
Towering lantern in the night, tell me what you see.
Roaring waves, reaching into the blackest ocean with tears in your hands.
Caught a ride with the moon, as storms parted briefly. The dimmer glare took control if only for a moment.
Piercing eye sees through misty waters. Waves high upon your proud chest, white slender lighthouse tell what you know.
Have you watched the ships tossing in deep dark waters when you cast your bright beam, vowing to let no souls be lost?
Maybe it's time to wave goodbye, as I steer my ship around you.
Roaring waves, reaching into the blackest ocean with tears in your hands.
Caught a ride with the moon, as storms parted briefly. The dimmer glare took control if only for a moment.
Piercing eye sees through misty waters. Waves high upon your proud chest, white slender lighthouse tell what you know.
Have you watched the ships tossing in deep dark waters when you cast your bright beam, vowing to let no souls be lost?

You’re So Nostalgic
Remember when I told you that you’re nostalgic & that’s why I like you?
It was back in May I think
We were stoned, laying up in your bed (you still lived at your old apartment)
I was greening out,
and staring at your 90’s Australia map tapestry on the ceiling above us.
I caught my breath, and I was laying on your
left shoulder,
and I said “I know why I like you so much. You’re so nostalgic.
I don’t know how else to say it.”
You said I was a poet, in the way I talked
& you kissed my head,...

Neon Cosmos
We are the ones that lie awake
Looking up at the moon every night,
And wondering to ourselves
If there is anyone else out there
Looking at the same moon...
Each thing that we see
So different and separate from ourselves,
All that exists in this life
Is cold and fleeting;
A disappearing reality.
A blood red moon
Hanging within a pale sky,
And therein lies the answer
We've all been searching for
Such a long time…
Two bodies share a single soul,
Once you reached out to me
I knew it was you,
Now you're...
Looking up at the moon every night,
And wondering to ourselves
If there is anyone else out there
Looking at the same moon...
Each thing that we see
So different and separate from ourselves,
All that exists in this life
Is cold and fleeting;
A disappearing reality.
A blood red moon
Hanging within a pale sky,
And therein lies the answer
We've all been searching for
Such a long time…
Two bodies share a single soul,
Once you reached out to me
I knew it was you,
Now you're...
