The Friend in Morning
When I come outside I see the morning,
the birds are singing, sorrily
— there is a train rolling
through the East bottoms,
Since four o'clock,
the rooster across the alley,
he's been up and crowing,
The wind chimes I can hear,
Marmaton around the corner
playing his banjo from the balcony,
He stands for, Friend, come here.
I was named after a river,
and the grey clouds rolling in, you can see,
is where the promised rain is kept.
I've lived a long and far journey,
Friend, listen to...
the birds are singing, sorrily
— there is a train rolling
through the East bottoms,
Since four o'clock,
the rooster across the alley,
he's been up and crowing,
The wind chimes I can hear,
Marmaton around the corner
playing his banjo from the balcony,
He stands for, Friend, come here.
I was named after a river,
and the grey clouds rolling in, you can see,
is where the promised rain is kept.
I've lived a long and far journey,
Friend, listen to...

Words are /are not
Words are not an ointment
So don't think that
They stitch and heal
Your cuts and wounds
They do conceal.
Words are not a poet's pet
So don't think that
They only speak
The language of love,
The words of pain.
Words are not a cloud set
So don't think that
They will rain
Through my pen
Whenever a heart breaks.
Words are not lightweight
So don't think that
You'd understand
Too many things that
I haven't said.
Words are not a floweret
So don't think...
So don't think that
They stitch and heal
Your cuts and wounds
They do conceal.
Words are not a poet's pet
So don't think that
They only speak
The language of love,
The words of pain.
Words are not a cloud set
So don't think that
They will rain
Through my pen
Whenever a heart breaks.
Words are not lightweight
So don't think that
You'd understand
Too many things that
I haven't said.
Words are not a floweret
So don't think...

Ride On a Cloud
I want to ride on a cloud,
floating lighthearted and free
above soaring peaks and springing forests
from sea to roiling sea …
Far above the maddening refrain
of the monotonous song of life
played in endless, illusory variation
on a scratchy, worn-out phonograph.
Silence would be my only companion –
well, more or less – perhaps I’d view
the occasional eagle or hawk on the prowl,
or an impertinent honking goose!
Traveling so close to heaven,
in spirit if not in deed,
barely aware of the passing hours, ...
floating lighthearted and free
above soaring peaks and springing forests
from sea to roiling sea …
Far above the maddening refrain
of the monotonous song of life
played in endless, illusory variation
on a scratchy, worn-out phonograph.
Silence would be my only companion –
well, more or less – perhaps I’d view
the occasional eagle or hawk on the prowl,
or an impertinent honking goose!
Traveling so close to heaven,
in spirit if not in deed,
barely aware of the passing hours, ...

Lazy day
Gazing on a lazy day
Ceaseless wonders
At my infinite disposal
Incandescent radiance
Beams down
Begging me to stay
The glitter glare
Smeared across my charmed face
Brilliantly delirious
I delay
Just to waste
And melt away
For one more day
Ceaseless wonders
At my infinite disposal
Incandescent radiance
Beams down
Begging me to stay
The glitter glare
Smeared across my charmed face
Brilliantly delirious
I delay
Just to waste
And melt away
For one more day

Clouds
A one-time event, never to be repeated,
'til day is far spent or their light is depleted.
Blown in the blue canvas, spreading a story,
Consuming the sun or shied by its glory.
Practically still from wherever they departed,
Trails, islands and whole worlds left uncharted.
And who can behold them with ambivalence?
The daily wonders of heaven's magnificence.
~Poet of Ephraim

new haiku
Haiku
Early evening
The day gives way tonight
The child cries.
Tranquil is the sea
Ripples onshore as tar
Absent is the wind
Autumnal darkness
Impatient winter waits
Storm knocks on windows
Frost cracks on timber
Snow makes the land secretive
Will there be a spring?
Spring after rain-fall
Aromatic is the landscape
Broods climbing trees
Early evening
The day gives way tonight
The child cries.
Tranquil is the sea
Ripples onshore as tar
Absent is the wind
Autumnal darkness
Impatient winter waits
Storm knocks on windows
Frost cracks on timber

Will there be a spring?
Spring after rain-fall
Aromatic is the landscape

costly stones
costly stones
the mountain partly hid the lake
was crystal clear and warm
they swam across to the river where its outlet was
we were looking for costly stones.
The lake got shallow, and they waded, but could
not find any pricey stones.
When they waded back, the lake had retracted back
into the mountain, it was now a cave.
They picked some stones and decided to return
next day.
When they did the lake was blood- red and saw
nothing of interest
They did not know why the pool
was red thought the reason was it had taken...

Head In The Clouds
Do I look like one who would fool you?
You know I'd do anything for you.
I know I could be quite the cruel man.
You know I would rather be your man.
Come on, come on, my head's in the clouds.
Come on, come on, and shout it out loud.
Come on, come on, get lost in the crowd.
Come on, come on, I'll make my girl proud.
Come on, come on, my head's in the clouds.
I want to fly like the birds on high.
I know you won't take the wrong guy.
That's why I'm confident in your choice.
You know I'll be waiting for your voice.
...

(ME)
"Good morning day"...
(THE DAY)
"How are you today?"
(ME)
I'm fine as I in bed,
Cozy lay...
"Haha"... "Yes, I'm a sleepy head"...
I don't want to get up as I start to shiver
your day is so chilly
I hope I don't get a nasty fever
I'm trying to think silly
but it's hard to as you wintry me deeper...
Makes me sleepy as I try avoiding the cool floor
Being so exhausting cold
it's not easy to simply ignore
As I wish I had someone to hold
They'd keep me warm and more
...

The Sky Right Now
Absolutely black
Not a cloud to be found
nor a star from afar
Only planes spitting gas out the back
Polluted by lights the sky is diluted
Harder to see if there's an ET
Choppers with doctors, police helicopters
Back to my music
Not a cloud to be found
nor a star from afar
Only planes spitting gas out the back
Polluted by lights the sky is diluted
Harder to see if there's an ET
Choppers with doctors, police helicopters

Home-bound
from a dragon’s cage
my spirit at the window cries
to be set free and escape
where the sky awaits
I see the moon’s rise
long before the sun relents
behind clouds it will set
in magenta’s blush
my spirit at the window cries
to be set free and escape
where the sky awaits
I see the moon’s rise
long before the sun relents
behind clouds it will set
in magenta’s blush

Sky-bound
singing in my hand
folded once, then once more
the simple origami
of a paper crane
a corner of sky
kiting all to myself
lighter than a lesser gull
reaching for the sun
folded once, then once more
the simple origami
of a paper crane
a corner of sky
kiting all to myself
lighter than a lesser gull
reaching for the sun
