A Man You Ought to Love
The Buddha’s known
as “the compassionate”.
But why?
For this::
Not only did he see
with overwhelming empathy
Man’s dire need to be
released from fated suffering
but kindly taught “him” how
this could be done
successfully.
and thereby caused
his being praised,
extolled, and justly so,
by high and low
as one
who was (and is)
deserving to be loved.
as “the compassionate”.

Beauty and Bewilderment
The most intense landscape
swallowed in the sweltering sun,
the desert screams in silence.
Sandstorms sprouting and small houses in the distance,
this land of dust and heat demands the strongest will to survive.
On this path you will meet the kindest and most resilient of beings
seeing life from an ancient but timeless perspective.
Determined and confident in each moment of uncertainty
is what you must be in this most unforgiving of environments.
Surrounding mountains sheltered in the shade of the clouds.
Beyond the brutality...

Determined and confident in each moment of uncertainty

Deserts
I've been waiting for you for hours and hours
then I spiked my horse with spurs
and disappeared into the radiance of the desert...
sand on shoulders will measure my time
sand lying on itself naked
the hourglass of the crystal in your eyes
horse of fire trampling the ground
aimless rider from pain in the hands
desert pain in flowers without buds
sand in a storm hurting the eyes
dry tears streak lost appeal
I don't know about you and where are you lurking
the compass rose has lost the north

The Fujyiama's sunset
The sunset over the Fujiyama
speaks of abandonment,
but a wanderer weeps on his tatami.
Dance in kimono's delight.
The wind shines like heaven's volcanoes.
The morning Hibachi for virtuous water.
The desert's montain!
The body aches for red velvet kimono
as in the night of dream's agony.
The wind is a luscious Hibachi.
The desert's rapture dew drops.
The night shines like no moon.

Mad Jasmine
- Mad Jasmine -
I wear my blue harem pants, and I can really dance,
With a sword in my hand, I’m like a warrior princess.
I will not wait for some hero to come save the day…
My heart is hungry for romance, and when I prance,
The desert blazes hot; I am not, a damsel in distress!
All the people know my name, and I like it that way.
Mad Jasmine they call me, and I steal the show well,
You won’t take my kingdom; I will see you in Hell…
Evil wizards can’t match, the spell my eyes can cast!
I’m like a warrior princess from out the ancient...

Chronology of Timeless Bliss
Chronology of Timeless Bliss
These are stories of devotion, like the tale of a wife who risked the lash by dancing naked in the bazaar as rain poured from the parched sky when a boom of thunder resonated and dark clouds congregated overhead. Arcs of lightning cascaded downward as pearls of liquid floated down from the vault of the sky splashing lyrically.
She dreamed in mythical visions of pools of water filling the gaping rock holes. Floods of delightful cool liquid spread over sun-drenched yellow. Luscious streams of aqua stretched out reaching across in muddy...

Sonoran
She was simply a wildfire ripping her way across the prairie
The animals knew to get out of her way, never having seen anything so scary
flames leaving death and destruction, never looking back at her past
Hahaha, flames blazing a trail like a lady with the perfect ass
Whether I be mesmerized by her beauty or blinded by her light
For whatever reason I a mere cactus, I'm still grounded in both awe and fright
Though barren all of the creatures that once comfort now seeks an escape
while I stare into her eyes relishing the thought of being brutally raped...

Arabian Princess
Arabian Princess
Smoky haze of her gaze
With blue marbles lashed
For a night in the Casbah
When auburn tresses fall
Like storms of coral sand
Blown across an Arabian evening song
Sung by dark light of heaven
When rain mists her strands
Into a red velvet cake
Her blue fire aglow in soft sea orbs
That see deep into the desert night
Where sorrow knows no surrender
Only warm currents of desire
Smoky haze of her gaze
With blue marbles lashed
For a night in the Casbah
When auburn tresses fall
Like storms of coral sand
Blown across an Arabian evening song
Sung by dark light of heaven
When rain mists her strands
Into a red velvet cake
Her blue fire aglow in soft sea orbs
That see deep into the desert night
Where sorrow knows no surrender
Only warm currents of desire

Desert Evening
Mesmerized by late afternoons with pink and purple skies
Haha Cactus and me watching tumbleweeds racing by
Dust devils swirling away trying to move this dry heat
Be careful where you step fossilized history is under your feet
Hello there Mr. Rattler, how have you and Mr. Scorpion been
You could had sent word to me by way of the Wind
I know that it's not a dependable means of messaging
It seems to be down time and time again
And when it does come around, all it seems to do is stir up dust
Ripping and roaring, he's a bandit that can't be...

Pueblo Cat
Cats and Pueblos
Her mesa smile beams beatific
When enchanted adobe melts into clouds
On a juniper afternoon piled for bread
Our tour a fairy tale on the slippery edge
Where magic meets reality in a melting pot
We choose the path less traveled
On an ancient trail instead of a bus
On our descent a friendly cat chaperones us
But her speech is most uncanny
“I am your nagual guide to keep you safe
Because I know these heights are harrowing.
You see I am a person in the form of a cat.

Luxury on the Reservation
Luxury on the Reservation
5-star dining at the Hopi museum
A pricey change from prefab fast food
Native waiting staff in tuxedos
And smiles to rival Parisian cafes
With year-round sunshine
Inside and out
Dust storms usher us to Tuba City
Where Navajo street corner greets us
With directions to our expected modest motel
We walk into a scene from Versailles
Bed suspended in tree trunk frame
Lacquered in dark brown
Mattress for Buckingham Palace
Curtains drape the windows
In fine luxury form
Her wicked...

Angelica Hex
from soil you grew
into lady so fair
citrine dust in your eyes
earthy lust in your stare
daughter of Heathen
far into the Eastern
Crusaders would search
your body
their holy temple
your hair
hemp and holy sand
from your leaf
issued incense
burning bronze nights
beautification smoking
silhouette scent
sandalwood breeze
veiling their eyes
as snake
sliming in squeeze
Lady of the lantern
Genie all wishes three
above earth lifts you
swords raised
pointing...
