The Seashore
It once more beckons
the allure of the shore
the patient wait of the sand
weighs down all time
Sets the stage for rhyme
rich in its granularity
my soul singularity
in this universal vastness
A mere drop, a mere tear
while the waves draw me near
the allure of the shore
the patient wait of the sand
weighs down all time
Sets the stage for rhyme
rich in its granularity
my soul singularity
in this universal vastness
A mere drop, a mere tear
while the waves draw me near

Erudition
So, what is the dear price
of erudition...
the cost of its tuition
paid throughout the years
The currency of tears
shed
spent
leaving me to repent
For everything I do know
with this briny lacrimal flow

Picket Fences
I try to marshal all my defenses
behind these picket fences
all perfectly straight
all bleached pale white
pretending all is alright
when real righteousness has left
yet I still feel the impatient weight
of unblinded justice finally bend
always points here in the end
to the actual scene of the theft
behind these picket fences
all perfectly straight
all bleached pale white
pretending all is alright
when real righteousness has left
yet I still feel the impatient weight
of unblinded justice finally bend
always points here in the end
to the actual scene of the theft

I want to say 3/30
I want to say
trip the
light
fantastic but it means to
dance
this is not what I want to say here
I want to sign a
requiem
for a
dream but that’s
a movie
for tripping
it’s telling me all kinds of
things
it’s gesturing me
to
conduct
compose
di-
a -
gram
a
mirror
of
my own
light
it’s telling
me to
own lines
& let’s not
drown
in the mirror ...

Reluctant
I look to the empty box
white cursor blinking
Sigh
I start the tune app and wait for it to load
I don't want it to
Then Ill have to see the 1st song
Sigh
It's loaded
I stir my coffee for a full minute
In nervous diversion
Pills!
I get up and fill my special cup
1 of these, 1 of these, no 2 of these
1 of these, two of these today
1 of those and 1 of these and skip this one
and this one ...
Check the stash for inventory
Gotta order this one again
Ok back in front of comp ...

Ink Blot
So, what does it say
this bright blot of ink
as I try now to think
of all that it might be
Perhaps a stray bat
or maybe a lone face
some mere feeble trace
of what lies here within
A hint of hidden sin
to finally shed some light
on the secrets of the night
buried deep within my lines
Pallid while the moon shines
bathed in her silvery-blue
as I try again to renew
old stories now retold
Unlocking my ciphered mind
still hoping to find
the real questions... ...

Silhouette
It is so easy to forget
to fill in this silhouette
leave the sharp edges
there alone to define
Provide more than a sign
more than a hint
in a world full of glint
of what lies dark beneath
Concealing all of the rest
all that I do still protest
to fill in this silhouette
leave the sharp edges
there alone to define
Provide more than a sign
more than a hint
in a world full of glint
of what lies dark beneath
Concealing all of the rest
all that I do still protest

Submerge
Feelings are deep
sea creatures
with everlasting features
Each has a memory
has a permanence
defines while filling space
Collects then spends time
submerges within the rhyme
ever safe below the surface
Where I am allowed to feel
get in touch with what is real
what is true
Till there is nothing left to do
to finally fully purge
then simply reemerge

Inklings
I feel this dark flow
from head to toe
of trickling ink
bring me... to the brink

A Distillation
My life is a poetic celebration
a rarefied distillation
of all I have done and seen
of these lessons I did glean
Whether on a road of broken glass
or a gentle meadow of verdant grass
I have always sought to find
some ever lasting peace of mind
Wearing these smiles and scars
collecting my moments in jars
to keep them on a shelf
mere mementos of my self
So I may pen them in a book
allowing me a lasting look
into how far I have come
how my whole is more than my sum
Yet keeping an eye on the...

Reflectivity...
No matter how I polish the glass
I cannot change what I still see
this carnival distortion that is me
that I can never seem to just pass
Studying these distorted designs
how they wear upon my face
make me again feel out of place
uncurve all of these straight lines
Since they have no true focal point
for me to now focus
leaves me lost in this hocus pocus
where past and future are disjoint
As I struggle with what to say
what clever lines to now pen
avoid all these cliches again
that do block and...

I rub upon your 4/30
I rub upon your
temples
coarse
finger grains
fine
the microcosm
the mica
the pumice
of breaking apart
i could break it down
phonetically
with eye
naked
exfoliated
but the ocular
that’s learned how things occur
the abstract
mold concept
superimposed
rods
cones
making wind
stone
my words
pottery
they are the clay
living poetry
ephemeral dirt
in oyster shells
