An Unknown Land
Far away
Windblown, beyond the unknown
A pale autumn moon
Glows onto the ruins
Etched in stone
An unknown hand
Long forgotten
In the distant future
Eternal flame to the next of kin
Windblown, beyond the unknown
A pale autumn moon
Glows onto the ruins
Etched in stone
An unknown hand
Long forgotten
In the distant future
Eternal flame to the next of kin

A Cold Emptiness
As the sunlight dies
In cold empty darkness
Stillness of the grave
What the ruins remember
Through time and memory
Death appears through the windblown storm
Where the flame is eternal
Awakening

My Ocean, My Sea
Be my Ocean; be my Sea
Waves of green wash over me
Fluid arms of your embrace
Sparkling crests of your face
Dark cool ripples soothe & bury
On your salty surface carry
Missing pieces of our hearts
Solve the puzzle, mend the parts
With seagrass garb, pearls & shells
Mask my sorrow, quench my hell
(This parched survival sans your love) …
Seafoam spray from above
Crash your passion into me
Be my Ocean; be my Sea
Love, my Love, hear my plea
Mighty waves, rewind the days
____ please, return to me!

Meanwhile! - with Crimsin
Meanwhile! sipping Bénédictine
listening to sounds of metamorphosis
from sage to green awakening eyes
in Rendevous
like rhapsody of poetic wildflowers
beneath the windblown galaxy
as if a cassette of Saturn's rings
sipping Bénédictine
a litany of thoughts flow
in clandestine rings
floating to God's ears as incense
prayers of heathen memories
the likes that would make my priest blush
while a candlelight vigil takes note of my prone soul
awaiting the knights' keeper of visions
worries over my eternity
sipping...

WIND blown
waltzing amorphous aphrodisiacs rain rustic refrains
pirouetting sky larking through my psyche
lulling looming ripples
nightingale sings musk scented air
synched songs syrup through
performing labyrinths
occult opus unfolds shaped into rhetorical roses
fallen universal unicorns returning
encompassing embers stirred
into flapping wings of a bird

atmospheric inhales
Lightning cracks
rain sprinkles down
cool and gentle
the atmosphere trembles
in anticipation
I want to feel
the windblown bent
of the trees like I'm one of them
at the mercy of the elements
trying to sweep me off my feet

Longing
A sleepless night begins, and, much like another
I crawl through the darkness as the mind sunders
Words are gone, horror a newfound companion
Until the dawn, it's a quest for a new oblivion
Silence is everywhere, a sight ever so solemn
In these times that oh so wish to be forgotten
Shaking, moving, quickly twisting, hastily breathing
Moans and begging, asking for a reply: but nothing.
Suddenly, a faint light. New odour. Invisible sight.
Rattling at the door of the spirit, with such might!
Transported to another land, I smile, and...

Windblown
Windblown, I am not to decide which direction I roam
I am not to decide where my branch does grow
I am not to say the type of seed I drop
I am only to display all remaining strength of an old trunk rotten
I am windblown, I am untidy but taut
I am sporadic, I am science, my strength stays sought
I am windblown, ugly, nasty, I am cracked, warped arm reaching out,
windblown, seeking sun rays and cloud's replenishing spouts,
Windblown, apple heavy, my leaves absorbing the light,
I am windblown and even still, midst this massive...

Baby Mine is still the saddest song in Dumbo
when I was a kid,
I had a rock tumbler
I’d pack it with beach stones
listening to the thing whir and crunch
for a month until I excitedly
unscrewed the cap
sieving off the thick granite slurry
to reveal my polished agates.
I kinda feel like my spine makes
the same noise these days
every morning it cracks
like a mother fucking glow stick
that refuses to actually glow
every morning I sit in the shower
washing off sweat and sleep ...

M'lady Moon
wings glisten upon a breeze
gentle murmurs as feathers fan
soft calls in low-throated hum
windblown whispers between ancient trees
their creak & moan stirs the blood
as breath held in anticipation is released
darkness shimmers beneath her glow
& night swoons
pulse racing at her silver lacing

Riverness
Riverness
I could cease here,
on these flats with that silt,
vertebrae stretching out of skin,
not la petit mort but actually gone,
grey of the river, lips cracked like parched earth,
body as still as the island where no one bar fishermen go.
I could be thistle fodder, and rape seed, and salt licked,
until my marrow soaks fearlessly into quick sand,
draped in seaweed, mouthed upon by fish.
The morbid has me by the neck today
until an American,
who looks a little like God might look, speaks,
he says,
"You've...

Casting Lots
I observed as Autumn and Summer
faced off at the brink of each other--
"I shall win, this time"
Autumn declared, and the sun dimmed, just a little.
"Take your Pyrrhic victory," and Summer handed over its leaves
bowing out, but not without a plan to return.
Air, a little colder, leaves, a little golder
became windblown, tumbling away
but not before I threw in all of my pasts to join them
then turned away, feeling new.
