Eye Of The Storm (Inspired By Jim Morrison)
Call out of the wilderness
call out of fever, recieving
the wet dreams of an Aztec king’
- Jim Morrison
The thunder-clap cloud was a great heart,
it boomed like a majestic fortress door unlatching.
Here in her eye where stoned stillness lie,
her rain-thoughts captive and beaten,
broken.
Her magic was gone as she drifted off to sleep.
I became a dust mote in the great eye of her foretelling.
Here, in the shadow of a great humid awareness,
mind-melded into storms of a brutal rage...

but then, the words and silence come in infinite shades of varying pertinence
words…
[of your
diabolical mind reveals..
ironically
from your so hard inert silence
held like a lighted virtue
shaming virtue
leave infallible clues
as your turf breaks
just few words now
from your skindeep
disturbances
unleash your colours
to the unfiltered
daylights]
….didn’t make any song this time
questions?
hah. really
how shame you pose them to me
after all...

a string of consciousness debunked
It isn't raining.
I'm watching humid winds twist between lush tree branches like soft fingertips curling around flowing strands of (almost) auburn streaked hair.
Omnipresent clouds drift past in hues of blue and grey, whitewashed across the sky and mocking me in questionable humor.
I'm waiting for rain to begin skydiving down
down
down so I can reflect about a goddess I don't know if I believe in anymore.
So I can see a dead man ripple in a dirty puddle that's trapped in the depressed arches of cracked concrete.

RAGING NURTURING NATURE
Widespread squalling relentless rain,
swollen river driving debri mangle,
causing much unexpected pain,
uncontrolled dam release water,
compounding scarying disorder,
later prompting complain,
police materialise barking,
ordering everybody leaving,
some not harkening,

The Rain
When it rains it storms, laying in the bed is such a bore, wrapped in my covers snug and warm. Staring out the window watching the clouds form grey and dark clouds start covering the skies. The wind begins to blow the leaves all around the ground. Watching them spin around and around , leaves of fall colors , the green ones, the orange ones, yellowish green ones , and the brown ones to , all around in the air, spinning and spinning to its own tune.
Laying down watching and listening I can hear the sound of the rain touching the ground,
Drip...

Llanrwyst,Wales
Llanrwst on a sunny day,
beside the Conwy river, diamond fresh,
pebble strewn and bubbling,
beneath the narrow bridge.
A dog’s delight chasing swans.
Swim and drink your fill.
Shirt sleeve weather,
muddy paths from Monday rain,
walking shoes not sandals.
The drive across the hills to me was new,
hawthorns late, with pale green leaves
the ‘bread- and-cheese’ of child-hood,
eaten on the way to school.
Woolly sheep in hundreds, not a cow in sight,
do not mention mint ,that would be...

Day of Reckoning
Day of Reckoning
Traveling down U.S. 23 to make a surprise visit to my home town,
but it’s raining so hard I’m afraid the town will flood and we will all drown.
The sky is dark, menacing and unleashing its fury on the town.
Maybe I should have stayed put in Motown.
The weather was nice when I left and not a single storm cloud was predicted for the area.
What am I worried about? These frightening clouds are just causes me to experience hysteria.
I arrive in town to discover a tornado heading straight for me.
This is not how I imagined...

affair of rain & music
I walked down the steps in the pouring rain, the mean kind
that could knock a sparrow right out of the sky. when the wind
blows, it bends the rain horizontal, like artillery fire, & I take
stinging pellets in the face.
I was coming from the upstairs nightclub where I’d met her
months ago. Tommy the bartender had warned me: a kiss will
break your heart quicker than a bomber’s payload dropping on
a mighty harbor that carries soldiers & sailors on a pine box ride
from here to eternity. he mixed metaphors as well as he mixed
a whiskey...

A Week That Was
Saturday

I'm loath to comb the
morning tangles
from my long dark hair

watching birds scatter
the shadows of
hot air balloons
3.
showering—
connect constellations of
freckles on his shoulders
4.
writing this haiku
before bedtime
the fridge faintly humming
