I Am the Storm
Raindrops fall, yet I still persevere.
Thunder makes its cry against a pitch
Black sky, yet I am standing strong
Like a warrior and I have no fear
As I face the storm directly. Some flinch
or cower away, but in the throng
Of people I hear the whispers of
The wind and I embrace the storm
That is always within me. Usually it is
A storm that tears everything we love
Apart into pieces, but it transforms
And makes everything that was frizzy
All around the edges like curly hair
Coming undone hold together like
Firm...

Harvesting The Storm
I was brought to this place
as a rain storm, in an exodus,
in a grand hope of a people
the color of another storm
that used to destroy
to make room for new life.
I was born in a land by the
ocean, surrounded by palms;
trees not native to the land.
Of bean fields and eucalyptus
& pepper trees, and makeshift
film studios in barns, paying
the extras in coin realm, before
the First World War and talkies.
And migrant workers in pickup
trucks, with their straw hats

Lilah
I called her name in the calmness of the wind
I watched her hair tumble down
like rocks down a seaside cliff
lilah was a rainbow above me
she held my hand today
and kissed my rosy face
lilah was away
the winds carried her beyond the sand
subtle rolls of thunder echoed through salty air
and lightning flashed around me
but she was smiling down
like the sun lights up for a flower
I waved goodbye
and watched the sky change
lilah was a hurricane

I am the storm
The silent storm
Gathered from a thousand winds
Low, resonant, approaching thunder
Stampede of vajra-like elephants
Everlasting storm
Breaking chains and cycles
Pushing through ghosts
Immutable
Aggregate of force
Unstoppable, impenetrable will
Steadfast, determined
Movement
{Allegorical apple
In the garden
at the ball
Calm, centred eye
I am Kallisti}
Mindful storm
Summoned mounts
Upon which minds move
Like eagles' flight
Drumroll...

Black Bosom
- Black Bosom -
Pierced I have been, my blood spilled by the self-righteous,
For the sake of their own foolish sins, poured out upon me!
Wounded I have been, my flesh pricked by the foolish few,
And yet I live, for the day when I shall rise in fiery splendor.
I despise their names, the ignorant who pose as most pious,
Into whose midst I was thrown, into such miserable company!
Their arrogance offends me, for all they believe is least true,
And their flesh shall be scorched by the descending thunder.
Let the storms crash and lash and screech...
Pierced I have been, my blood spilled by the self-righteous,
For the sake of their own foolish sins, poured out upon me!
Wounded I have been, my flesh pricked by the foolish few,
And yet I live, for the day when I shall rise in fiery splendor.
I despise their names, the ignorant who pose as most pious,
Into whose midst I was thrown, into such miserable company!
Their arrogance offends me, for all they believe is least true,
And their flesh shall be scorched by the descending thunder.
Let the storms crash and lash and screech...

U Kux Kaj
Howling winds tell tales in Celtic verse,
To break the bough and babe falls down; its curse.
Invades the summer wrapped in ashen shrouds,
The blanket fills the sky - unending clouds.
This tapestry, its weft and warp harmonic,
Brings balance to our grounds shift plate tectonics.
The snake eats tail, and so continues on,
As lark turns into nightingale; one song.
The jasmine fills the air, your scent - it waits,
The sunfire mane to ocean pools cascade.
Now summer's end upon us, nights draw in,
To play this...
To break the bough and babe falls down; its curse.
Invades the summer wrapped in ashen shrouds,
The blanket fills the sky - unending clouds.
This tapestry, its weft and warp harmonic,
Brings balance to our grounds shift plate tectonics.
The snake eats tail, and so continues on,
As lark turns into nightingale; one song.
The jasmine fills the air, your scent - it waits,
The sunfire mane to ocean pools cascade.
Now summer's end upon us, nights draw in,
To play this...

Frankie
I hate when I am shrugged off,
it pisses me the hell off.
I have a task,
I will not be overlooked.
I don't crave attention,
I don't want attention,
But you must not understand my mission.
You will remember my name,
I demand to be seen and heard on this,
You will see what I am capable of,
Whether you want to or not,
I am built to run circles around the rest of the crowd.
I don't know how to stop,
I'm too pissed off to turn back now.
Understand that...
it pisses me the hell off.
I have a task,
I will not be overlooked.
I don't crave attention,
I don't want attention,
But you must not understand my mission.
You will remember my name,
I demand to be seen and heard on this,
You will see what I am capable of,
Whether you want to or not,
I am built to run circles around the rest of the crowd.
I don't know how to stop,
I'm too pissed off to turn back now.
Understand that...

rain return
And the wind brought us the rain
Cut the heat to chill our brain,
Wonder if we go to the beach
If this rain was just a breach,
Or we’ll have back the scorching sun
So the winter will be undone,
Cloud formations in the sky
are a wonder no deny,
mask the sun and chill the day
I want summer all the way,
freezing season frosty shivers
I don’t like those stormy winters,
The are just good to stay in bed
And be fearful with their dread.
Cut the heat to chill our brain,
Wonder if we go to the beach
If this rain was just a breach,
Or we’ll have back the scorching sun
So the winter will be undone,
Cloud formations in the sky
are a wonder no deny,
mask the sun and chill the day
I want summer all the way,
freezing season frosty shivers
I don’t like those stormy winters,
The are just good to stay in bed
And be fearful with their dread.

incoming ...
air
thick and heavy
wet blanket
pressure changed
slightly at first
not many may have sensed it
but it was as if the earth slowed
just a bit,
wind
rushed in
cooling
refreshing breeze
suddenly, behind it
first flash
lit up the entire room
clap of thunder
roared
bursting the night sky
into a
water fall
thick and heavy
wet blanket
pressure changed
slightly at first
not many may have sensed it
but it was as if the earth slowed

Song of The Sumptian
Running the Mill
for a Spill of the Swill.
Make of it what you Will,
and i'll be your Buffalo Bill ,
(honey'doll)
And so this song occurred in me brain,
it recalls of an undies skidmark stain.
Human'life bogged down in folly's domain .
(As goes la provenzia, so goes the urbane).
I say, ol'chum, have you e'er did see,
A sight so sightly as a knuckle'head tree?
Or perhaps standing at the precipice be,
Waggin' me dickie-bird for one last pee.
ddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd ...

Space Gas
The janky stanky winds
of reflection
are blowing in
my direction,
yet I don't care to see
who I've become.

Tetraodontiidae For All ! (A Faulted Rhyme Beyond It's Time), disposable, Not to be recycled.
Picked a pickled pufferfish
and put it on a plate.
Some'o them is poison'ish,
But Nippons think they great.
Used to find'em a'beached in sand
after the roiling tempestuous rain.
Sashimi, this little gift from God.
A Toxic delicacy, daring vile pain.
( But, perhaps next time,...
wee will want
a taste, whether
sweet or plain )
