rain songs
your curved
white
tiny waves
forming,
clear outlines,
you break
the surface
with thin
drumming,
sing
your rain
songs,
sing down
on us,
your stories
anchor
themselves
along
our shoreline.

not wearing conversations
i will
not wear
these
conversations
outside today,
it is
too cold
for steady
employment
in that
cold air,
that breath
which wants
nothing more
than
to see me
run
and hide,
to admit
i have
been
too comfortable
inside.

Huron Shores
Greying skies
An approaching storm
darkens fens
on Huron shores
Lonely cedars
in a sea of grass and rush
Dots of colour
tiny orchids,
bladderwort
paintbrush
They bear the brunt
Wind, rain, snow
from far across the lake
Sentinel cedars
Clinging to tiny hummocks
Battered
a lifetime of storms
Sturdy, stunted trees
Standing corpses
eroded by the lake’s power
Dead branches, stripped of bark
Bleached white
Stabbing from trunks
like sharpened...

primitive spirit
dance with me on a thundercloud
while the skies burst their seams
spin me across lightning bolts
as night spreads her wings
cobalt smudges bearing grudges
stomp the evening pale
leaving their darkened mark
as daylight meekly slips away
as flashes strobe through shadowed patches
touch my upturned face
kiss me
here
in the heart of the tempest
breathing deeply of my rapture
torn between the caution I've always practiced
and throwing myself to the wind
where gales wrap passion around...

Storm Theory
Stormy
weather rarely
makes for a dull
afternoon. The greying
skies that most despise
illuminate each time the bolts
commune. The subsequent thunder
roars because it's startled by the lightening.
The clouds cry out as desire dies, it's distant
warning leaves them frightened. The first fork
strikes, holding hands with the branch that
breaks through canvas of green. The promise
of calm and the grounding of nature take
turns to intervene. A voice through clouds
and misty rain as good a comfort
as any....

the dry earth and her lover
the dry earth
sleeping
in her own
boundary
of existence,
in a realm
of possibilities,
it's very breath
weights
upon the waking,
thoughts
becoming unraveled,
each moment
longer
is torture,
longing to hear
simple words
from her
absent lover,
the clouds
unknowing
the cause
of her distress,
what
she needs now
is your storms,
pace
back and forth,
talk sweet
to her,
let your blood
flow
like words,
she drinks...

lemonade drops
she stood
lifting
her smile
heavenly,
the lemonade
drops
falling from
overhead
cotton candy
clouds,
she tried
to drink
as much
rain
as she could,
drying
the storm
and bring
back
the banana
sun.

Cloudscape
Coy he isn’t
He’s confident inside
His cloudscape
Where black and white
Collide into lightning
Lighting the landscape
Of his poetic mind along
With an occasional cigarette
Answering the call
Of being struck
On his back porch
In only a towel that’s
Still damp from his shower
Where lines of smoke
Are written in sync with
The pulse flashing inside
His electric blue eyes
When he’s focused
In rainwater soaked hair
Embracing the storm
Where grey turns to chrome
...

From the death throes of empty gas pumps...
I wander amidst a massive wasteland
where barren grocery shelves
lay exposed, open and void
sustenance morphs to what is easiest
something canned - this or that
snacks you never normally buy
but have become standard 'hurricane food'
rapidly checking off my precarious prep list
the humdrum of reality topples
into a surrealistic excursion
in search of the last package of D batteries
it makes for some stark discoveries
clearing this fog of dreadful anticipation
small...

wrath of a lady
she woke me
with rage building in her throat
her deep seated rumble the first sign of trouble
shaking my bed with her anger
and I rose wiping sleep from my eyes
ready to hear her out
well accustomed to her moods
as she gathered momentum
I stood in awe at her fierce expression
but cautious
it is wise to be wary of her temperament
going from moaning
to weeping
to howling fury
stomping the ground with the weight of it
flashing skies of her eyes
lashing & dancing all around
threatening to drown
or burn...

Monsters of My Deep
Thunder's belly rumbles across a gun metal sky.
The world must sense the storm between you and I.
Rain.
Soft wet static sound.
Dampening the fibers of sadness.
Is there ever really an answer to be found?
Darker thoughts naturally emerge.
The tide at the shore of our wounds is low tonight.
The soaked moon looks fallen snow white.
And there you are, fallen, lifeless.
Lips purple blue to never speak the truth.
Lost in a sea of me, you drowned.
Among the monsters of my deep blues.
The world must sense the storm between you and I.
Rain.
Soft wet static sound.
Dampening the fibers of sadness.
Is there ever really an answer to be found?
Darker thoughts naturally emerge.
The tide at the shore of our wounds is low tonight.
The soaked moon looks fallen snow white.
And there you are, fallen, lifeless.
Lips purple blue to never speak the truth.
Lost in a sea of me, you drowned.
Among the monsters of my deep blues.

I remain
Just like the roots of a tree,adapting through all kinds of matter.
I remain;calm,strong and grounded,whatever the weather.
