not easy on the train ..
why would I buy you flowers when
you deserve trees and what do you
mean where have I've been trying to get
this bleedin' oak home for hours ..

Wilderbeast
I dream in old rivers,
the beds of ancients bestowed,
rolled round as pebbles chased
downstream
on Spring tide a' storm
and hums the great babbling
of cold, Winter days,
where leaves rest wild rotting
in drift, sand, grain bays.
Naked trees on the banks
hang hands down to pray,
though the buds are a-coming,
swell by the dawn and by day
My toes are a-curling for freedom and chase.
My mind too erratic to ever erase.
I drown her by river,
the wood sets a-blaze.

BEYOND BOUNDARIES
From silky memories of moonlight nights to sunset walks upon the beach within the early morning dawn of light, it is those memories I cherish the most of you and I as one heart and one soul, for even now as I walk the beach alone with the sun against my back as I look as far as my eyes will let me see I wish that you were here with me to the see the very beauty that you open my eyes too. For you've shown me that there is more of the world to see like the ocean with its mist of an summer breeze blowing against my skin, even to walks amongst the trees and tall grass and flowers called nature...

Poem (Spring Emergence: The Pear Tree)
Frailty in paper,
a thinness blooming:
She is seen in a mirror.
He sees her, the writer,
bleeding ink onto his pages,
decorating his drab days:
She holds a single rose in her
subtle emergence.
She must be born, he thought,
this way that only fate allows.
The tactile grief is necessary,
that she become seperate from him.
The blossoms fall first
dried under his sun,
yet they remain white:
Floating in tiny winglets,
they become the very air.
Her veins emerge within
his parchment...

The Mountains
The terrain might be a little rough,
But the view from here is quite surreal,
High above the plains in the mountains,
The scenery has a certain appeal.
From up here the trees go on forever,
Rolling in between canyons and hills,
And the path that only few dare take,
It’s a journey of adventures and thrills.
In winter everything is covered in snow,
As the highest summit stands alone,
By spring the rivers begin to flow,
Where wildlife and flowers have grown.
Though there is always danger of fire,
Up here all is...
But the view from here is quite surreal,
High above the plains in the mountains,
The scenery has a certain appeal.
From up here the trees go on forever,
Rolling in between canyons and hills,
And the path that only few dare take,
It’s a journey of adventures and thrills.
In winter everything is covered in snow,
As the highest summit stands alone,
By spring the rivers begin to flow,
Where wildlife and flowers have grown.
Though there is always danger of fire,
Up here all is...

Bird Of Winter
A bird of Winter never leaves,
but remains behind
among the trees.
All the others far have flown
to winter Edens in
temperate zones.
I cannot see, but only hear,
my eyes stung with
crispest air
and whitest sky against grey limbs
twisted above
alone and slim.
The joyful bird echoes melodic notes
it's whitest wings
spread out as it floats
and lifts from one...
but remains behind
among the trees.
All the others far have flown
to winter Edens in
temperate zones.
I cannot see, but only hear,
my eyes stung with
crispest air
and whitest sky against grey limbs
twisted above
alone and slim.
The joyful bird echoes melodic notes
it's whitest wings
spread out as it floats
and lifts from one...

The Uninhabitable Earth
How can people live so happily,
Amidst such an unimaginable tragedy
Unnoticed by the untrained eye,
Our beloved planet begins to die.
The hand we have dealt ourselves,
Will turn our heaven into hell itself,
If we don’t learn a better way,
To show care, in this game of life we play.
It’s time for a dramatic shift,
For our ways have clearly gone adrift;
We must act now, and make it swift,
Or through the ashes we will sift.
The things that we once held so dear, ...
Amidst such an unimaginable tragedy
Unnoticed by the untrained eye,
Our beloved planet begins to die.
The hand we have dealt ourselves,
Will turn our heaven into hell itself,
If we don’t learn a better way,
To show care, in this game of life we play.
It’s time for a dramatic shift,
For our ways have clearly gone adrift;
We must act now, and make it swift,
Or through the ashes we will sift.
The things that we once held so dear, ...

Roots
Let me tell you a story
About Cheri, the tree and me
While it may seem like we are three
We are all just who we should be
One who colours with string
One who's quite intense
One who isn't always there
None who make any sense
She's got eyes like Monet
Hers are always far away
That one thrives in delay
And they all fall for grey.
We share the memories
Of whispers, wind and weeping
And when the days are far too long
You'll find us all sleeping.
About Cheri, the tree and me
While it may seem like we are three
We are all just who we should be

One who's quite intense

Hers are always far away
That one thrives in delay
And they all fall for grey.

Of whispers, wind and weeping
And when the days are far too long
You'll find us all sleeping.

Dancing in the Trees
Laying in the grass
Looking at the sky
You turn to me and say:
"Go run and hide!"
I jump quickly to my feet
I begin to run
"One, two, three...
Ready or not, here I come"!
Your voice fades with the setting sun
Sprinting through the fields
My feet barely touching the ground
I dive into a patch of grass
Patiently waiting to be found
Your voice is getting nearer
"Emily..."
I try not to make a sound
I burst into laughter
Knowing I've been found
"I've got you!"
And for a moment,
You hold me so tight ...

Autumn VII: Trifold
1.
Late autumn and winter
bring subtle charms
with Yuletide work—
such as crafting aphrodisiacal recipes
for holiday gifts and soirées
Plenty of rain, festooning
and burning of leaves
are a homecoming of sorts
—the bouquet signaling an end
to laborious harvesting—
before bedecking a new beginning
—we do what needs be done
while awaiting light’s return
2.
Rooted firmly in the forest
is but another laboring colony
—one predating humans—
deciduous Beings contemplating

Pulsing Pear Blushed
pruning pulpy pear
tactic tier's there
passion pasting prayers
fostering fallible fair
felon figs belched
contractions cobbling crest
whooshing wind yawned
tucking tainted flaws
owed to draws
then a coda
mystic melody murdered
concerto grosso clustered
pulsing pear blushed
leering lanky lust.
