poetry, a language?
is poetry a language?
perhaps,
maybe a mere vessel
a mystery,
to surely be puzzled.
or did Darcy miss speak
as he, "...considered poetry the food of love...."
or is it,
possibly divine providence from powers above.
innate upon itself
where does poetry fit?
language by definition...
look to the text book,
ah,
is poetry but a system?
grant me, for that, i may see.
instill within me
the judgement of this "ism" wisdom.
i ruminate ...

Once
the air gave purpose
I heard
from depths
wisps
cavern
of hands
entwined
where I belonged only
in that time and space
knowing
open surface
companion
compass
poetry
my truest love
djinns
of Jim
whisper
moth eyed
symbiote
guardian
divided

archer
whose amorous arching pen
curls curves into infinite ...

Poets are like butterflies
butterflies fluttering...
wings the color of salmon
landing on a grey stone wall
like graffiti they paint their life
painting the wall a shade of rose
she stands gazing...motionless
dressed in her gown of white
as her honey-blonde hair
draped over her shoulders
like a white orchid dancing
in the twilight...
blush of pink blossoms
upon her cheeks, honey on her lips
eagerly waiting to be kissed
as the water is poured by Aquarius
she tumbles into the high grass...

YMCA Holy Man
YMCA Holy Man
His TV blares resurrection blues
With phantoms of the YMCA opera
Words born of my naïveté:
“The suburbs are for the middle class.”
His removal of my anesthesia:
“Everything is for them.
You are doing some thinking on this old world.”
In his face the ghost of Frederick Douglas
An exorcist of cloudy propaganda
“Where would you want to be other than here?”
“In the mountains.”
On a morning like the last judgment
“Don’t you feel pleasure from anything?
Surely your bare feet on the...

Brass Menagerie
I give you complete truth neatly wrapped in the knowledge of partial understanding
Not thoughts hypnotically captured by the sparkle of breakable glass, but a strong acceptance and endurance
like polished brass
Matriculating in the school
of hopes and perceptions
I present to you brass tactics,
if you will,
your essentials existing amongst all your necessities, having no idea of
their origins likewise
Thriving on interactions and reflections, seeking to be noticed,
requiring to be shined ...

Well It’s Clear A Lot of Factions ...

Like These Cancel Gangs ...
Who Now ... OVERREACT ...
When Simple Facts ...
Don’t Agree With Their Stance ...
About Those Who Are Trans ...

And Just Won’t Change ... ...

What is
Eternal
alabaster
colorless
cologne
though unbroken
there is a skeleton
risen
sometimes I feel your breath
how the intent is carried
over
and
over
when our brain lays bare
we loose our skin only
we are mirth
silver fog
writes our names
whispered
earth
opens
alabaster
colorless
cologne
though unbroken
there is a skeleton
risen
sometimes I feel your breath
how the intent is carried
over
and

we loose our skin only
we are mirth

whispered

The Oracle
I went to the Oracle to ask for answers
She said, Damon, please remain a dreamer
Unbridled anger leads straight to destruction
Seek serene scenes and things for your elevation
If the equation doesn't equate to the desired sum
Have the strength to enact a change of the outcome
Sometimes you'll have to accept what you cannot change
You must discern with wisdom when to brandish fangs
When strange fruit was dangling in the Southern breeze
Your ancestors didn't bow down and live on their knees
You must seize the moment and...

space is not
letting go
transparent
clarity clearing
between two worlds
spiraled iris opens
loom spun life thread
where quartz clouds
weave floral pattern light
I am in the liminal time
fluidity
veined
vernissage
the liminal space
bears dead spoken tone
life given purpose
feral void
breeze
breathe
scriptures
poems
our poems
read us
just as
we
read them

Slither The Lather
Looking At The Dream Stream Of Time , Sublime
Rhyme Enacted As A Pact Divine , A Sign Inclined
Prose Entwined Non Maligned , Refined , Word Rebind ,
Creating An Interrelating , Multi - Equating , Web
Wit Ebb And Flow , So And Sew , Water You Know
About The Connect Of Dialect In Respect To Perplexed
Reality , Fatality Of The Brain , Entrained To Intake
And Partake The Rattlesnake , Coiled To Foil Hypertext
And Watt Be Next , Electricity , Or Simpler Simplicity ?
