Log On The Fire
..how I come to love the dark
perhaps it's the calmness
I sure ain't crazy
writing mostly
with my cat yawning
listening to the twilight burn
inside my mental cavities
but I can also feel fear
if there is not a log on the fire...
perhaps it's the calmness
I sure ain't crazy
writing mostly
with my cat yawning
listening to the twilight burn
inside my mental cavities
but I can also feel fear
if there is not a log on the fire...

Big Picture
grandiose visions!
connections! and synapses!
signals pinging! to & fro
images! flashing beauty
words tumbling! downstream
strokes of brilliance
on the tip of my tongue
this tangled-yarn
spaghetti-slippery
brain full of squirrels
wherein
everything relates
to everything else
critically important
(blessedly irrelevant)
the gestalt
is all so clear to me
and yet
impossible to convey
to you
connections! and synapses!
signals pinging! to & fro
images! flashing beauty
words tumbling! downstream
strokes of brilliance
on the tip of my tongue
this tangled-yarn
spaghetti-slippery
brain full of squirrels
wherein
everything relates
to everything else
critically important
(blessedly irrelevant)
the gestalt
is all so clear to me
and yet
impossible to convey
to you

Dream Quest
Dream Quest
My pilgrimage into deep forest green
over crest of hill into sunken monastery
I follow the circular path
where ascetic monks
greet my world weary soul
Gray bearded sages smile
under darkening sky
on shore of crystal stream
which rolls past rickety shacks
Spring water flows pure from rocky hillside
My heart feels the flow of happiness
yet my feet tread onward
The path to heaven before me
goddess sings to me of home
My pilgrimage into deep forest green
over crest of hill into sunken monastery
I follow the circular path
where ascetic monks
greet my world weary soul
Gray bearded sages smile
under darkening sky
on shore of crystal stream
which rolls past rickety shacks
Spring water flows pure from rocky hillside
My heart feels the flow of happiness
yet my feet tread onward
The path to heaven before me
goddess sings to me of home

Great years
Listening to the Mammas
And the Pappas
You gotta go where
You wanna go....
Back in the sixties.
Great years, great songs
realized how severely
I blew it
Or maybe not,
Careless as i was
And the Pappas
You gotta go where
You wanna go....
Back in the sixties.
Great years, great songs
realized how severely
I blew it
Or maybe not,
Careless as i was

Clock Struck Orange
The clock struck orange
roses for your hair
then struck two
of rhymes for you
fragrance adoring
with the vibes of she
a feast for my eyes
with a flicker of flea
before the hand of three
roses for your hair
then struck two
of rhymes for you
fragrance adoring
with the vibes of she
a feast for my eyes
with a flicker of flea

Deluded Fear
I feel the wings of faith
Wrap around me as I
Sift through intense
Memories of things I
Can't express through
The light of forgiveness
I watch tears of love
Fall from the clouds
As I drown in the words
Chosen through complicated
Feelings that emerged from
A volcanic situation
I try to enhance the winds
Of change in my heart through
My actions and inflate
The characteristics of a
Neon future driving the extra
Mile on cruise control while

The Manipulative Ocean
Your bubbly foam tides tickle my feet softly.
You wave so excitedly and even from afar I see a warm glowing star peek behind you.
You introduce me to unique gifts of nature.
Like stars I could never reach from the sky.
I stride through the tides warmed up by the sunset's golden beams.
Currents make me flow swiftly as if I have become your boat.
The diamonds embedded in the water twinkle to distract me of searching the shoreline.
I've gotten heavier.
I start to hyperventilate.
Poseidon's anchor drags my ankles.
I am deprived of control. ...

My shell
I enshroud myself
within a shell
a feeble shell
of strength
and carelessness
because I’m afraid
of a mighty fall
of losing all
the love I try
so hard to harness
within a shell
a feeble shell
of strength
and carelessness
because I’m afraid
of a mighty fall
of losing all
the love I try
so hard to harness
