two thousand lives
Two thousand lives I have ignored
The callings of my soul
Its whispers in my dreams
And heralds from beyond,
Enticing me to follow
The pathless path of inner worlds
Wishing to show me
Realms of the beginnings
My birthplace, my original face.
The callings of my soul
Its whispers in my dreams
And heralds from beyond,
Enticing me to follow
The pathless path of inner worlds
Wishing to show me
Realms of the beginnings
My birthplace, my original face.

Fruitful Spring
Last year the crab trees did not flower
They flower at their will or at nature's calling
,at times, tire their limbs
and take a biennial holiday.
I walked the wood today, swelling buds,
pink beneath the leaves greeted me
We shall have flowers this year!
I hope the bees take note, (I know they will )
pollinate the flowers to glory in the sun,
crab apple jelly this Christmas, butterflies
in July among buzzing bees and hover flies
tumbling green finch and blackbird
Hope's eternal promise ... ...
there will...

I Love
I love staring at a clear night sky for hours
I love to sit on my deck and paint the landscape
I love the smell of freshly cut grass and a campfire
I love to wander the forest by my house and take pictures from weird angles
I love to close my eyes and listen to the birds singing on a hot summer day
I love to read books while lounging in my bright orange bean bag chair
I love singing at the top of my lungs with music blasting from my speakers
I love chasing my dog all around the yard and tackling him

GEMINI
Being two people
Is an ongoing chore
Anxious and depressed
But never a bore!
Battling the demons
In my head
So many times
My mind has fled
My mind it crashed
And lost control
But it sure did help me
to find my soul
Time went by
And I have learned
Sometimes you can't repair
The bridges that have burned
I'm here for a reason
Just like you
Summer is my season
Sky blue
Born in May
So much to say
Gifted in ways
But there's always delays
Don't know what to...

Time went by

monday monday
I need a coffee to start up
Just a gallon not a cup,
Tape the eyelids to look awake
Going outside was a mistake,
Monday routine what a blow
Body moving mind in tow,
Crawling out climb in the car
On the street I left a scar,
Only comfort that I’ve got
Is to sit right on the spot,
Think of rhymes and of some praise
To satisfy my crush and craze,
And if you say I made you smile
You’ve made my day my head will spin.
Just a gallon not a cup,
Tape the eyelids to look awake
Going outside was a mistake,
Monday routine what a blow
Body moving mind in tow,
Crawling out climb in the car
On the street I left a scar,
Only comfort that I’ve got
Is to sit right on the spot,
Think of rhymes and of some praise
To satisfy my crush and craze,
And if you say I made you smile
You’ve made my day my head will spin.

Rain-kissed!
( a Quatern )
I hear the rain-kissed flowerbeds,
For many years were dry from drought.
I rush outside and weep instead,
And dance my bare feet all about!
To see the puddles form throughout,
I hear the rain-kissed flowerbeds.
I dream of blooms, I sing and shout,
To know rebirth is just ahead!
I shut my eyes, tilt back my head,
And feel the shower soak my hair.
I hear the rain-kissed flowerbeds,
Imagine, blossoms everywhere!
There isn’t time to waste, I think,
Back in the kitchen, seeds...
I hear the rain-kissed flowerbeds,

To know rebirth is just ahead!

'32 Ford Five Window
An old hulk sitting on barren land.
Many times it was sold and bought.
A '32 Ford Five Window,
now all rusted and left to rot.
At one time this old car was new.
At one time was washed every week.
At one time was waxed and shined.
Long before it became an antique.
Changed hands many times in its life.
The next buyer always proud of his find.
Each new owner it became more worn.
It's condition now in a state of decline.
A boy in grade school at his desk.
His young mind would start to wander.
A hot rod he saw...
Many times it was sold and bought.

SING
So life. ..
Confused yet so amused!
My advice. ..
Just be nice :)
Get real
Never steal
Say yes
Say no
Let it flow
Thou shalt not kill
Chill
Take a pill
Love or lust?
Turns to dust
Kiss
Pure bliss
But what will come of this?
Be nice
Give good advice
Think twice
Before you speak
Don't be weak
Or meek
Don't slack
And don't do crack!
Eat well
Look good
Go spend time in the woods
Peace and love
Rise above
Break rules ...

Eyes That See
A man should learn to detect and watch
that gleam of light which flashes across
his mind from within...
In every work of genius we recognize
our own rejected thoughts: They come back
to us with a certain alienated majesty.’
- Ralph Waldo Emerson, ‘Self Reliance’
I see what I am prepared to see
so I adjust my eyes to what confronts me:
To see a forest in an acorn I must be
prepared for such greatness,
I must hold such faith in my hands,
I must strive from within to believe in
such...

either...either
rituals and incantations
rhythmic chantings' warm sensations
mind to heart with feelings so pure
come to me, this is a lure
poetry of thought and feeling
conjuring and too appealing
to your subconscious, inside you
the one who wakes and daydreams too
imagining that we are sharing
all the secret things we're daring
expose before each other's eyes
each other's senses,the unseen ties
radiating through the ether
tickling, tingling, either, either
exciting me, exciting you
this is what these words can do ...

the canyon of You
