~? ~
Subtle whispers kiss your ears
as softness cushions all your fears,
With silky sighs which wane then cry
you know the night ends with,
Goodbye.

~1 Way~
I often skip through miss-steps,
Wondering how opinions get
twisted into truths.
I often trip through misfortunes,
struggling with reasons why
Bad things happen without
good reason.
I often remind myself,
Everyone has his or her own sense
of right and wrong,
Merging somewhere along the
lines of compromise.
I often fall as moments blur,
Grasping about blind
when lines no longer meet.
I often die knowing,
Life often ends
this way.

~2 Blind~
Love, like an ocean blue
flowing deep,
and free.
Tides rushing in and out
a love,
dear to me.
Time, let it all go
Riding waves,
through love's undertow.
Still burns my sun
Seething fires,
burnin' on the run.
Now, as an ocean blue
floods away,
from me.
Will tears, fade the fire
my love,
failed to see?

~2 nothing~
Passion lays dead beside me,
Nothing feels full to even make it
half enough.
I wait as seconds linger,
and shadows scrape me off
four walls.

~2 Tree~
Long the willow's weeping,
though the ground lay parched as stone,
And the roots that kept her grounded
have now left her all alone.
As the heart beats-back a memory
breaks her slowly from within,
Dies the tree I've seen so often
from the breeze that caved her in.

~2 U~
Seeing something more
because of finding you,
Looking past it all
seeing things anew...
Subtle in my blindness
yet you saw right through,
How idle in my vision
yet you always knew.

~2-C~
We see what we want to
and twist till it fits,
Justify and intensify
make a whole out of bits.
Anything that's thrown
will be grabbed-up therein,
As longing binds the soul
separating us within.

~365~
With heavy hand night lifts then lights
each star upon the sky,
And moon bestows waning reprieve
one day of life's gone by.
Within grip the passing year
holds each second tight,
Releasing only when in full
stroke of twelve, midnight.
Ticking down and winding out
to spread or spoil within,
Already seeds the coming days,
365 again.

~4 Nothing~
Holding out for nothing,
like nothing even cares...
When silence seems fulfilling,
truth is it strips me bare.
Wonder from a distance
I step within and try,
Filling up excuses
for reasons to the why.
Maybe it's a fever
which burns me in then out,
Realing from this fire
now fueling all my doubt.
Come and cool the places
which never see the light,
Darkness falls too quickly
and pools inside as spite.
Wash away the hurt now
as longing drowns me through,
Words won't ease this feeling,
and neither now could you.

~4 Now~
I rest
inclined to recline,
To close
every thought
lying open.
I need
but don't want,
solitude
forever....
I just
want
nothing,
For now.

~A Bunch of Randomness~
There is only one thing I am certain of....
Change.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Faithful are actions
But never,
are words.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Consciousness, what is that really?
Moments awake and aware?
Being aware we're aware?
What are we when not;
unaware, asleep, semi-conscious....
Are we less or more alive at those
inbetween moments just before waking?
For in moments dreams drift,
and are we not riding those moments
Fully aware we're dreaming?

~A Love~
As sun will pierce, the white of snow will melt,
Though winter slain the green of blades to brown.
Can love endure without a chilling welt?
To warm within and melt all ice surround.
Begin the day with broken hearted grin,
To touch the diamond snow with barren hand.
Unknown to frost, you bare and burn within,
A grasp withdrawn as quick as snow now lands.
How icey cold a love can turn from hot.
To give a voice unto a heart unspoke.
Winds blowing back a dream that time forgot.
Under the snow a love now lies awoke.
Arise to green and warm a heart once cold.
Before all eyes my love for you unfolds.

~A Word~
Ride these words
how they carry me
To places I yearn,
But won't ever be.
Mark these words
will they remind you
Of feelings you have
But try to subdue?
Count the days
as they pass on,
Some sparkling with glee
....some sparingly flee.
Live for me
longing for you,
Two never be
A word called, we.

~After All~
The sun is down and skies are blue
crying down on nameless few,
Sparse are words that fail to say
too little late now gone away.
As darkness holds the hopeful shine
pulling onward throughout time,
Inside their flame pales ever-so
and drifting out their souls now go.
Unto lands to run from not
finding all they never got.

~Again~
When the morning aches
with the break of dawn,
And dew lays frozen
on the back yard lawn,
The birds are calling
but there's no one home,
Clear skies are waiting
for our eyes to roam,
Stepping forward or
heading back,
Today's recalling
as the night retracts.
Distant feelings are
creeping near,
Warm winds blowing on
the window clear...
A season ends
as another begins,
Reasons repeating
to love again.

~Ambiguous~
Now lost all meaning,
blinded by over-reasoning...
I faulter far, by sealing in.
Pulled out all the stop signs,
fell into words without rhymes...
Now just a prisoner to a page.
Saddness and disappointment follow,
trying to fill what's hollow...
Never felt quite this low.
Don't try to fix what's broken,
I'm tired and words are tokens,
nothing's real here...I should know.

~An Observation of Opinion~
A legend in your own mind,
same old cliche time after time.
Of coarse you deney it,
while I watch you ride
the wave of denial again...
Go drown within the anguish
of bad dreams and bad karma.
Choke on salt backlicking
your self inflicted reigns,
Filling your mind with a smokescreen
of mistaken identity....
If you are the latest genius
to grace and embrace us
with insight beyond our nose,
Then please let me know before you go,
I then might wipe clean the residue
of arrogance abound.
Vanity shows no mercy
as the vividness of it bleeds
through any words that covet.
And so I seal the wounds of you
to never reopen again.

~Another~
Slippin' down the side-way
my essence somewhat gone,
Pealing back the sunrays
shinin' past what went wrong.
Every good tune has a sad side
through the calm sings heartache's song,
And when I'm down just crawlin'
another night carries me along.

~Apple of My I~
Breathing, feeling, flowing too
Your love, a river rushing through...
Inside out and all around,
your spirit never touching ground.
Into your heart an apple's core,
The seed grown blackest, deepest sore.
Unto the Earth I'm spreading thin,
Upon my soil your root gives in.

~Arid~ 2 versions
Wear me thin...Look upon, then within.
Your pretense means nothing,
As we all face Time's hand
standing at an arm's length from his grasp.
Silence pulls me close,
telling what you never will.
I came like flooding waters
to only leave dry as bone.
Nothing can explain this hovering notion,
other than I'm farthest step from delusion
And the closest to an illusion
of what love should be.
Like a stream changing direction,
cutting a path toward new reflection
As I'm not one to drown in silence,
or gaze unto eyes too blind to see.

version 2 below
Wearing me thin...
Look upon, then within
Pretense means nothing,
as we face time's hand
Standing but an arm's length
from his grasp.
Silence pulls me close
telling what he never will,
Whispers with hovering notion
as streams change direction,
divulging each reflection.
Not one gazing silently
escapes time's shallow pool,
The current's are set
as each day drowns slow.

~Aurora B.~
Sun at night,
shine...
Flaring rays
lighting round your aura,
Scraping skies in twisting carousels
of soaring rainbows contorted...
Turn me to dawn.

~Autumn Last Remembered~
See this burning season
glowing all around,
With tints of fallen yesterdays
a'pile upon the ground.
Grown cold from last remembered
Summer dies without a sound...
Show a hint of evening
sets a paler shade of light,
Slowly ever-fading into deepest night.
All golden, cool surrounding
and flush with crimson tides,
Swelled in full aroma
as fall alas now rides.

~Bad Hair Day~
As the blues fade to red
this burning sky of dreams is bled,
Down below a river flows
racing currents never slow,
Some days lay drownin' way below...
Gotta breeze at my back
willow tree's been keepin' track,
Bowing her branch to and frow
soaring hopes now sailing low,
Maybe hopin's just not enough.
I'm a fire that won't burn
My mind a wheel that won't turn,
I long to stand and still I fall
worn and weak, tired of it all
Some days all of up is down.

~Barnacle~
This calming river, a surface like glass
where deeper below emotions surpass
in longing for something more...
Looking down the narrow way
as I pull back on my sails,
I sense my soul is stiring
and growing somewhat pale.
This restlessness and cowardice
to want but never venture out,
Keeps me drifting in shallow waters
drowning in pools of doubt.
Those harbored souls seem skeletal now
as I pass slowly through,
Just like me they sailed within
Their stay long overdue.
Sinnaminsun Sinnaminsun

~Become the Day~
Broken rainbows bend black and blue
as tattered tears now drown you through,
While Heaven's heartache spills the skies
flooding an ocean in your eyes.
Will a memory claim your day
when fading questions fail to say?
Releasing prisons you've cast inside
and sealed-off fears now come alive.
Save the swan's-song for birds of prey
Ride your rainbow through every day.

~Become~
You won't,
but still
Maybe,
you will
There is,
a way
Come down,
and stay
I will,
convey
My wish
today
Please say,
one word
I hope,
you heard
We could,
ignite
Become,
one light.

~Before~
I fell too much
and flew too little,
Now hopes deplete
and wings turn brittle.
Hatred consumed
in times of pain,
Filling a void
where darkness remains.
A smile once shown,
before the frown you see.
A love once lived,
before it died in me.

~Between a Rock & Something Else~
Though eyes fail to water, cactus dry not they be,
for between apart and letting go,
there lies a state called 'in limbo'.
Claw's at hand, splinter's inside
brings annoying pain,
The subtleness of feeling numb,
escapes words to explain.....
Go zombie-like from room to room
in passing idle time,
Pitty to waste a life that's given,
unless that life is mine.

~Beyond This~
Beyond the pale green of blades now spent,
Within the memory of what was
I ask, 'What will be? '
My eyes see just far enough to blur any hope.
Thinking back when days didn't matter
and time ran with me,
I smile, knowing the essence of everything was new and good.
Now thoughts circle around the next day's passing,
Dragging me into another like a broken wheel
struggling to turn.
How long before I fall like that leaf I saw just yesterday,
Or stop, like a clock whose hands once held hope high.

~Bird~
I hold you, while you tremble from just being,
Into my palm burrowing deeper
seeing only down amongst white.
I wonder if you will ever fly again,
as your will has been broken
and the sky has been cruel.
I think tomorrow we'll try again,
maybe the sky will open its heart
and let you fly through.

~Blackout~
This paling night,
faint of wind and song
Harness my moon over.
Heed the ground
absent of all shadow and light,
Laying barren under
a steely sky in June.
Appears, your whispered rush
Alighting...igniting me now.
Curving contentment moves,
Bringing your warm release
of day.

~Blind & Deaf~
How I try,
how I fail.
How you miss,
to no avail.
Look right here,
the answer's plain.
Can't you hear
me scream your name?

Feeling violet running through,
Become the flower

~Blown Back~
Winds blow back my desire,
Layin' low as the flame grows higher,
Here your words rush-in and stay
Leaving light through shadowed play.
Like a circle, you never end
I'm spinning fast amidst all amends,
With this rush of your memory
I'm bounded by what you'll never be.
Once a field of red turns black
Lies barren, though one thing's intact,
The flowers fade like love...And you
Yet hope remains vivid in view.
From lifeless-love lives my dream
Awakens truth in what love means,
Let burn the flame and shadows crawl
Alive inside, love's lighting all.

~Blunt~
No sharpened edge justly points
to vantage me beyond,
And as I gaze unto the sun,
these searing tears will run...
Such lofty hopes fall stories down
watch locust gather round,
Eat within these swollen words
till echos make no sound.
From sullen husks no shadow's cast
beneath this sunburnt sky,
As my pine's bereaved of needle
your whisper tells not why.
With hollowed tunes no song will sing
although it hums quite clear,
So listen in this silence
for the falling of my tears.
Find my shadow casting long
stretched onto blackened miles,
Tell me when you've found your way
past love and all its wiles.

~Bound~
Love...boundless they say,
Yet I find its limits
Every
single
day.
I feel it
when the sun sets,
I see it
in your eyes...
And mine.
I sense it
at moments surreal,
Holding to
imitations,
Escaping
realizations
Binding
from
within.
Love,
boundless they say...
To this,
I'm
bound.

Like the sun on a hazy day,
But burning within her center
Vivid the flames that burn

~Brand~
What lights as sun settles...
Rays mutating round
blistered, flickering eyes,
A'glimpse at day now gone.
What shows while memories fill,
stiring up and dragging out
what once lay forgotten.
How night recalls,
and forever brands
Along stretching expanses,
Of thought.

~Branded~
Rays splinter round
as this blistered, flickering eye
Escapes neath the horizon
of a day now gone.

How the night recalls
Forever branding
along stretching expanses
Of thought.

~Break (2 versions) ~
I wanna break
from any pull,
Snapping free
from all
enclosures...
To drift
into nothing specific,
And glide on
a free-fall,
to wherever.

~Broken Wing~
How low you fly through hushed breezes,
a'falter as whispers ground you...
Fade within your shadow,
hide amongst the dark of light.
Between each heartbeat, do you break a little?
Seeing you huddled, feeling your pain,
if only I could ease it away.
With summer on my heels, its burn now blisters.
I'll meet you again come fall
when the shadows no longer shield you,
and together, we'll fly again.

~Broken~
As the fevered lowlands quake
and the dream forgoes its wake,
Hope holds weary hearts up high
become one within the sky.
Will the rivers wash away
bitter taste of yesterdays?
Can the wind whisper the key
easing all this misery...
While the sunset fades from view
will the night forsake the few,
Who will live to see the dawn
as the broken souls move on.

~Burnt Revisited~
So much stronger,
piercing through and in...
Deeper no longer sensing
as I feel it all begin.
Chared memories of yesterday
linger on the winds,
Carry these ashes higher
as we always show our sins.
Roots grow ever-deeper
but weaken from their way through,
Grasping onto nothing
still nothing will have to do.
My soul's among the many
as dead as dead can be,
Under this opened sky
no tears will fall from me.
Entrail all shortcomings
behind a false half-smile,
I leave behind my rainbow
which fades in no short while.

~Burnt~
~Burnt~
Stepped away chard
Yet a chill took ahold...
Singed by a flame
from a soul burning cold.
For a while lay and wait
for one spark to show,
When time turns upon you,
you'll learn what I know...
When grasping at nothing
it's best to let go.
Silence is soothing
but sometimes it sears,
Burnt by its essence,
compiling by years.
A lifetime of twilight
still shadows the scene,
As highlights fade lower
you fall inbetween,
Surrender seems easy...
Do you know what I mean?
As daybreak comes splintering
so does its fire,
Now dawning reburning,
all day to conspire.
And night's swaying easy
on the edge of my sigh,
With fever now fueling
love's flame toward the sky,
While sorrows unending
remind me of why.

~Cage~
Worry hangs wet
Dripping deep,
Grows roots around
My soul.
Time eases not
Surpassing seconds,
Ticks unending
This affliction.
Escapes but never free
Like a cage,
Within a cage
My life.

~Caged~
I thought I would
but I didn't,
If I could
still I wouldn't,
Thinking twice
and I shouldn't.
Subtle signs
were always there,
Showing plain
but unaware,
Of the view
I'd never see,
While these words
keep mocking me,
Play it safe
but never free.

~California Daze~
Death's fueling flames
scraping skies above,
Burn the lands
from a spark that scars,
Lit by hands that hold all blame...
California daze,
wildfire maze,
Cuts the valley
now bleeding black,
No life rises from this haze.
Loss takes the wind,
and blows me away.
Travel fast on its breeze
releasing what words could never say.
'From the fire the lands will claim,
as hollowed ground still stands the same.
And from the dust life's seed will show,
spreading a field of hope that grows.'
Though the ash
now covers all,
Life rebounds
when nature calls.

~Callous 1~
Void in entirety,
Masked intent...unworthy
Hidden yet shown
by marked callousness.
Complete detachment
is control
Stumbling,
grasping hold,
of
nothing...
For control comes first
as care,
Releasing while stripping
bare.

~Callous~
I know the feel of damp mornings and cold sundaes
dripping down into
It doesn't matter anymore...
I've seen its dragging presence
holding back tomorrow,
while struggling through today.
I recall the sun's shine
shown the same as any day before it,
Just as round and bright as when I last heard
'Look away.'
How many times have I
looked away,
Walked on by
said nothing
Until, it didn't matter any more.

~Cancer~
When thirty one days seem to pass
with the moon through the sky,
And the sun lays grounded by fear
too weary of light,
As stars circle over, I wonder
if I've been away...
When thirty one seemingly fades
through the course of a day.
Feeling so much older, and time never softens
the view.
As days chase the hours, seconds skip a minute
or two.
The moon ever-waning
glides even farther away,
As I look upon me I wonder why
I even say....
'Seems so much different, yet I am forever
the same.'
The moon is my ruler
And I, just a pawn in time's game.

~Carry~
Truth's not always freeing
while its stiring from within,
Time's not always fleeting
when it's dragging with a grin.
Struck within a flame
and holding from afar,
Dangling on the edge
as love becomes one's scar.
When did the skies
turn a paler blue,
Was it when love's light
faded from my view?
Don't have the words
for what I need to say,
Just grown tired of rules
for games I never play.
Will my flame burn on
and never once go out,
As the tears now fall
I drown in pools of doubt...
Keep holding strong
through coming days,
Still deep inside
sorrow seems to play.
Live in the moment
move within its sway,
Go with the notion
love will show some day.
Heartache like a fever's
got to break before it's gone,
And faith like a river
is gonna carry me along.

~Catch Cold~
All snowey boughs
arch their way through,
Bending ever-pleading
as often bowers do.
Their calling heard too soon
nor quickly will subdue,
A'drifting in all white,
spreading outward and toward you.
Now is never late
budding hopes upon the pine,
Upon winter's sigh
Jack Frost has left his sign.
Wrap winds which blow too cold
seals winter's bitter hold,
I bury now within,
not coming out again.

~Changing~
The eyes dance in the lighted hour
as ears will open wide,
The laugh, a hollowed lengthy shrill
awakens all this night.
A harvest moon is meekly peeking
behind her curtained wall,
With hairs on end, slowing changing....
the beast becomes us all.
Smells of midnight pine consume
more so than tempid flowers,
So, so soon the moon will call
bestowing all her powers.
To see into the deepest night,
to run with speed devoid of fright,
To howl unto the star filled skies
and keep them scared until sunrise.

~Child~
Are you a child with tantrum cries,
red faced and fist clenched?
Are you unable to wait your turn,
and tune out all replies?
You stomp and rage, and throw about
whatever which is near.
Unable to consider that
you were the one unclear.
Into your age I see a number,
much higher than your words warrant.
Arrogance is bliss, for one who will dismiss
All, in their torment.

~Circle~
Don't ask me if I love you
cause you might not like the truth,
So I'll lie to you a little
and come off as just aloof.
Love is like a circle
two can't always make it round...
But I'll kindly meet you halfway
reaching out as love rebounds.
Don't speak to me of soul-matched tales
that endless love proudly prevails,
For Love not always a circle makes
a match not even good will could shake,
And in a heart all truth forsakes,
as roundness of love's circle breaks.

~City~ 3 versions
I've been there...
Where the streets buzz with yellow hornets,
hunting and devouring willing ants.
I've been to the top of two mountains,
now slain by a monster... Invisible, until destruction shown
its ugly, cowardice face.
I remember seeing a black, young man
in a black, tattered garbage bag.
...in a garbage bag, And under that, nothing.
I still see him in passing dreams...Collapsing, on the streets
of Manhattan.

Upon the face of a young black man
enclothed in a tattered-black garbage bag
...a garbage bag,
I still see him in passing dreams
Collapsing on the streets
of Manhattan.

3rd version...hopefully the last one
I've been there...
Where street-buzzing hornets
devour willing ants,
I've been a'top two mountains
now slain by a monster
I never saw lurking.
I've seen death crawling
upon a young black man,
enclothed in nothing but a garbage bag
...a garbage bag
I still see him in passing dreams,
Collapsing on the streets
of Manhattan.

~Click~
Look and know,
there will be no revision,
No incision to fake or make.
I cut free long before
the grasp of anything,
held too tight.
Surprise whispers success,
as redemption often
sounds late...
Stay blind and deaf
from the coming and going
of onlookers obsessing or just
passing time.
Go stroll through worm holes,
gather who and what
you think is there.
Get lost in the vastness of vanity
where poster-pasted halls
glitter false pretenses.
Find your soul amidst do-gooders,
or bury it with one click
of a mouse.

~Climber~
Plant a seed of want,
grows the tree of need,
Climb high upon its limbs
gaze around but do you see?
Is your forest hidden
lost within the wood,
Going upward toward the blue
but is higher always good?
So your climb goes on
above the skies turn gray,
Winds wrapping round this cage
shaking not your need to stay.
And the storm lies waiting
with a circle and shake,
Rise above to see the sight
but below a bow now breaks.
Hear the bending tremble
feel your fears arise,
Showing up to greet you
comes the ground you've patronized.
Above the view lies waiting
from below you lie,
Grounded by your need to climb
when all you had to do was to fly.

So close I am
to silence that raspy door...
It's gnawing persistence
only rivaled by my intent.
So sure I am

And whittle away what's left

~Cocooned~
Coldly now the winds
of February blow,
Chilling false facades
of early springtime glow.
Arriving never late
its mildness often peeks,
Only to succumb
by winter's smite complete.
Apple green they glace
within their frozen shell,
Springtime buds await
cocooned in icy hell.

I morphed into a golden chain,
which hung around his neck.
Into the night, he took a walk
with me along the deck.
The waves grew fierce,
below the wood, still holding underneath.
The chain did break, I fell between,
the water cold and bleek.
Now my home, a floor of sand
crumbles at my feet.
These waves of time, have washed away,
true love never to find.

~Color~
Love's a color mine is blue
choose a color how about you?
When the paler shades go down
then you know I'll come around,
As the colors mix into
a swell of rainbows less the blue,
There you'll find me
pull me through...
Love's a color
and now yellow,
Bright and bold
not ever mellow,
Happy going in between
spilling into every seam.
Love's a color and now red
feelings deepen nothing's said,
When the red is burning through
pull me out and into you.
Passion holding tighter still
warmer tones in overkill,
how a color can fulfill.

Lies restless waiting,

Do feelings fall as an afterthought,
leaving you a choice of what

Fear doesn't faze,
guiding you blind on whatever road
you take.
Do you reach yet not hold,
rather liking the nothingness
you possess?
For if not
I have something for you,
Something that comes when you don't want it
And sometimes,
when you do.

I'll bring you my poison on a silver platter
served up hot or cold,
as either extreme suits well my emotions.
Take your pick...hatred, bitterness, distrust
jealousy, rage,
I'll bring them all if you so wish.
Watch me coil in angst
while shadows fade toward the lighter fluff.....
Those paling, washed out calms
and placid laid back yawns,
Rolling unblinking eyes back
so that shadows fill where green once glared.
But even so,
what runs deep always surfaces.
Come step within these hollows,
See what I see
Feel what I feel,
Know every pulse beats full
as venom beats black this heart,
And floods every inch
of me.

Would one look drown-out

I turn my eyes astray,
Pretending not to notice
Love has turned away.

all aqua-deep your center glows,
A spectrum piercing into night

Tendrils yellow, rust and green

A neutron pulse guiding me in
a world of life derived at end.
Taurus bound you in his sky,

In pulsar winds that wrap you tight
you claw within this blackened night.
And from a telescopic view,
I find my way always toward you.

Riding this highway, no twisty turns or hikers waiting to hitch...
just a pretty, short stretch of not much going nowhere fast.
How he'd hate this drive, with regurgitated roadsigns
packed full of overused descriptives and verbs guiding through 'Monotony Way'.
I wish I could drive like him, picking up our souls' crusty edge
and weaving through the dark and light of everyday life.
No fear, as he ventures onward without a seatbelt
or his door locked...But I'm not that kind of driver,
don't have it in me I guess.
So, I safely drive where I've always been as he speeds by,
taking the nearest exit and downing another whiskey,
six feet under.

A river deep runs full
within....
Its tumbled soul worn very
thin.
Once wayward streams
merged into one,
Swelled to this but is this
done?
A river always flows down-way,
No matter how the answers
sway.
Pooling in the morning sun,
lie tears you swore would never
run....
And is it wrong to let it out,
All fury damned without a
doubt.
Building up these waters rise,
To overtake your wanton
eyes.
This flooding comes to rescue
You,
Clears you out and steers you
through.
Your river deep runs full
within....
So let it out and live
again.

While lapses of autumn glow.

~Dance of Colors~
Colors separating as they
fan across the skies,
A dance of misted prisms
cast within all sleeping eyes.
Drifting ever-closer
to encapsulate our dreams,
The vibrance of these rainbows
dance upon untussled seams.
On borrowed breath and shallow heart
awaken into night,
An iris of all colors growing
just within our sight.
Stepping ever-close the colors
grow within this sphere,
To gather in all daydreams
and erase all darkness near.
And as we look upon that place
all multiple in hue,
We find ourselves a different way
and see ourselves anew.

~Daze of Summer~ 2 versions
Summer time now covers round,
fills complete as it bounds.
Sun burnt skies are spreading wide,
warming winds of July.
Take my season and stretch it long,
too quickly past before it's gone.
Its greenness curls around each bend,
soon autumn frosts will kiss again.
This morning wakes the sky today,
to warm upon my valley way.
And light within as sunshine grows,
while flowers stretch on petaled toes.
Holding a sky so blue in tone,
as free as clouds my spirit roams.
Over land and sea I fly,
adrift as summer days skips by.

How do you dropp the ball of life....
Do you roll
easing off from palm to tip,
Smoothly caressing
while carelessly gliding away?
Do you smash with might
breaking loud and distinct,
Emotions conveyed with precise stomps
toward anywhere, but here?
How do you hold a love of life.....
Do you embrace full-hearted
giving all, even when
it's not enough for a love
to love you?
Do you grasp half-hearted
blinded and binded
by your own explanations
and excuses?
How do you move within this life.....
Do you run with abandon
or crawl in despair,
When life fails
to walk with you?
Do you bounce or bail
in moments sad or unpleasant,
Finding or loosing yourself
therein.....
How do you,
Do you?

Look into the eyes of the dragon
where circling fires burn deep and through,
Breathe in his down-casted flame
while he lingers his way over you.
Step into the heart of the dragon
beating fires burn complete and true,
Take-in all earthly desires
while his grasp grows tight around you.
Stirrings arrise as all fear subsides
slipping into his dreams of mist,
Desires are growing but love is knowing
that lust might be your only risk.
Chillings arise, his fires touch skies
stepping out from the dragon's dark lair,
His flame's burning cold, singeing as it holds
Fleeting passion...now nothing remains.

~Dream Catchers~
Just before the dawn peeks through
there flies a bird called Midnight Blew,
Sings of love, spreading her wings
casting astray what worries bring.
She carries dreams of me and you
to heights where gilded angels flew,
Drifting away, going beyond
what limits life or songs have sung.
On wing or limb, on land or sky
no soul is caged, eclipsed or tied.
Let freedom shower in our dreams
and drown amongst realities...
Soon to wake the morning shows
this bird of night grants dreams for those,
To catch each quick before the dawn
and live our dreams before they're gone.

What if 's never clear the way

And to the ones who make it through
failing to question yet dreams came true,
Alive in wonder, not wondering why
assured and freed their dreams to fly.
Within the starlight beyond our moon
where dreamers' dream and wonders loom,
The spiraled dance of both combine
as moonbeams cast down to remind....
When dreamers drift too far away
they glide back down this silver way,
Awake and make their dreams come true,
a wonder which awaits for you.

While dreams are up for waking

Night towers long, encapsuling

Entombed inside, seems barren-like
a pyre burning cold.
Now bring to me your weakness
and I will listen long,
Pretending you are grieving
but all the while grow strong.

whilst you cry a cunning tear,
Then wipe you dry with laughter
as I defeat my fear.

She shines the morning
On gilded beams of light,
He casts our shadows...
The dusk of every night.
Living within darkness
Out-stretching far and wide,
Remorseless of his shadow
He seeks to never light.
Far and steep the mountains
He crawls amongst the woods,
Beware when things are stirring
Around and under foot.
When it seems convenient
Look over shoulder, there...
See your shadow moving
And drifting not sure where?
No one knows the essence
Of dusk as he reclines,
Leaping at the moment
Night becomes his prize.

As lovely rose will flood in red all flush,

Ah, quiet night to rustle crimson's blush,
A hand to grasp yet softly hold demure.
To search in valley rich with reddened tides,
For one to keep yet free within your hold.
By love's entrapment thorns do pierce your hide,
And love's resentment tears for love now cold.
When morning calls and lights upon, all wake,
A hidden loss has shadowed you in spite.
Upon this day a rose no man can make,
A blazing red now paling weak by morn.
As stem does lead to rose now spent and gone,
No willfullness could flower love along...

On frosted lips this kiss preludes the freeze,
As wanton dreams sink swollen hopes

Upon this golden ice that longs to melt
in sunlight's gleam,
It seems I will forgo the wish that cast you in my dreams.
Through the seasons this wish did lie
like a seed under the snow,
And all the while you walked upon as each new day did show.
On ice, on green, through muddied field
no land would slow your stride,
In barren space you found no trace, but my star therein did lie.
So bring your ashy snow in fall, take autumn full away
As wrestling leaves come stirring in
my dreams that never wake.
On fiery sparks that dance and lift beyond this full moon night,
I fly between my want and need
to burn within your sight.

Entwined but hardly knotted unto

As moss gathers upon the bone,

All hope dims
merging dark within light,
Will the moon quake
as night casts my way?
How faint stars pale
when sacred dreams falter,
I wake wondering...
Do you imitate the feeling
when the essence of
escapes what you desire?
Do you release into nothing
feeling full within it's falseness?
What meaning does your emptiness carry
while its load bares farther down?
Does it trap you in familiar corners
as loneliness creeps near?
Does it crush with escaping breath
waking you winded in early hours?
Does it fill complete, then deplete
and in every way defeat you
Like the emptiness
I've known so well?

Can it fill a heart empty
as an egg broken in two?
Crushed velvet upon satin
amidst the sheered vallance wide
Trailing by a shadow,

Love's spark therein burns

guiding through valleys where wildflowers sway.
Sweetly the wind blows of jasmine divine,
guiding you closer forever be mine..
Walk past the oak tree that curls up her leaves,
turn by the scarecrow whose crows never leave.
Deep in a meadow grows lilac-lace fans,
there in between them I'll lay where I stand.
Forgo the hours that pass travels through,
holds to a passion exceeds what we knew.
Rest not as moments are fleeting from night,
rush-in your presence and take-in delight.
Hours fall between a wish and a dream,
While the essence of twilight drifts on moonbeams.

~Euterpe's Night~
Tonight Euterpe hangs from sinews long
tethered by need,
Her longing intense
as the sun bleeds into cold dark.
Swinging she goes
back and forth like an anxious pendulum,
Her remedy lacks company to cease her sway
dead center.
His fluted song's heard never too late
as he plays her again and again,
to the beat of a night star's burn.
His stain of reproach runs deep
stinging her memory eternal,
keeping her pendulous form asway...
How sad it is, so laden yet so bare
vanquished by ache and mire,
Her soul taken by pure desire.

~Even ~
From distance far
their cries fade familiar,
Waking memories unfulfilled.
These lands,
those souls,
Overtaken easily
By something swift,
dishonest,
callous to care,
But effective in getting
what it wants,
And pushing out
what it doesn't.
Signals cut the skies,
hawks part ways
meeting far from here.
I feel pain,
bleeding in each beat,
I see shadows crawl
on wounded knees...
From distance far
all cries sound familiar,
Bringing memories unfulfilled.
We've all been
broken...Yet,
that may never make us
even.

~Faded~
Memories fall toward the feet
of faded souls.
No words could explain
But your way
told it all...
How stark your silence crept
within the emptiness
of
each footstep.
How wide your reach,
Yet grasping nothing
While everything just fell
at your feet.

~Fall unto Me~
On this autumn harvest night
wherein a moon burns orangey bright,
While embers light the darkened skies
and falling leaves wave last goodbyes,
Here now I curl and await
as autumn's chill soon over-takes.
Whispers the tale of fallen friends
of fields once green ambered again,
Lay hypnotized in earth-tone light
fall unto me with grace and might,
This cooling field fades yesterday
as summer's breeze has blown away.

~Fallen Arrow~
Arrow rides the wind
whisping doubt astray,
Subtle is the breeze
blowing me away.
Still my restless soul
lie here for a while,
Fall within this heart
and grace me with a smile.
Cupid's aim is sharp
splitting deepest dark,
Feel our pulses rise
love has hit its mark.
Hearts never grow cold
though winter's frost will play,
Keep warm within my love
forever is today.
Feelings have grown strong
love's pull's been dragging long,
Lifting all my days
hold in dreamy sways.
And love tried and true
burns of deepest blue,
Yet quickly it may fade
as the paling now of you.

Upon this morning clear and crisp
leaves now fall from willow whisp,
Onto autumn's unleafy lair

Without will and within time

Cover far and cover quick
Like golden tolkens, nature's trick.

~Falling Back~
Feelings come and go like a rainstorm,
flooding fast and haunting long.
Triggering quick as the lightening,
now igniting what you thought was gone.....
Fields burn the name, A keepsake
so the spirit hovering low,
Sees the one who hopes, But still
do old fires die and never grow?
Will the wind recall passion rides,
but sometimes faulters near its end.
Falling back toward the days blown back,
and now reliving what's pretend.
See the spirit a'rising,
and upward gazing you are now.
Watch the clouds consuming,
as darkness falls upon your brow.
Knowin' the spark's kept kindled
watch its fingers span the skies,
Now from above and rumbling
burns the flame that won't subside.
A'drown in tidaled feelings
rush their presence all around,
Take it deep and diving
Within your lost-love never found.

Now the skies
fall to the ground,
Spreading wide
without a sound.
As the sun

Watching as blue

Consuming souls
nearing all highs.
Fly me over
and just past gone,
I'll dive right in
and rise beyond.

~Falling Star~2 versions
In the shadows dance the questions
in their midst all answers rise,
With each day appears the glimmer
sailing through all truth and lies.
With each night all darkness covets
daylight bids a soft goodbye,
And night's blanket spreading quickly
closing windows to the eyes.
But in dreams all windows open
setting free from night's reprise,
Calling out to stars above
with wishes long on hopeful tries.
Appearing in the starlight swirling
shows a shooting star's last cry,
Bids farewell to night around her
burned her best, now time to die.
Spirals down truth trails behind her
falls the wisher's dream divine,
Catch it careful, to be granted
need a peaceful heart and mind.

In our shadows dance the questions
Within our dark answers arise,
With each day appears the glimmer
Shining through all truth and lies.
With each night all darkness covets
Daylight bids a soft goodbye,
And night's blanket covers quickly
Closing windows to our eyes.
But in dreams all windows open
setting free from night's reprise,
Calling out to stars above
with wishes long on hopeful tries.
Appearing in the starlight swirling
Hear a shooting star's last cry,
Bids farewell to night around her
Burned her best, now time to die.
Spirals down, truth trails behind her
Falls the wisher's dream divine,
Catch it careful, to be granted

~Falling Stars~
Flaring like the fires of the sun
knighted stars strung high now come undone,
Wishes once held silent whisper near,
waiting for their wishers to appear.
Gazing ever-up as stars look down,
falling seems misleading from the ground.
Cover or to catch what should I do,
wishes sought might ease or blister through.
Lighting up the night their sparks arise,
searing in and lifting land to skies.
A wish is free but granted has its price,
when getting fails to fill and won't suffice.
Burning with a need to have far more,
as greed now fills within an empty core.

Trying to see into a mirror
from which no reflection's cast,
Who now stands behind this curtain
of smoky double glass?
Gaze within the eyes our soul
as everyone will say,
Careful for the soul lies deep
and you glanced away...
Seeing what you think you saw
but did you really see?
All essence of my being's
locked within a fantasy.

Past the hills and through the trees,
where the skies meet the seas
Is a place of beauty and ease.
You will find time resides
within chrysalistic shrines,
And the sound which you hear
growing clearer as you near,
Sings of happiness waiting
for You.
Feathered breezes lift your soul
tethered worries releasing hold,
You know now that you've found peace.

~Feathered Fall~
The distance never shows
until you hit the ground,
The answer's never heard
when questions always sound.
Love never lasts
when a heart's pumping cold,
Sealed off and beating by
a self restrictive hold.
Preaching but not heeding
as words are tossed about,
They're piling up to measure
the depth of your copouts.
Time's taking time
precious seconds tick today,
Counting down to nothing
by one's choice to waste away.

~February's Fire~
Wrestling wet on winter's heel,
Running from a shifty stemming soul
Scraping skies with white-lustered frenzy...
The discontentment isn't bound by
Showers in spring,
Torrents of summer
or the burning-brisk of autumn.
Winter's smite won't deter
your wrath through tumbling skies.
Seek my attention
as you always have,
And I, as many before
Am so unable
To ignore.

~Fever~
Gazing from a distance
views grow dimmer still,
Longing for a moment
as need completely fills.
How can one subdue
that which never does,
Love hardly falters
as it hovers way above.
Come down and wonder
with me for a while
Ponder at the notion,
is love always worthwhile?
Forever nights will darken
as sure as suns will shine
As is love's burning fever,
forever it will climb.

An edge comes too pointed
at the throat unexpected.
Too chiseled are words
fracturing, hollowing out any life within.
In death shall we know truth
for everything in life
is but a heartbeat away
from nonexistance.
And I see bitterness surrounding,
hatred consuming
pulling
pushing
raping
killing...
Still I believe,
and I won't blame you
Cause I seek light to guide me,
when nothing else
can...

Part your ways so that I may see truth
hiding beneath the surface you covet,
Doing your best to shelter any weakness
concealing all breaks upon a granite facade.
Whether it be pouring rain or filtered shine
masking tears or camoflauging your day,
I'll see light amongst shadows you cast
hear truth within any lie thrown past...
For love seeks not to defeat you,
But to free you.

~Finality~
~Finality~
Arabesque sprawling,
needing, seeking your ever-dimming halo.
Around your neck death's impermissible noose
tightens,
As you wince your last embittered breath.
Did shadows appear...
Did they embrace you within cocooning,
cloaked emptyness?
or
Did a light shine...
Did a presense come forth with soothing,
calming peace?
Will I ever see you again
after death
After-life?
Within this green and blocked off space I look
I look for any sparseness of you left behind,
Just a clue or even a sign
that would give some reasurance
This finality won't be
So
final...
But only flowers of multiple dae-glow colors
rise to the occation seeking the splintering rays
of days end.
Is Helios their only savior?
Who was yours?
Did you believe in something...
Someone?
I ask...though I know your answer,
And a stillness more silent than death
speaks to me,
As I leave this place
cold
alone,
and almost
As dead
as You.

I thought I'd write about the sun
to brighten up your day,
But it is night and the moon beckons me to play,
so off into navyness I run with no dismay.
Within night comes many sparks
of little ones which glow,
I'll capture some just for a while
and then I'll let them go...
I'll bring their light to you tonight
and a beaming smile to face,
And all your worries deep inside
their little fires' erase.

nearing to leave a path starry wide
Hailing night for one fevered moment,

So fleeting, light beating
encoding the darkening skies to a rhythm you know nothing of.
Looking, seeking, sensing a truth lies hidden within the message
winking endlessly from afar.
Maybe it's nothing...or maybe something more,
More than could ever be thought or comprehended.
For we know so little and our questions are so big.
And just maybe,
we're not quite ready for the anwers.

Within the early hours of
spreading sparks flicker above,
Awaking fires with gestured sighs
Wherein this heat can burns arise?
Remember if I dare to wake
the embered past's reknown to break,
A heart of fluster's beating through
an empty hint of what was you.
With apprehension hands extend
intertwined within an end,
And curving into what was then
the past begins to be again.
With burning kiss and smoky eyes
a flame burns back its grim reprise,
As swollen thoughts hold vacant touch
caressing love-lorne's flaming rush.
Ignites the flicker to a flame
Becomes the burning torch of pain.

Into each daffodill
a sun is burning bright.
The tempid orchid scents the air
of the coming night.
Lilacs lay down their plumes,
a pillow for your head.
Habisciss is a willling one,
a blanket for your bed.
A star twinks a lily blooms
hydrangia rounds the moon.
Petunias pale until dawn
Snapdragon's fire looms...
Daisies close their petaled eyes
until the waking hours,
All is quiet, all is sound
amid my garden flowers.

~Fly~
Harkened to the angels
before they learned to fly,
Golden spirits grounded
and never wondered why...
Skies held up a ceiling
which gathered them within,
Forever burning twilight
upon their flawless skin.
Many lifetimes passing
before the eagle flew,
Unknown to this vision
their need to fly still grew.
With an itch comes scratching
the eagle's at their back,
Soaring ever-higher,
as stars slowly retract.
Down below and rising
their souls came up to shine,
Replacing stars at twilight
dance angels so divine.
So grant me just one wish
before dreams fade away,
Fly me to the ceiling
of an angel's soul today.

Oh ambered leaf encased within my hold,
As fallen freinds most oft fade in dismay.
Grasp tight autumnal secrets to unfold,
A frosty dew descends upon in play.
Coming winter wresling within white,
While autumn slowly lifts to say gooodbye.
Frost has bitten as her wings extend in flight,
Next season on her carpet all will lie.
So harshly cold to not revoke chill's wrath,
Icy spokes your braches covet no more.
Winter no mercy lost souls upon paths,
Soon budding springtime, unleash showers pour.
Greeeness, flowered promises kiss the land,
Waits summer to extend her warming hand.

Seeing a sunrise that never sets
feeling your pulse which never rests.
Sensing you are running cold
for every card I play you fold.
Time won't heed for a restless soul
freeing only half of what makes one whole.
What's come round might not again
sure you've lost but will you win.

release the night with stars that shine.
Love's unrequited, unanswered cues
ceasing silently...eclipsed...removed.

Does night seek a sunset,
or yearn for just her rise,
Count the stars amongst him
or covet his reprise?
The moon ever-waning
sees night peeking over there,
Pretending he is dreaming
like he doesn't have a care.
Do night-songs mix emotions
in the pool of never-be,
Drown him in the vision...
night and day will never see.
While evening longs for sunsets
with crimson skies up-high,
Morning burns her sunlight
bids night a soft goodbye.
One without the other
feels like one without home,
Dark and light together
forever separate and alone.

Free from all the pain you felt

Or call as echoes from the ash

Throw in a few big words in capital letters,

When all fails go on an escapade of expansive
expletives...fu@k is always an eye-catcher.
So is more better? Is less worse...
Add details filling up space and my mind with
nonconnecting scenarios of sea monkeys gone wild.

Guiding the star of Christmas home.

This silver shower seals us in
turns golden as our hearts within.
Billowing clouds now cast away

Unharbored moon paling in morn
the night's too sweet to just adjourn.
Hold long this love for you and me,

Will this morn bring a brighter day
somehow light where darkness plays?
Just like a sliver inside the soul

Will this silence catch you alone
as your spirit weakens by ten fold.
And is it best to not ask why,
leave as is and not say goodbye?

Left now with only myself,
still looking for that track
only you can make...in this desert
while my silence screams.

Just a splinter of what was

Do you feel the twist inside

Fades your fever, but burns my soul
a callous heart keeps beating cold.

And yes once, I thought you changed

Sometimes I just wanna hear
the rain,
Falling down to drown-out all
your pain.
Flowing us out in circles
that spin,
Easing you down and rushing
me in.
Fills then floods with steep
desire,
Longs to top but yet can't
acquire.
Funny how rain won't ever
rinse free,
Feelings filling but....
incompletely.
How I've tried to convey
my words,
Still your silence is all
I've heard.
And my heart can't beat
with yours,
As you've slowly sealed
all doors.
How does it feel to feel
that way,
Your halfhearted beats
randomly play.
Skipping out on life
and love,
Tripped up on pain's past
push and shove.

Can love endure through hours unend each day?
As clock in hand at glance seconds shall part.
Will time pass quick as love doth tick away?
Untamed a fire can spread and squire thy heart.
A-burn with flame a passion mane doth grow,
Around it fills within thy heart, to still...
This aching web surrounds but never shows.
So warm it feels then chars and peels at will.
A-need of one to douse thy burning fire.
To ease all holds that love sustains in vain.
As minutes pass thy fire's wisping higher,
Then dying down on embered crown to reign...
All hail to Queen as love and pain prevail.
To rule unend as pawn becomes thy nail.

Tell me, is love ever worth faking
to keep a heart from breaking?
Will endless denial build a bridge to you,
or lead astray and run us through?
Lie if the truth's not what I need,
tell a tale so we won't bleed.
Keep it coming until full within,
before false hopes are caving in.
Have you been so close things blurred,
not ever listening, still hearing every word?
All denial does is bridge a gap,
for a love certain to collapse.

The slow turn begins as feet stamper past.
Most don't hear the off-beats tredding behind...
It's them, echoing in a long train of disparity.
I see through swollen eyes these broken,
fragmented piles of sadness on two legs.
Does your heart break for them
as you walk by avoiding interaction?
Do you pause reflecting back
as pain pays no prejudice?
With the spirit of a child alive within us all,
maybe a simple smile would have been just enough.

~Harbor This~
How thoughts will twist,
how words can rot
What we believe,
become what we're not.
The showers will pour
and never rinse clean,
The pain locked within
one can never redeem.
How still this heart
a'beg to beat,
Calm never fills,
when want turns to need.
Grant only one wish...
free me of this,
Pain comes in waves
adrown in remiss.
I try with words,
yet can't explain,
I harbor a place
for me and my pain.

Corosive in nature,
working its way out
And back in.

Eating through,

Commanding full attention,
we oblige
And all the while,
Hatred smiles.

~He~ 2
His rosewood eyes hold me
as the grip of night
tethers me in,
Spring-breeze releasing
feathered expanses,
Deeper I go, again...
To feel, is to want you
To need, is what I do,
Whenever your vision appears.
Taking me softly,
this dream drifts upon me
Then morning awakes,
when he's near.

~Head~
(in reference to migraine's)
I wish I could roll it
down

Maybe stomp it
out of exhistance,
For this pain is like
no other...
Crushing light pierces through eyes,
traveling inward,
Shattering my skull into
a million
invisible
pieces.

Unsure

As it's beatin'

Unsure

But I'm dealin'

Showin' on the inside

Burnt by the fire
from a flame
I never see.

~Heavy Load~
Keep raindrops dripping...
summer's sun fades your smile,
As the skyway lies weeping,
watch rainbows fill for a while.
The fire of colors
burn at the seams,
Smolders the answers
that dance inbetween.
Stands you at edges
holding corners within,
Hands you the essence
of the feeling, again.
Ain't nothing heavy
but ain't nothing small,
Like rain over-flowing,
your eyes cry out it all.
Keep raindrops dripping
summer's sun fades a while,
The skyway keeps weeping,
watch rain fill by the mile.
Gauging the distance
Deep steppin' you go,
The farther the draggin',
the longer you tow.

~Hell on Earth~
Here is your Hell...
no purgatory lay waiting.
Do you feel it in your burning veins,
within your corroded heart long filled with hate...
In your mind frozen in the past, impaled like
a fish on Hell's hook?
Your hell is now...
With every waking day,
lieing obsessed with demons reminding you
that Hell awaits every nightmare you dream,
For you don't have to die
to be dead,
And you don't need Hell
to burn.

~Her Song~
Throw away the day,
and into night I stay.
The weary loon now sings,
her song carries on wing.
Just the full moon round,
cast shadows on the ground.
Over sea she sails,
her song heard will prevail.
But echoes of her past,
whisper softly night won't last.
Just drifting within view,
morning light is born anew.
And fading with each beam,
sings her song within my dream.

Here no unanswered questions
and wonder why you have so few,
I am in awe,
seeing what you always knew.
To fly a little higher

Love is never far

Moon holding the night
as stars turn on their light,
Peace always fills,
moonbeams play and never still.

~Hericane~
You don't see the nearing of my subtle reign
entranced in yourself and blind all the same,
Your voice echoes in and never shall hear
my thunder on the outside rolling loud and clear.
Just at your side my shadow slowly crawls
sizing up your will to stand and weather all,
How will you handle my turning twist of fate
as lightening claims the skies, my thunder now awaits.
The answer comes quite clear within your widening eyes
and now fully aware my storm in you resides.

How fast we fade to black or white
no go-betweens to soften smite,
All hell-bent to beckon call

Yes or no, maybe won't do

No time to jump or creep or fall
live or die what is your call?

~Howling~
He prowls within the longest night
Before the winter shows her white,
Amongst dark woods, deep out of sight
As black as skies devoid of light.
And on this night the wind tells tales
Luring back all inner veils,
Guiding up where spirits sail
To shine on heights mere-mortals pale.
Upon the cliff and under moon
Beams wrapping round like a cocoon,
He hears the flighted midnight loon
Sensing his time nears ever-soon.
Awaits until the moon hangs high
then howls his presence far and wide.

~Hushed~
Cool is the night
still burns me in spite,
As hollowed desires now fill.
Deep in reproach
all whispers unspoke,
As the essence of love's spilling through.
I'm to an edge
will passion now pledge,
To solemnly stay be bitter-sweet?
Toes upon tips
a rose upon lips,
So red, but like love...will fade.
Rushing of wills
the waves never still,
Second guessing my tide's intent.
Wait for the rush
stillness...a hush,
For in silence
I'll finally hear.

~I 2~
Speak to me with hollow words and empty eyes
so that I may fill all,
Not by mere glance or brush of tongue,
but in dreams I fall.
Waking up's an afterthought
as I stumble through your day,
Still know nothing of me
yet in your mind I play.
Self proclaimed fantasy
tell me all your lies,
Self fulfilling prophecy,
confess before we die.

I am the cancer that eats me
I am the sunshine that burns,
I am the one who will fault me
just as a river I churn.
I will always see half-full
I will second guess twice,
I won't seek any answers
as questions unanswered suffice.
You won't see from a distance
pain hides quite well in a smile,
You won't hear in a hello
concealing as feelings compile.

~I Have~
I have come to
My destination,
Where wind-kissed fields
rise to the occasion,
And through them I run,
I run forever...
I've lain under
star-burnt nights.
Been bruised by visions
spurred in spite,
Only to run back to
the plains of my youth.
Through sightless evenings
into deafened-dawns,
Felt coldness stinging
through my numbness long,
An endless journey
during this nightbird's song.
As I have fallen
and I've stood tall,
I planted the seed
which grew my wall,
Still somehow I learned,
I learned from it all.

~I Hold for You~
I never thought words
would fail to speak the feeling,
Now they seem to tire
and loose the voice I'm needing.
Floods me like a river
ripping through the soul,
Drowning all but half of any
bit that makes me whole.
Ran with the notion
that time would ease the plight,
Yet in time the only easing
seems to be my might.
So wallow in the wound
that festers underneath,
Embracing all the hurt
as a gift pain now bequeaths.
Excuse me as I linger
slightly out of view,
But know that I'll be thinking
of all the words I hold for you.

~I of the Storm~
Unsettled rush
neath a storm
Which lay hush,
Worn its path
like a patch,
On this earth
sewn its wrath.
Watch as threads
cross the skies,
Blanket over
all replies,
And a whisping's
at my ear,
You're growing close
but not quite near.
And I run
until I can't,
Escape below,
above you rant.
Burning light
shocks the skies,
Now fall your tears
filling my eyes.

No not again will love sink in,
for this heart no one will win.

~If~
If I could run my nails down
the spine of your back,
Not to scar, just to scratch
the armor you flashback...
I'd scrape away a residue
of sorrow and of pain,
Your deepest depths of living life
when dying felt the same.
A well-worn mask you bestow
hardly conceals my view,
I'd slip between your fear
My fate...
And find the real You.

Deeply through a pine of green
gaze to see what's inbetween,
There nestling into view

Until moonlit beams tone down
head is buried clear around,
Softness settles as morning sleeps
whisperd words inside to keep.
Well to let the dream slip by,
within a silenced solftly repressed sigh...

Nothing said so much
as silence pulled me in,
Hushed to a quiet
the screams grow now within.
Scraping off the mind
words sometimes fall at bay,
Piling up to ruin
thoughts I'll never say.
Tempted back to shadows
I blend into its seams,
Gather all undoings
while darkness covers me.
Rolling eyes back way far
till black is all I see,
Casting all discontentment
on my shadow breaking me.

Irony now seeps,
growing amused as it smiles then weeps.
Leaves one searching for skies less blue,
a vision appearing then fading from view.
Your soul grasping what you don't seek

Blindly catch or watch the fall,
come to claim or leave it all.

As weathered hearts

To change my mind,
this is goodbye.

The jungle breathes on padded paws
prowling low and near,
Eyes bestowing what they seek

To the shadows and will blend

On razor's edge a'claw a claim

Night drops quick
fangs now slip, deeper as they go
Such paralyzing beauty
of his glare that is aglow.

Melting mirrors drip through planks
as the wind skips dried leaves past,
Only once January could be so mild.
February now stands, still green in chilling glory

yet awaiting our stumble through drifts?
For winter is never so kind
as to let her slip by,
with such a tempered grin.

I wonder if the summer lies,
releasing fall before
her warmth subsides......
Fades the feeling I let show,
forgoing tears before
true love could grow.
I rather coldly turned away,
facing autumn winds
to blow my way.
What if the season's heart was true,
I'll break my own for never
loving you.
And with each falling leaf I see,
falls a tear within the soul
of me.
Soon the summer will be gone,
ready autumn's voice for this
sad song.
If by chance you hear the tune,
then sing the song for me
come June.

I wonder if the summer lies
releasing fall, before subsides
All the feelings I let fade,
let shadows fill, where light once played.
What if the season's heart was true
I broke my own, in love with you
And with each falling leaf I see,
falls a feeling deep in me.
While the sunshine fails to show
forgoing love, to ever grow
Summer coldly turns away
while autumn thinks, yet fails to say...
'I wonder if the summer lies,
releasing love before it dies
Fade the feelings you let grow,
forgoing tears before they show.'
Soon the summer will be gone,
releasing fall's dark-solemn song
And if by chance you hear the tune,
then sing and think of me come June.

How dark that shadow you cast
over moonlight's silver strings,
You masked to blackest pitch
it is the night you bring.
Under moon high and laying low
within your raven wings,
I toss about throwing stars out
alighting far darkened things.
Wanes the moon who paled too soon
for knight his sword is swift,
When falls upon cleaves deep and long
until his darkness lifts.

~Knight's Sun~
Until the last star's fire fades from the sky
the fireflies dance within night's velvet cloak.
Inside their peaceful glow trails dreams unawoke
as dawn splinters dark with light, daydreams fly.
Upon the dew of morning's wake you lie
yearning for noon's casted shadow, remote.
A mid-morning dreary awaits love unspoke
as nearing noon climbs to claim half the sky.
While extending to grasp one searing ray
came sun's wrath burning deep unto your soul,
This pain has blinded once before this day
ever consuming last bits of all whole.
Do release this heated star to light your way
to feel sun's healing warmth one needn't pay.

No reflection cast within their backward gleam,
There is no looking past to beyond the stressing seam.
All is thrown to outer edge,

A sullen forfeit too inept to try,

I've come to down and out I go,
from this place though you won't know.

When mornings don't rise
do you see blood red skies,
Chaining your soul and refusing to try
you're so lost it makes me cry...
When the tide comes rushing
do you smile when its crushing,
Always fooling with that grin
however you mask it the eyes give in.
When the day is closing
do you scrape light off knowing,
Night's only as black as the heart
I would open but you've pushed us apart.
And you won't ever change,
why would you explain.....for pain is all
you've ever known.

~Laced Nights~
'Don't want to love you.', the Spright did say
'Get lost in night I'm on my way.'
And as she saw him turn back and grin,
she felt a pain deep, far within...
She tried not to show the gloom she felt,
this tainted card that she was delt.
So she smiled, concealing her frown,
and caught a tear as she turned back round.
On fairy wings laced out far and wide
she sailed into the star filled skies,
Many moons soon came and passed
as she sailed across her skies of glass.
One starless night, Spright looked up and saw
a vision which filled him with shock and awe.
Her fairy wings folded back and found
that very Spright looking up from the ground.
Not having time for Sprightful things,
the night was hers, she spread her wings.

Dormant, awaits the freeze of spiny tears

A'drown in iced-over desire,

Only one horizon to gaze upon
as this reluctant sun sets westward,
I rise as night cools in spiraled breaths
and moonbeams cast harvest eastward.

not muted tones of fading brown or sallow gold,
Long I hold these moments,
before the telling time of autumn ticks.

Still summer-like the breezes blow
through my hair and on will flow...
And this day all skies hold blue,
so peacefully you hold me too.
The sun shines out last beams of gold
I grasp these moments as they unfold,
Last day of summer, first days of fall
to be as one and within me all.
Knowing the reason for my dismay
yet passing seasons never really stray,
Stalling these days as woods lay green,
and flowers still blooming glance inbetween.
In autumn winds I hear the song
sings the memories of a summer gone,
Shining a harvest moon so high,
escapes my summer's last restless sigh.
And from this fire the sparks now dance,
lighting these skies for fall's advance.

Last days of summer, first days of fall
Becoming one within them all.

As seasons pass, but never really stray,
Color the days while woods lay green,
and flowers bloom, glance inbetween.
In autumn winds I'll hear the song
Sings its memory of a summer gone,
And when a harvest moon crests high,
Escapes summer's last restless sigh.
From autumn's fire, sparks soon dance
Lighting the skies for fall's advance.

The sun shone warm and yet a chill
fills me once again.
Will fallen whispers settle
upon this restless breeze,
As all my dormant feelings
come shattering into seed.
I lie within the greeness
of a summer that is paling,
A summer which is fading from within...
Crawling to you on curling leaves
grasp hold this warmth again.
To meet beneath an old oak tree
as the splendors fall in view,
Within this place of dreaming
lies a space just for two.
So come join this summer's
last restless night...
Before she hides from view.

Throwing shadows longer

But the ever-glowing power

A balance never ending

~Living Past~
So long that arduous path does wind
that I am left to only ponder it's end,
For this life, a path treads on whether
we be weak in limb or mind.
Do you crawl along yours,
seeking lapses of solitude along a stretch
offering no repose?
Does your path curve and twist like
a scorpion's tail, waiting to strike
as you round every bend?
Is your path straight and narrow,
no deviation to part your way
As your existence is preplanned
organized...safe?
Or so you think.
So long yet mine may be
that I gaze toward tomorrow as yesterday,
Ever looking back on steps once taken.

Tragedy on two legs...
Distressingly defiant,

Inhale, as all around are consumed
By all that is she.

and there I lie to recount them all.
So follow far this path I clear
a journey long and filled with fear,
A heart now weakened by its might
my spirit breaking without a fight.
As longer days distill in clouds
a vast expanse my sun now shrouds,
For under all the skies too see
looking down you won't find me.

~Lose~
Linger and lounge within your room
till silence slips easy in times out of tune,
Skipping through night and run out on day
still loneliness finds you wherever you stay.
Open your eyes then open your door
step out in sunlight and onto much more,
Gotta live life though you feel like you'll die
got to give it a chance instead of deny.
Too many fears you have let in to play
now tearful reminders relive what they say,
Think long and knock loud while inside your tomb
sealing off tomorrows and years that now loom.
Talk all you like about maybes and you'lls
life's unforgiving cause time makes the rules,
Don't let it run out before fear sets in
your greatest denial is that you can't win.

~Lost Light~
Lost love splinters deep
delivers pain unto this day,
Riding loss on wind's reprieve
now blowing me away.
Cuts a river flowing darkness
guiding hopes astray,
Rushing waters rolling onward
drown within the sway.
Burning stars above gaze down
light shines in many ways,
Loss of love still shrouds upon
and inward darkness stays.
Cut all ties binding the heart
breaking in hours of need,
Love and hate becoming one
fueling the pain you bleed.
Falling stars now sail above
await your wish to fly,
Will you spread your wings throughout
or fold under their light?
Fading now the night withdraws
into a quiet hush,
As the pain with darkness grows
and fills you with its rush.
Love's light never really dims
but you don't seem to see,
Blindness guides you farther from
a love you'd find in me.

The feeling's closer now than then
on whispered touch around and in,
Once pale desire now crimson flush

true love is dead and I should know.

Wipe the darkness from your eyes
and gaze within before sunrise,
A hope, a dream, a falling wish
all may descend but there's one hitch...
As yeaning in thy heart can pull
true love shall bleed it out quite full.
And with this wish can dreams bestow
somehow grant true love to show,
While loss of love will make one seek
a space to fill when life turns bleek.
Arise the yearning, burning sun
shines golden dreams upon someone,
Still waking empty, held within
a self-made heartache now begins...
So come to me with hopeless eyes
as love rebounds but inside ties,
Just cut it loose alas I say
heed these words, love live today.

Waiting as morning lifts these weary eyes
laying unconcerned as night whispers goodbye.
Like lilies in springtime which fail to ever bloom
I sealed all feeling while yearning lay entombed.
As perils ease away in this daylight rendered
passing dreams that strayed awake unremembered.
Greeting soft the sunlight which slowly peeks within
alighting all my hopes to maybe love again.
Shallow hearts shalt fathom deepness of this love forlorn
wilting like a dieing rose surrenders to her thorns.
Helpless as gushing pain takes the place of love
longing binds to loss now filling me beyond above.

Aren't you sick of candy hearts,
and love letters trimmed in lace?
The same old words, 'I love you.' and
'I long for your embrace.'
The endless adoration,

Such fanaticism peels my soul.
Don't think that I'm cold hearted,
It's just this 'love thing' and I

Love is a word that I use too often now,
and maybe I just can't remember when
I really meant it.
Trust is what I want to feel when I'm
alone with you, And yet it seems I've never
truely felt it.
Faith is what I want filling up my soul,
Arise and make me whole, Cause there
are times I'm feeling all of empty.
Peace is what I want to have, To live and
let be, All animosity set free...And still I wonder
if I've ever had it.

Everyone knows
as life grows older,
Love chills away
and beats the heart colder.
Fields lie barren
once golden-green,
How dust stirs in
encircling screams.
Come walk this land
taste bitter...the pill
Binds you in love,
and enchains you at will.
Seasons move slow
just look and see,
Cut free from all
ties that bind me.
A-fly the falcon,
To hold, let go
To have, set free,
To give, just show
All for love...
Don't know.

Love is lies
you wanna hear,
Come closer
and whisper dear,
Turn up passion
love in rations,
How love lies....
Love is power
love is greed,
Love is a conscience
which never heeds,
As sweet as honey
Why do you cry?
A hidden martyr
takes up slack,
Still you sting
as love bites back,
Turn off feelings
many misgivings,
No will to try.
Love's plastic flower's
always in bloom,
Love is your keeper
and guilt your tomb,
See synthetic colors
and still you wonder,
Why love dies.

Tell me, do you know Love,
and is she all that you've dreamt of?
Do others pale when in her space
is she mystic and full of grace,
Tell me, do you know Love?
A sea of blue swims in her eyes
golden rain falls from her skies,
And he whispers he will be her man,
how she longs for what he plans
Will her blue eyes soon see red?
Tell me, do you know Lust,
and is she someone you can trust?
Do you want her all the while
knowing your Love will soon expire
Tell me, do you know Lust?
A flaming spark alights her green eyes
she moves with ease across his skies,
She knows just where and when to fly
She won't be tangled up inside...
for Love's been no friend to her.

~Love's Blindness~
There is a coldness
deeper than a chill,
Within the idle time
which you try to fill.
Wasted sunsets
no longer set for you,
All your colors
fade to deepest blue.
Into the mornings
when you rise,
Wiping tears dryed
within heated eyes.
Comes a vision
you knew you'd see,
Those tangled feelings
won't set you free.
Oh, sweet misery
needs no introduction.
Open me,
to find instuctions.
My only wish
opens unto you,
Never let love
conceal your view.

Gonna wish upon this river
when its stream is draggin' slow,
Gonna let love come to surface
on these dreams that overflow,
Gonna fly above tomorrow
on the wake of what I know.
Gonna wade within the rhythm
of a song once sung alone,
Gonna ride that tune unwinding
if the sunshine never shows.
Thoughts of autumn winds now blister
in the soul of summer's past,
Sailing through a season hoping
yet love's current never lasts.

Riding loss on wind's reprieve

Cut all ties that bind the heart
and break at times of need,
Love and hate becoming one
fueling the pain you bleed.
Burning stars light heaven-high
light shines in many ways,
Yet loss of hope still shrouds within
and out as darkness plays.
Falling stars now stall above
awaits a wish tonight,
Will you spread your wings or pale
under their burning light?
Fading out the night withdraws
into a quiet hush,
As the pain with sunlight grows
and fills you with its rush.
Ride this river flowing darkness
spilling into day,
Rushing waters rolling onward
drown within their sway.
Love's light never really dims
but you won't ever see,
Blind from knowing dark from light
You're lost eternally.

~Love's Shelf~
Don't come here expecting
love to always bloom,
Plant yourself in the moment
and love may flower soon.
Don't ever go searching
for a twinkle in the eye,
Love most often appears
when you don't even try.
Don't define what love is
for I already know,
Love is about leaving
and always letting go...
So heed these words I give you
passion comes at a price,
Love they say is freeing
yet it binds you rather nice.
Though you feel its heat now
love's frost will take a plunge,
Passion often burns deep
before its freeze takes lunge.
So bury deep inside you
anything you hold dear,
Love from just a distance
keeping not one soul too near.
And now don't you feel safe
so good all by yourself,
Living your life idle
while love's upon a shelf.

I search for you,
Behind cirrus outstretching
hoping to mask your light from me.

Knowing you are there
but unable
to ever reach you.

Fathoms many

So blue in tone

till blackest night
fills all around.
Just then do seek
thy grasping hand,
All drown and out
now take command.
A climbing up
toward lightest gleam,
As sun breaks through
thy ocean stream.
Afloat amongst
adrift to shore,
To've held that hand
which holds no more.

Mark the day then skip it through
watch it tumble out of view,
Like a memory that is tossed
let it wander and get lost.
See the sunset as it fades
subdued thoughts sometimes replay,
Now they linger back to you
grab a hold and thrust right through.
How the past still stings the soul
drags you back and swallows whole,
As the feelings stir inside
around the vision that won't die.
Takes you under as before
struggle in then out love's door,
Escaping from past-passion's mess
giving back, just bitterness.
And in the rebel which remains
beats the bleeding heartbreak pain,
Watch it pooling on all sides
drowns you in him as you rise.

Through alleys and streets

Now driven to deafen

Your martyr will falter
but who will laugh louder,
Your fool or the foolish
of heart?
Their tide is unbound
like a clock over-wound,
Never knowing if they've gone
too far.

As palm's sway caress stars and moon holds tight
comes outgoing tide's reprieve yet forlorn.
Wash free shell's sand under lonely moonlight
and release back unto the tide once more.
Once romantic swells now fester brown eyes
as untempered calls grow ever so near.
Ah, but unspoken words are lost inside
whilst swimming amidst this deep ocean here.
Come in all wise one to join hands once more
and share of paradise now bloomed and seen.
Beckoning the distant, elusive shore
look upon what lies for you ever-green.
As warm breeze blows through hair brown as sable,
joining hands with one, thought once, unable.

I fall between want and need,
looking on either side
and back again.
Debating, hesitating, fixating
on the fact that both blur
from this perspective.
I see risk and chance
playing for my attention,
Both form one reason
of why fear leads nowhere
fast.
Not a gambler,
as risk always outweighs
any win,
Not a looser
as I'll fight to sustain
any loss.
So here I'll stay
contemplating then justifying
Why my view from the middle
seems best.

Coming within least restrain
no one hears so I won't complain,
Cause after fear there's nothing left
as tears fall swollen with regret.
Do you wallow within these wounds
digging deeper by the spoon,
Misery fills the farther you go,
so when you're full, do let me know.

Masking moods through stilted eyes
trying to close then realize
The days pass by a bit too soon,
like tumbling waters rushing through.
A'drown in thoughts words never say
Too little late now cast astray
Yet those words encase the soul,
love's a cage and burning cold.
Fallen back on later days
scattered skies cast scattered rays,
Escaped within and out of one
to the next, then on toward none.
Dance enchanted agony,
Repeated steps dance aimlessly.

My moon is waninh to and fro

The wealding power of his rays
burns through beams again today,
This crescent heart has darkened black,
Into the night as sun steps back.
And so I'm silver and that's ok,

This power rules the tides and you,
his sun holds warm but burns one too.

This monster in my head each day

And to the flame a moth is lured...
It whisps in circles so selfassured
Each pass around a flash of red,

Just like the moth we are draw in
Lured to the flame of timeless sin.

A dream takes-in your bitter keep,
and soon invades while deep asleep.
By chance and choice you chose to take,
my dream to bend until it breaks.
How many seconds will you tick,
I count each one and hope it's quick.
Still candles never hold their flame,

And yes I view you much the same,

And hollowed heart so cold inside

Stiring the undercurrents of winters past.
Awakes slumbered reprieve,

Thoughts once idle, afix their gaze ashore.
Moving over curving land, baring breath and bone,
Strides holding steady.....
Soon they will know a new year’s begun.

In blackest pitch I gathered
old memories to stitch,
Blanketing tomorrows
within a five year itch.
A winter chill lay freezing
on frosted dreams endowed,
Waking from the dawn's peek
as light becomes one's shroud.
So gather up all weakness
then remind me not to care,
When twilight seeks surrender
and night's not yet aware.
Hold close the silence
strolling through idle time,
Stars hang in mourning,
Grant wishes? None I find...
Now darkness covets calmly
under a severed moon,
While shifting through my garden
the night and light consume.

See a paling skyway
leading where birds only know,
The sun holds its distance
Crimson rays are casting low,
Walking toward the dusk of night
as it's creeping slow.
Shadows stretching sideways
neath willow trees that bend,
Forever guiding closer
as day has reached an end,
Cover through with darkness
The night begins again.
See a moon peek over
glancing where, one never knows
While stars spark in-rhythm
to a song night's set aglow,
Sing until their tune fades out
and daylight hours show.

She knew the wake was on her...
Crawling up footed steps
Laying heavy thoughts
on the back porch
Where dreams stand waiting
for breaking.
One more night turns to day,
skipping her sideways
Stretching shadowed curves along roads
Leading her slow flooding rapture
to nowhere.
'Never wake.'
A whispered seduction
plays an uneven score,
Seemingly sweet off-tune,
as it woes her to sleep
once again.

All these failed attempts,
and only one thing holds true.
Nothing ever changes,
with You.

~Nothing's Easy~
The slope less slippery
gleaming its way upward,
Making the slow fade
into way far off.
The other
wet with indecision,
Cascading down perils of
unimaginable falls
And believable outcomes.
Which to climb
as both stand in-wait.....
Intertwined with struggle and might,
now succumbing to ease and abandon.
Turning from both bares an edge
unexpected.
Regret tears up from under,
as each step cuts both ways.

~Nothing's Simple~
Plucking every petal back
until the breaking point,
Subtle inuendos fly
within I will anoint.
Pain then slides onto a floor
where whithered memories break,
Brush under any chosen rug
concealed for hidden sake.
Diffused rays work their way
within a darkened room,
Harboring all fears which play
inside a broken tomb.

~Oasis~
No oasis, only arid space reaching out
and sucking in.
Swollen tongue laps miles under
pelting rays magnified.
Fainting tides, petrify in stone eyes,
seeking but never feeling the river
flowing inside.
Tread toward paradise forever lost,
teasing as its mirage drifts ever near.
Drawing you farther away,
from
God.

~Of Him~
When will your last light fall...
Burning bright, yet always shining-short,
as skies behold just another star
amongst many.
Striving, burning, baring again and again
for the nothingness of him...
Many wishes granted...but not yours.
This heated veil covets
in hopes he might uncover
What has always been there,
during your next pass-round.

~Of Midnight's Blue~
Take away all light
turning day to night,
Shadows throw black back
as day slowly retracts,
Held within this dark
a soul sustains a spark,
Alighting deep within
a flame is free again.
Your eyes look unto me,
you gaze but do you see
Vivid in your view,
burning flame of midnight blue.
Gather stars around,
casting up and shining down
Your eyes look back to see,
You assume, but night's not me.
When dawn appears you'll know,
the flame's too faint to show
When night-winds turn your tide,
burns the flame fueled by moonlight
A love of midnight blue,
glows the flame I burn for you.

~One~
I lived a year in the eye of a storm
all in vain as tears did pour,
Within a glance I fell like rain
adrown as I washed ashore...
Though skies would clear to blue
his storm always tore through,
And with my longing I thought I could tame,
Someone who would never change...
In my heart I'd find a way,
And one year I threw away.

~Open House~
No hidden doors
in this house of many rooms
Still I go searching
thinking I may be on to something soon.
You open all around me
guide me where few have been,
Yet I question every angle
wondering if truth still lies in him.
So prove there's nothing wrong here
like something I've not seen,
While I ask you all the questions
of what I doubt in me.

~Open~
Just like a top that spins
my head's a swirl in thought,
All intentions lean toward needing
what I haven't got...
My horizon too starkly parted
where land and sky won't meet,
Onto dusk as dawn's retreating
the sun's shine rays deplete.
So covet darkness in the heart
where nothing else can grow,
Blind oneself from seeing truth
and any hurt that shows.
Deafen ears to songs unsung
played back in idle time,
Reaching out, grasp empty space
as nothing suits just fine.
Where lies hope in darkest hours
when no light ventures in,
Pray the sun will light tomorrow
and warm this heart again.

as fragrance carries love now blooms.

~Our Dark~
Blackened knows our name
as all dark shows the same,
Sealing away our light
shadowing deepest night.
Casting outward as it clings
crawling inward as doubt stings,
In silence it now calls
soon free will shall answer all.
Come question what we are
leading astray, but just how far?
Here Shiva calls you friend,
there Brahma prays no end.
What symbol will you seek
when your dark slowly creeps?

~Owl's Song~
Throughout day the sun will shine
within night the moon will climb,
Out my window an owl does peer
unto this night crisp and clear.
On the wing of this bird I cling
over the moon together we sing,
Piercing eyes onto the prey
down from above from where it lay.
Grasping into deep and quick
soaring up the candle's wick,
Claiming night before the day
wake in morn from where I lay.

~Pale Runner~
Was it seen behind the green
her paleness did peek through,
And did the Dark tell his Lark
that moonbeams often do?
So she gazed into that place
from where she looked before...
Into she stared a bit too long
and vanished evermore.
And hense the Dark who lost his Lark
is looking still today,
For it's the sun and not the moon
who paled, then set away.

The mind goes white
my eyes go down,

I can't breathe.

~Passion will Pierce~
Thorns of love will pierce as quick
as lightning claims the skies,
The nightingale's song soon sings
of pain when love denies.
How ill the aim of cupid's bow
most often likely miss,
Phantom love comes riding on
the night's long wanted kiss.
Love's rose lethal long in stem
twists round the heart again,
Escaping breaths now depleting,
an emptyness blooms within.
Thorns of love do pluck the heart
like strings upon the bow,
Surrender all your passion
as you bleed from Cupid's throw.

The lark sings no song for thee

Flows wayward love, to guide you there
come hither to my call.

Success but awaits my failure...
Climbing high to only jump,
Gazing beyond to never see,
Holding long to only sever.
The hammer falls,
and deadly are the words spilling after.
Bleeds this path within...
Mistake, misfortune, misunderstand,
All pooling wide, flooding any hope held in.
Drown amidst self doubt,
sinking to a level below beneath.
Binding the tongue,
while silence shakes off encouragement.
Shuttering the eyes,
as shadows no longer separate
the dark from light.
Digging blind amongst hollows,
searching for nothing too remote...
but totally out of reach.

~Peel~
Peel me off the floor...again
exhaustion leads me down and then,
I'll find the will to wonder why
the pavement beckons downward...lie.
Onto a cold and hardened place
tread carefully to leave no trace,
Of you here or me right there,
time to stop one knows not where.
And as you look toward sided view
something tilts and leans toward you,
All long and sleek the shadow comes
As clear as night our tears now run.
Just as the moon gives up her glow
the shadow form around does flow,
Within the recess of our minds
comes a peace most never find.

When the blue
fades into black,
Scraping the shadow
casting it back.
Feel it bearing
and soon bites down,
Darkness filling
in wounds abound.
But even so,
wounds seem to fade,
Go deeper down
where feelings stay.
Watch as the blues,
peel their way through,
Leaving a shell
that once was you.

You didn't see
perhaps no one did...
Slipping by silently as it turned
and entered.
You didn't feel
perhaps no one does,
While the silent stranger
within us resides.
That rosy glass
we all look through,
Always bends
and distorts our view.
There is no truth
if we can't see,
Our blindness
binds us visually.
But inside
dimentia waits.....
For soon,
it will be seen.

Whispers in reverse
up slippery slides,
Promises linger
misfortune...abides.
Pale sands sink deeper,

Forever run wounded,
and not ever cry...
How love can ruin,
emotions seep in
The good and the bad,
and neither one wins.
Looking back I know,
love never I had...
Forever abandon,
forever let go...
Forever walk winded,
though you'd never know.

Does your view soften the pain,

Please, sit right down and ponder why
my point got lost somewhere inside.

Drawn in and I don't know why
a firey gaze offers something more,

An ever-darkening tomb conceals
any pulse remainsing. (still working on this poem)

~Rain Dance~
Flowers lay waiting in sunlight's palest beam
a rainbow's their forever fading dream,
Night clouds covet as shadows gather near
amidst darkness stormy skies seem clear.
Breaking states of discrepancy
the wind is calm but there's no certainty,
Hear thundered echoes of distant lands
tumbled words thoughts can't comprehend.
Lay and long for dreams to bloom
awake my mind for a shower soon,
Storm's calling sings on summer winds
to quickly hush and reminisce again.
This showered dance still ends the same
no need to cry when you have the rain.

Seems skies are tumbling seas
Blue and white, waves rushing me
Watch them flow as I gaze above
Long for you, in this sea my love.
Some days drift a bit too long
Wanton dreams, sway nights along
Shining stars, as I pass through
Riding tides in and out of you.
Warming winds sing a song I know
Blowing back and then letting go
Free skies from the levy's hold
Rain you down, flood me ever-so.

Broken rainbows

Diffusing darkness

So pale its tone

Fool's gold awaits
for each tear I cry.
Seek the solace
of dreams that shine,
Casting colors
in each rainbow of mine.

Heels on end
as feelings rise to pointless,
Guide me down to daydream's edge
where night songs flow regardless.
Nothing brings me something
in hours when seconds creep,
Tower your inferno
burn inside my dreams that sleep.
Wake me when you're stirring
keeping shadows in the dark,
Upholding any standard
deny daylight's whitest stark.
Falling in my heart
shall these beats guide your way,
Take me before waking
as dreams oft fade away.

Ride those ringing swells of merrit,

Aloofness caters to cover,

As I pile it on.

Oh love curtains my view this futile day,
as eyes now blind may see by morning's light.
Pull silken sheathe as night darkens my way,
a kiss now seals behind, my soul's in flight.
Tonight will love by chance distend the dream?
Though deep asleep the eyes lie wide awake.
The truest words do spill about in reams,
far deepest truth, true love one cannot fake.
In morning's light awake to see the dawn,
as love's released, now freed before it's gone.

When the moon wanes away
Night eclipsed by day's replay
Looses you to anyone
As feelings lost are never won.
And you try, but still you know
Such effort fails and pales to show
And I wonder, why it seems
approval bleeds from every seam.
When the day gives up her sun
Setting low as night's begun
Chasing stars until they fall
Always wish upon them all
And a day begins again
Shine away the dark within.

Unopened dreams

The moon slides low
and sun subsides.
The days turn weeks
and months now years,
A lifetime paused,
and played not here.

beckon winds to blow at please,
Love just floats out in my dreams
how I yearn for what love seems.
In the twilight of the stars
come to feel you from a far,
Take me in, yes almost there
just the essence without a care.
Your fortress deep within my view
wrap me unto palms of you,
Hold me there when breezes blow
then open up and let me go.
Ride with me this steady sail
upon ethreal tides beat glowy pale,
Swim upon this sea of air
flying free no love compares.

Can I let go,
and get on?

~Rise Up~
Is love always honest
whispering what you wanna hear,
Those words fail to mention
that an end grows ever near.
Are eyes really the windows
look within they always say,
So deeply one goes gazing
so easily one's lead astray.
When mornings rise do you get up
and gather all that you've acquired,
Pile the heap of endless baggage
at a place called 'Love Expired'?
Hidden valley between two mountains
standing equal one in the same,
Came a flood, now flows a river
deep below a valley still remains.
As is the heart that lay broken
still pounding though flooded within,
And our souls never go under
As we rise up to love again.

~Rise~
If clouds could somehow comfort
through the fog I see today,
Then moments deepest black
would turn a shade of gray.
If rain would somehow reside
in hearts as parched as stone,
Soften up those hardened
freed by storms alone.
If Mondays fell on Fridays
and phones paid by each ring,
Would it make any difference
somehow lighten up life's sting?
Is money all that matters
when love is all we need,
Can wanting lead us blindly
when having makes us bleed?
Times when I'm unsure
are unwelcoming at best,
To question every answer
mixed emotions fail to test.
So gather all the thickness
to build well upon one's skin,
Toughen up the inside
brushing hurt off with a grin.
Stand tall though you're breaking
outside there's no one there,
Sail amongst the climbers
rise above like you don't care.

~River Wide~
Feelings flow in a river long
Growing weak, though the current's strong,
From below its true soul resides
Cries an ocean's tears through this river wide.
Came to cross along its rushing-way
Slipped at sides, fell within and stayed,
To drown sorrows much deeper below
Hitting bottom, yet there's farther to go.
Gazing up, a coldness creeps in
Currents stilling as the shakes begin,
Feel it stirring my tides at bay
Emotion conveying what words never say.
Take-in each wave and breathe-out to be,
Flows a river now flooding its way out of me.

Like rolling sleep
the feeling never leaves one rested,
Always in motion
a toss and turn of thought,

I'm tired...too tired for someone my age.
Do we all get so caught up
that we never quite wind down?
Breathe deeper than expected
yet, it never seems to fill enough.
Living winded,
we gasp at thinning air
Awaiting for some kind
of release.

Full of blush

Fully barbed and bekoning
'Come closer'...
Gaze upon

Reach not out
But in,
For there is where

Running blue will tides wash free

Running blue will tides wash free discontent now brimming
Fading west skies paling down and cooling darkness dimming,
Light within your eyes won't lift night as it's falling
Stars won't fade your fears despite of twilight calling.
Long ago you loved and lost yet hope always filled you
Tides rolled out the pain while peace always found you,
Skies of gray cloud feelings that you once knew
The tide's long gone now only memories rush through.
Remember when waters stilled and smiled of your reflection
Then a breeze blew softly by and gathered introspection,
Now a stone's in hand and thrown as rings fan-out detection
All's a blur as visions stir amongst drowning rejection.
Each blushing day shone brighter than any day before
And the night gathered its stars alighting love all the more,
As the days turned time unveiled it's message like before
Love will last as tides rush in and out love's endless shore.
Waters in time wear thin a soul which only just skimmed over
Leaves a smooth but empty shell barren of any dreaming,
Hollowed out and pushed about now only time is dealing
Love unwinds throughout our lives in scores of years time's keeping.

~Running Idle~
With every second of every minute
of each thought that circles round,
Falls an emotion landing uneasy
on each heartbeat faint of sound.
Not to ignore or to erase
all the visions memories show,
Just to ease-up or maybe set-free,
misgivings that seem to grow.
Breathe-in deeply and leaving winded
second-guessing all intent,
What's to reason, when there's no reason
for wasted years forever spent.
As the searcher goes a-traveling
all along this spinning wheel,
Looking onward yet back-stepping
when one falls more than one heals.
Never learning, just reliving
as a repeat always shows,
Brush it off as just bad timing
but inside the searcher knows.
What is light without your sunshine
What is time whithout your hands,
Could lives living on idle,
learn to trust and understand...
We are the ones who hold our answers
yet we fail to hold the key,
Though the door is held wide open,
there are times we fail to see.
The spinning wheel's upon us
step on up with all our might,
Leaving the past behind us,
to lay-low or to alight.
With day there comes a promise
that greets us at sunrise,
Another chance appearing
to see beyond our eyes.

A rouge wave lies drifting
tween now and sundown,
It's silence comes flooding-full
without a sound.
Will faith endure furry
when bright skies stir plain,
And tidaled expanses
consume cold and vain?
To toss within waters
One once gazed across,
Then search every reason
to drown in each loss.
For love suffers slowly
the sailor of hearts,
Casting to sea a
love-lorn from the start.
Eager and restless
the tides have their way,
And rush-in the essence
of love-lost today.

My night-dreams have awoken,
while within a daydream plays.
Got a man but not the essence
of what love is meant to be,
Maybe bad luck or bad timing
made for a seperate kinda 'we'.
Still the haze ain't too heavy
and will lift to lighter blue,
Got my hopes set on tomorrow
seems true love appears to few.
And this life is full of choices
makes for turns upon our road,
Yet with choice we're left to question
every view that life beholds.
Step within the circle peace now
feel as calmness spirals in,
Accept the road I have chosen
or step off and begin again.

Eyes ache as September
blows his way through,
Spreading a fever
round all heartbeats true.
Run-a-long Sunshine
whose light casts a trail,
Love never mentions
her burn which prevails.
The torch's held most often
for another who is not,
Likely to give
what's so justly sought.
So cling long to memories
cause that's all one's got,
September Dreamers

~September Dreamers~
Eyes ache as September
blows his way through,
Spreading a fever
around all heartbeats true.
Run-a-long Sunshine
whose light casts a trail,
Love never mentions
her burn which prevails.
Torch held most often
for another who is not,
Likely to give what's
so justly sought.
So cling long to memories
cause that's all we've got,
September Dreamers
a'waste in love's rot.
Ignore all the signs
just begging to see,
Running from loving
So obvious....me.

Not the fire of red

Shades of sun near rest

Let the shadows
come in to play,
Fill the room black
with their display.
For shadows show
a lighter side,
One of which
won't cast aside,
Deepest dark
they soon abide...
So greet them with
arms out-wide,
Rise from where
you crouch and hide,
For shadows are
the love of night,
So embrace darkness
with delight.

~She Shore~
Her ocean seemed to drift onto
a small inlet full of blue,
And within she dove straight through,
into a world of velvet hues...
Upon her enter she did not find
the sort of things she left behind,
And did not miss the landy grass
upon she swam this sea of glass.
And the years did pass too fast
as salty mists upon her cast,
An ocean apart from the shore
which she left to return no more.

~Silence II~
Needing no words
soon its job will be done,
Traveling discretely
while you're kept to a run.
Racing double time
just one glance is all it takes,
Take one more stride
feel how it breaks?
Notice words say nothing
in the silence that surrounds,
Glimpse inside true intent
as silence stares you down.

~Silence Stares~
Words say everything,
but does silence tell far more?
Gazing within your empty well,
dropping copper down an endless vaccume
I reflect and see myself.
Have I been as distant, uncaring and unappreciative
as your silence seems to be?
Will I get back
what I give out,
Should I even think to think that?
Is restlessness my consequence,
your silence my answer?
Replies echo not as your cooling bricked expanse
grows a bit deeper.
I'll gaze farther down tomorrow
dropping the same, old copper
Asking the same, old questions
watching the same, old silence staring
back up.

You didn't heed the warning

frail bone carved, splintered..dead.

Awaiting raptured adulation
Ride those ringing swells of merrit,
carried on by false pretense...

Becoming both yet neither.

Aloofness caters to cover,
So watch now
As I pile it on.

Night's only as black
as shadows we show,
The moon's flying high
appeased in full glow.
Alighting our way
through valley and wood,
Travel on moonbeams
silver path under foot.
Crisp is the air
rides ghostly exhale,
Lifting toward heights
only spirits sail.
Tracking past mid night
as timbers align,
Showing the way
through nature divine.

When I want it to be
It seldom is,
When it is
I question the obvious.....
Too this or too that,

A surface conceals,
Misjudging depth

As the deeper tones
merge to allusions,
Assuming is easy
When doing seems hard.

~Sink or Swim~
For every light and shadow shone
from every joy and pain that's known,
Arise and sets like sun and moon
forgive, forget, relive.....how soon?
Begin and end as birth then death
reborn within your soul's last breath,
Don't drown within the killing tides
as waves rush in past alibies.
Dreams might sweeten salty shores
await and drift for something more,
Fall-fast in morning tide's first break
and rise above before you wake.
Then fall from heights that rose too high
and burn with flame within the sky,
Come cool below in deepest blue
your soul can swim, but now will you?

All the deeper tones surpass

Until no words are left to say
as discontent then fades away.

Come step within

Guess I'll fake it
Please wish me well.

Perfect pace

Stretching shadows wane
as I've grown tired of
their dark.
You,
asleep where sunlight burns,
Willows bend
brushing night into day.
Sing away your daydreams
while you sleepwalk,
through mine.
Today's burning down

Storms always stir
with violet shades of blue,
Look toward these skies
shards of rain impale right through.
Come to me those nights
flicker in and out of breath,
Paling for some meaning,
that goes beyond any depth.
Still words stale this space
the listener never hears,
Silence tends the timid,
while the scream slowly nears.
Now if not ever
this vision ties me in,
Blinded from all reasoning
as I'm bound to it again.

In time I'm paying

Up above with studded mire
of lapis-blue and gilded fire,
Night awakens dreams in-making
far below where eyes lay waiting.
Swimming islands circle green
within a flowing ocean dream,
Carried by the tides of night
toward star-filled shores now sparkling bright.
Dreams grasp-hold these darkest hours
weaves within this dream I view,
While the body lies in slumber
my soul now flies along with you.

Just the blades of grass move slight
as you weave through each with ease,
Ever unblinking in your quest
possessing with mere squeeze.
Far parted tongue lieing mute
but your presence I have seen,
As worded trails lead to reveal
you long as you are lean.
So lied low when sun shone strong
coiled patience did give way,
One move too quick my talons stick
then cast You clean away.

Under navy nights
feel winter's frosty touch,
Scaling mountains high
longing for the rush.
Climbing to a place
where winter never leaves,
Frostbite shows his trace

Winter storm blow through me
sealing with a kiss.

Piling high succumbing

Tilting perspectives rise and fall
greeting your waning moods,
A winter land embraced in hand
forever will elude.

and as I turn away,
I know I will not face it again.

The thorn that hides
burrows deeper than wide,
A flame which burns
never will subside.
Sometimes truth shows
as answers fade slow,
Light's clearly dimming,
see questions aglow...
A flame now hides
burns deeper than wide,
The thorn which heeds
has come to confide.
Pulls from the soul
sets toward the west,
And lays all sorrow
finally to rest.

~Soul Searcher~
Up the highest mountain the man went looking for his soul,
down he looked around shaking off the frosty cold.
Gazing across skies streaked with deepest, crimson red
taking heavy breath which seemed to fill his lungs like lead.
And as he felt the weight inside of what he did not know,
He wondered if his search would lead him way back down below,
He took another look around as if to check and see
was his soul hiding near as shy as coy could be?
So down the mountain the man did go, too tired to look up
He met the warm, soft ground below,
His soul had called his bluff.

the breeze blowing in,
Gazing blue skies never gray

Into night overhead
where stars always shine,
To imagine you are gazing toward

know these words are true,
Winter's chill is lessened

There is saddness

There's a weight

It's all I see

There is stillness
in the air,
Feelings lost
that were
once there.
Shines a halo
overhead,
Spins in circles
like a web.
All entangled
out then in,
Comes the question
To begin....again?
Spinning back up
and into,
All the feelings
you thought
you knew.
Still keep
spinning,
Even though
time reminds
you to go.
It's all I hear,
so now you know.

I can't walk ready ground

When carpet and concrete

I can't feel tempered breeze
teasing through my hair,
When an air conditioner hums
its soothing repent.
I can't paint subtle vibrancy
of spring's meadow,
When a wall encases
each hand.
I can't perfume halls
with the hint of its arrival...
But I can,
Open my door,
walk out,
And welcome spring in.

Stepping soft but crushing under,

Hinting slight of pain now shuttered

Burning slow this flame to cinders,

Follow far by creeping steady

breaking all leaves none to levy
Nothing much ever sustains
Nothing much of love remains.

Though the winter's snow falls light
drifting memories never subside,
Hear them call while fast sleep,
waking winter's bitter keep.
Watch as seasons come and go
feelings remain yet never show,
Why should words fill up the air,
when true love just isn't there.
And the spring's bud never blooms
its frozen heart fully consumed,
Now the winter leans toward spring,
melting through what heartache brings.
Can a whisper wake the soul
to flower love that won't withhold,
Speak of wishes, hopes and dreams
casting light on what love seems.
And will summertime move slow
warming through as feelings grow,
Holding true when autumn falls,
and still survive when winter calls?

Through towered woods wrestling

And night blankets wide
Fall in my stories.

Desire has never been this

Just before waking from there...
Do we pale as minutes tick ripe,
Sustained by seconds,
While living in a dream?

And with this rain which fall around

Sealing a most certain doom

On a solemn search
I look within the why,
Fear never seems to loosen
and on my back it rides.
At rest like calm water
as peace now fills about,
Yet peace no longer eases
incoming waves of doubt.
The days have numbered down
and nights have fallen short,
I lie counting the hours
as both merge and distort.
I long for those moments
that flow somewhere between,
Travel upon these worries
and somehow wash them clean.
Rolling with the tides
and all their highs and lows,
Looking out and listening
for a break to show.
And now in the distance
nearing toward end of day,
The sunset seems forboding
as moon brings night my way.
I smile with the thought
that an answer lies right here,
And somewhere it was lost
amidst my ocean fear.
Another night will come
and another day will too
Many more may linger,
as I swim life's journey through.

nothing but pain,
Cannot tell

Watch darkness growing

Looking down

The ground lay parched
but not these eyes.
Dreaming's left for fools
who think,
Night will covet
what makes you weak.
Shines the morning

Wake to worry
while darkness calls.
Love to love
but born to break,
Now given back
for all to take.

~Temporary Fix~
Whispers....
might be good or bad
Either way,
we never know for sure
As whispers
always fall just short,
of earshot.
Light viewed dim or fading
as day escapes through night,
Might be calming, foreboding or brewing
As candles glowing, burning, melting
symbolize hope, time or just a mess.
It's all how you view it.
Look at something held dear,
personal, meaningful
Only to someday discard it.
Temporariness comes and goes
with the birth and death
of each day.
So question everything....
What is loved,
what is love?
What is loss,
is it pain?
What if lost,
can't be gained?
What is it all....
Questions breed more,
leaving pointed answers
Toward the next
escape,
vacation,
reason,
excuse,
For everything
temporary.

There is no livin between what twists
within the deepening narrowness of this,
All splendor lost in reckless detail
as toothen bites to no avail.
Padded hammers fall upon the meek
they tie the tounge if one should speak,
All glances kept to crawl the floor
count your steps or take no more.
Something died that day I knew
an empty feeling inside which grew,

and just one rose grows in that space.
Bleeding red all colors true,

And arched sighs.

The wind blows his hair around her
Like a long, black silken cord,
His shadow is prevailing
and through the dark she soars.
If his eyes could only see her
as she sails past his soul,
The palest of all moons
has surrendered evermore.
And as his sun is setting
and the stars come out to play,
He senses someone's there
Someone who's never been away...
Within his distant shadow
shines a sliver of her moon;
Too pale to be brilliant
Too late...
And too soon.

Does your view soften the pain
where lighter scenes distilled remain?
Floating out of into which,
a growing gap seals every inch.
And does the bitter seem like sweet,
when swallowed down and out complete?
Toward a corner aim straight ahead,
you're born to live yet living dead.
The circle's squared and so it seems,
you'll find an edge there inbetween.
And sit right down to wonder why
your point got lost somewhere inside.
And the skies aren't really blue,
you claimed it then so make it true.
In and out paint every door,
lock and leave truth all the more.
But look behind your shadow falls,
and knocks upon your growing wall.

~The Wandering of Autumn~
Night skirts past waking this blue, green world
while memories echo yesterday behind,
See, touch, taste, hear and feel everything
that makes life worth living.
Will today offer what yesterday gave?
Breathe-in warm winds of October
now held to wonder if more will sing summer's song,
Hum to the beat of falling leaves still green
stung by frosted nights and a rising sun.
Uneasy drifts of bumblebees
kiss the half petaled fields,
Seeking refuge from fallen stings.
Placid these days are
as the wandering of autumn drifts through,
Dragging feet half- hearted toward November...
Burn autumn burn as all before,
Wave your fan of golden orange
and burnt sienna through trees paling green.
Brush your tongue round birch and oak
sealing buds silver till spring.
Run through lands leaving footprints I'll follow,
and winter will ready its bite.

~These Eyes~
Two heavy,
swollen
blackened pits
Center
green rimmed
funnels,
Deeply
looking
at all
which is
befuddled...
A joke
only
makes this
less
acceptable,
more
avoidable
For your
words
have become
too
predictable.
Seems interest
has turned
to anger,
And in
pursuit of
emptiness,
I found You.
And you
gave me
nothing
in return...
I'll lie
on sable,
while you sleep
on sand,
And there
I'll leave you.
Think
of me
as
each
grain
fills
your hourglass,
And I'll
forget You
almost
as
fast.

~Thin~
Always leap without holding on
landing hard as fall is long,
Growing thin from the life you wear
tomorrow runs ragged to strip you bare.
Just laying bent not beyond repair
your hopes left hanging upon thin air,
Sit in your room and gaze around
as silence tells something without a sound.
What do you wonder while night creeps in
will darkness envelope your dreams again?
Ask me a question in the paling light
before longing to answer fades from sight.

~This Spring~
Through winters harsh exhale,
you curled inside your veil.
From inside out you change,
your form shall rearrange.
Break-free soon you will,
from nature's windowsill.
Emerge and dry each wing
to live then die this spring.

~Through Seasons~
~Through Seasons~
Just a sliver, the paling moon
above alights the way,
Guide to where all passion flows
amidst where love last lay.
Doubt no more the wind that calls
for soon you're carried far,
Just above the stars on high
look down from where you are.
See cities a'lit like flames
now spark into night's sky,
Drift until the moon once slim,
grows full within your eyes.
Onto autumn's leafy burn
you'll sense that he is there,
Take-in harvest's golden hues
upon midnight's brisk air.
Holding back last summer's sigh,
make way for fallen leaves
Enter in his lair grown deep,
with piles of broken dreams.
Wake him when the full moon smiles
then tell him of your ways,
Whisper when he's close enough,
to warm his coldest days.
Hold him through when hopes are low,
And tears fall lower still...
Find that smiling midnight moon,
Alight his life you fill.

~Through Their Fog~
She could sense in his silence
his pain was heavy with despair,
He was hanging on the wind
like frost that chills the air.
Into the night he drifted
within the black he crept,
The night is so inviting
and on a star he slept.
Upon his dream she entered
like fog rolling on a field,
Into the fog-filled fathom
could fate soon be revealed?
And when he woke in morning
the fog lifted from the air,
He gazed out in wonder
as he saw her everywhere.
The vision was fast-fleeting
and words echoed all around,
'Two souls who've lost each other,
are now forever-found.'

These eyes see no clearer than yours,
Only faith parts my skies, while your endless
storms shadow.
This heart beats no stronger than yours,
Only hope fills me, while doubt empties you
all the more...
This life dealt no less strife than yours,
Only I let go to live, as you cling
to death.
This soul's no more pure than yours,
As light will also guide you
through this blackest dark.

~To See or Not to See~
There is a sign
which often shows,
Just before believing.
A sudden rush
of truth breaks through,
And drowns you
in its feeling.
What was yours

These words are worth repeating...
Or did your vision
mask your view,
And blind you now
from seeing?

~To Those~
To those who lay broken
and those without a voice,
To those who have fallen
and those without a choice.
To those who are hungry
and those who've grown weak,
To those who are abandoned
as basic needs grow bleak.
Know that these thoughts
are often filled with you,
Sending out a written wish
for peace to fill you through.
Know that there is hope
love shines upon your way,
Leading toward a better life
to brighten up your days.

~Torrefy~
A fire which burns
burns not for you,
As your waxen heart
melts into view.
All studded skies
with lighted mire,
Within you step
soon to expire.
Heavy shallows
sink deeper still,
And through you tread
as if by will.
In sullen search
of waning woes,
Embracing rushes
of hidden lows.
All to succumb
under this haze,
A marshy web
your life-long maze.

Three years gone by
as night wraps up
all her silver tight,
Spreading far as darkness holds

And pulls me up
above as stars,
look down on golden ground.

These reigns, like a noose...
Filtering, censoring, even unconsciously,

My towel's already on the floor,
And I walk away
as wet

~Transition~
I came across a soul who moved me
like leaves in whirling winds,
Took me to a place ethereal
on rainbows with no bend.
On heightened hopes desire rose
like sun at morning's wake,
And in this heart that once beat true
was love, lust couldn't fake.
For then ambered leaves did fall
like rain from stormy skies,
To cover and consume a love
as summer slowly died.

~True Love~
Will all that lies golden
fade like morning's first dew?
When twilight's descending
cast darkness about within you?
As time tells the answer
you wonder if you've been away,
When dreams fail in waking
and question what you'll never say.
Moonlight's showing pathways
while shadows creep-in all around,
As night never-ending
comes crushing you without a sound.
With dawn now appearing
lay-lost in the light of its rays,
Snow-blind from the brightness
you crawl toward the end of each day.
While all that seemed golden
fades with the morning's first dew,
True love's never-ending
and finds what was lost within you.

I watch the day
take-in her sunlight,
Before the dark
turns-out his midnight.
While songbirds sing
my song to sleep,
I drift and dream
on hopes I keep.
The highlights fall
on shadowed groves,
A'lighting things
which failed to show.
And is this real
or somewhere between...
A vision's truth
or what it seems?
Do waking eyes
make daydreams fly,
Turning true-blue
within my sky?

~Twist Her~
Within the blink of a lighted sky
fingers scrape across up high,
Comes the thunder of a thousand screams
traveling deep within our dreams.
Waking eyes spread open wide
staring into wind-whipped skies,
Above a funnel peeks out to see
the scurried dance of you and me.
We run, we jump, and go hide under
as funnels run quick and funnels are clever,
Though we try we cannot escape
twists of nature within all break.

~U Can't~
You can't hold rain behind windows of the sky
You can't walk oceans, yet I'll gladly watch you try.
Tell me what forever means, then say we won't last
For you have every answer to, what You have ever asked.
Lie to me a little, so I'll have faith in the unknown
Tell me of reasons why, two souls still seem alone.
You can't grasp forever, as it's lying in my hands
You can't say the words, 'I'm right' cause I don't understand.
Trade a smile in for a frown, hope it rains on a clear day
You can't sing a tune or dance, but you do on my parade.

This life we choose

as tanglings of emotions lie visable,

Been wanting to glide
a slower downward slide,
Farther into and away,

Rolling breezes wayward flow,

I drift in teal blue seas,
never drown unless I please.
This rapture wraps around,
leaving my senses all unbound.

escaping night behind my eyes.

The words escape me

And in this darkness
love's light resides,
Shining within
us all tonight.

Love find me when twilight lifts just part way
guiding through valleys where wildflowers sway,
Sweetly the wind blows of jasmine divine
guiding you closer forever be mine..
Walk past the oak tree that curls up her leaves
turn by the scarecrow whose crows never leave,
Deep in a meadow grows lilac lace fans
there in between them I'll lay where I stand.
Forgo the hours that pass travels through
holds to a passion exceeds what we knew,
Rest not as moments are fleeting from night
rush in your presence and take in delight.
Hours fall between a wish and a dream,
an essence of twilight drifts on moonbeams.

~Vision~ 2 versions
As ground is cold and skies are filled with ice
A burden bound in chains of self suffice.
What rests upon this soul of love is weak
As love forlorn has conquered me complete.
A wish that floats upon the tongue is lost
As quiet shakes a ready ear will cost.
To search in silence as whispers lay near
To hear of love in winds once blow by fear.
The call was soft as eyes at glance did see
a vision full did fill beyond all need.
At lean to hear a song did flow from thee
and sings within as love still burns in me.
8-31-06
second version below
The dream was true, my eyes first glance could see
A vision full, filling beyond all need;
Slight and soft, a song flowing from thee
and sang within the song of love to me.
That song which weaves the dream seems lost
as I meet the nearing day, a'loss.
On toward silent wishes peeking near
unsure of love, with hopes now born from fear.
His heart is cold, his eyes are filled with ice
All burden-bound in chains of self, suffice.
What taps upon his soulless love, knocks weak
As love forlorn conquers me complete.

Void is only half this feeling
as no rewards fall when one goes reaching,
Beyond, thin air hangs arid

Breathe for me

Filling moments beyond expression.

while I comb through these strands long tangled,
Breaking off what never was...

Stroll long in orchard's apple breeze,

Burns the moon, a harvest mass
A glowing orb of golden glass,
Here I sit as fire-sparks fly
Like fairy-wings above up high.
Leave me unto autumn's world
Asleep within a chestnut curl,
Wrap-round curves of maple leaves
Warming my soul in golden sleeves.

searchin for light through this dark of mine.
The coming season will spill its smiles,
and there I'll be, longing for your wiles.
So come winter, then spring to me,
Burn with summer, and fall to my knees.
Watch as I wonder all season round,
searching for a feeling which I've never found.

Drown in longing as I fall.

Drown you in me afterall.

~Wayward Sea~
With a sigh falls morning's dew
the knight retracts and day's anew,
The blushing sky has worn her height
with weary eye and thorny light.
Spears the ground up high she reigns
comes pelting down not once refrains,
In golden fleece around she spins
glowing skies sea on mistral winds.
She wonders why above her all
the stars have strayed, for him they fall,
Unto the knight granting his wish
cloaking her skies to blackened pitch.
Then sprinkle sparkle through his nights
alighting fire flies deepest brights,
Stirring her winds, setting day's coarse
Knight's wayward sea flows no remorse.

The willow weeps for days on end
Cowers low, as leaves descend,
And the brook by willow's bow
curves and creeps a river now
Come and drown her weary ways.
There's no healing in sunlight,
shining down, but all in spite
For some will burn, while others gaze
pretend to see, yet blind and dazed
Come to darken all our days.
And rolling with the skies
are tumbled seas of tears on-high,
Raining down upon a tree
the willow-woe of misery
Come and drown all weary ways.

Willow weeps for hours on-end
Cowers low, as leaves descend,
And the brook by willow's bow

Deep and down enough to stay,
Morning's dawn has cast astray
all dark and light in disarray.
Falling stars alight then fade,
Her darkened ebb of woe remains...
There's no healing in sunlight,
shining down, but all in spite
For she will burn, while others gaze
some will see, she's blind and dazed.
And rolling with the skies
a tumbled sea of tears on-high,
Raining down upon the tree

Oh morning glory kiss upon the brow,
As western winds graze past gold meadowland.
Can you hear laughter's echo even now?
Just as winds cease, there falls an open hand.
Seeing the fairness of a sky too blue.
Wait wondering, grasping hold evermore.
Reaching out, pealing back that palest hue,
Entering into once elusive shore.
Sullen desires trip in to find their way,
Feeling well-worn edges past and to part.
Stumbling back into all which cast astray,
Kindling inner realms warm upon this heart.
And comes a vision lighting all remote,
Ethereal tides, drifting on I float.

Darkens half of what

When you haven't
time to spare,
Don't fret
about haven't gots

Give every thought

As dreams spill beyond our eyes
night consumes as day subsides,
Sure daydreaming seems ok
but are you listening when nightmares play?
Fear is whispering behind their door
got lock and key plus something more,
Loneliness courts monotony
as walls block in its certainty.
Kind hearted words might pass the test
but lies still linger in the rest,
Some won't see beyond the rose
their tainted version of truth exposed.
Come and tell me when you hear
as daylight lingers ever near,
Is the key somewhat turned
releasing whispered fear unlearned?
As morning greets today again
the night has closed await for when,
Fear to meekly walk in view
on whispered dreams of me and you.

Nightmares tap behind our eyes
as night consumes and day subsides,
There they wait behind a door
holding lock and key,

Moonlight courts monotony
as night seals in all certainty,
With eager-urge nightmares creep-in
and wake their way toward me again.
Rise and tell me when you hear
their feeling lingers ever-near,
Did the key sound somewhat turned
is what I fear just what I've learned?
As morning greets the day again
the night has closed and waits for when,
All fear to meekly walk in view
behind a door of me and you.

Love like the sun will warm one deep within
rain like our tears will fall until earth's end,
Truth like a lie needs words to set them free
time will tell the answer to the words you're tellin' me.

playing out before us is life real or fantasy?
Ask but do we seek only answers that console
truth's not always kind but it's all that makes us whole.

Maybe blues run cooler
Gaspin' as tides grab hold,
Washin' out the answers
to questions I unfold.
Watchin' sands sift deeper
As I look out from in,
Feel this castle crumble
Left within the loss...again.
'Why' never gives good reason,
'When' hasn't time to say,
'How' fails to give the details,
And 'where' proclaims, 'No way.'
Still, I'm left with questions
maybe lookin' out aint 'in',
And maybe a 'maybe's' the reason
My answer has left yet again.

Fly me through a lilac sky
while petaled breezes

Ride me over autumn's moon

Awaken when the evening stars

Under a snowy-state

Sleeping through till springtime wakes
The light in me
that dusk forsakes.

As the sun slips behind black eyes
the night stirs at dream's edge,
Pooling for attention, facing pain
barbed and ready to break.
Splitting under-foot, lifting careful
eyes see the other side of mourning,
Held low and paling under moon
its breath half-taken, half expelled.
Waking thoughts stumble
through the ash of dreams past,
A'gaze at shadows crawling backward
leading nowhere by dusted morn.
Cries sound in reverse,
As laughter opens the window

Blueness blowing through me
with the coming of a season's last hurrah,
Hints of sallowness and indifference
spilling through it all.
The greeness of each and every blade
has not faded into fall,
And yet I wish the summer sun
could make the autumn stall.
How I'll miss the summer
with her warm and sunny ways,
Wishing a wish for my summer
to last all of my days.

~Wishing~
Deepness, can you take me there
to enter in unbridled lair,
Senses heightened upon a kiss
within the irresistibleness of this,
Rushing flows around you go
emoting all there is to show.

~Within~
When skies feel like there falling
Do you hold your hands above?
Gonna cloak the day for night's sake,
Would you do as much for love?
How I've seen the same before you
watch them wrestle within sight,
Gonna go past ever limit,
Do you do it all in spite?
There's just one life we're given
If we're lucky maybe more,
Yet, you're living within shadows
of all the days that fell before.
When will you see the dawn break
Go beyond yourself for your sake,
Still clinging to questions why
and not within where answers lie...
Let go the pain and hurt
of all past sorrows,
Live for today and let night
turn your tomorrows.

~Without U~
Without this night there'd be no day
Without my moon no sun would play.
Without these stars there'd be no sky...
And without you there'd be no I.

~Wordless~
Words protecting words,
Sealing thoughts within a symbol
or a warning......
Arrogance assumes
words won't sink
a little deeper in memory,
than in a copyright.
For once released
words become everyones,
Free to fly into and within
our choice to read.

~Wrap~
You're my whisper
my want that won't tire,
You're the flame
fueling all my desire,
Heart's blind to reason
your enticing charms,
Wrapping me unto
the warmth of your arms.

~Yellow Rose~ 2 versions
While rolling, circle wheat abounds
in valleys far and wide surround,
Where under skies stretched powder-blue
there lies a rose blushed red by you.
As tempered breaths hush whispered winds
blows passion's mists on morning's shin,
Escaped desire arose the sun
shone yellow blooms upon...among.
This spearing tone shines deeper still
as evening dark around now spills,
And with this night shades yellow, red
a love once grew and now is dead.

Where rolling circle wheat abounds
in valleys green and wide surround,
Far under skies stretched kelly-blue
there lies a rose blushed red by you.
As tempered breaths hush whispered winds
blows passion's mist on morning shins,
Escapes desire, arise the sun
shines yellow hues upon...among.
This evening's tone sears deeper still
as darkness black around will spill,
Within the night grows one rose red
where love once grew but now lies dead.

~Yellow~
Yellow in tone
mirrors the sun,
This brighteness takes
a sallow run.
All through the bow
of morning's dew,
A sudden hit
of brighter hue.
Into this rose
of deepest red,
Within it bleeds
all mustard fed.
Therein is given
uneager friend,
As haste's true love
now met its end.
Oh yellow come
never to me,
That color shows
no subtlety.
A rose is handed
not to give back,
But when is yellow
one must retract.

~Yes~
Yes...comes the calling
Shadows taunt the trees,
Stepping ever-deeper
Intensifying need.
Within deathen-silence
no words sounding near,
Steps from the darkness
ring crystalin clear.
Cuts a shadow-form
straight center-face,
Heart sent a-pounding
All desire escapes.
Passionless peril
Need turns to fear,
Lost inside darkness
Drown within tears.
Awaken upon morning
suspended in a spell,
Never seek the caster
where forest shadows dwell.

~You Too~
You shine on me like a day full of sun,
your hope lights the way, my fear's on the run.
When moments are fleeting, as minutes slip by,
all feeling succumbing, no wondering why.

~You...~
You...
like smooth twilight
Bright, briskly fleeting
just before day burns
me down.
You...
vivid colors painting
Deep within my sky
fade within this sunset
My love.

~You~
A paradox lives
in you.....
The deeper down
a clearer view,
The farther out
gets closer to,
I won't try
with all my might,
You close off
as I hold tight,
To be turned on
then off by you,
Your paradox
lives in me too.

~Your Love~
Falls but never far
as love catches all,
Flows like rivers wild
deep inside love grows.
Hides but never long
shows within your eyes,
Holds like tides to sand
rushing in love goes.
Fills but never drowns
let your worries still,
Long as summer days
may your love stay strong.

~Your Shadow~
Let the shadows come in to play
fill the room black with their display,
Each shadow holds a lighter side
one that doesn't cast aside,
the dark in which they abide...
So greet them with your arms out wide
rise from where you crouch and hide,
For shadows are the love of night,
so cast your darkness in my light.

~Your Words: dedicated to Rainer Maria Rilke~
Though my head is pounding
to the beating of my heart,
Your words are so engaging,
I cannot bare to part...
Not looking away to shutter,
my windows all wide eyed.
If I could write with just a splinter
of the talent you supply.

~Zero~
You have no idea
You...nonexistant,
Never was
or will be,
Like a night passing
without notice of darkness coming
or leaving,
A nothing for which
You have been
and
are.

An absent remnant
of obvious truth,
A never-was
or ever will be...You.
Like a night passing
Without notice
of its darkness coming,
or leaving.
A nothing encapsulating
toward deepest center,
Within every smallest pore
Leaving me everything,
Till there's nothing
anymore.

The day's firey vigor fades
Down from something,
then everything at once.
Stars lift upon a sky
anxious and weary of night,
Cower within its somber...
The road round and familiar
curves out from under,
Falls each weighted footstep.
Circling back
To where everything,
then nothing really matters.

Skies above move
All that is blue,
filling me through.
Eyes around gaze
All that I see...
remnants of you.
Words will not say
What's to convey,
has gone away.
Stones skipping skies
Come sinking down,
to where I lie.
Loss is here and holds
No future shows,
when love let go.
Breathe last whispered sigh
As skies above
turn off tonight.

Through Seasons
Just a sliver, the paling moon
above alights the way,
Guide to where all passion flows
amidst where love last lay.
Doubt no more the wind that calls
for soon you're carried far,
Just above the stars on high
look down from where you are.
See cities a'lit like flames
now spark into night's sky,
Drift until the moon once slim,
grows full within your eyes.
Onto autumn's leafy burn
you'll sense that he is there,
Take-in harvest's golden hues
upon midnight's brisk air.
Holding back last summer's sigh,
make way for fallen leaves
Enter in his lair grown deep,
with piles of broken dreams.
Wake him when the full moon smiles
then tell him of your ways,
Whisper when he's close enough,
to warm his coldest days.
Hold him through when hopes are low,
And tears fall lower still...
Find that smiling midnight moon,
Alight his life you fill.

This breath long-winded
lingers between then and now,
This shadow short-sighted
blinding all when and how.
