Poetry

it's a nicer street
than the one
where my home is.
most of the houses
have not only alarm systems,
but also video surveillance. ...

do not mistake
my kindness
for weakness
for infortiftude
for a lack of fire, verve, strength
i am beauty ...

The sweetness of your strength
Entices my imaginings
Your icy chilled gaze
Stills my need
Yet fuels my desire
You -- feminine, perfection -- tower ...

The muse is quiet
The winds move the leaves
A world set aright
In the haunting, black relief
Friends, cohorts, countrymen
A fiendish lot of fools  ...

Green eyes gaze back
Through mirrors of reflected time
Walking once sacred mysteries
On brown grass, turning away
From winter's chilled prison
Frozen thoughts, cold memories ...

On first contact
Your gaze
Stilled me
My once clear mind
Journeyed
Into the flames ...

Wretched indecision
Dawning indiscretions
Wanting imprecisions
Lusting for the truth
Moments' lost enchantments
Reaching for the knife ...

Travails fuel the fire
Passions cool the soul
Sensations fill the moment
Humanity's flowing role
To live in the puzzles of time
Pieces scattered on a hardwood floor ...

Pain is lasting
Memories unforgotten, relived, cherished, held
Visions of yesterday, last Tuesday, the brawl in the schoolyard
Forty years ago
Pain is forever
Thoughts cling to sensations, sensations to thoughts ...

 
How do we heal the heart of a friend?
How do we steal the smile of Zen?
The frogs in the starlit night hold the clue,
As they jump for joy and laugh, seeing you.
Can our mortal minds hold the key to the trance? ...

a journey of darkness
summoning the din
clinging to memories
bubbling within
the secrets of light
set down in the dream ...

You left, yet I remain
Dazzling white lights hinting at beyond
Dark shadows of eternal longing
A teaspoon of everything, of nil
Soul wracking collisions of karma and chi
Waves still crash on wearing rocks ...

Memories fallen
From the void where they lived
Colors of starshine
The great wide dark sieve
Ideas from the vortex
Rock me to sleep ...

Stillness invaded his presence
Colors from the abyss flowed forth, mixing, twisting, glowing
A time of renewal was upon him
Wonder invaded his thoughts
Seeds of imagination planted in fertile soil, watered, tended
A time of growth was upon him ...

A past of insecurities, fear, begrudgements
Seems to him so far away
As he looks at the hues of the sunrise
Apprised of a happier place
The time for joy arising
As he finds the deep smile within ...

Shocking revelations
Queries forever unspoken
Wonders unaddressed
In the redress of yesterday's today
 
Unforsaken platitudes ...

To know you have wronged me
To understand I have been hurt
There is found the clarity
That leads to the opportunity
To forgive
Embracing all that was ...

where my dreams meet yours
is the truth of our reconciliation
one grand plurality
spectacles showing our vastness
our majestic awareness
melding ...

Surrender to the place
Where only love is found
There you'll hear the angels
Singing a heavenly sound
Accept the life that's yours
And share it with the world ...

Constant shallow ripples
Lap gently at my soul
Where meanderings gather
In the depths of love's river
In times of calm relfection
Viewing a thousand waves ...

I woke this morning
And felt a gentle breeze
I woke this morning
And heard a bird’s song
You woke this morning
I breathed you a breeze ...

I woke this morning
And felt a gentle breeze
I woke this morning
And heard a bird's song
You woke this morning
I breathed you a breeze ...

Paint your dreams
Dive right in
Express your true heart
Grab the brush
Dip it in the colors
Life is your canvas ...

Sweet surrendering moments
Filled in our hearts' golden song
Tempting fresh aura
    of your waiting presence
      of butterscotch sensations
Smoldering ancient visions ...

Mindlessly, I'm trapped
By the slim curve
Of your legs
Fantasies rise
From deep within
A desirous warmth, a haunting home ...

Bountiful sensations
Flowing through the strains of time
God's touch surrounds
Immersed in the wonders, divine
Waking from the ancient sleep
Eyes see with clearing sight ...

i knew not that i was missing a thing
until i looked into your open eyes, your bright soul
and i saw the perfection of us
overwhelmed in the great joy
tears flow as the river
leading to your love ...

He walked for countless days
Eyes closed, heart guarded, hidden from light
Seeking happiness, seeking fulfillment, pleasure
In the fruits of a strangled orchard
The trees were bare
He wandered on ...

She flows as the wind
Gently caressing
My skin, my heart, my essence
Enlivened
In unspeakable passion
I am incinerated ...

Your eyes
the vibrancy of the leaves
in late spring.
Your presence
the flight
of the newly risen butterfly, ...

From the depths of our longing souls
We cling to the sometimes dim hope
Of the gift of the Love
That heals
Peace for all the world
Beginning with a giving heart ...

Diving into
The sweetest essence
That is the nature
Of you
All time stops
In the old existence ...

The sunrise is paled in your light
Oh sweet present lover of mine
Such a wonderful glorious sight
Oh lover, complete and divine
The moments when you touch my heart
Awakening thoughts from of old ...

Expanding resplendent bliss
In the moments before we wake
Awaiting the perfect kiss
With eyes, agree to partake
Heightened sensations we share
As feelings grow and expand ...

Your depth, your eyes, your moment and flame
A look in your soul and nothing's the same
Emptiness, fullness, my one and my all
Into perfection, I willingly fall

from deep within the fiery waves
she met him in a destined gaze
dropped her sorrows to the floor
along with all the clothes she wore
he beckoned her to take his hand
touched her moistened fertile land ...

Growling in each dawning thought
Perfect passion, heavenly wrought
You fill me to the brink in you
Paint the trees in colors new
Fire, fire, fire, flame!
Lost in sorrow's unfound blame ...

Magic is freely flowing
From the hands we wash in peace
Separation's memories
Gone with a choice of release
Joining hands in love
With courage, strength, and trust ...

You restore my knowing soul
In the overwhelming magic of love
With your sillyfresh smile
And your real and true faith
Drifting off to dreamsville
I look up for an instant ...

Filled in your warm rising river
The power of love sustains
Through winds of the eye
And torrential flooding rains
Surrendering to the wonders
Of a juicy taste of you ...

What if I fall
Just a little deeper
In love
With you?
What if the world
Stops spinning ...

Lovely new vision
My eyes open wide
As I look to your gaze
And see deep inside
Blooming of love
Flowing now free ...

Into the presence of love
Diving into your bright eyes
Love dawns with the sun
Sets with the waning moon
Nothing can come between
The love that is real and true ...
