How do I write
the sun and the moon,
the lightness inside
a floating balloon,
the lover’s love
to fall and then swoon,
the dreamer’s desire
to sleep until noon,
the heart of a child
turned loose in June,
the eyes of an elder
divining by rune,
the keys of a piano
that’s slightly off-tune,
or the unwritten music
that ended too soon?
I sit by the ocean
in the mind of [...]

All’s Fair?

The momentary explosive thud!
A thought that halts in silent dreams
the tracks of singing shadow stalking
to pierce the night with echoed screams
of fightin’ words dare not be spoken
for fear of falling to extremes
in Love or War as casualties
the thought once turned to phrase redeems.

Haunted Heart

Thunder clapping and lightening flashing
the water spills and fills the ground
as creeping from around the corner
stalls the lifebeat from its pound
a nightly stalking shadow sings
and holds the restless spirit bound
by screams of nightmares’ gravitation
to dreams that never made a sound…

Out Of Water

I dug myself a deep hole
and blindly jumped right in.
On my own, I dove head-first
into that bottle of gin.
Like a lobster in the pot
I relaxed into sloe breath
while everything around me
almost simmered me to death.
It’s the ones I hurt the most
that have been my saving grace;
God was right in front of me
waving a finger in [...]
Love’s Bane
Posted in poetry, weekly series, tagged bane, dreams, heartache, love, love's, passion, poetry, Week#8 on December 20, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Dark and dreary stalks the storming rain
that taunts of midnight dreams again
will to spin and spin and spin in vain
out of control in this domain
of simple passion as yet profane
imagery calls into refrain
such the stabbing polished words of pain
beneath a brooding moon’s disdain.

Love is all it’s own
and as soon the light is shone
never dies alone…

You just have to
Let Yourself go
find a way to
Lend Yourself to others
so that you can
Look inside Yourself
when Life gets tough
and Laugh at Yourself
while Learning to
Love Yourself
because you still have to
Live with Yourself

…and in the eye of the storm,
total calm.
Peace, like a babe’s blanket,
gently draped upon my soul.
Would I see
the impending, careless havoc
to be cast into my world,
I’d sooner die
than live.
But so overwhelming are the sparse,
tender moments of nothing
that for the chosen moment
I blindly follow
Love into chaos…

Drunken Soul

Wandering aimless
around my heart
inside my mind
coming apart
shaking it all off
like a cat in the rain
I’ll bloom once more
and kill the pain.

For anyone interested: this was inspired by a unique combination of circumstances involving 3 very special friends of mine and me. I will eventually do something weird with this graphic, but for now – use as you are so inspired to. Blessings to all this season!!
