Poem
Nov.20.2011
This evening the sun set,
Projecting a variegated array of fire,
Dancing across the desert sky.
This evening where the sun little is,
Crayon full colors undulated
Across the northern sky.
And the globe is alive, and it sings
As these sine curves meet
On the moon.

Tentacles entwind to
form a barrier, darring you to
penetrate the forest deep.
The trick is to do it without
disturbance to all that
reside there unseen, for we know
no light like the light of
the snow, white of the night, of
the forest deep.
On and on we penetrate until
exhusted, the light of the
white of night is just snow white.

Cycling
Wake each day to a
Fragmentation of a life
Swimming in my head, light
From the drugs of their choice,
Not mine.
I would rather play up in the sky.
High on the mountain tops, no matter how
Low the valley may become, because there's
Always a fix from the drugs of their choice,
Not mine.

Poem

Words are left mystified
On shelves gathering dust,
Waiting for euthanasia.
Cast away in one last
Desparate act, an
Unintelligent man passes
By-But the man of understanding
Blows off the dust.
Knowledge gives the written word new life.
Tell the story.
Mystified words come alive,
In the eyes of the child
Waiting to be passed,...

Poem
May.03.2011
The wind came racing
like neurotransmitters through
the steel-gray mind, scarred by the images
revealed, when night terrors take their toll.
Like an EEG, through stages
upon stages, every vivid, color filled,
frightening detail is etched on that mind.
But, no one wants to hear
that the terrors of the night were...

Opprobrious act,
The insenstient woman.
Deep rooted thoughtless.

Poem
Mar.23.2011
A bourn that trickles into the lake
With seasons full to overflowing,
Causes ripples, waves in motion
Only to dry come full circle.
Cast off, now, come about
The wind may drive you further
When once upon the lake you've set
Edges seem to blur.
Explore her full, within the bounds
Periphery can't be clearly set,
A piece...

She shuddered at the words
he said, "Stay until I'm gone."
She heard them call for her,
How long?
She stayed, they sought
They must not find her there.
She shuddered at the time;
She stayed until she could no longer.
She went and hid elsewhere,
How long ?
She stayed, they sought-
They must find her, somewhere.-daw

Softly sleeping, now
On a down-filled pillow blue
Dreams go sailing through-daw
