To The Women Ive met here 7/30/2007
Mountains look like the jaw of God
Oceans ripple like the stretch marks
Of a pregnant and infinite mother.
Gravity is the ultimate miser
Saying bring everything back to me.
Tornado's are architectures dusky
Garbage disposal
And the unbridgeable distance of obsidian space
Makes the controlled bombs of stars little rhinestones.

A THOUSAND MASKS 7/30/2007
Don't, be fooled by me; don’t be fooled by the face I
wear, For I wear a thousand masks. Masks that I am afraid to take off and none of them are me!
Pretending is an art that's second nature with me;
but don't be fooled. I give the impression that I'm secure; that all is sunny
and unruffled with me, within as well as without; that confidence
is my name, and coolness is my game; that the ...

lost cup 7/30/2007
One day while wandering the forest I found a cup, it was a fine glass, that I drank from each and every day, it was always full of love's kindness. I shared it's bounty with all I met, even those who only took from me. How that it chose me, I cannot say, but at the same time so plain to see. I suppose I took it for granted that the cup would always be around, even in the darkest of moments, I ...

To see the stars bright and blue, to see the Heaven in the

you are touched by the hardest of times.

What is 'proper' ? 7/21/2007
What is proper?
<br>
Solitude and seperation
Lonely slaves to proper paths
This is not right
This is not the way it should be..

I want to swim in your waters
Deep and gentle
Lit by sunlight
Full of coral and beauty
and quietness..

I want to feel your gentle breath
and know the beat of your heart
I want to control your body and

Season of love 6/20/2007
Golden fields
A playfull breeze
A wisper from the woods
Silver wires glance through dawn
Morning glory
Eyes of beauty spreak a thousand tales
The spirit within makes the thruth unfold
Thirst for life : one story untold
A smile of hope like the rays of sun
Your warm heart, a loyal friend
Touches your soul

early spring 4/16/2007
early spring coaxed out the apple-blossoms too far, because the warm nights stuck their necks out for the wet kiss babies get.
then the cold boyfriend of winter returned, shook the trusting petals of their heads to the ground
and the mother wandered the orchard ward, wondering where new apples would come

Happy Birthday Ronsha 3/31/2007
In the desert 40 years with Moses, up a hill 40 days and 40 nights,
All I have to give you are orange roses, and words arranged in hopeful flights.
Wandering gentile beginning spring, In the desert of the modern world,
Or so the new old philosophers sing, dangerous freedoms sorcerers have unfurled.
Killing the ancient romantic fling, knights dead upon the truths hurled,

Direct you to gods way

I won't be dismissed

If you want your back
You need to run down gods track.

If you want us too.

Wisdom 3/21/2007
When I applied my mind to know wisdom, and to see the business
that is done on earth, how neither day nor night one's
eyes see sleep; then I saw all the work of God, that man cannot
find out the work that is done under the sun. However much
man may toil in seeking, he will not find it out; even though
a wise man claims to know, he cannot find it out. (Ecclesiastes
8:16-17 RSV)

Generation after generation "I love you" from mouth to mind Plays "keep away" from death...

Why am I here?
To discover something?
To drink beer?
The conflagration of the day/
The dousing of the night/

Why ask the even question/
When the long hike
Toward answer wastes/
The precious ring in being/
Without pretentious tastes?
For answers to the universe/

Love Poem 2/9/2007
From a bloody rope
fell from mothers belly
like a mucous--shiny bell.
Decades later
the rope lost blood,
shimmied neck high.
I fall

interrupting pain signals.
Its now accepted Western practice; anything reimbursed
by insurance is accepted practice.
There is also the voodoo practice of placing needles into
a doll to effect pain in others, as well as metaphorical

Sonnet of Broken Scales 1/30/2007
Wisdoms mouth is a famous jewel/
Toward the dust go genius and fool/
beneath suns monster faucet of light/
Paralyzing evil and liberating light.

fall to graves without trial or reprieves/
The book of life scrawled on the callous palms/
of scum and angels, noise and psalms.
Torturing our minds with why we cease/

Considerate or egoistic? 1/30/2007
My love
Has told me
That he needs me.
That's why
I take good care of myself
Watch out where I'm going and
Fear that any drop of rain
Might kill me.

loneliness like a refugee flees.

History isnt progress 1/23/2007
We will never learn from history,
Because the great lie of automatic progress
Means the faster we flee the past,
The quicker well arrive
In the crystalline palace of the bloodless future.
And truly knowing what was paid for our comforts
Would make them unbearable contradictions

They had fire engines at the High School
We watched distant smoke rise from the shaggy lamps
Of the hills. The fires never reached us
For all we knew, they could have been the language
Of distant Indians, or the pyrotechnic opera
Of disillusioned youth.
Just this way on the roof of my self

not shrill demasculators

Hanging it to you, “careful it’s fragile

Wanting you to extend your arms, and take my heart in your
tender warm hands
it falls into a million shattered pieces,
on the floor it lands.Wanting you to bend down to pick it
up, sorrow and sadness I want to see in your heart apologies
