Awakes Poems

Spring awakes

Spring Awakes

Robin

Maternal builders
Patiently gather debris
Fragile wombs of blue


Cherry Tree 

Blushing pink petals
Tossed in my path with shy love
Nature's flower girl



Budding Beauty

Nourished by warm sun 
Buds awaiting deep within
Icy tree limbs melt

Beneath the Pages Written a Great Horror Awakes

I clasp my hands upon the cheeks of a sinful man's cheeks defenestrate him as he flies in the sky away from the house he was cast out of only for me to feel dysentery my belly opens up.  From the protruding from my belly, a tumor with an almost human face vomiting serpents

The House Awakes

The morning stroll from room to room
Photos and paintings adorn the walls
Smile and stop, family groups, happy and sad
The camera captures good and bad

My laughter rings out, memories surface
Weddings and celebrations captured on film
Moments in time, thoughts drift elsewhere
Faces so lifelike include those no longer here

Say a greeting then move on
Study paintings, such amazing detailed

Inner Polarity Awakes

Inner polarity awakes
Senses five, higher mind
Power of bliss magnetism shakes
Releasing ego's bind

Silence shows us the way
How we may cease to sway
Making earth life mere play

Love in love with love, each breath stakes
Inner polarity awakes

Dawn Awakes

Autumn's moon truly radiant and playful, 
    In a stippled and midnight blue hues.

  Fragile is the troth with nature. 
    Falling, trembling, withered leaves, 
      Drift throughout gravel beneath; 
        Dapple shadow cast across the

The Body Awakes

The body awakes, another day of life 
Message sent, who is in charge? 
I am, I am, loud and strong 
Logical thinking needs a chance. 

Who is first in the queue? 
Is it touch or is it sight? 
Think it through 
No need to fight. 

The brain sits there smiling, 
Nothing can happen 
Unless permission

River Awakes

Dry River awakes
                              Angrily raging down stream
                   

A Brain Awakes

a brain awakes
gains 200 pounds
sheds a 20 year old ghost

before it awoke
it opened doors
ground beans
percolated morning coffee
kissed an ex-wife goodbye
as it left for the future

…it had dreamed
too early

meanwhile
a bug is swimming in a toilet bowl

the bug wonders
if it can safely leave you
sleepwalking through the rest
of the day

you go sit out on the decking
blink in and

Forest Haiku

silent forest sleeps
misty river bends timeless
dawn awakes anew

Graying Darkness Awakes the Night

Graying darkness awakes the night; 
       Nimbus reflecting restless sea. 
          Beyond implausible horizon sight.

   Graying darkness awakes the night 
      Unattainable utmost breadth height,

Love Within Awakes

As we gently sway
to the inner sound current
Love within awakes!

When we hold her hand
in rapture of tenderness
Love within awakes!

Nonjudging embrace
by simply being present
Love within awakes!

Forgiveness total
as the child in us does play
Love within awakes!

Inner outer same
there being no subterfuge
Love within awakes!

As we celebrate
is-ness of eternal now
Love within awakes!

Autumn Awakes

Autumn Awakes

Rustling ochre, crimson leaves all daylong,
A coolness settles, shorter days advanced,
Easterlies, westerlies, tradewinds strong,

Southward birds fly, so parts summer birdsong,
Mid leaves lay spiked beech, acorn--care enhanced,
Rustling ochre, crimson leaves all daylong,

Sweetness in brambles flourished berries throng,
Black, elder, wild rasp--touched tastebuds danced,
Easterlies, westerlies, tradewinds strong,

Favored spots, here and there, all

A Brain Awakes

A brain awakes,
sheds 200 pounds.

Before the brain awoke
it dreamed
that it opened doors,
ground beans,
percolated morning coffee.
It realizes that it had dreamed
far too early.

Meanwhile, the awake brain
is a bug swimming in a toilet bowl,
and it wonders
as it drowns,
if you will sleepwalk
through the rest
of this
long day.

A Brain Awakes

A brain awakes
and sheds 
five hundred pounds of sky.

The brain dreams-
it opens a door
walks through it,
grinds beans,
percolates coffee.

It realizes it is way too early.
Now it may or may not
slip back into a tar pit
on the far side 
of the moon.
