Failure...Ha!

Some crumble at the breath of a wind or sudden drop of rain.Plucking false joys,or snorting 
ounces of pain.Because of ones dreams no more can see,failure is taken as decree.See in 
this life you may not know,you win,lose,pass,fail,die..or u chose to grow.So with this most 
are left bound in the worlds sins,only to stop and think then...Look what ive become take a 
look at me now,crying and analyzing their life avow.Not knowing what is an obstacle but an 
excersize,ment to build u stronger as you rise?So as for i myself and me....failure will never 
be.And why settle for comfort when i am free?So i will fly and defy above every eye,and 
when it is my time oh...i will shine!Thru every joy and pain my light will be seen.On every 
mountain top,upon every hillside.And as my light shines through the trees...i will dance!my 
victorious rhythm upon the clouds of eternity.

The Light Switched On!

I celebrate no light switched off,
I celebrate no ragged cough,
But sing, I do, the men of mind,
And I myself, who am not blind.
I sing the pride of happy wealth---
That light-foot walk of free men's health
When, with chains of tyrants cast away,
Promethean minds invent and play.
They lighten loads and brighten night,
They make the wings of length'ning flight,
They shake up songs to which we dance,
That light-foot walk may full enhance,
Then smooth our throats with meds upon
To celebrate the light switched on!

R.I.P Till Someday Meets Forever

From all tomorrows
you’ve been erased,
and all of our sorrows
drip to your lovely face


A light that was lit with forever
as mornings hand past twelve,
left this plain with the ferryman 
in forever your light does delve


At first a shocking numbness
gripped us to the bone,
knowing that in the night
your spirit had off and flown


As tendrils of soul reach heaven
St Peter shall answer the door,
showing the way to forever
in the lights of golden floors


A rainbow of confetti will shower
to celebrate you coming home,
and we on the earth forgive you
for wandering afar to roam


A slice of life has slipped away
and submerged in I Am’s hold,
we will weep in your memory
our arms are gripped to fold


Fighting off that feeling
of emptiness inside,
remembrance is the key
to a place that calms the mind


—-


Deep breath


When you come again
will it be as gentle breeze?,
or will it be as rolling waves
and in the splashing of the seas


Could a gentle lark
alight upon a tree,
singing with a soul fullness
as ether-ed wings spread free


And as the moon in night
will you shine upon our face,
and as the Savior holds
with your presence he is graced
,
And as I silently cry
till a body jitters and it shakes,
and I’m wondering why 
it was your soul that he did take


Please save a pair of wings
stained in Neon hues,
we’ll be the funniest Angels 
and all of heaven will laugh blue


Its always at goodbye
that I startle like a doe,
but I will say we love you 
till someday we meet aglow


So wait for me in tomorrow
with a sparkle in your eye,
I’ll bring you news of home
and on neon wings we’ll fly


And now I’ve said these words
I shall slowly fall apart,
knowing that your gone
is ripping at my heart


………………………………………………………Rip,till someday meets Forever


For My Kids Nana who Passed on the 30th October 2009


For James Fraser On His Birthday

When creation opened her arms you were there, 
From the beginning we two at the making of the tear, 
The leaving of the womb, but I shall not decline the joy of birth, 
I come to your celebration, light swaddled, seeding the earth
Sunrise blew out the candle of the stars, lit the sea gold
And turn the heart to bird wings in the cage of our soul
I know your are dancing to the same beat as I
The light dances too upon the canvas of your eye
And I dance, breaking the chains of space and time
And the earth sings on, piping your birth and love sublime.

Luminescence (Repost)

...dedicated to Hart Crane (1899-1932)


From dark to light transfusing in a flash,
your silver-sequined mystery
that breathes new electricity,
it shines where none has shone before,
this trembling luminescence,
through waves refracted with your sheen
yet shows no movement readily,
no broken sea reveals your rippled hand.

Layer on layer endlessly,
the waves preclude all semblance of your face,
and roll, so indeterminate their swell,
that light cannot quite penetrate the gloom;
and sun and stars no energy can gather
to clarify your loveliness for me.
Yet in the dusk your light still lingers, 
bright and undeniable, the mystery
still haunts my dreams and will for evermore.

Until I walk with you in light once more.

Luminescence

Luminescence

...for Hart Crane

 

From dark to light transfusing in a flash,

your silver-sequined mystery

that breathes new electricity,

it shines where none has shone before,

this trembling luminescence,

through waves refracted with your sheen

yet show no movement readily,

no broken sea reveals your rippled hand.

 

Layer upon layer endlessly,

the waves preclude all semblance of your face,

and roll, so indeterminate their swell,

that light cannot quite penetrate the gloom;

and sun and stars no energy can gather

to clarify your loveliness for me.

Yet in the dusk your light still lingers, 

bright and undeniable, the mystery

still haunts my dreams and will for evermore.

 

Allow me to be by your side once more.
