Premium Member When Sunset and Stars Shine on Sacred Ground a collaboration with Susan Ashley
My love, let us live this paradisal evening
dressed in wispy clouds of red
and tailored in strips of orange embellishing the horizon
where shades and shadows embrace your face
as the last glimmer of daylight falls
leaving a raptured sky of coral pink and red
enhancing your beauty in the...

The Elegant Eagle and Watchful Wolf
My soul surrenders and soars like the elegant eagle
As my mind melds of the wolves wildly witted
Experiencing mother earth thru the eye of the needle
Frolicking forests as is perceptually permitted

The eagle explores over the running raging river
Thru eagle eyes I see the rivers enchanted edge
The...

Premium Member Timeless
Softly beckoning chirps decorate the air
While love birds spin in romantic dizzies
Careless directions, being lost without a care 
All maps lead to the heart of the matter

Wakening streams cry over a beauteous spring
Water itself contributes for the love of flowers  
With boldness and buoyancy...

Light of Heaven
Light of Heaven

~~~

Oh light of heaven, lifting light of mine
In early seven, I felt your salient shine
Thru windows pane, and morning mist
Within love of radiant reign, you did exist
~~~
Surrounding showers with luminescence
Admits paradisal powers until adolescence
Lyrical living light of magical morning sun
With squinting eyesight, thy...

Premium Member Irrational Numbers, With Lyrics
The number of folks sitting
on the back porch
waiting
for peace to strike,
like waiting for my garden to grow
without yet having planted it.

The number of people
noticing that chronic victims
suffer from critical victimization events,
minus the number who also notice
that chronic crimers
also suffer from critical
criminalization
events.

The number of people
horrified by...

Just a Thought
Never to such lofty order have I treasured company.
Yet the promise of your presence grants a peace so true to me. 
I wonder if you’re conscious of the medicine you bring.
My wounded form is desperate to hear you laugh and sing.

The thought of you is...

Malign Nascence
When I chance to meet the lifeless streets
The darkness brightens my individuality,
With the weeping breeze that passes over
The onliness ceases my verity.
I come to know myself as a shipwrecked survivor 
The illusionism forebodes my ingenuity,
Being with the eluded moonlit that hide behind
The secrecy revives my...

Legend
Nearby, drained, workaday faces pass by:

Working people with working class woe:

Faces bent in suffering, near hopelessness, made indiscriminate rue.


But turn on the car radio as the people pass by within earshot:

Music escaping from the radio,

Like the paradisal bird escaping from the

Proverbial gilded cage:

The otherworldly, mesmerisingly...

Halfway To a Dream
It lurks there, fitfully
around the corner of my mind
and will not show its face
like an April thunderfront, and
scarce aware that winter slipped away
a week ago behind a cloud of consciousness,
reluctantly occludes the air with nebulosity,
a shy Olympus in denial.

It moves within my chest, a void
creating...

In Another Time
A pencil, sheets of paper, a keyboard and a frown,
the relics of an author who would one day wear a crown. 

So many days there are in store; one would surely think, 
that anything is possible, that one could be the link,

to worlds of fathomless...

Premium Member Almost Xanadu
Beyond boundaries, beyond humdrum of human race,
Beyond provinces mundane, among mysteries of space,
There is a realm of thriving wonderment, an idyllic place,
A place of peace and goodwill, hosting heavenly grace,

Where pavements glittering gold beautify every street
Surrounding ornate, walled, mega-mansions of elite,
Where people garbed in fabled...

Angelic Notes In the Rain
Angelic Notes in the Rain


Heavenly harps in the rain, as melodic minstrels cascade
Vibrations cast away the pain, as the air rings in their aid
Symphonic strings sustain, for they do wash away our sins
We celebrate and attain, for the harp’s healing thus begins

Each note a soothing...

paradisal
        unity
in a
  circular 
      round dance
faraway
       looks
in
metamorphosis
of
illusion
of the
   ephemeral
