    spans the fetid stagnant pool

       where my dreams decay

(Gentle Summer Rain)

Listen to:
light pouring silver gray
enriched thoughts fall from the sky
complete path towards-
Blissful, Delighting Peace
small ceremonial rain dance.

Gentle therapeutic rain
on a warm summer day.
falls of heaven on my skin 
lovely healing memory
smiling tears 
embracing promise land
means of escaping
utopia in a cloud
Solace-

I fondle the brush strokes of a brown afternoon,
inviting me along, to the land of down under.
I will take a small journey, under gunmetal skies, 
through country as rough as the crackled veneer.

On the trail of the outback, while the afternoon sighs,
there are three saddled...

this was his chance
a picnic to seduce her
in the meadow
   where the last girl was buried
   he spread out the red blanket...

A gray and dreary sky was drawn this morn
though love was in my heart of hearts aglow,
as I called out to you, a rift was torn,
and through the rift, so silent, fell the snow. 
Ah, you have passed my heart, my love; I know,
a barefoot...

Picture Perfect 




Positioning round, global meltdown
Searching for that something not meant to be found

Conditioned we craze, our over populated phase
Why ask questions if the real issue you're scared to raise

Reflexive intuition on which status or position
Freedom to live our lives under certain strict conditions

Egotistically incorrect,...

The waters trickling under the
crossing bridge grows ever dormant

And on the one and only discernable
route into this village languishing beneath
there is a old rickety swinging sign that says

" Welcome to Eden "

We trust you enjoy your stay

Where the church choir in the district
can be muffled...

Though it was deceiving
Painted her into a lovely place
Me, myself believing
Adorned her dress, exquisite details
All of this for show
Beneath my ink, her life derails
No one will ever know...

The jagged edges

of her brokenness

fit the zig-zagged

lines of all the times

I fell and was

made whole again

My puzzle's

missing piece

Picture perfect

iodine on a scraped

knee, a sensation

captured by a gentle

breeze, sometimes

love is nothing

more than pain

being replaced

by a beautiful scar;

if you trace the

lines across

porcelain faces

do the cracks

in the facade

The sky presents kaleidoscope views
As the heavens display  many hues
On sunny days it is dressed in blue
But sets the sun with red and orange hues

On stormy days it dons a cloak of gray
As thunderous rumbles come our way
But once the storm  passes through

About a castle crowned with gleaming towers,
Young grass and budding trees announce the Maytime;
Above the mountain streams or blooming flowers,
The thrushes and the larks sing all the daytime.

There through the woods rove pairs of lad and maiden,
Each damsels' hair with flowers overladen:
One plays a harp...

Gracefully gliding, reaching you in sky,
Chasing all notes on air in sublime rhyme,
With shining leotard, my wish is to fly.

I feel every rhythm from time to time,
The sweet smiles lift every spirit so high, 
My magic fingers draw a paradigm.

Tiptoeing on the ice, so cold...
