Natural Order

That diamondback with turquoise eye
Beneath the copper colored sky
Is best left there alone to lie
Aware of ev'ry passerby
Commanding it's respect

But lofty prowling also reigns
If not supreme its threat remains
So vigilance is what maintains
The losses equal to the gains
This delicate balance to protect

Each predator will become prey
When stars of night find stars of day
The system was designed that way
To keep the intellect at bay
That would upset that order

LIke most designs it has its flaws
For those who don't respect its laws
And seek to fill rapacious jaws
Displaying disrespectful maws
Which grin within disorder

The snake that lies in plastic grass
The raptor’s flight through prismal glass
Are visions meant not but to pass
As though they were but sheen on frass
Only useful when they’re rent asunder

Philosophers are left to ponder
Why nature would allow this wander
'Tween balance here, disorder yonder
Peacemakers struggle… troublemakers squander
Ill-gotten gains, their rotten plunder

Amor meus

At this point we're hovering between addiction and insanity
LOVE IS CRAZY! 
Atleast that's what she says... that's before I light another one
Our affair is fragile
Matters of the heart need patience, sometimes all they need is sex... Whatever it is,
 I'll be at peace if it's with her
There's a fragrance about her 
The scent of our first date, 
My cologne fighting her defiant perfume
The first time I willingly let her take my breath away
you know you're in love when you start to heal from the wounds waged by your past lovers,
I'm a man of many vices
I'm nonchalant on Mondays, arrogant on Tuesdays, For the rest of the week I just don't care anymore
At this point I love her a little more than Adam loved eve
I've searched and I've searched
Time and again
Beneath the sun and above the soil
For the warmth I lost in my mother's womb
She's five foot six, copper colored skin and smiles like she's on salary to do so
And if she was to have a child without me..... 
I would easily be a stepfather.

Thy Twilight Eyes

Moon fading with judgment;
Golden auras encompass around.
Flowers spring from the ground;
Leaving lovely lilies to arise,
Enchanted by thy twilight eyes.

The sun-kissed foxes whimper
And the star-dazed fae's whisper.
Autumn leaves cascade adrift the creeks,
Being kind to the copper-colored disguise,
Granted to suit thy twilight eyes.

The seas of blue couldn't compare
To the tranquil force you declare.
So raise your head of somber cries,
And be grateful of thy twilight eyes.

Late Summer Storm

late summer storm

copper colored swirls
 silver leaves signal whirlwinds ~
  ochre flowers sway

platinum cloud ships
 race sails full of crystal squalls ~
  bronze waves of sunset

sterling sunrise dawns
 sunlight shining in white gold ~
  steel hued storm escapes

 green leaves suddenly silver 
  sallow ochre shades

Whirlwind

Life becomes a whirlwind
As I feel like the copper colored leaves
All tumbling through the air
I reach up to the vast blue skies,
Still smiling at the sun for being here today
Wishing for relaxing time or just to run and play
Where all is quiet and I am free
My heart wants to go faster than me
So, I try to slow down the beat with images
Of the sprawling white clouds above the hill
Those waiting to capture orange and pink colors
Of the sunset through the trees, for me to see
So then, my mind will be at ease

This Clear Day

I walk through the wind and sun on this clear day
Thoughts slide from my mind and easily slip away
A copper colored butterfly, flies by, swooping, dipping
It makes me feel joy inside, like I could carry on skipping
The acorns have fallen onto the pavement of the street
I am careful not to slip on them too, rolling under my feet
     --- Days like these are so special to have fun ---
        --- In all the beauty that nature has spun ---

Caliente

I will die intoxicated
by the poison of sweet lies
falling from your cheating lips...
ah...
how well they lie...

when they touch me whispering
and drink me slowly
stirring storms
on my warm and quiet shores, mi amor

nights turn into days
days grow longer and golden
encounters are pampered on exotic beaches
in realms reached only by boat

women with breasts burned by endless summers
wink at you
sipping colorful margaritas  
seagulls break the mirrored surface 
with hungry beaks and sharp screams

samba rumba bachata merengue
ay ay ay Latin American fiesta

round hips sway under hot hands
corazones salvajes smolder in copper-colored chests

and your lips keep lying to me 
etching hot petals on my thighs
awakened from the tropical drowsiness 

(hanging from the crescent moon
and baptizing the verse with tequila
a mariachi prays endearingly	
Dios mio
give me days to die 
and nights to rise again
una y otra vez)

Copper Penny

A COPPER PENNY


The significance of a copper penny…
It’s part of our heritage
Being raised in the copper mining area
Of Ruth, Nevada
Fathers and brothers worked for
The Kennecott Copper Mining Corporation
Both abhorred and sacrificed for
It was a job
The dirt was copper colored
There was no gazebo
No water
No arboretum
The only wish made was for the bell
At the end of the day
Men
Working
Sweating
Crying
Dying
The copper colored beer with elbowed sleeves
On copper tile
Laborers draught 
The copper penny
The juke box
Seen in the dance of the copper leaves in fall
Twenty and thirty years on
It’s not gold
An entirely different color
The copper leaves rake sweetness layered
Pilings high 
Dancing in the breeze
A “Little” Fugue in G Minor
The Classical Power
Given by Time-Life living divided
Spent
Leaving
Wondering where it is
The beauty, the color, the penny

Kara

summer had slipped away
but the days still had sunshine clinging to the fading trees
and 'neath one such white picket fence copper colored oak
she lay in the cool cool shade
with the magic of her momentary grace
with the delicate beauty of her face
and gave me back all my summer days
wrapped up in one of her smiles

we ran hand in hand in winter fishing town
we had been laughing sweetly over some nonesuch thing
and our joy was a beauty to behold
could have warmed the world with the love laughter shared
with the heat of the hearts beating
with the magic of her momentary grace
all the delicate and lovely beauty of her face

winters eve
found her in my arms
never could have known just what
wonderful things the world can hold
till you find yourself in the gift of loves tender kiss
could have warmed the world
with all i found in her tender eyes
we made our way back to our white picket fence oak
now bare with winters hand
stood neath her spread branches
kissing in the moonlight
her momentary grace
and all her sweet beautiful face
could warm the world with her heart
even on winters eve

(for my friend Kara, whom could warm the world)

Whispering Memories

whispering memories of times ago
when days seemed slow to me.
I feel a fugue a solemn mood,
a deep sad cut in the nights copper colored
fabric born on a lazy breeze.
I cannot smile can,t chance the while,
can,t see the where,
only feel that there was more to see, 
but then i just forgot.
Forgot to know the where to go,
yes i just forgot.

Scye By the Bye

Jay:  
I can not see the stars in the city;
But they can see me.
I can see the brightest ones;
So they can still guide me.
So it doesn't matter;
I know they are still out there.
Even if the sky is covered with clouds;
They are copper colored clouds that still light my way.
And will never leave me in the dark.

My eyes hold light.

Stu:
So close yet so far;
So bright in a galaxy of darkness;
Glitter on the canvas of the cosmos;
Each spec, a speck;
Colossal size;
For light to meet our eyes;
Where even the biggest,
Has no comparison in size;
Big or tall,
Bright enough to be seen by all.

Jay:
Our eyes hold light.

For the Love of Insouciance

(English version)

He possessed the air of indifference
However, his appearance was quite debonair
Many young ladies hearts fell
To the sabotage, of his indifference
Oh, how their hearts did pine.
Until, finally the lass caught his eye,
Copper colored were her limbs
A peach glow, to her blushing cheeks
Teeth of pearly white…
Eyes as black as the darkest coals,
Hair soft as that of raven’s down
Bound by silken threads of gold,
Upon her beauty he could not frown…
His heart stood as a suitor bound;
His passion burning, as he desired a sweet kiss 
From her ruby red lips…
His thoughts were displayed 
And then dejected by she, 
Oh, what a travesty…
For it seems that, he had sought 
The love of Miss Insouciance

Through a Sea of My Dreams

The still tide passing
Red waves suddenly awaken
Against a golden hymn

I swam over a changing moment,
I am as a red-copper colored rose

A child, still hoping, in the delicious sea
Filled with dreams…

Smaller, yet found worthy of the sun,
As each heart-shaped petal spreads,
I am found, rolling in the brass-blue rays of dawn …

Cool is the depths of the sky and sea
Still I am I, soft to the touch and strong of will,
Gathering no stone unturned, searching still…

The one thing I am wondering
Can I still feel if I should see him---?
Standing there singing, 
With love in the heart of dawn
