Current Poems

Sailing with the current

Bittersweet falls the moonless night
when perfumed whispers ride the westward breeze
~ sails find their way home

You And I

In blue water I'm going down
swept away by the tide all sense left behind
in dark waters I might drown
caught in the current out of my mind
holding my breath and hoping
my love for you will stand the test of time
out of my depth and hanging on
for the day you say you are mine
in over my head

Current

in every river
the current shows the best way
        love is my current

Current War

A lightbulb conjures Edison 
but shines on another,   
relevant
in the war of currents, (1)
that another player sparked -  
vastly intelligent. 
It would be the world's fate
to have its current alternate, 
and, too, Tesla spared the elephant. (2)

Believe in me,
Because you cannot be
Alone in your thoughts.
A lie might make true what is not!

Be feared, be scared,
Be ware of what I am.
A love, a warm drain,
Along will wash your filthy brain…

And because I am one of you,
I know every one of you.
I know just what to do!
And I know this too:
  

Inseperable?

you and I, I would say, are
inseparable. My dear, we built
Bridges of solid stone that
hold us together. Even in the
floods, if the concrete is
submerged, I can swim safely
to you. You are the safety pin
attached to my clothes, and you
hold me tightly together.

but I fear, my love, that you
don't feel the same. I see

Stop Thinking!

The 2nd Trump Presidency Begins

To express my own Whitmanesque
"barbaric yawp", constrained by
internal (and external) barriers,
mentally constipated, I merely mutter,
feel pressures steadily mounting.
Hesitant, I expel grunts and breaths --
disinhibit streams of consciousness,
encourage verbal fluidity, ease
the heaviness I feel, the weight
upon my chest.  I breathe deeply.
Physiological processes require
tiring conscious effort.  I decide
to be calm, to

The Rivers Current

There I was bobbing up and down trying to keep afloat or I would surely drown, thinking of all the things I should have done and what I disallowed.  The water was deep and this I know cause I couldn't touch the ground. The current was very strong because it had just rained. I

Ashes, Ashes

Ashes, Ashes, Flames all around
And remnants of our lives are scattered
Upon the crackling, smoking ground.

Our hopes and dreams buried in the rumble,
Lost are the things that we thought measured our lives.
Nothing left but our memories.  It cuts like a knife.

We trusted our treasure, our futures, our dreams
Into the hands of a criminal who is

Alternating Current

A very bad alternating current who

zaps has a 
great aptitude for

Into The Current Of Sleep

-------------
There is a certain quiet in watching you 
  sleep
That’s not unlike the  flow
Of observing a river's movement,
As it slowly bends its way down
Past morass and ferns on the  coast
To somewhere new and heretofore 
  unknown--
 	
The current, steady rhytmn of your 
  breath
Circles through an unconscious world,
Bringing you respite
