Long Absolves Poems

All this long week
of early spring head colds
our National Public Radio informants
and performers,
speakers and listeners,
have been about the business of raising capital investments
preferably in their corporate direction,
to support further public broadcasting
for the benefit of our...

Once within our time,
SkyPrince and SunGod talk,
as usual,
endlessly actually,
sending their radiant messages
out toward mutually gravitating receivers,
no Yins allowed to pitch;
just catch integrative flow.

SkyPrince wonders if SunGod might consider turning down his heat,
and wanders aloud as...

You may say that I’m crazy,
Deny I’m a Christian,
But I say our lives are just what we have chosen,
Though my logic seems hazy
And message seems Faustian,
If stuck, you should think if you want to be...

Choose Me.
I sit here upon this darkened sill.
Dust my meadow,cobwebs my forest.
Waiting for you to draw near.
I long for you to become my Master,
-and I your plaything.

Hold Me.
Wrap your fingers on my fiber woven flesh.
Mold...

Officer, I’m here to turn myself in 
"What did you do? Start at the beginning."
I didn’t do anything, 
Negligence is my sin 
I was walking the street with my friend 
We saw young men lurking...

She renders me unstable,
A force too wild to cradle.
Her laughter cascades,
Like untamed hair upon my chest,
Each word a dagger, sharp and true,
Yet she is my unbridled joy, my undoing too.

She throws her head back,
And my...

One, waiting at the outpost prison on the shore,
Two, atop the soundless ship across the bay
and nearly to the open sea, 
both still in sight and bound as one
to the relentless motherland of Spain.

"Words uttered in anger can weigh heavy on the heart,

He stumbles on the subway
Initially I cringe
I'm put off by the way he smells
From alcoholic binge

He mumbles incoherent
I start to feel ashamed
I slide my hand in my front pocket
Fumbling for some change

But I don't think...

Thankful for my creator I praise Her nobody's greater,
The hidden denominator a mystical commentator,
I'm wishing to find Her later I'm traveling slowly but surely,
Learning lessons I'm purely a child of God She assured me,
She'll save...

In my cupboard life
creeps
a living mannequin
The deception:
no acceptance
and tepid;
a biological kind
Gaia prevails
while I fall
into disarray
Bid thee-
make me whole

Whisperin winds
by my bed declare:
"Always pay
the price
today"

Grandeur on stiletto
Tis' the blade,
not the shoe
that offers escape
Yet,
preference falls to-
the leathery...

Enterprising Henry IV declares suzerainty over state
Xenophobic princes seek the royal prerogative to abate
Cautious king uses diplomacy, threats his minions to subjugate
Old rivals in Saxony Henry's consolidation with tyranny equate
Morose princes in the hinterland seek...

To enjoy an upstart is quite easy in art,
You just have to let go, and enjoy their mistakes!
Is it foolish to scheme, does a snail even dream?
Does a lightning bug know, that a spark's all...

Negativity ensnares you,
Whispering its deadly tune,
Caressing your doubts,
Coaxing your spirit,
Muffling the light,
Captivating your addiction 

Entranced within the melody,
Absorbed into the lyrics,
Deafened by the volume,
Feel the rhythm 

Repetition binds you,
Spreading its infectious beat,
Enticing your habits,
Exhausting your...

What Works!

My (art?) is not to compliment myself whenever I write rhymes!
And often I reveal a loss that I would leave behind.
I love to share with one like you who's stuck with me when times

Silent Holy Night


In a manger in Bethlehem
Were three strangers, looking for a bed

There was a star above
Bright and holy
Guiding the three wise men
On camels they rode slowly

In a stable behind the Inn
There was that miracle...

Sitting in church at night,
She wondered at her plight.
Asked God why me?
Reason I don't see.

What is the purpose of life?
Why it is full of strife?
Why are we born on earth?
Why of miseries there is no...

Ode to a canvas print

Background: a sullen sky, pale 
light at horizon. Green-water sea 
of snowcapped swells, hint of 
nightfall in the breaking waves. 

Foreground: a bivouac of logs stand 
watch, side by side like...

I speak to the wind
And the wind speaks to me
I whisper its name
And its name sets me free

I spread out my arms
Like a flesh crucifix
And it lifts me up high
It, becoming my wings

I whisper my...

Life is beautiful, a complex collage
of memories
Epiphanies arise while deep in thought
observing the energy
They come to me when I'm flowing like
rivers & channels
We're interdimensional & forever fluid just
surfing channels
We're meant to be more than basic
embracing...

Letting the wind flow from her hands for a chime

The breeze soothes calloused palms in the storm

Reaches out for seagull’s wings and mellow prayer

Weaves its flight into solace at this moment in time


Moving the sand...

Seashell
as I take shape
i lie here in wait 
the wind beating
upon my back
my image carved out 
by gritty sands of
life
i feel my grooves;
their hardness
i get smoothed over
by the warm sun
but  jagged edges
still remain
not as...
