Chaotic SilenceInspire me....
Even as I attempt this
Iambic nonsense
How can silence,
Emanate from chaos:
It's direct opposite?
A pure contradiction of concept...
Crashing, cascading.......
In a metaphoric ambiance of emotions,
Anger infused like an avalanche of...

MarsRed planet in the dark,
Iron Oxide lights your spark.
In search of great, there is not much greater,
then the planet of valleys, deserts and craters.

but, in fact, are storms...

Skimming StonesLooking down I can see
so many different possibilities
wondering which I shall pick

will it fit in my fingers just right

Expends its tidal force
Pounding down upon sea pebbles
With thud and smash so coarse

Dimly ribbed it clasps the shallowing shadow
Growing pale from black with...

Portal To the SouthI miss you, already
Your rough beauty
How you pretend to be wild
Being already postmodern.
The swings in your mood
Welcoming and repelling me,
Caressing me, bringing me down.
Your invitations to dive into sins
Gluttony, sloth, lust and death -
When in...

Lost At SeaOut at sea on the flimsy raft
My Zorro mask and Tarzan pants can't help
Used only to wipe my brow under the punishing sun
I lost them too after a while by a crashing wave
What could be...

Kindly Inclining(In the 17th century, when thinkers
were first getting to grips with gravity,
they named it "kindly inclining".)
Seeds adrift on water

Dry spruce branches smoking and crackling
Glowing coals cooking steaks in a fire
Above the crashing...

Lake SuperiorLake Superior
Strong- shouldered waves crested
the rocks below Split Rock Lighthouse
with frothering glee-
happy to be home among the orange-lychen,

Adding numbers on fire
Stars burning in the night
Lightning chiseling basalt stones
Statues speaking to fight the tides
Thunder hunting a pruning fork
Eliot staring at Mars descent
Venus is dancing in his lap.
Volcanoes bringing mountains down
Fighting whales eating caviar

Ruins of civilization with columns,
Calming wind and heat haze - solemn
Olives clinging to...
