Long Blue air Poems

"Exegesis"



At 7 he was 
thrown to the wolves

Bede marked his territory
hidden secrets 
kept in the abbey

he escaped
went to war
where the unwanted trod

First regiment,
Vietnam
he took with him
like a comfort blanket
his Nicene creed and God

and on returning...

Integrity warriors
are not allowed to raise our sacred voices
even against defiant children,
and defeated adolescents,
and immature monoculturish adults

Much less could we therapeutically self-justify
shouting out against WiseElder
matriarchal baptismal waters
remembering DNA's healthiest cooperative birthing
and thrival
matriarchal/patriarchal
yin/yang 
Integrity/Love Origins

Quietly
Mundanely replanting...

the raspy whisper

finally
 
gets my full attention -
wistfully I smile
..for its persistence reminds me of you..

the crisp red leaf 
scuttles scrapingly
across the gray pavement
to and fro 
like a dancing crab
moving with the whims of the...

R a i n ~ a misted mirror
coated in petrichor pain ~
fused with memories
pirouetting through the
veiled salt of the earth,
caressing the Pina Colada dreams
adrift in the icy-blue air,
amidst clouds soaked
in prismatic hues ~
arching like opalescent...

This is perhaps the most powerful day, 
early spring giving way to the main course, 
the trees hastily bursting their buds, 
blooming in reds, oranges and yellows - 
the reflection of the opposite season, 
now...

Fall is getting prompt for its chilly main part.
Spread each leaf until the forest floor is strewn.
Joined by bright leaves waving to the summer's past.
Differing old layouts, and not a trice too soon!

Spread each leaf...

The highlight of my Alaskan vacation was a singular
unexpected breach of a humpback whale.

A fresh aroma of the winter roses bore upon
The break of the day light, the first ray hold upon
By the droplets beaded over the floral leaf
Mulled over by the sight so mimetic
The life glazed over...

She was beautiful,ever so graceful, sitting in the Zen garden,
In the quietude evening of summer,painting a mural,
Art is her muse,as she herself looks like art,a precious and priceless one,

Her eyes shine like gems,so pure,so white,but...

Somewhere in a spring time of the day
in a velvet shadow of memories
I played music to the guitar of the wind.
You were the song that I am singing
You were the words that I have written
In...

To avoid the pale blue pain hue
I do not visit the river shore any more
If I do sometimes by chance
One by one
Our spent moments
Both closed and open
Come in a long bluish queue
And in the snow...

Fairy kings, dryads
 in the labyrinths of nightfall
fill children’s heads with dread.
They walk hushed, their pockets full of bread

Bewitched these children bring
elusive, unthinkable thoughts,
of wings that flitter in aqua tints,
perch a silver instant on nodding...

Christmas Hope

I was sitting and thinking how love would be nice
considering this world cold and callous as ice.
Then quite suddenly out of the crystal blue air
came a feeling of warmth as if someone did care.

Someplace...

On the roof top the dandelion grows,
It does not even mater if it snows!
Neither wind, nore rain 
Can cause her any pain!

Come all, boys and girls,
Let’s take a breath and blow.
I can promise you this,

Over the fruitful forests, I saw the trees
I hoofed over sleet, slush, ice, rain n' snow
On my any which way journeys
Wandering kookily at the yearn of heaven's glow

I bear on my back a bodily spirit...

My basket lifts from ground; I, eager, stand
inside it as I drift into blue air.
I see below - the slowly shrinking land,
above my head, a giant yellow pear.

She takes me high, and as I’m looking...

Once we were a world apart,
we wrote daily,
they were just the usual love letters,

but now I see clearly
they were statements
to affirm we were still here
in this wide world,
still lonely; making time
to physically lift a pen,
to...

Wish I was somewhere else today
I ain't partic'lar where
Maybe upon a mountain top
Breathin' that cool blue air

Or I could fish a mountain stream
Catch me a big fat trout
Maybe wander to Galveston
Get a sunburn, no doubt

When  butterflies float downward like a leaf
As air of Autumn dances everywhere
Whispers of wings become a bright motif
Floating, drifting, wandering on blue air.

Scents of cinnamon whisper treats to come
As wondrous woodsmoke warms us from...

Heaven's furry sheep
Grazing the light atmosphere
Bares blue the sky's bloom

Clouds were made to weep
Not paint portraits on blue air
Trees without perfume

The virtual sea
These Jason's sail, hides nothing
Except death's surprise

The eyes graze the deep
Visions of the...

We need a black shiny piano
a golden Sax,
a smoky mind drinking blue air.

Outside a mythical speak-easy
train wrecks are on a loop.
The green dollar of a once green dream
has become a sickly chihuahua
on life-support.

Here in this...

Spiral power, fluid run
the groan of the earth has just begun
Winds cusp the gulf against her will
Shoulders of land in brine distill
Creaking of Creole, tip of the tin
Southern sky whipping about to begin
Silent French Quarters,...

Ink black liquid shadows
pour across the lawn.
In blue air
cats glide in and out of moonbeams,
slip into pools of darkness –
disappear.

Barn owl
ghostly white night angel
swoops –
plummets – soars
and in its claws –
a captured mouse.

Somewhere a baby...
