Long Change shape Poems

Three Ice-Dragons of Zaath, are faring South,
They strip the landscape barren of all Love.
Each holds a lifeless Champion in its mouth,
Each imitates the wolf, and mocks the Dove…

Beware their icy maws, their shepherds’ clothing,
For they...

Mum used to tell me
the bible contradicts itself
and that's true
but is it like a riddle 

waiting to be solved
the bible says 
God created man in his image
so God should look like a man

But then it...

I sat outside at end of day and watched the night close in.
A year had come; a year had gone, since death came for my friend.
The sadness so well known by now crept softly to...

As I was walking in the silence of the morning..
thinking of a friend who died…shedding a few tears…
I started thinking how my relationship with silence has changed over the years.

I have stood mesmerized…in a field…surrounded...

Rocky Mountain Thunder they call it
The unmistakable thunder and growl
of thousands of Harley's reverberating
through the highcountry fairgrounds,

I remember the mattress,
where you saw me asleep 
for the first time, where we held 
our breaths as friends passed my 
door, keeping our love a secret garden.
I remember the mattress,
where we lay lazily in...

The beautiful, stoned wall garden
sunlight and barren but for a single rose.
Gazing at the stem  which bore a rose of such beauty 
his breath was stolen.

As he stared, the stem dissolved,
and the rose floated...

A tire gets stuck in the mud,
the tread gets filled with soggy earth.
It may form a perfect circle, yes,
spinning in place for some time
and smoothing over into slick surface,
and for where it’s at, it’s what’s...

I was walking in the field that time
The maize leaves blinding my eyes,
Star thorns pricking my feet,
I could hardly find what we were looking for;
We kept on following our leader:
He is the one who had...

I'm lost inside a feeling
I thought had disappeared
In a state with a see through ceiling
With walls of pain and fear

The blueprint seemed to be flawless
From materials unknown to man
For those of us seeking solace
From a...

(a story in senryu stanzas)

I get migraines.
- lucky me - glare can set me
off within seconds.

I always have a
pair of dark, polarized shades
with me - it’s a quirk.

When I was fourteen,
we lived in Shenzhen, China

Does the moon have holes and why are they there?
It looks like it's been injured, but no one seems to care.

Does the moon have a face? Is it looking at me?
I don't really know. Tell...

Deep in the swamp on a full moon
Legend says a creature roams deep in the lagoon
Eyes red and glowing in the dark as he prowls
Even the alligators hide to the sound of his growls

I stood behind my deep breath 
with evidence sorrows leaking
from my eyes,
From next door a curious old 
poet
walk by with a tongue of 
questions
before I could reply he said       
"Don't drown yourself...

Through sources lightly/heavily identified over time
Sources that have unparalleled weight in the outcomes
Of your life

There has lived the greatest dictator
That has completely moved every sentient being

Do I see when I see?
Wonder sees curiously


Why is the sky so high?
Wonder sees in a sigh


Why does the moon change shape?
Wonder and awe cascade


Why does a rainbow arch?
Wonder sees beyond touch


Why do stars light...

I see two lovers kissing, one face missing,
a barking dog, a fallen log, a wheel cog,
a brandy glass, balloons like someone's arse
change shape when all things come to pass.

Pilgrim's progress, perspective roads, spotty toads,
a fencing...

A Warm and Windy Day

The flowers are dancing to and fro
with Maple limbs dipping and bowing low

Long grass flowing in jade green waves
as my canopy swing glides and sways

Birds float along on currents up high

I saw a dragon flying overhead
In fascination watched him flap his wings
Then suddenly, he was a thoroughbred
Whose smokey breath came out in giant rings

How gracefully clouds play as they change shape
At times it seems they...

Let me tell how is to be a cloud
They are lovely, I am lovely too
moving swiftly without a sound
when the sky is white and blue,
 
They are soft like cotton candy
going back and forth as...
