"Azure Vistas"

Azure vistas presented themselves to me
rolling inwards the clouds like tumbleweeds
mercilessly bump fallen angels off the map
like torrents of rain falling petulantly on blunt contracts

I glimpsed the sweet refrain of a resurrection
swift upon a...

The Job

I got a plane to catch in the morning.  8:15 AM out of Austin, destination Orange County, CA.  Never cared much for California and I don’t think anything about this trip is...

Since childhood I was always fascinated with nature
Curious to know how plants grow 
Always intrigued by the ingenuity of ants 
And mesmerized by the coordination 
And spectacular tactics of birds. 

Birds come in different colors...

Dragon is such an adorable and, yes, kindhearted, dear, little soul.
But he has a few, very, important lessons, that he has yet to learn.
Like what he can do to help our the birdies, we feed...

Decades of a formula that only he knew about it and drew,
Cascades of his artwork came to a head in his last years,
Glissades of a swan in a lake that only a handful had seen,
Tirades...

Through this road of sorrow i walk in pains
Looking up to the gathering cloud of 
Thunderous rain 
Downcast.

ANOTHER TITANIC

A wounded ship.
A worried crew.
Frightened  passengers.
No way out.

A frightened herd
stumbling about,
panic in their eyes,
panic in their hearts.

Four musicians stand alone.

“Play something lively.” the leader calls,
“A tune we played before...

for the dreams that never came true...)

2. unlocked my gun,
3. cocked slowly, silently...

is a beautiful fantasy, for some hold lies

masked in sheep's clothing as a disguise

Monkey Eating Figs

There was a monkey on my back eating figs,
Screaming, cursing as sunlight hit its beady eyes,
Slowly this thought came to my sleepy head,
Be calm, let the beast finish its meal
For even imaginary beasts...

More is so much more
More than creation could have to offer
The better we can do
If we meddle and then we tamper
Make it better it will be BIGGER

THERE beneath the muscle mass
The egg yolk recombinant pale...

All the traps are set in motion
Angels Scream, Demons Roar, and society drowns in emotion
Carried away by Legal Eagles, their claws digging in
Look at what you did today, look at what you've created

We can sit in its meadows and watch for a while,
And remember how beauty can rise from the earth
When rainbow wings rise from a butterfly birth,
In a...

Heart feels the trend as yet unseen.

Mind follows heart to feel the cause.


Start and end here as end finds start,

HE WISHED HER TO BE MORE RESPECTFUL
A WELL MANNERED PERSON

SHE TOOK CATTLE FROM BARNS...
