Oak
"Oak"
The guardians
stood around and
shook their heads
great thoughts
quivering
from the ground, roots up,
as if to walk
confidently
with great armies
yet hesitation
was witnessed
in their waving gestures
perplexed
and touching
green crowns,
there they...

Soul Stance River - 11
Suddenly, two Indian boys throw themselves into the water like meteors
swiming towards camp chatty as prarie dogs,
they hail from a Teton encampment of 74 lodges a few miles up river
most of the men are feeling...

How deserted lies the city, once so full of people!
How like a widow is she, who once was great among the nations!

Bitterly she weeps...

The Morality Police
"The Morality Police"
hair showing
not used
for drying feet
life
of a young woman
innocent
tortured,
brutally taken
and murdered
for what?
in the
controlling hands
of the Morality Police -
monsters are real,
they do exist
there and here
many demons...

Words of praise...

Gateways of Bahdur
Remote to the walls of intelligence, a civilization is defined without a typographical position
Entrance to the society is marked with long, gargantuan red gateways that extend high
High as if touching Ursa Major’s feet, detailed with...

DANCE
They being in the studio, cooking some beats
with a rhyme, beautifully crafted lyrics
Just like a poem, with my golden pen, I speak fact
Knowledge to be diluted with discernment
Discrimination was their best songs

Epigram
Down In the Rail Road Flats
Twas a little piece of heaven in a bigger spot of hell,
Nestled in the bosom of the Sierra Nevadas.
I wasn't sure just what planet I had just landed on,
An alien invader in a strange mountain...

The Hinge Whisperers
The universe creaks on tiny, sublime hinges.
Time swings in space-time, frayed at the fringes.
Each squeal is a cipher, a riddle to implore,
For a small iron whisper that unlatches the door.
Dreams swing on hinges where memory's...

I Am Ghost
I think, therefore I am,
And of what I think
Becomes me out of thought,
Momentarily, memories make
More mad moments of me,
Be it reality of fantasy?
Physical or Metaphysical?
My paradox is my persona
Brain fires random impulses
From dead end to...

The Spaces Between
No Particle Theory can ever be Unified –
for there is always the space between...the
unknown that separates while binds us
in a matrix of primitive wonder. Dark
Matter is only dark to those accustomed to one
light...for those...

He stands there in his hallowed halls
Looking over the crowds
Meet me on the field of legends below the Tower
And he sees the colorful star
Looks him up and down
He sees a little of himself in number...

Sweven - Part One
Once some travelers on the road
to a land of treasure, slowed,
halting in their journey’s pace
halfway to that distant place.
Scared that bandits might attack,
they decided to turn back,
too discouraged to proceed…
Hence the group began to plead

Dune
Skipping thoughts across gelatin rings.
Into the reservoir of Lethologica
freezing-mirror- reflecting.
Nothings back to me.
What once was so lucid, liquid transfusive, a free flowing mainline of Offering, conducive to something.
A hopeful seminary seminar.

Father
A tradesman’s son and temple secrets die
in sixty nine years, never knowing why.
Contempt delivered their first child perfect,
your childhood gauntlet galvanized neglect.
A mother’s son and her abuse still lie
in sixty nine years, never knowing why.

Winter's Solstice
(A lone voice whispers)
Will you
Come all
Yes,
Yea and dance
For
In the deepest woods
In that old
Woodland grove
Something stirs
An electric emotion
Consuming the very air
Can you feel
Its pulse
And all consuming
Power
Would you attend as
An invited guest
With me
And dance
Go wild
And let your...

My Alternate Self
Glimpses of myself in a different time..
Recurring thoughts occupying my mind..
Visions of lush greenery landscapes
I gaze upon the deep blue sky
I caught a glimpse of myself..
My alternate self..
Unique surroundings
Fascinating experiences..
Colors illuminating so perfectly vivid

Dew Drops From Heaven
Rain,
Partial transcendence though a small sliver of heaven on earth.
Condensed droplets of dew,
Crystal gold, diamond refraction.
Needs no help, accomplishes purity by merely being,
Transcends touch,
Refreshing rivers rush over red eyes,
purity melds with the...
