Nobody Knows
Nobody knows how life will play out-
the steps of a journey marching through each scene,
for futurity is sightless, only the beginning has eyes.
Nobody knows the number of heartbeats...

no orchestrator or sculptor-...

Where Have All the Hippies Gone

A Search For Idealism
Without solid footing, idealism is a dream
From a position of strong sociopolitical reality
Words kill idealism without a scheme
Idealists deem the short-term triviality.
The ideal balance between man and nature
A serene scene of transcendence unfolds
Driftless area, spawning...

I Have Lived
I've experienced the exuberance of youth. Through endless summer days, of blissful
childhood ignorance.
I have dreamt the most glorious dreams. The ability to soar with the eagles was
mine, most any night. I was to...

Illusion That War Could Not Touch Us
Spring of 1971, happy laughter
Multi-colored flowers and happy faces
we drive painted vans our parents can afford
We pile in, meeting new friends, some potential lovers
Peppermint breath greet us in half beat valentine waves
Idealists abounded, we flash...

Vanguard
David sought a vanguard for revolution,
The Black Panthers seemed the perfect solution.
He built them a foundation, it employed his friend,
Until she found fraud and met a quick end.
Betty’s murder raised questions—who and why?
An inconvenient truth...

Disease of Sanity

But anyone can attach me of course
To the less equal nation in Orwellian sense

Maybe One Day
Maybe one day.
Maybe~ one day l will fly away,
Fly away to the moon,
And dance among the stars,
To discover the essence of spring,
On Jupiter and on Mars,

To fill my heart with tranquility,

A Nightmare
The other night I dreamed of spiraling downward,
But the earth delayed rising up to receive me.
I watched my unending fall into masses of despair
Falling rapidly, I found that I could not flee;
I could only hope...

Where do we poets go?

Where do we poets go?
Spilling our hearts out onto paper for the world to see,
Where do we poets go?

The Idealist and the Realist
The idealist sees the world as moments away
From bounding into a Utopian day
And the people that steal-
Can’t truly be real-?
For what helps another- is theirs they say
And the idealists see the moon with delight,
A gem...

We Were Idealists In 1969
Optimism pranced up and down in hip hugger bellbottoms
Joy resonated from those who wanted peace not war
Gratitude basked from the corners of those who had not been drafted
It was 1969, and we were in our...

Someone For Me
Will there be someone for me
Who loves me with insanity?
Who wants me, entirely?
Who touches with intensity?
Will there be someone for me?

Who when gone, my kiss will miss?
Someone full of honesty…

Music Or Die
*Music or Die*
I have greatest delight in music
It carries me, permits me to live
Bringin' memory of matter and spirit

Music clears emotion, it's dramatic
Changing a world, winning...

Who drink mixed drinks and wine

Deep Autumn's Rise
DEEP AUTUMN’S RISE
Deep autumn rises
Alike a fond glance
At a balding friend
One is suddenly aware
That life – almost suddenly – changes
Almost certainly ends
Some idealists reach back
To summer to a warmer time
And find upon...
