Long Kimo Poems

O albatross guide my loosed soul  
from the shipwreck seized by sandy shoal

persuasive Polar Star in quiet pull
a sailor’s tired eyes gone dark 
I will dream while we fly 

on wings that span horizons...

Am I the only one to think
that a kite is such a sad thing?

Flimsy...frail...
never really free,
forever tied to a string

Yes, it can soar indeed,
so high, with the wind taking it places,
almost making it forget,
just enjoying...

Factory Recall

I looked beyond The Open Door 
into a mystical Soul Factory
There amidst  the unboxed souls
was Invisible Jim and The Ghost.
The ghost’s skin was reflective like a mirror 
allowing me to see The Lines...

AWASH AND AWAY! ©  KIMO

Listen, Katrina will come inland
Katrina has come to play
Playgrounds underwater
Sleepy times put asunder
Bedclothes hung out in tree tops, upended
Held fast in forked boughs
Homesteads beached, broken
Swirl...

A look full of meanings
Words full of guidance
Actions full of reliance
Hand shake full of warmth

that is all what makes you
My elite charming, extraordinary

As exemplary as a High Priest
and consecrated as a Temple's Inner Chamber.
Respected amongst his colleagues,
reverenced by His subordinates,
distinguished, honorable and set apart.

Then came the moment of Truth
like the refining fire which may burn or may...

brighten by a warm predawn  glow

Two sisters sit on a small stone clearing
keeping  secrets of their own

Crying down the hall.. our baby wakes..

Fog slowly fades to a pristine picture
Mt. Hood stands in silhouette
The smell of breakfast rises

Leaning upon the sill, I gaze through the picture book...

Oceanic
sight awful shudder

media echoing news;
Poverty sad sad
view....

Begging for some
mercy and food to
eat;
Rags and filth  ~
children on street;
Is this what we

Rain bullets and
bombs clouding the
heavens;
Scathe canopy
'causing fear;
Is this what we
gave?! STOP!

Sigh no more- by William Shakespeare

Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more,
Men were deceivers ever,
One foot in sea, and one on shore,
To one thing constant never,
Then sigh not so,
But let them go,
And be...

Sky squeezes wet clouds and showers drip
through fingers and drop on earth’s grip.

Drops peer through nerve ends to starving earth’s soul;
soul fills in and crust moistens
and drops slip on her skin.

Brooks fill in, fields spill;...

I saw her prior to the night
Many nights before
In the cold dimness of the light
Right outside her door
Nor for rejection could I speak
Too thirsty my tongue
Her laden breasts were mountain peak
Like ripe fruits they hung

Embrace The Summer Love


Summer brings bright colors to our lives
before she turns to autumn browns.

Too quickly her long days go drifting by;
so gather all her sunshine...
embrace the summer love.

Our summer days bring special joy

The valley is hushed before daybreak,
until the animals awake.

Fawns snuggle for warmth against their mothers
beneath leaves of aspen trees, 
dappled in dawn's pale light.

In thicket and forest, dense with vines and shrubs, 
there is a...
