Long Reimagined Poems

As I look back across more musical times
of rhythmic reflections,
ceremonies and commemorations
of each dawn and dusk eremitic liturgy,
if that is not an oxymoron
of sound and sight,
song and dance,
tragically sad, yet also bilaterally bound with happier...

What are these days of mourning stories
I choose not to tell about myself,
my emotion-driven journeys
to windy hot imagined future
and remembered warm wet green
and impossibly resilient blue past
pre-historic paradise,
before people
and our mosquito
and cockroach
and locust
and indoor rats...

There is only integrity,
and therefore we are,
and therefore I am
integered integrity

Here is only integrity
of and in and for each moment's potential,
so only integrity as eternal now potential,
self-other
ego-eco
convex-concave
before-after
remembered-reimagined
past-future perpetuating regeneration.

There is only economic-political integrity for healthy...

In the quiet corners of thought, where the stars of ideas flicker and bloom,
I hold a belief, a sacred mantra whispered to the winds of destiny:
The free, exploring mind of the individual, a treasure beyond...

To North Africa we went, when names of the current generation made no sense, we took to ourselves to bring not only Africa back to us but joy and laughter, peace of mind that every...

Just as I’m nearing my Autumn years
There comes a moment echoed in my musings
Whispers of affection from the tears
Who have gathered to remind me that I have
Many memories to sort through,
Remember… just remember…

There were many...

Another typical insipid day
the sweet, crimson glowing ember
falling revealing the lustrous serenity 
of kaleidoscopic skies 
Elysian whispers around 
my remaining canvas of arid
Gossamer and prosaic filled voids
replaces citrine, saffron nirvana
Bodies surrounding shimmer effulgent colors
I'm yet...

We sat in the fallout 
of last year’s gift exchange—
smashed angel centerpiece 
taped back together 
as good as a rogue bomb 
if someone mentioned it.

Our voices dragged
like anchors through an ocean—
low, cold, summoning something
older than...

OF THE NEW FLESH

A returned to open channels 
Open to the unknown the beyond 
Burning humming like angry hornets
Bottled in electric light and shadows 
The whispers come through the void
Humming in the open channel 
Of...

The avalanche crashed   an ax from nimbus peaks

Rapturousness wrought Unitarian
transformational spiritual rapport
traversing thru space/time
continuum appending increasing
chronological orbitz as an Earthling,
frivolously did cavort,

who (with ever more energy)
required exhaustively to sport
fretfully clinging to each moment
after downing a quart of port
poured by Norwegian bachelor
farmers of...

An apt gift of presence empowers
as an unanticipated
unearned warning misfortune
enlightens apt rapt resilient fortune,

Delighted with discovering,
perhaps rediscovering?
healthy passions I would never have been wise enough
to look up for
nor hunt down.

Timing
is everything.

Time regenerates everywhere,
erupts every when
disrupts...

After she left the house for realities unknown,
the abandoned rooms hollowed out 
small discrete spaces for her to rest within
should she ever return.

Buses still stopped next door,
sparrows hopped over the stalks of phantom roses,
Eventually, Girl...

What do you need right now?

I feel like I would enjoy a long retreat
from human voices,
a free to reverse
get out of jail vacation
from inside voices,
especially my own.

Who would keep you entertained?
Who would you listen to

Some parts have regenerated
not backwards, local history
cannot be expunged with a backhoe and eraser.
There are facilities, collection plants,
distributions centers, storage units.
Where once summer sky’s grazed
there are mechanical cows
and the rusting bull horns of the defunct.
Creeks...

After she left the house for realities unknown,
abandoned rooms became discrete spaces
fully occupied by her thoughts.

Buses still stop two doors down,
sparrows hop over the stalks of dead roses.
Road dust carpets, then is windswept away.

Attraction

As race is concerned 
Beauty lies within 
Buried beneath the surface 

The stick figure 
The petite 
The full figured 
And well rounded
The dreaded
The bald headed

Of body
Of mind
Of soul
Of pride

Nothing changes my perception 
I am my...

The night sky was never this bright
with the golden fireflies around the moon's iridescent halo;
in winter, dreams are reimagined
in the lover's awakening mind where they were abandoned... 
look far, all the universe is pitch-dark,
even angels...

reflections
in the moving light
fields
that emerge

so composed
intuitive
&unshowy

illuminated
 subtly

a wonder

Those who have lost vision seek definition.
Does purple have a taste?
Alas, grapes are not always palatable in purple.
Some things leave an aftertaste that can last a lifetime.
Bitterness is not majestic like magenta.
Some would say opium...

UNPERPLEXED
voyages beyond
  to places
of merging
 recusant & reimagined
more tempting

 in a clandestine
