The duffle bag strapped to the rack
The air was crisp when we started out at dawn
In the early morning hours we were gone 
Down the road with the wind on...

(Written at 3:00 am on a motorcycle between Sedona and Flagstaff)

I want to write dirty and convoluted,
connected and wet
And in the mess of my words
Feel the stain run down 
Over the nice clean ordered objective,...

I can be on a plane headed across the,
Ocean and the only thing I my mind is home.
Home where every morning I am greeted,
By Valley of the Sun and the,
Mountains who surround me.
I dream of...

SEDONA OUTING

We're gathered in a little town
Somewhere in Arizona
The little town that got its name
From a lady called Sedona

A town that has a bunch of rocks
Like none you've ever seen
Along with trees with strange sounding...

I am now sitting at that place called “There”.
Waiting for answers beyond compare.
Doing my best to get another car.
Roadblock after roadblock staring at me hard.

With no money down- now that’s a joke.
Trying my best to...

A boulder looks down upon her children below;
Varied rocks worn smooth by the creek’s swift flow.
As the bright sun glistens on her lovely rust hue,
She shares her delight of her little ones in view.

I walk through this abandoned 
Sedona resort to stop and soak deeply into heat of...

Imagine that we never met
In love we never fell
Where would we both be now
If the past were to tell.

Imagine all the times we’d miss
All the fun that we two had
Sedona and California
It would really be...

It is raining Sedona in reds and oranges of course
The elements are creating a mountain with incredible force
When all is in place, an incredible spirit world it will be.
An Arizona landmark to inspire both you...

Leaving the plains of Oklahoma.
A heavy heart where I spent my high school days.
I need a new beginning.
I need a new start.
Too many memories.
Too many broken hearts.
A sigh of relief as
 I pass thru Texas...

I cannot sleep.

Let me absorb your body's grace
Each breath as a dove
Pulls my heart so softly
To fly with you not once but oftly.

I cannot sleep.

Your voice drives my blood to rush.
My body quivers in your...

Baked mountains encrusted 
with a kiss of many suns.
Dry air moans on melted
shards of desert rock.

Blistered lips sealed tighter
with the dryness of every
swallow.

Stifling parched steps
yielding this sundered

Forever silenced whispers
of discoveries not yet
heard...
