Long Shadowless Poems

"FALL"



I wrap
my Autumn world
around you

Calliope turning
raising the 
season’s poetry, 

I am she
returning 

dancing 
with Summer’s 
dying leaves 

Twirling you up into 
my warm golden brown 
symphony

hear me sing, 
whispering notes,
holding keys 

towards you 
you're approachable
reaching...

Brazil

As I drove through the heavy snow of Manquiville,
Deep in silence back to Grandfather's house, all frightened faces
Full of solemnly dreams, I remember the smell of the sea.
	The unseen Grandpa's hands, pulling and pulling
	The full...

His silhouette lines up with his preacher stretch.
He points with avid attention to the throne of God.
Though he stands, his skinny knees are bent.
He’s in the trenches with his armament.

The congregants in the old wooden...

For seven days I perform magic for a crescent 6 year-old girl. 
I bring rainbows indoors with an arc that wraps itself around her curiosity. I bring stories/fairy-tales to life. Fire-breathing dragons: secret potions, kings,...

Lito, a boy of twelve was walking along
An old, broken street of the sun browned, 
Dusts attached, smoke emitting town
Lonely, long way he was passing
Through heat waves, bad odor, 
Horn blaring, noisy, charmless morning, 

At...

On his face, tears are slithering,
In his heart, feelings are quivering,
He’s trying to hold himself but nothing is triggering,
“Where is she?” He desperately would scream,

Under the shadow of a tall, glamorous tree,
A young man sat...

Grand Hope Flower
CA Hospital over 
a century of healing
Construction din
all of downtown one 
enormous construction 
site with all its might 
peeling into daylight 

Executive traffic thinks 
it’s funny, whizzes as 
acorns drop onto 
windshields and...

The old Hittite came through the gate
Battle sharp and dripping
With the blackness of an Ethiopian night
The Kingdom of Zion to replicate
The compass star of David's sight
And through that gate walked with him
A destiny invisible of...

waltz blazing sirens from shores of the frosted tomorrow

Whence the time had come, for the winding road to shine,
(Orbiting in circles
Jumping Hurdles
Cyclonic sparkles)
Like a diamonté sun, caught in the clearing of vertiginous fog,

The brilliant bride adorned in light, her penguin-groom now in sight,

why should i buy into all of the things people find so worthwhile

I think it's time for me to go now but I'm without a place to go
and I'm too stubborn to move
I think it's time for me to simmer down; I would agree because I can

This amber sky misted with periwinkle,
Daydreams close their eyes and grow,
These stars fade like the air we breathe,
Beyond my hopes of wishes yet seen,
Inside the stars will surely still shine,
Brighter than our lives do despite...

What breathes into the brain 
  and sustains from some secret place a sullied heart?

The pains of faces of others for the wicked barb

That stiff-neckedness; that boulder-like stoneness
The so-called track-travel; that perfection-proneness
The 'looking-down-upon' others as backboneless
That sharp surety of sheer, shadowless shallowness
All came to a standstill like a train on a halt.
I felt something stopping my voluntary vault.

i stand here
this dismal day
beneath the hues
of ashen skies
looking at these trees
still as bare as i
in emotions

i wonder 
if their roots
are as twisted
as mine
beneath
their earthen grave

do they thirst
for hope
forlorn
on the wings
of time

do they feel
the cold...

....where dandelions begin to die within the heat of summer's wrath,
i blow wishes in the warm caress of winds towards the empyrean above;

in barren fields, a lone flower grows
beneath the hue of dawn's early light

The city stays a stranger
in the bitter winds eye cast upon shadowless shapes that issue from obscure 
corners
dividing the ancient labyrinths at dusk
Solemn stone walls suspended in both directions swallow up steep hills
Unsteady steps dissolve...

Shadow’s Passion

As adult recklessly consume its flame of spirit and heart.

Frozen sky and frost fastened ground
In the mystique mask of departing light 
They meet in the abode of those departed. 
The identities dissolve in inseparable oneness 
Bringing together in seamless proximity

The sun Plagued by darkness.
I walk alone a shadowless figure with no face or heart beat.
Full with an emptiness void that grows and...
