Long Skylights Poems

I'd been caught up in the middle, of one of those awful days,
When nothing seems to go right, with glitches and delays.

I was having a rough day at work, and the boss was now irate;
And...

I was a prominent theoretical physicist, relying upon beautiful mathematics,
Like devout gardeners everywhere, rely on butterscotch sunshine dramatics.

Rose days were spent inventing theories, to address pure astral phenomena,
And testing the raw theories, such as what...

Skylights warn and warm where acorns drip. The slight angle of acidity in the air can be measured accurately with a ruler or the nib of a ball point pen. Ball point pens are not...

Dragon really shouldn’t have borrowed the penguins, away from the Zoo.
Now he was their baby sitter at the lake, from morning till night, so true.
Not to mention a catasaurus was now stalking, his delightful little...

Wind roams around bare footed
Her loose grey hair weaving every minute

A waning gibbous moon raising, at 11 in the East 
For the beings with Heart, it is indeed a feast. 

Incomplete, strained yet mesmerizing 
It's...

Moonlight tango

It was a Saturday night, in Buenos Aires, 10:30pm, to be exact. It was a hot summers night, and you could see, and feel, the steam rising from the cobblestone street, here in La...

Grapefruit sunburst, rainbows on fire, skylights of silver stars, black cherry ice spikes, mango splash slides and champange on angel wings. 
  We are craving the dynamite. We are tasting your explosions. 
All the...

Lost Sweet Dream {a final goodbye}
by Cate Rock

Let me be your river,
My I never die.
May I be your shelter?
Just let me stand by your side.

Take my life as your own,
Kiss me when you want to.
May...

Wood's voices are loud, and the wind is weary.
It hurts and hurts as the fall leaves turn dreary.
On the saffron-robed eastern dark tally swarm.
Sheets dropped in a thin line from a massive storm.

November arrives, and...

Music practice,
when I was a wounded child,
felt too redundantly mundane,
yet never merely quite ordinary,
especially within a band
or chorus learning environment

For restoring spiritual
mental
natural health,
compassionately co-invested.

Later,
as an adult wounded child,
I repeated this same
redundantly mundane
Business As Not Quite...

She sits at a window,
that faces the park
the daylight is fading,
to almost dark.
It’s almost deserted
as people return
to their flats and houses
to find the warm.

She glimpses through raindrops
on the window pane,
hearing the rush
of a long-distance train,
and...

I scan the horizon as I trounce the arid desert.
Brill trees and a trickling burn shape my stream.
To me, it's as if I'm showing God's entail I querist.
As away as I am aware, it is...

Pack and Lose the Greater Truth
 
We’re moving all right,
to my beloved state of
Connecticut.  Just where
I always fancied myself.
in a sweet cottage with
skylights letting heaven in.
Our home sits right
on the side of a tree...

One starry night lit up the skies
lighting the way for three wonderers
traveling where the snowy path lies.

Whistling winds howled fear to all.
Proudly a deer stood watching about
studying the travelers crying call.

Nowhere to go but forward

It is time to stray from the race.
Where life has a very slow pace.
The pines in the mountains are inviting.
Where the deer in the field look up when they were sighted,
The cool wind of autumn...

A house 
Is a house of course
But a home is a home
Wherever you go
Wherever you come from
Be it  roof overhead or
Park row bench
With my pigeon friends
Pondering
Where I go next
Be it plains
In  euro Spain
Be...

Barefooted, I walk down the sands..
Following the streams of skylights..
Cold water splashes on my legs as leisurely, I walk..
My long hair dance with the wind..
As I began to feel free basking with delight..
I stretched my...

Goblins prance and dance beneath skylights;
Their contortions create shadows as they swirl.
Ghouls are disgusted by their cavorting and 
go along their way; 
searching for victims to terrify; 
a game they relish. 
 
Ghosts will have...

Whenever the rays of the sun begin to fade,
And the twilight hours and dawn appear,
Whenever the stars begin rushing to queue and ride,
Their skylights’ ships tearing the zephyr,
Your radiant beauty emerges to cover and shade,
All...

Night is the anesthetic, leaking
from the eyes of the moon's offspring
blinding the onlookers of midnight
who with sweaty hands cling
to the hot metal sun
with the smell of burnt flesh
accompanied by cracking whips
opening wounds of salty red...

i shiver and shake through warm and cold

the pain shakes through my bone

its harder starting over
then never to have changed

with blackbirds following me

There was a blizzard the day I heard you
were getting married.

The morning news reported-
Roads covered in black ice and
widespread whiteout conditions.
Work closed.

Mid-morning, I ventured out,

The storm's alabaster glare blurred my vision,
I recalled the lifespan of...

Basement full of odds and ends
in metal bits and comprehends
Glue and gumption, grease and grit
born from nimble hands of wit
Dimming evening, find him there
in the basement, light of care
winding ribbon through the glass
watching movies from...

A cabin by the lake would be a dream come true.
Large picture windows would bring nature into view.
I will sit outside on a porch that wraps around,
Surrounded by a serene mountain lake, playground.

Skylights will allow...
