Kentucky's late summer sunshine
sunk deep into their skin
as the boy rode on the back

the tobacco harvest would begin soon,
aromas of sweet leaf darkness
were wafting in the field heat,
to the big barn...

I cannot die tonight
I dog-eared a book
Of pages I haven't perused
You know how long that took?
Scent of pages
Frayed and yellowed
Always get me
Calm and mellowed
The spine cracked and worn
Each page a promise, a tale untold
In the...

Traveling through these great lands of ours

Passing through each wilderness
Learning new steps to take.

HEADSTONES AND CHATTELS 

‘Twas pure chance that I discovered
Just the other day,
A place passed 
Countless times,
Never had the thought of calling in,
Inner thoughts and misplaced fears
Oh there must have been countless other reasons
For one to...

“Words We Cannot Escape”

Words we can no longer speak

we tap dance over keys 
bruised blackly numb
Winter palette in hand 
Autumn now gone 

across white-washed notes fixated on stark enclosed walls 
the scent of old Lavender...

Conditioned since birth by customs, family, society and ego
We go about with a clustered mind 
Complicating our simple life with our thoughts and self-imposed restrictions
We don't see a human as human rather we attribute adjectives...

In flames, feelings bruised my spirit,
Maze of ethereal lights,
Delicate as the dew who whispers soundless poetry,
Pouring out gentle into the moments,
Soundless adventures, dancing
In rhythms, singing through the edges of a shadow,
Trembling on transparent truths,
Authenticity rising...

long dark fingers lie across
