Freedom Muse Poems

"Cocoon"

They say...
a New World 
traces over the old,
leaving the unaware,
erased, far behind 

the old unaware, 
left far behind,
crawls the walls
in its web of lies
spinning suspect...

"Another Better World"


These little sins 
you smoothly skip across the waters of fairweather lives 
like darkness hidden underneath deadly white lies,
like throwing pebbles casually across...

“Upon Waking”


Slumber has its upsides 
while the outside runs around
like a split fowlyard, 
cacophonous 
pecking at each other 
and at the ground…

Elsewhere, 

like dull background...

I melt into the plural sky
its rippling tableaus of tomorrow
underneath open light waves 
see-saws the labyrinth
like Delphi tendrils crossing channels 
all the changing faces played
automatic,...

When that storm arrived,
the entire congregation 
in genuflection 
knelt before 
Her poetic prayers,
they saw themselves shining,
eventually, in Her reflection 

scandalously quiet 
like perculating thunder, 
their...

Of soft feathery fern
To rest my weary head
Not much left to learn

Except to look at the ceiling
There above the...

eloquent birds 
pass my eyes 
the sky heavy 
full-bellied pregnant
and hailstorm green 
it lifts
their wings 
signing
singing
other worlds away
heart beats
up and down 
down and up
notes...

"Inside the Winter Wild"

Inside the Wild, 

Winter races 
towards Time 
like a runnaway train

it’s shadowy 
and dark,
yet, inside Winter, 

the wild keeps
without fail
its burning light,...

"noW"

Let’s face it ...
I can’t string 
an intelligent sentence

together, 

apart from those 
cast to feed sharks
in an affidavit.

sentences ... spent,
words and voices
caged, released

ah, well, 
you’ve...

"The Pure in Simplicity"

the love thieves
all in syncronicity
shoot silver kisses 

like bullets

penetrating
the pure 
in simplicity

pretenders 
sit at your table
feast on your losses

never your wins
now...
acrostics..

they swallow,
whole...

she thinks of other things
not so equivalent

she thinks she’s a brevity

“Expresso Shot”

He drank tibetan milk tea 
from his saucer
like a cloistered munk 

his conversation 
was hushed and tinctured 
with fountains of try-too-hard satire 

he spoke...

An echo of lovesome passion, an inspiration of unborn theme,
A muse hypnotic, adept at composing aspirations of my dream,
Omnipresent voice of being, poetry is my...

Beautiful wings, breathless
Beating, pulse of freedom
Bringing joy to the heart
Blinding the darkest fears
Blaze of gentle, singing
Broken sighs, warm and wise
Brilliant rhythms, a soul’s muse
