above tangerine peaks
the sun whispers soft—
clouds drift in shoals,
a dance of blue and grey hues,
a heady blush made by the sun.

Valleys and Peaks
We've traveled many roads, some steep and long,
kept steadfast on our walk, forever so strong.
Through our ups and downs, we traveled this road,
for all those times we carried life’s heavy load.
Valleys and peaks may have always been there,
with courage we walked, not always with despair.
Below those peaks, shines a

Ethereal Peaks
In misty heights, where clouds embrace the stone,
Our souls ignite, no longer flesh and bone.
Dawn breaks, a spark across the dreaming sky,
As master's words make reality fly.
We climb through realms where logic bends and twists,
Our minds are ablaze with wisdom's amethysts.
Noon's golden fire reveals a hidden door,
Beyond which time... flows backwards, then no more.
The master

On the peaks of destiny where the clouds of promises are torn apart
On the peaks of destiny where the clouds of promises are torn apart,
I offered you my heart as an atlas of fabulous worlds.
The fervor of our love, a shooting star, dazzling and then, just a pale memory,
Now I remain like a monk in the cell of contemplation, breathing life into the charcoal of the past.
Ah,

Peaks and Valleys
Those highs and lows
Peaks and valleys
Appear to be arising..
It is the script which
Seems as a script
Or seems not..these
"Seemings" are
Simply not two..
Rendering the scripts
Filled with the
Freedom of what is
Unknowable...

The Echo of Granite Peaks
Amidst the craggy heights, where granite kisses sky, There dwells a voice, a tempest’s cry, A soul aflame, a melody unbound, Glenn Hughes, the Voice of Rock, profound.
From Trapeze’s wings, he soared aloft, A troubadour of rhythm, a velvet voice so soft, In Deep Purple’s embrace, he wove a cosmic tale, His bass notes echoing

I have seen the peaks
I have seen the peaks
Majestic mountains
Flaunting themselves
Before a diminutive sun
Watched a shadow
Snare the radiance of light
Stood before a Cathedral
Surrounded by truth’s beggars
Touched the hand of an infant
Reaching out in wonder
Felt the sting
Of doubt’s lash
The soothing balm
Of hope
Listened to the murmurings
Of monotony’s metaphor
Heard the herald
Of the hounds
The baying
Of baleful bastards
I have caressed
A soulless sunrise
Bedded down
A

Oh Meaty Peaks! a Pindaric Ode
Oh Meaty Peaks!
Oh meaty peaks adorn-ed on her lips,
Why do you cheeky mountains there exist?
You spoil the smooth mottled flip-flops,
Of canines' drooping moistened chops...
Oh spikes of flesh, you've piqued my interest!

Summer, Amid Green Valley's Highest Peaks
Summer, amid green valley's highest peaks
Through the woods air's sweet release carry on.
Birds quiet among leaves still far withdrawn.
Shade of carmine leaves bath in golden steaks.
Labyrinth fields sun's freedom to rally.
Horned owl rides the air stream, into darkness
Against the fading moonlight's hunt stillness
Joy flying in silence dilly-dally.
Cicadas sing loudly, nymphs mating song;
Graceful gray mourning doves

Peaks and Valleys
Everyone enjoys cruising easy street
Hits keep playing around the clock
Everything flawlessly falling into place
Puzzle pieces effortlessly interlock
Humming along until hit a speed bump
Your momentum derailed by a detour
Diverting your good vibes off track
Unsure if you will be able to endure
Then reminded of our ability to bounce back
That has craftfully carried us this

When Depression Peaks
I love the reality the dark keeps,
without designer drugs or alcohol.
It is as deep as the void from which light has sprung.
To speak of mighty waves the sea released.
To follow boldly solstice no drawn drapes up from.
The triggers I can't fix to see my face.
Drawn and racked as peasants do it.
I face the west the

14 Peaks
From the beginning
we shake hands with death
At first as a stranger
when caught in its net
And last as a friend
bearing gifts from beyond
A bridge for one crossing
past futures begone
While leaving behind
the measure of fate
Transcending tomorrow
we unlock its gate
What’s last becomes first
closing open interred
a singular journey
—not shaken but stirred
(Watching 14 Peaks:

Journey Through the Mountains
Life is like an ever changing mountain range,
Valleys of tall grass,
Peaks of happiness that we strive for,
And the hidden ponds and rivers,
That dare to drown us all.
We are all at a different point,
Resting atop a peak,
Or wandering through the tall grass.
And some are in the ponds and rivers,
Either swimming with virtue towards something better,
Or sinking

New Peaks
fading
craving
the pause
pregnant
stillness
silence
sudden
bliss burst
clear light
engulfs
presence
here now
the void
our friend
we are
we be
therein
thus free
no goals
remain
we feel
complete
