The attic 
Was covered 
In dream catchers,
Spiderwebs,
And dust....

Railroaded, we were

Becoming everything we

Hated about life


We had traded our

Dream catchers and dirty feet

For certificates


We didn’t even

Want, for friends we don’t like

And heels we can’t walk in....

Threads weave tapestry from words

Supplicate webs of magic carpets

Embalm clandestine fantasy worlds

Meander from sourcing the delta

Revisit memories’ dream catchers

Transfigure images into quietude

The vertical thought had 
jumped on the moon
without any qualms.

Do you think, the dreams 
will sell to man
these butterflies.

The ants were waiting 
for the death of the lamb
wandering in the neighbour’s field.

O God, how long we will
drink this potion
of the stone catchers ?

He sends me to bases that have stunned many faces, including that of mine.I feel the dream catchers power running through my spine, incresing my faith, to run to next base without stumbling, very humbling.As I strive to reach home base, keeping my vision on the Dream Catchers Mitt....

Time for bedding down
All life shuts its eyes
As the darkness creeps
Stars guard Mother Earth
Lighting dreamscapes way.

Nocturnal songs
They resound far
Accompaniment
Lovely night songs.

Dream catchers
Catch nightmares
For children.

Sleep deep
Restful

Sleep....

Dappled twilight shadows
Canopy of oak and mulberry leaves
Glints and glimpses of sunlight
Ominous conversation of slave catchers
Scared whispers of ones who seek freedom
Praying God will answer their prayers
Led by Harriet Tubman a true believer
Who relentlessly leads people
To the promised land...

Time for bedding down
All life shuts its eyes
As the darkness creeps
Stars guard Mother Earth
Lighting dreamscapes way.

Nocturnal songs
They resound far
Music of dreams
Lovely night songs.

Dream catchers
Catch nightmares
For children.

Sleep deep
Restful

Sleep.

Embraced
Your Dream Catchers
Have been tattooed on our culture

They Grace our hides
Our windows
And our rear view mirrors

Protecting us
Shielding us
Defining us

Circles
Web woven
Sinew sewn
Brandishing
Your Eagle's feathers

Rolling along
With the nightmare
In the mirror
Fading in the distance

Some Native Americans it seems
believe that the air is filled
with good and bad dreams..
The legend states that when one sleeps,
a dream catcher will trap the bad ones that seep.
Place a dream catcher at the head of your bed
and trap the bad ones in it's web..
The good dream will pass thru it's center hole,
bring peace and comfort to the slumbering soul....

Trees are the catchers of lost human souls
Entangled in clinging wooden branches
Mouthing silent pleas to earthly passers

At nightfall peering toward magnetic stars
Hoping to freely roam the universe
Its magnificence drawing them upward

Wailing to reunite with a loved one 
From their previous earthly human realm
Longing for the eternal search for love...

Was it altruistic, donating 
the light to the 
data-catchers ?

Sexing at the crack of 
dawn, when you 
were still a primate ?

Let a requiem begin 
for the repose of undead 
souls, writhing in life.

Draped in skin, the 
hungered crowd, comes 
for a dip in confluence.

The frail sky now falls 
in the river. there will-
be no prayer today.

Catching snakes has to be done
When they are in the city each one
There is a couple of tattooed people
On television in South Africa showing their mettle

Black mambas, Cobras, Spitting Cobras each done
Would have the potential to kill when their biting is done
Not my cup of tea to do this sort of thing
With nerves of steel that they do bring.

“By Whatever Means” 

Halos are us
shining examples
of fallen poetry

gauntlets warm 
hearts pumping blood
dog catchers of thieves

lives stolen 
then retrieved 

by whatever means

our quarries
captive, then fed 
to Cerberus

Halos are us
shining examples
of fallen poetry

lives stolen
then retrieved

by whatever means

Pitchers pitching. Catchers catching.
Balls are in the air.
The smack of leather, bonding together.
A spring time love affair
Coaches coaching. Trainers training.
Stylish Unis, socks and hats.
Gatorades, fresh cut grass blades.
Soon hitters with big bats.
Fans are fanning, Radar guns scanning.
Baseball careers are born there.
Raise a beer. Praise The Jays and cheer
Springs just around the corner....

Within a catcher, dreams do scream
feathers redeem 
man's sullied soul
sweet dreams the goal

Within their vanes they transfix
each demon lick
each channeling's
imaginings

Within the web they flutter, curs
nightmare mutters
beaded offerings
each feather sings

In the evening looking out my back door
The magic begins
Can you feel the adrenaline?
Spider woman is weaving dream catchers to lore.
Fairies are dancing like their ancestors did before.
The elves are sweetly playing their mandolins.
In the evening looking out my back door
The magic begins
It's not on some distant shore
It's within
My neighbors field called paladin
Under the sycamore.
In the evening looking out my back door
The magic begins....

Job less but lover 

I trying to make a part 
To do my work but as I believe 
That "my work is my mirror" I look 
after myself for do my life 
In a repectfull image with my designing 
and my love life as a lover I am little 
growing seed from a plant root of 
love make me to smell like catchers 
of people I am jobless but lover 
You think where I stand where my 
stupid family cry for my death to 
destroy my dreams 


With love all

Green girl
Green girl

She gathers leaves on a blue and green night
Her emerald eyes make me ignite

Dream catchers gather on her wall
She makes stars none shall fall

Green girl
Green girl

Light candles, red hair reminds me of autumn
Fire red forest she will come

Dream catchers gather on her wall
She makes stars none shall fall

Green girl
Green girl

Change like the seasons
For unknown reasons
Nothing left to give
Baby I would relive

Green girl
