Crossing Over

Memory is a river,
 bound for the sea

One waterfall to cross
  —death’s waters to free

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)

The Pivot

he plants his right hind
rocks back onto his haunches
front crossing over
he falls into his pivot
with practiced ease and beauty

yet merely a dream away

Crossing Over

Expect good things
the moment breathes
Your fear abandoned
the darkness leaves

When least expected
the current calls
Tomorrow waiting
—beyond the falls

Paid In Full

Requesting
forgiveness
from the dead
My will
crossing over
no longer misled
Requesting
forgiveness
my debt was set free
Destiny
reckoned
—atonement complete

Crossing over is fast to last for all eternity. Let me linger a while longer by the sea of tranquillity, until I collect my bio, written in the water. © Jun 4 2010 For Rick’s Sijo contest

Crossing the Pet-Peeve Line

****-retentive 
stick up the ass
over-reactive
over-dramatization
over seemly unimportant 
irrelevant issues seemed to 
always be the response to 
crossing over the pet-peeve line
that had been created over time
Form: Lyric

In Memory Of Rod Serling

Crossing over
into the realm 
of non-description
reference and paradigm
sleep alone

Borders falling inward
upon themselves
leaving only what
the mind forgoes
—and the soul forbids

(The New Room: 1-15-2025)

Judgment Abides

Appearance
reality
their differences
hide
Within the
perception
that judgment
abides

If once
crossing over
there’s no
going back
The tradeoff
complete
their identity 
— hacked

The Key

Putting God
into human terms
that we can understand
Obverts the beauty
concepts like the Trinity
command
Within our souls
within our hearts
the key to something more
Crossing over
on Heaven’s light bridge
—Beatific pure

Crossing Over

I can feel my dreams collapse
into a single vibrant image--neural blast--
brief synapse--

of you, above,
as I now exhale my life’s last
true love.

My death,
a final gasped
breath--

I can feel my dreams collapse
as I now exhale my life’s last
breath.

Beyond the Rim

Is identity a reference
to all that I’m not
or something else again
Is what I’m becoming
and what I am
in contrast clearly plain
Or then is it more
and crossing over
to what I’ve not yet been
The border amorphous
where gravity pulls
—to dance beyond the rim

Premium Member Crossing over

Crossing plains
Dressing the part
All in white
Golden halo
Wings spread apart
Flying high now
High now
Flying high

Dressed in style
Ready for the party
Tonight 
Tonight’s toasting me
Resting in peace

Come fly high with me
Come fly high 
High with me

Rest in peace 
Rest in peace
Rest in peace

Premium Member Black Void Prey

The spirit of memories polluted 
fingerprints crossing over your spine

Ghouls that crawl eerily creeping
from an abyss of the darkest claws scratching 

Consuming with fire aching burns 
scaled by nightmares of the past demons 

From under tombstones they rise cold echoes 
undead souls of bygone nightshades haunt
Form: Couplet

Death Toll

in the midst of four families
coming together
to end a crisis
it begins
paying the toll
for crossing over

1 of each coin
tossed into the streets
this will take everyone
pay the piper
to release
your creator so he can be reborn

whatever happened
to a death we could not afford
walking all over the dirty money
would any angel notice?

James Dean junket drive
Up the bend away at Five
Met his end all plaster-fied
The Hollywood pied piper

Hellva lot better Dean
A young-man Diana been
No old man crapping in a diaper

But a trip for the worse
Early turn in a hearse
No fun for fans all screaming

Running at double time
Crossing over the line
Makes an end of your California dreaming

Accepting Our Loss

Such pleasure you gave 
in the short time we had,
but you were chosen
and though we are sad;
you're away from the dangers
your earthly life had,
away from things ugly
those awful things, bad... .
You brought us peace,
we can't be mad;
for your crossing over -
means an angel they add.
So proud of you,
so very glad;
from loving friends, family;
Mum and Dad

Norm

outside the norm
but an inside part
over their lines
but inside my heart

not going to let others
decide what's right for me
the books and tapes
discussing thoughts and feelings

gonna live outside the rules
of typical behavior
an aggregate response
a taste I'm gonna savor

outside the norm
but an inside part
crossing over their lines
but listening to my heart

so is autumns dawn crossing over horizon deep in it's path dull ~ lit lights orange bright dispensing shadows of hues horizontal views ~ falls autumns trees waves in the autumn breeze so blown colors view orange ~ hues completely drained containment of yellows, reds browns, aqua shades

Premium Member The Crossing Over

crossing over…

her chilled breath
caressed my cheeks

no reddening here
just a darker ebony hue

the color collage 
of  foliage

canvassed my eyes
falling rainbow tears

dripping to nourish
mother earth

matting
her joseph’s coat

reflected by scattered rays
peeping through shuttered  skies

the bridge over the river of change
is indeed a delightful crossing

Crossing Over the River

Crossing Over The River
If emotional cruel define gravity shelter for the weather would be not the house but the wood knocks
Pain and jealousy some time take the nail from the pavement what is it to know words that pin gambles of tales
Haste virtue counterpart agrees was every word of a phrase taking out of tempo
How routes lack appease to love or look to what to be 
just be - - - -

There’s nothing more beautiful 
Than a native song
A native dance
We move to the beat
Made wide the door
Pulled open the sash
To the simpler things 
We can treasure once more
An ethnic custom
A traditional meal
A friendly smile
Crossing over the miles
From someone you knew 
Once long ago
There,
With you still
Smiling down upon you.

Premium Member Friction

Muse me mine No crime to run along another line Reveal a peal of thunder Steal a thought from jeopardy Otherwise, no one will see The gem beneath the lime-rick Stalemate draws to endless squabble Deny the place for psychobabble From a zone of rubble, define a truth Magnificent in grandeur The whistle of a distant train A swift arrival crossing over Bearing friction of the truth

Life's Epilogue

Crossing over,
  I thought it’d be different

Crossing over,
  I thought things would change

Crossing over,
  I thought I’d be better

Crossing over,
  I fought through the rain

Now looking back,
  I see demurely

Now looking back,
  I see through the fog

Now looking back,
  I see more clearly

Now looking back
  —through life’s epilogue
