uncovered gold

Each memory mined

is mined with uncertainty
each step a commitment
—to live or to die

nuggets of 
wisdom
mined 
from

of the 
misshapen
slumped figure
in

Built with rusted steel 
Steel mined by the workers’ hands
Faceless above crowds 
An angel not from the blue
But built with man’s blood and hope...

It seems our phone was on the blink
With a plumber under the sink
It seems the drip
Splashed on her slip
So she wondered what I might think . . . ....

Mined and burned fuels that are fossil
Create debacles colossal
Large profits some got
But when nature gets hot
It will make past disasters seem docile...

Turquoise
A blue or green
Often black or gold veins
Mined from the southwest USA
Native Americans give reverence
Many magical properties
Hope, peace, and of course love
Beautiful stone

Your worst nightmare, 
crawling inside you fears are mined;
Your worst nightmare, 
eyes move left and right and just stare;
A hard swallow and it’s refined,
too edgy to ever unwind;
Your worst nightmare....

As water is to cleansing rain
and heat as to burning flame,
so are you to me, the same. 
My fiery rain.

Fill the gutter of my mind. 
Fire the coals your heart has mined.
Burn me to the end of time.
Your fire does reign.

The excitement I feel,
when you entered
made my life a dream,
the blossom of first kiss,
and leaves on the trees,
seasonal changes
cold winter,
into a worm
hot summer days,
all things changes,
my feelings for you,not
our whispered secrets,
from yours,
to my mined....

Put me to sleep in ice again
Sounds travel well
Through anything but the cold
Relationship mined with pain
The world in silence is swell
I cannot hear the chill between
The asp stinging thought told
I'm frost bitten in 
Or bells all callous toll.the green

"Twenty below Zero"...

All Mixed up.

All mixed up 


Screaming…without making a sound.
Wanting to pull all my hair out.
Meditation does not ease the pain.
Too much frustration is flying inside my brain.
Insanity is where I want to be.
It’s hard to keep a controled mined under these frightening things....

Verses written with veins,  
On thin, irregular lines, pulsing chambers find,
Growing pains. 

Thirsty for eyes,
As each word, poured from vessels mined,
Surmise.

Alone,
Praise-seeking grind,
Blown.

Verses written with veins, 
As each word, poured from vessels mined,
Blown....

You are something
Beyond classification or description.
Something sensory.
Something
Warm, sweet, 
Rich, dark, 
Smoke and fire, 
Softened spice, 
Sugared rust, 
Dusted copper,
Wood, bark, 
Like you grew from the ground
Or were mined from the red earth.
Just like Saigon Cinnamon....

Holding hands 
Just woke up with you on my mined,
in my heart, your heart,
your hand holding mine,
only life time I am seeking for us,
to share our thoughts,
and dreams,
make it reality,
with you by my side,
imagination fly,
just holding your hand
makes me smile,
what else man can ask for........

Dream,
dreamer poet,
without worry about this world' pain
which have lost its color due to love,
The world hurts with so much deception.

Take care when you tread on a land mined of shared
rivalry.

Dream,
dreamer poet,
conclude in detail and color the canvas of this insipid and empty time....

Silver's fine for harness, bridle, sleigh bells.
Snow sled ride is nice behind a mare's trot.
Rhythmic tintinnabulation so swells
pleasant tinkling night that we'll forget not.
Silver's mined in Mexico a great lot.
Many seek that ore in vain but die poor.
Most do like to buy their share from a store....

Hopes disappeared but wars has not
Worried minds
Has mined
Words out of minds
Mine; mine; in a molds
Dreams of war
Took the world drowned
In deep wounds
Wars walls no one safe
Widows
And sons of their wars
They dream wars and woes
In coffins deep the worse
Their dreams
They dream wars
When still
Still in woes
Of thus wars...

To them we’re the classless aliens,
we destroy everything they envy;
Toxic leaving scars on the planet;

Rare jewel this ocean filled planet,
it cannot be mined by aliens;
Natural riches leave such envy;

One in a million sparks envy 
in eyes not on this regal planet;
A work in progress to aliens;

All aliens envy our planet....

The best of this life is being fully seen 
Value which few have authentically mined
Failed conception of what real desires mean;
Hearts roaming with each other, thoughts undefined
I wished with new penny; an investment keen
Represents the best showing of humankind 
Beguiling two fish swimming in coyest fountain
Fed by water deep inside a loves mountain...

Father time’s a weary aging relic; 
he’s earned another blissful sleep.  

New Years Eve heralds another birth, Baby New Year, 
a fresh bell, comes into our world with Heavenly wisdom 
and the muscle to begin his guardian shift.  
His labor, freshly mined golden nuggets of hope. 

Every year, he gives the world and all within it, 
another chance.

If we could deal with the past while it is in front of us,
We would have plenty of time to discuss,
How the future can be good for all of us.

But alas, too often we let the past bite us from behind,
Meaning being kind,
May be the last thing on our mind,
Putting us all in a bind, 
If solutions we need to find,
Before a future that has been mined,
Is all that we have to leave behind....

Still hidden and not yet uncovered, 
like ancient buried treasure 
still waiting to be discovered. 

Like a dull white stone 
waiting to be mined, 
to be cut and polished 
to be made one of a kind. 

Idling waiting 
to be given a chance, 
my lonely heart waits 
to be found by romance. 

To be shown how love, 
to share and to give. 
To feel passion and desire 
and the joy just to live....
