Short Mote Poems

spirit is a dust mote carried in the sunbeams...

Wavering it floats,
A spider hangs in sunlight,
A mote in the wind....

Read More

Imagining myself
A wee light to the dark,
In drip-cold a glimmer,
A wet mote in moonlight...
Me, an eye of the moon....

Haiku for a Comet

Lone drifting iceball
Unnoticed mote in Heaven,
Flirt with a bright star,
And gain a long bridal veil!...

Read More

my hands form the walls..

sea shells cap the high towers..

water fills our mote..






Build me a Sandcastle contest.....

A song whose melody is lost
lies awake with wide open lids. 
Love, a long sleep broken.
The half-Hunter’s Moon’s a moving
note, a westbound mote
across the sky....

The Big Bloat

It’s Not as easy 
As you know
Food is legal 
And can get
It to go
I find myself
In the same 
Bloat
We eat when 
Hungry
Or in a
Deep mote 
But...
As hard 
As it is 
To dig out
The rut
We all can 
Do it
And have
A good
Gut...

It’s not as easy 
As you may know
Food is legal 
And can be 
Gotten to go
I find myself
In the same 
Old Bloat
We eat when 
We're Hungry
Or in a
Deep mote 
But...
Hard 
As it is 
To dig out
Of the rut
We all can 
Do it
And have
A good
Gut...

Here and now start to glow again! 
There is always music and magick.
Adhere to the rules that are shattered,
mirror on the wall’s playing a trick;

Stream of soul lingers in fingertips,
beam like the beacon that you are;
Deem it so and so mote it be 
Dance a little harder raise the bar....

Smote-a-Mote Wayne can't see the beam
Stuck in his eye blocking his scheme
He thinks throwing mud
Will make him a stud
But its just another wet dream..

* * * * 

Why beholdest thou the mote 
that is in thy brother's eye, 
but considerest not the beam
 that is in thine own eye? ...

If you thought it kind, or perhaps naught
I'd write you a fine sonnet.

If it please'd I beg, on bended knee
a spirited song, or dutiful etheree..   
  
Alas a fly in pudding lies, a mote in sorrow'd eye
a snag in all best laid plans.. 
  
Tea time's nigh, so come sit beside    
and hold my hand....

My protector in the night
Strung above me
Native to my heart
Protects me from evil
Nightmares get caught 
And burn with the rising sun

My dream weaver
Dear friend
Protect me from evil
Not good ones but evil
That control my body
Take my mind

Oh Native Dreamcatcher!
Hear my plea
Protect me here
So mote it be...

Standing alone
In circle stone,
Enchanted place
Where shadows face
The vaulted height
Of love’s delight.

The scent of thyme,
And ancient rhyme
My voice will sing
Within the ring
As I devote
Behold the mote.

My sister’s ease
Upon the breeze
Sure as the sun
My will be done
And sure as rain
We’ll meet again....

My daughter says I love you 30 times a day
it made me realize as long as she's alive I'm alive
unconditional love can be hard to find
but out the mouth of babes has never been mote truthful
those words changed my whole day
my very outlook on life and my luck
to be a father is truly a blessed thing
I only wish I had two more just like her....

I know a girl. 
A girl with a head of golden fire, 
And eyes like silvered sapphire.
Her smile is shining,
Her laugh is lightening.

I know a girl. 
A girl wild as the storm, 
A mote of smoldering passion. 
She will never conform, 
Her heart soars like a falcon.

I know a girl that's captured my heart, 
I know a girl I'll never part....

SiTTING IN MY GARDEN

Father save me 
I am debris of mind
release my shadow
from your heart
allow yourself 
just to die
I am someone who
awoke  mid-life
slicing moments 
through time 
 
Universe hug my heart
stand where I won't
 touch your Mind 
I am just the no one 
floating as a mote 
through life.

Be LOVE

Once upon a happenstance
I gazed, a look, and paused in trance

To dream upon a crystal palace
Her heart aglee and form to chalice

With towers true and field in view
I set a course to give tongue to

I crossed the field - anxiety smote
And walked upon this palace mote

Yet, as I firmed, my heart to pour
She drew the bridge and bolted door...

I sent these inner tears out,
to the Heavens above,
and the Earth below.
Let my sorrows flee with the wind
and bring me happiness once again.
I wish for a Love,
that no longer exists,
too afraid to open old wounds yet again.
So I ask, 
quietly plea,
that the Powers that Be,
set it free.
And only return,
if it is meant to be.
So mote it be....

Transcendental dreams on torrid currents
Sing to sleep the slow-dimming day.
My earth shatters mote by mote,
Each crumb of life more faded.

Burst up, bloom out, REACH
The world awaits
A moment of succumbing passion.
Be more than you have been.

Suck in the sweet nectar of each
Passing Moment
Shine with glimmering reflected
Light

You only have one....

Need
to step
back.
Wound 
tight
we are.
spun up
from birth.
Force fed
all we know.
Everything 
we know
from one 
tiny place.
One mote
of 
spacetime.
Self important 
are we.
Self important 
we think.
Controlling,
manipulating
changing the
world. 
Other ways
exists in
different 
places.
Perspective 
need more
perspective.
Much to
learn.
Infancy still....

Through every spin and jackknife,
you peer into my soul's keyhole;
Far beyond this condensed life;

Written with stars onto my scroll,
our story long ago branded boundless;
You are my other half, my whole;

No matter how difficult it gets,
absolute bond nothing can sever;
A broad mote surrounding a fortress;

Impenetrable when linked together,
hold onto my hand forever....

What are the words that rhyme with goat?
And why won't these words come out of my throat?
And how aren't they written on the side of a boat?
And is this because they most likely don't float?
And if they sink do they go to a mote?
And when do these words end up in a quote?
And where are these words typed up on a note?
Oh well, maybe nothing ever rhymes with the little word goat....

The lyric deft and yet bereft, its logic baldly doffed:
an heir in err, a progeny ‘twas not untimely off’d.
In aggregate, the follicles that sprout the facial hair,
protrude a plain that’s primed for pain, as microbes nestle there.
To mow the glade with steely blade creates a field of woe;
the pain-free knight, his own mote smites, so mites midst hair might grow.

Onna is the Name Chaos is the Game
Quirky, Lucky, Branded, and yet your Friend
Daughter of the God named Pan
Lover of the wild and free, Lover of the Living tree
She who feels pride and fear and yet courage in spite of fear
She who fears order and betrayal she who fears commitment itself
Three thing she does wish to see. Beauty, Strangeness, magic so mote it be
Resident of the earth herself
NeeChan...
