Short Rivered Poems

There was a dying breed outside
The forest.
They rose with pallor relished
And true.
Like rhythmic bramble they 
Trotted through stream,
Mares and lovers gave way.
Rivered with Rilke,
A new day came to pass.
The ferrets of the un-furrowed brow
Gave brilliance to our every breathe....

Unsayable Irresponsibility

Inside the festive bar, drinks free flowed
To swaying music, hips and lost inhibitions.
Beer and spirits rivered down the mountain,
Splitting carefree trees in need of shaking,
With  queue of law hanging on their branches, 
Cues, of the wrath of drinking and driving.

Some heed, most drive to someone's goat.

Who would become so fundamentally foolish
to separate a strong dancer

Mountainous storytellers
from our rivered story?

Felt humane communion
from our most nakedly divine communications?

Spirited habits
dispirited from Earth's natural habitats?

Evangelical legends
from love's integrity,
passion's timeless curiosity?...

Let me not to the married of true minds
Alter what thou love may seem to peace
As rivered lips at dawn
Shall it be less sharp as horns

Let me not shall I command
Be as thorns as it sunk
For midget goes from toes
Its all a dream to chase

Be it of fear
Shall it move like gear
Its electricity love adhere
Is all it has to cheer

Let me not to the love of one heart
Be the judge as it roams around
Raging with fire and excitement
Shall its joy, that no stone reverses...
