Ill-Starred

I wandered from mirror after mirror
finding no home in any of them,
for my reflection can only have a being
in these eyes of yours.

Governor Arnold Shwarznager
Pumped the iron and starred in Terminator
Lived the high life and married a queen
Shame on you now sad and mean!

I Shine By My Own Light

Unknowably, in placing
As a right, self righteously
This value on yourself
Do honour whom, throughout all
Of His starred and daisied works
Did not repeat Himself.

and my eyes were even starred

An actor who’s called Tu Hung Lo
Starred naked in a seedy show
At his standing ovation
Couldn’t hide his elation -
Came back on stage in dickie bow!

Aliens As Fallen Angels

Be on guard, as you watch
The skies, dark skies.
Weirder that, bulbous owled
For haunts of eyes.

These, in place of what swirl
Innocent starred
May, down at you burst, burn.
Heaven-disbarred.

A Childish Muse For a Child Mind

ntoward are the ill-starred, unto death is the road. Unto all is charity. Unto life is wine. The merry sing unto sleep then unto dreamlands they must go, I and you, each of us the king of Xanadu.

Yours, the Pale-Shelled Cameo, Dear

Yours, the pale-shelled cameo, dear
Moon-skied, Night-worn.
Hung from its pure starred necklace.
Pearls of the high-born!

Of you what's mythic featured
Afar, as dream-lit
Alike within clasping's reach.
Alike to claim it.

Words and Thoughts

What's heard for a word's echo
And soundless, thought-vibrate
Way up into this starred night
Will they now dissipate?

If its true all that's done here
Transforms the universe
For good or ill retract, I
All such; adverse, perverse!

Silence

Cross starred-
sitting right across,
pure decadence of silence.

Passion flared-
Love aired-
What joy in thee.

Soft movement,
creaking floor,
random burst-

D---

Oh why?

Silence abound-

Love aired.

Smiles all around.

Have Gun

When I was young, he'd always win
That man in black called Palidin
A hired gun and yet he starred
And always left a business card
That cragy face, that voice of gravel
That was his show, Have Gun Will Travel

Waking

Dawn's rays break starred skies
I wake to find the bed cold
You've already gone.

I still feel your lips
Pressed hot against my shoulder
Stunned there is no mark.

Tangled hair is combed
Each knot a mark of shared lust
Gently tease them out.

Autumn Haiku

ALL BLACK IN THE CLOUD, 
I GLIMPSE CURVED ARCS IN THE SHADE. 
HUSH! THE BIRD HAS GONE


ALL STARRED IN THE SKY, 
I GLIMPSE SNOW STREAMS IN THE WOODS. 
SWISH! THE CLOUD HAS GONE



ALL PURE IN THE SKY, 
I SEE BURST LEAVES IN THE DUSK. 
LOOK! THE LEAF HAS BLOWN

My Lover

i sat by the window
from sun up til sun down
wondering when the day
would ever come
i sat and starred 
and starred some more
waiting to see my lover
my lover there he was
with the glimpse of my 
eye here comes my lover
what a surprise 
my lover is here
finally at last

Black 
sandy
full-of-life
magnificent
beaches with laid back coconut palm trees

Welcoming both surfs and surfers back in
for a relaxed
breathtaking
sunset

walks
neath a
lunar rise
as a starred sky
pauses for fallen stars on a black beach.

Attractive Dimnesses

Attractive Dimnesses.
Shades enchanting spots.
Tree's. Those by a river cooled.
Hour when most hot is.

Twilight's! In the process
Whose sky-wide awning
Of being put up, croak by croak
That ponded, reflect will
What for peace-flows, soundless starred
Mind draws from. As a mill.

Taps

Two to start
hidden getaway planned
hooded by woods
secretly intimate
a silent motor
black search began
waiting with accompaniment
tap - tap - tap
drowsy state triumphs
a starred awakening
sirens blaring, lights flashing
escorted and directed away
quick glance back
one hanging above

Rebecca Schaeffer

She was very young when she was shot by Robert John Bardo.
She starred in 'One Life To Live' and 'My Sister Sam' over 30 years ago.
Bardo had stalked Rebecca for three years and tragically ended her life with a gun.
Fans were forced to say goodbye to this great actress who died at the age of 21.

The Seraph, Light

Til the last sword-like flicker
Keeps, as 'twere defended
As much as spellbound.
Camp fire's, not only. That starred
Above. Dread nights confound.

Or that, bare wick-held, staves off
What have, for phantom thoughts
Efformed; to assail.
This godsend. This seraph, Light.
O'er Death will prevail.

All That's Left, Lifetimes Hence

All that's left, lifetimes hence
Through their lost consequence.
Is God. Such grand defeats!
Unlike in warring heats
Acclaimed. Us, disappear.
And not but starred appear!
For Light itself foresaw
Those diamonds in the raw
Took back. Past seeking Him
From the cave entrance, dim;
To what, hill-high opens
Upon the same heavens.

Jimmy

(Dedicated to James stewart who died July 2, 1997.)

You starred in It's a wonderful life and in Firecreek.
You were an awesome actor who was unique.
You starred in a great western that was made in 1950.
The movie I'm talking about is Winchester '73.
People were saddened in 1997 when you died.
People mourned your death world wide.
