The shorter the distance
between concept and words
The deeper the impact
—of what’s to be heard
(Dreamsleep: September, 2022)
Focus each step and watch your love grow. You'll be there in time,now don't get to low.
You'll slip up & fall down. But keep your head high. The straighter you are, the faster you'll fly.
IF ONLY
If only then the road were straighter
The years to reach the turning fewer
If only then the grass were newer
And onset of the frost came later
Still I’d take the way of troubles freer
Only if its path were bound for here
The secrets of a mother are gemuine and true
The sufferings of a father go beyond the grass on yohr feet but are always untold
I struggle with my father’s footsteps
Sometimes I walk a little straighter but the booze is juat so sweet,
To what is left off me is for my and omly forbears.
Honestly I wish I was braver,
taller,
my nose smaller,
my fingers longer,
hair blonder, teeth whiter,
my thighs firmer
I wish I woke up earlier,
wasn't so late,
Read more,
Cared more,
Loved more,
Danced more,
I wish I tried harder,
wasn't so negative,
smiled longer,
stood straighter,
Honestly...I wish people weren't so Honest.
What do I see when I look into the persistence of memories?
Does it carry the same effect if my eyes were microwaved?
Would the clocks be suddenly corrected
Or shall they be straighter than the vision of Dali's
Melting in the feelings of the sunlight should they be saved?
Mine are are mine, though no matter how they're erected
Give it your best shot; to understand if their just follies
my mind is drifting
it is no longer sagging
instead it is smiling
new discoveries will be seen
my eyes have more color
my ears hear more sound
my nose inhales more clearly
a better place i now am
my mind is drifting
it is no longer worrying
instead it feels free
new places will be toured
the weight no longer binds me
the strings no longer entwines me
the thorns no longer lacerate me
a straighter stance i now stand
Stone heart petals
fall softly
in the lavender of her gentleness...
The melody of her smile
offers angels to tired eyes-
I walk a little straighter
(concrete morphing to diamond cascade)
down the path of her light.
reacquainting with the footfall of youth...
As she sips my raggedy dreams
and briar patch truths
she rides life like a starry stream fire~
Toting stone heart petals
back into the lavender of her spirit.
Once upon her time
she filled their spines with precious gems.
And they walked straighter.
Pearly faced with leopard mind.
A dreamy lace for hopeful men.
Stiletto tapped star(amplified),
they romped around the loins of time.
Played boomerang with happiness
'til the rocket fuel went dry.
Death chose to be her sable beau.
She left us wasted on plates of lye and crow.
We, the necklace of dying gems
(the fingerprint of hopeless men).
Complex messages
need a simple structure
Otherwise,
a reader is lost
The shorter the word,
the greater the meaning
Its judgment by value,
never by cost
‘The straighter the blade,
the sharper the edge
‘The sharper the edge,
the deeper the cut
‘The deeper the cut,
the more fatal the wound
‘Victory certain
—the truth bleeding free’
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)
Hoopinchakey
Down in the 'burbs forest surrounds
Night gets darker than a cemetery
Walkin' about will bring on the hoopinchakey....
His hair stands straighter than a power pole
His wings are airy and sticky as a web
His hands are like cold rubber with sharp little points
Many have seen 'im but few will agree....
If they really seen just how many
Fingers he has
'Cause your feet get the power
Ya skin gets the prickles
Then ya know the
Hoopinchakey
