I seek in my heart...

Staring at the ceiling
Blank canvas with a soothing voice
White noise to my eyes...

Transparency
in motion,
misty slow through frozen fast,
generates white noise and surfaces....

Why are you so at ease?
Mircle magic has nice plants
Do you see the seeds and the wise
It's all there with nothing at all....

Li Po, the Wanderer
Was appointed Court Poet
Yet left again in haste,
Preferring the bright noise of a waterfall
To the white noise of courtesans and kings....

ten trumpeter swans
making a French horn-like call
white noise of snowfall

French horn rehearsal
swimming among river reeds
Alaskan concert

Slightly slouched sleeping in my sitting chair
Static sounds screaming on screen
Wake me while watching me

To Caleb my 7 year old who challenged me to write a poem about TV...

Dark rides
on 
     white noise
stealth
in
    comfortable
    cunning
trimmed
in 
    soft cotton
waiting
in 
     rigid 
     corners
to
     fully rise
and
take
me 
   down...

consciously
turn on the
subtle mental
white noise 
in order to 
drown out 
the meaningless 
distracting 
commotion
that lay in the 
background of 
the subconscious 
mind as memories 
not needed any further...

Seafoam dreams massage deep into my scalp,
as uncomely thoughts drift drain-ward destined. 
A warm, white noise water rush of comfort 
cradles me back to the days of my womb home, 
with the only goal of growing and thriving.

Three hundred miles
Only a few hours
Faded green signs;
The sleep in my eyes
Crackling stations 
Between mountains 
They comfort me
Like a good book
Or the pull of a memory
Little glimpses of peace
White noise moments
They're gifts from time...

Waking to murmurs	
Hum of smooth white noise 
Or waves slapping rocks

Through mirror-like glass
I see russet wings
Dampened by dewdrops	
.  		
Walk to the kitchen, 
my feet soft and bare 
on tiles cracked, and 

wish the sea
surrounded
so sinking

floats...

If I talk to you, don’t say one word-
Speak to me forever
If I text you, don’t give me a symbol-
Send me every letter
If I write to you, don’t pen me a sentence-
Compile every word that’s clever
If I sing to you, don’t hum a melody-
Compose an endless measure...

In a visionary second, 
bloody eyes are at pin- point.
A psyche of scratches and bubbles,
in a white noise trance.

A crack and a shimmer
in the mind, the eyes,
from the pistol, 
and wavering with the stars.
The amazing lights, in a vivid flash, 
are gone....

A neighbor is running the vacuum.
Whether or not she is cleaning--
Well, that's another thing.
It's 7:00 a.m.
And the dirt won't wait.
By 8:00 a.m.
It'll be too late.
I grab my pen
And my white-noise machine;
For these are my sanity
While the inmates run free....

Trapped and static,
particles infiltrate my breath.
I am compressed,
I am held,
this cell,
this hell.

Hate, 
rejection,
approval,
my captors.

I immerse myself in white noise,
I reside in sorrow,
in my despair,
in chains,
in tears,
my cellular embrace....

Silent screams echoing throughout my soul, 
turn to white noise after a while, 
constructing impenetrable walls, 
yet unable to crack a smile. 
Happiness such a memory, 
if it was ever attained at all, 
lied to by heart and brain, 
as the trust leaves during the fall....

watching the world go bye
i dont feel anything
i only see it as a dream
peoples words, full of wanting
its all white noise to me
sensing their demands ,i close my eyes
to only hear my own soul talking to me
asking and not demanding
my only friend,though  others pretend
its only me in the end...

Do you know about white noise?
I learned of it during my most severe days.
Millions of mosquitoes condensed on a TV screen,
Or the frowning of a street mime.
Now balance the radio knob,
Between any frequency you might rope.
Only when you look up the sky,
White noise is the throbbing vein of your unborn eye....

She hurry's through the darkened door
Alone in the hall, she begs for more
Fast up the stairs, black and old
Wondering where the light will unfold
The rooms fall beneath her, crumbling as one
Instantly, the house is undone
As white noise sings to the sunless structure
She holds her heart, and feels it rupture...

Snow cat
so wild
and white
black spots
will hide
and blend
with ease
by still
black trees
he looks
he stalks
black prey
in cold
chill brush
black eyes
stare through
he hears
white noise
a crouch
a lunge
a strike
to catch
and eat 
white meat
his prize.

Black canvas
Curved space
Sterling stars
Evolved grace
Painted planets
Yellow sun
White noise
Prodigal son
Bleeding brushes
Dripping plight
Solemn strokes
Sequestered light
Turgid sky
Acid rain
Burning questions
Dangling reigns
Charcoal commandments
Acrylic themes
Smeared signature
Scientific schemes...
