We Live On Borrowed Time

On the wheels of our dreams
The hammer of Thor
Shall crack this fountain sky
What words shall find
The patient clock unwinds
We live on borrowed time

The Architects of Time

Your words --
Are the soft mortar
Between bricks and stones
Inside these mending walls

Your words --
Are stiff but fragile
Frames, building language and art

Words fill these empty spaces in our hearts
Thus, words are the architects of time

Chase a Yellow Poem

I caught 
a yellow poem 
in my hands, and 
it fluttered like a 
frighten flock of butterfly wings 

Spreading its 
yellow bright wings, 
Then gliding across 
a sea of gold, 
we landed gently 
as a ripple 
on the pond  
  
If yellow is 
the brightest color 
in the rainbow,
then, let me
chase a yellow poem
-- through your candlelight 

If we land
with both feet
on the ground,
I wonder, why  
we could not 
catch a yellow 
butterfly smile today

Love Has Everything Upon This Earth

love has everything 
upon this earth
that 
live and breathe 
this quiet place
why do we question her
let it be 
the 
voice of reason known
that 
shelters all of us
let hearts 
surrender to this quest 
nor
do we walk away 
from 
true love and happiness
yet 
lovers fall in love 
to quench their thirsty souls
oh love has everything 
upon this earth

Lord We Go On To Mars

mars
stretch out 
your
red falcon wings
we feel
your 
back to the wind
your eyes
your feathers
are
orange flames,
that
soar
through
pink salmon sky
in ships 
that 
we crafted
oh lord 
we go on to mars

The Space Inside of the Rose

the
iridescent soul
the
space
inside of
the rose
the
place
where
both 
lovers go
deep inside of the rose
towards our destiny

Captain Breckenridge

captain Breckenridge, listen to what I said
the crew is hungry because they are not getting fed
our rations are low and if you give it time, 
we shall have a mutiny on our hands
just give me the order and say it with me,
captain Breckenridge
someone shall walk the plank and
the hungry sharks are wolves tonight,
aye, and the sharks are waiting overboard, 
to be fed

Ending His Quest

Don Quixote
De La Mancha
ending his quest
for the Code of Chivalry
must not die a silent death
along the golden road of Spain
witnessing a fiesta red Sunset
while the Mariachi windmills and
blue dragons sing and chant

God Is Our Dream

We chase the eyes of God
Through this cosmic dream
Are there multiple Gods
Walking through space and time
We want to know, all that you know
Satellite probes stretching to the stars
Colonizing this copper moon and this iron mars
How did we get here, God, to where you are?
Where is this beginning
Where is this end
You gave us this curious mind for
Asking deep questions like
Who, what, when why, and how?
The eyes of God dwell in this soul or
God is our dream

i take
