Unforgettable
Not untouchable
However harmless
Richly caught
In the glove of
My universe
Breaking open the
Outer skies
To reveal new stars
New constellations
Abound your eyes
Pierce my ears
With your darting
Looks and smooth
Surprise
What wicked wings
Do fly on the wind
Of those who spy
For what they
Wish to have
Is hard to match
Like you
And I

The unsung
Cannot exist without feeling
Lucidity is a rebel
That finds a voice
Something with which
We can identify
Even exhausting struggle
Finds emancipation
The freedom
Sprung up like
A well in the core
A garden tended
Deep within
A harvest of optimism
Blind art and
Heart humiliated cries
Among the ruins
A daydreaming fox
Held suddenly motionless
Baring its teeth
At the grapes of
Glory and perseverance
In the blood red sky
Weathered by the fires
The villagers who settled here
Presented pale flowers
To the ones before them
At the shore whom
Were always wading at the bottom
Of each cliff in hollowed
Smiles
Accepting one another
Then place on the cloak
Of green pastures
Where if you lay us down
There is room enough
For this fabric to rest on
As a blanket for love making
And the blackbirds
Circle over with wear
Take the ring from my hand
And tie it up
In the length
Of your hair

In the same era
Cusped in some greater spine
Appointed to the reckoning
Of visionary wealth
Abundant showers
Animal instincts
Above despair
Beautifully transparent
The echos of medieval
Beasts are delivered
From the cave
It’s okay to give
Without receiving
In fact to be there
For someone else
Does not concede
That you are there for yourself
Look ahead to the sky
Past the personal defied
Emotions that want to hold
You back and away
Look past the clouds
Past the walls and
Dismal grey to say
The best thing
That will bring you
To the end
Where love is conquered
The destruction of friendship
Is vanquished
Leave no vacancy
For deep darkness
To destroy
Or take away
The better day
That shines upon
This moment
Or what our connection
Can truly mean
To one another
Come what may

I am a windsail
For all to find their way
Creeping over the wall
Guiding you through
Your nightmares
I have a gold chain
For you to hold
To draw you up
Like the length of my hair
From the bannister
We think our times are
Different
Yet so much remains the same
The stars the moon
A biodome of gloom
Would soon be wasted
In the exuberation
Of the slap from
Ocean wave
Make not your grave
Before me
But a light of
Glittered glory
I shall carry you
Like wind the vent
Of days
From Singapore to France
Maketh thy heart
An open chance
As to exist
In what big belly
Of life’s boat
Remains still precious
To stop the grinding
Of the loss
Let bitterness
Like nets be tossed
To hear the pecker
On clean wood
Vibrantly round
Procure the sound
Of yet another day
Rebounding
The sun hath risen once again
Majestically displayed

Wholesome talk
Helpful thoughts
Benefits the digging
And rebuilding
Friendships for peace
Time bends reason
Sparks the freedom
Opening the gates
Unselfish interests
Dearly loved
Are the residents
We keep
Shattered suspicions
Narrowed contritions
Territories of love as
The tree grows
Up from seedling life
To peek into the wise
Old eyes of owls
Shaped by riverbeds
From visionary history
Into the soil
And fields we’ve toiled
To be the words we read
The grains of knowledge
That we reap

Other fantasies
A treasure of tender
Attentiveness
Elemental endless
Scientists
What’s the formula
Potions of night and nothingness
Prized to be
Pressed up against
The lips like bowing
Heads of pink rust roses
Wisdom and humility
Letters to God
Good fortune dreaming
Blessings painted blue
In skies azure
You have such
Minimalistic measure
Beautiful messes
Fragrant tresses
Draped through
Long fingers curved up
Outwardly unfrozen
Eyes of love
Where would you
Have me list my heart?
In the crossword of
Some paper
An advertisement
Some new title
Of your favorite
Glossary or
Columned classifieds
Newspaper
Tell me how
To show you
Where I am

The darkest charisma
Is a love for clouds
And pipe dreams
That scream I want you
In the softest whisper
At your ear
For them the song
Is framed in stars
Around your face
Invaded not
Uncaged and translated
By some language
Within the sea
The letters we rely on
To describe our true feelings
Fall flat especially
When feelings don’t
Have letters
Whatever the words
Know that you are heard
In the deepest caverns
Some still untouched
In this ambitious heart
Awaiting your indelible
Receipt

Why not fumble over being
Shivering in our marrow
Before we’re dead and gone
Truly feel the absence
Of a grave exhilarating
In the beauty of life
Entering a new kind of spectrum
Autumn fortunes
Flamboyant ignitions
Patiently missing
Or not missing the past
Living now in the bad news
With the exception of lifting
The world up
An encouragement is
Like a comforter
A warm blanket
Wrapped up with a cool breeze
Drifting across the face
Almost like floating
In outer space
Or at least I think so
Only astronauts know
What role do we
Cast ourselves in?
How far can we be
From reality
Dog whistles
And cotton candy
One day I plan to be
A little more klutzy
A little less organized
The ultimate carefree
Finally loving
Every part of the
Less sympathetically
Monster hiding under our beds
Funny story is
The dark is rather comforting
Even though I’ve always been
Drawn to the light
The fastest lion in the jungle
Jumps into every heart
Why wait for sunlight?
How do we get wherever
We want to go anyway?
Looking back I never knew
I’d be here

I will say it again
Love must eat
The heart must sleep
Forever goes the
Little street that curves
And winds and rings
The chimes along
A path that has
Nay signs except
For those that
Travel through your mind
Left or right the journey’s
Same as that which
Travels forward back
And still I say again
Love must eat
The heart must sleep
Forever goes the way
In a culvert
Sipping on the ripples of you
I keep a lookout
For the skyline
Of your forehead
Enchanting silence blue
Between the poppy beds
And a colored pool is a
Mirrored view for two

Our souls are intertwined
You shine I shine
Jumping keeps us
Above the compass
Hidden in our blood
There’s still enough
Time left for Australia
Many more lines
Before we write the last one
If we spontaneously combust
We’ll do it together
Let our hair down
Turn our smiles up
Shakers of heaven and earth
Our fingertips rumble
The energy of everything
We touch intentionally
Mountains turn their peaks
As we fly by
The sky is a carpet
For you and I to glide
Independent dreamers
We wrote the constitution
Before language was born
A single letter streaming
In the shape of a heart
