Sky Grain


To wherest can I conclude you'll be
The day is vast
can a blind man see?
fill my air with your lungs throughout
give me breath for my stature is stout

Author's Note: dedicated to my friend davis who is going through some hard times right now. Interestingly enough if you look too closely at the picture it is really grainy. I purposely did this to the photo. But far away it looks beautiful. Perhaps sometimes in life (as in viewing the photo)we need to take a step back. Perspective is often a big picture process.

Why said I

I fear the loss of precipitation
the loveliness of it's drops
the water falling on a hot summer day
all refreshment lost

I fear the death of innocence
when man can no longer gaze long at a rose
when wilted are his leaves gone dry
soil trodden by his big toes

my concern is for that aching pain
making so many give in
the hurt pressing on a tattered soul
deceiving the eyes of hope's kin

for the glorious seed of brighter days
filled with sunshine and breezy shores within
are purposefully placed alongside blue shores
no eye unscathed will win

so listen and hope fast my love
let this all comfortably sink in
broken feet cannot measure perfect streets
to some things we must always cling

Peace alongside beauty

I looked at the edge of sin
shirt gripped
backside

holding tight
my savior cried

away from the ledge
he said with tears in his eyes
this is as far as you go
don't you know without me you'll die

where are you my pretty
dont disregard the truth for a lie

I fight with you pity
do not dispair
do not bed with the father of lies

this cannot conquer you beloved
this cannot dry even one eye
for dance in the spring of my beauty
lavish yourself in my eyes

for my heart is a land of plenty
rooms filled with incense mirth and frankincense
even angels rest by my side

come now
play
and be made pretty
stay firm and realize

to be robed in my glory
is all you ever truthfully desired

What a Friend I've Found

Autumn Tried

when leaves fall
the trees are stripped bare
when leaves fall
the naked tree lays bare

when all the rustling settles
when all is said and done

wind beaten the leaves all fallen

the tried and true tree

beauty hard won

Demon Days

pretty sky toned feet

used to wonder where the art went
then I looked with my neck out the door

went a few blocks down to get coffee
the whole staff were writing poetry behind the serving door

next I went to see bobbi the young butcher
he sung with his lyre to his new love

but if this weren't enough for inspiration
I thought to go for a walk down the street

all along the sidewalk were mime's
and photographer's making pictures pretty in the street

from the very store where every morning
my sister bought her finest meats

and all the day long I danced with the world
hunchbacked singing with gaiety

unaware of this new world order
this secret hidden beneath our streets

it seems life goes beyond with once we thought our pity
it seems life is beyond what we touch everyday with out feet

Idolatry


the idols of the day
will not sweep me away

because if this is beauty
why does it suffocate me

the idols of the day
will not pave my way

my brain is to precious
my soul relentless

I will not serve this
my graven lord's presence

I will resist the temptress
my spirit

led by
some greatness

crossed by
transcendence

love or something like it

I had to see it seems
love is blind
it ran me over today
three hands hauling ass in her truck
dirty car from being in the muck

It seems love wears bifocals
but still can't see
yet she always drives way over 130

yes love is as blind as a bat
with all the fashion accessories
with not
to match

her gucci bag
along with payless shoes
coco chanel knock offs
with tribal tattoos

love it seems doesn't know down from up
doesn't know how to pull itself out
from being stuck

love doesn't know how to add one plus one
in order to get two
it keeps you up late at night
hollering the things you aught to do

its perplexing
annoying
and says really dumb things
it even makes your gag reflex flutter
and sing

when it kisses you it twitches
and says I'm not feeling all right
then after it rejoices when you leave after
that memorable night

it's not calm after a lovely day
it pulls out a revolver to shoot you
after everything in the world goes ok

so love it seems leaves one with more than doubt
it haunts you
draws you near
even if peril finds you out

raptureness

the thought of you
rapture
everything you do
rapture
your perfect weight
rapture
caught up in memory's gaze
rapture
your eye's your hair
rapture
your laughter clearing my darkest day
rapture
for your love is nobility
rapture
bringing out the best in me
rapture
our love writes elegant poetry
rapture
romanticizing what heaven has given
rapture
for I thank the Lord above
rapture
for giving me only one true and first love
absolute rapture

Lynn my love

like a hard hit that can't miss
your love is on the tip of both my lips

though try I might to shake the force
I'm witless, out of ideas, and gladly amiss
waiting for your call and kiss

juicy be the syllable consonant mix
word that's like candy on my lips

its so great
like a treasure this pirate can't resist

I would deep sea dive for a booty
that gave my nose such a well smelling gift
all me shipmates would think this be to much trouble
for any treasure so often likened to madness

but I be the captain of this hear ship
and me lover be purely bliss

like a firewood gone blazing
her love is on my lips

so come here go there
and never a soul
will I find who's friendship and inner being
match her bar brawl skill, beauty and wit

I'm lost in her sea
given to love's storm
all my person raptured
love it seems is worth the grand trip

Authors note - For my love Marissa. My girlfriend who's voice and love makes me smile.

The piper did play


the piper did play
and some say

he saved a kingdom
united a land into one

the piper of whaletown
played in a blue gown
skipping merrily along his way

dancing with little ones
and very short nuns
the piper of whaletown
had all thier hearts won

then one day the king summoned
it seemed his anger flared
and from hades most certainly did come

for he was unrested
because of all the badness of life he won

play for me you gay little piper of whaletown
give me a song
or my wrath will fall on this land like dung

all the children and nuns
will no longer dance to your songs
with merry

all cheer will cease
like a matador with bulls horns stung

so play now
play quick little piper
for your king is bed with anger
your notes decide the dawn to come

so the piper did play a melody
wondering if his requiem mass
would next come

on and on his belly gave lovely note and key
on and on with harmony
on and on with melodic pleasantries

but the king did stop him
expresionless
seemingly unaffected
by the piper's musical stress

now listen here
the piper then gulped
I hear your song piper
and I do like
a song did bring melody
to a once dead life

it seems there is joy in dancing
it seems goodness can come from a heart slain
it would seem you are a medical practitioner
for a piper can cure pain

save me did my cloud


i never thought it would be
gladly
here i am
bare feet
legs crossed and gently sniffling
but floating on the trees

atop a cloud

floating on the trees
floating on the trees

nothing conquering we
happy here
up here

floating with a cup of tea
looking and windy

floating on a tree
top a fluffy cloud
not a trace of misery

nothing getting the best of me here
climbing into the stratosphere
thank you cloud
because of you

oops in the wind
there goes a tear

nevermind my words draw near

as I say and realize

I'll always stay the merrier

Author's Note: Jesus Saves

Truth stopped that day

Did you not see?
With arms violent stretched
With hands bare no wit
You reached forthwith
and attempted to tear down the whole sky

A silent pity
My father hears
His son cries
With unknown misery
Arms outstretched
You grappled and tried
To tear down the entire sky

But alas in that moment
My master did care

then forthwith a child billowed
And with a wet stint
God pierced the sky
Rain like his tears did drop
Angels with sunken hair flopped
All activity in heaven stopped
To watch Robert’s heart drop


Author's Note: for Robert

yes it is dying.
but who is dying.
yes it's a new day.
but who's day?

I run and I run each day brings a new song
I keep and I store
constant my fill in a cloudy storage barn

content I am
but for some reliance is on their own might
disaster be this world's caretaker
death it's captain shining bright

what happened to you
women?
it seems you've fallen a far way from eden

you used to be an object of reflected perfection
a man's perfect companion
a desired incense
a ballad
beauty with discretion

what happened to you women?
because I long for a companion
searching but not finding
looking at myriad shadows and smokey reflections

dream car seven


dream car seven
I said to the conductor
upon the boarding way

on the train
its destination
nonstop to Bombay

am I alright I inquired
with all Ive been through today
can anything be seen clearly
can I hold onto anything my eyes want to stay

you see I'm a dreamer
a passing waking contender
a fighting man's inspiration
a sunny day without symptom

but today you see mr conductor
I'm a foggy whimper
a disillusioned sinner
a loose necked fearer

can anything be the way I thought it to be?
can this world give me anything but misery?

I stayed the course
I fought the fight
but still it comes
still with fright

with pangs of growling
and earthquakes that wont cease
this dream escapes
no shoes
all cold feet

I tire of walking
hair and sweat irritating my feet
giving up to abandonment
on a train
no more clouds will I meet

rain won't chase me
my parallel world will cease
in my car I'll forget a memory
nightmares will fear me under the sheets

for when I wake I will be elsewhere
no more quandary to seek
all my questions will be answers
in the utopia I find
on the better side of bleak

this be my hope mr conductor
this be my reasoning for our meet
here's my ticket with hand steady
now please
show me to my seat

wept for me

and then pain came
stripped the world bare
and pain came
left only with your hand
then pain came
everything ran cold

nothing here
only one step away from alone
just you hand now
making my home
gripping me warm
new to this known

your with me now
your hand in mine
together we moan

sky blinds

sky I see when I look up
so perfect so blue
I look up there is no folly
positively perfect
when I
look at you

then down my eyes come
like a downpour
ugh its nothing like looking at you

sky where are you I ponder
where are you and your blues
this down here is pity
no trace from what I see
no hint of you

sky don't ever leave me
don't be apart from what I see or do

because this world here is drowning in pity
nothing at all like you
