Conspiracy

a conspiracy
of down
slept this head
so much
that it fell silent.

What occurs
in that mystery
behind the
closed eyes
of a child.

the conspiracy
ended and
a conspiracy
began more of
a fellowship of
birds singing
and he awoke
and looked down
upon the conspiracy of dawn.

The Everything About Us

It was this then, that in time
comes and goes

Like in moving air where it may
traveling through the mornings
finding winter then sunshine in
the dark cold left right of quiet

And when you turn your head
it's there, living in walls and seconds
in love with the everything about us

Mary

Rosy as sunsetting hair
and eyes colliding
a pin stuck in his hand
a thorn of plenty

As the black -
As the dove tailed bird
flew accross the -

the bird swept the sky
and the animal in me
said I would never fly

reptiles at my feet aloud squeak
the queen has killed the king and
left him to memory

In the dismal twilight I awoke
like the smoke from a chimney rising
I climbed out of bed and there before
my eyes lay the lady of the skies.

.

A Soft Light

Inside my eyes lies the blue and purple
sea and a million lights from within this
cell of vibrancy breath a splotchy thing
it swims as the ethereal jellyfish pulsing
a soft light in the darkness.

The Return On Tomorrow

In grey golds the wandering feet of night stood still
circled by sorrow below nesting birds such was the
pause that an audience of whispers rose into the sky
but interest waned as it always had and all withdrew
into the uncontrolled memories racing in the undergrowth
examining sideways the stars in their eyes as passers by
thrown folded into yesterday like pennies tossed on the road.

Notes From A Heart Flying

I think ahead
leaning on full speed
calling all stars
a shout out to your revolutions.

The clear of pure waters reflects a sky
caught in the magnificence of your smile
in glass prints a face
in the close of space between us.

The Now Of I Love You

Blue falls on the river
tonight falling and recoiling
in a splashing wave of stars
like frozen rain.

I miss the most of you that
I know which is a little piece
of something small but powerful
No burning flames no one the
sames just the now of I love you.

A Christmas Tale (my card for 2010)

..
..

I shut down my site so I wouldn't be tempted to post. I have to devote all my time without any distractions to my business during the second and third weeks of December. On reflection, maybe it's a little weird to do that.
I guess I'll just leave this note up for a while instead of deleting my blog.

When I was a kid I enjoyed Christmas so that's what I try to think about during the holidays...I hope you all have a nice holiday season.

Winter's Teeth

.


My world has

collapsed inward

I am still.
.

I Love You So What

.
If only I was not afraid

to touch the sky!

Alas, I have no monkey's

tail with which to try

and grasp that skinny

branch upon thy bough

that reaches out too close

for me to ever know.

.

The Word

improbable

its crushed smile

suffocates.

It sentences to hunger

then puts into empty

pockets coins of desire

soon spent decorating

the mind.

Unkind and pitiless

it is more savage

than impossible.

Ode To Earth Island

.

O Beauty Born of Barren Rock,

O Mortal Sculptor's Dream.

What unknown miracle beheld Thy shores,

Of the Void and the lifeless sea.
