In the Arena

Is the old way out?
in this way only is
romance about
the way I love you

I can sense you in the area
on a sign outside where
the gates to the ocean open
lay the earth behind my blinds

A wedding bell chimes
the lull to be kept in
pursuing a hope without gradually
caring whatever that means
growing within love
in the beginning
dreaming there is no left there

Squeezed by her legs
and pressed into the sun
a place a home
the earth behind
my blinds
opening the floodgates of an ocean.

Each Day's A Chance

Each day is a chance to watch love grow

  And I flew with a Dancer's Heart

feeling Love's music awakening my soul

            

.

Named By The Sky

We are alive

And the trees lift their

golden arms and the clouds

flower into gothic messengers

of reawakening

And as startled -

as delighted by the

morning bird's song

In us contained

the truth, and a chance

opaque, wild,  inescapable

as we drag the sea through

and believe in silence.

.

A Thousand

  .
                                         

We had
a thousand scars for every one he had
 taken a thousand more pills
and resurrected ourselves a thousand more times

Waking  last  night  thinking

about     l i f e    wondering
questioning  if  it's  all - right  

to love somebody this much 

the dangers

of being this
                   high and  the

                   mistakes you

 can make.   Like  asking

 to  be  stabbed  to death

 because  you  like  r e d .

                                                          .
                                      

                                 

.

Through Me

She moves

 through me as Spring moves
gently through the lines written on her leaves.

Lifting slowly through my veins

 Softly speaking to me 

Of the Life

That She sustains

..

Life Is An Infinity Of Change

.

As day spins into night
the sun burning hot recedes from view
and dusk captures the imagination.

                                                 Life is an infinity of change...

We Saw The Sun Break Through The Sky

.

Each night

the air
 trusted the sun

to turn her
sky

But when the
wind complained
last night

hiding the moon
and rain 
chanting
we grew
scared and confused
knowing  what was
at stake

We knew without light
we could not live, but we also
knew we had to trust the dark

So we moved below

 the skin's unimportance

and trusted our seeing
to the dragon's eye

And we held together
through the stormy weather
until  the sun
broke through
the sky.

.

*Dragon's Eye - love, wisdom, power
  compassion & understanding. Sometimes represented with the triangle symbol.

When I Felt Her Words

When I read
 her words 

   I knew that I was in Love.

'With a jolt

my heart sped

 when thy voice

 like lightning

   struck so quickly.'

Seeing, Believing, and Feeling
their beauty
 Burning  Like Fire  behind  my  eyes...

.

A Closeted Dream

The storm 

arose in his mind.
A cloud spoke

'it's your turn to die!'

the rain wept

while the sun hid
enraptured
in the honey of space.

Thank you. !

I thought I would pick one, ( or two, I might add another), of my favorite poems from last year
and post them here ( where they might be seen), for my new friends and followers of my blog.

...And it's sad that how much knowledge we have makes such a difference in how we think.


Here's always there so why believe anything? So what if I don't believe in anything I can still believe in believing in something that I don't believe in. I hadn't been myself and then I felt what I believe, believing in what I didn't believe in, but now wasn't always behind me, and all that time, had I believed what I didn't believe in,  I might have laughed, and had I died first and could choose again, I might rather die believing in something that never happened, that I didn't believe in, than being sure that nothing would happen at all

How Much Is It Worth

How much is it worth ?

not counting money

If I think I can talk

like a friend to you

and laugh cry or smile

for us
and you

but then it's only me

trying hard in this way

to say

something

to listen to you

as if I knew

you could really love me.

We are surrounded by extra-nuclear forces ...

 and things are   NEVER   as  they    s e e m !

She is everything
but how much is that worth?
I stare
into her magnificent eyes
I am bling
just staring
as she burns through my lenses
so strong is her heat

I feel her breathing back

The penetration lights
infernos inside me
as she brands me
with the iron of her
inexplicably delicious
fires

and as a bridge worker            working  out   at   the   end   of   the   beam
returns
to a  b u i l d i n g
momentum

 in the stink of a thigh
flies my stink


and under a Freudian Slip
died my quip

...in the blink of an eye

4. Some other rhyme replaced  idioms for
    "in the blink of an eye":

Added approx: 3:47 PM April 6, 2011 - and changed numerous times thereafter...
 In the two days following the original post, I lost a couple of followers because of the 'vulgarity' in this post. I won't be changing my words in the future due to the potential damage from some perceived vulgarity or crudeness. That said, most of my posts will be PG with an occasional
PG-13.

  Thank you for bearing with me during this expression of sensuality. 

The Moon Shines From The Inside

The Moon Shines From The Inside

and 

seasons

 celestially

those in whom love grows

Her voice
now ever strong
casts past the dark shadows 

with awakening sounds
that ring out loud
from the deep of her body

In a time gone by
the river moon
 that swims so peacefully now

was besieged and battered

and swam frantically

 left scarred in a

hypnotic introspection
with the sea

But now sings
a rhapsodic harmony
of the mesmeric glow

that shines from
 within her

Breathtakingly
beautiful

She beams through the darkness
determined

to rekindle in others
 the flames

of eternal
 Love.

..

My Pet

Traveling at
light speed
without direction
the product of a creation
that bedazzles and befuddles
that gives birds 
branches to sing on
and gave me the ability to pretend
it's OK living without you

that lets me tell you
I love you more now
than forever
now more than
ever before

I beg
to be drawn back
into your mysterious
sketchbook
to ride on the center
between gravity.


Love,
    an incomplete disaster
