I am a painter. I am a poet.
I am a dreamer and a soul.
It’s not my choice but just
proclivity of God’s mind.

So I weep for all painters
and poets (and it’s so hard
to be unkind) and everything
is just the way it seems.
The world sings to me,
“Sir, sit down and have
a drink” and I weep.

And somewhere within your
mind you say:
“a human I’ll never be”

Within the mist of time
within the wish of hearts
within the mesh of minds
i’ve tried to show you
love and soul
Far below, a warble sings
the singing feathered heart
of distinct ecstasy
and when we dance.
nature is high up where
faith as fashion climbs
and earth upon a point
warbles within your hand
like a bird that sings.
(i use to say my soul
was salvation i saw
the angels of this dance
and i’m old fashion…)
if i say i love you and
love buys your soul
will you dance as angels
fall from heaven into
our hearts? I see moving
life wheel fashion and
i say i love you
dear, i’m still in
love with you!

WIDEST memories a saddest smile
why the world grins three smiles
into a dead house within saddest eyes
why are there soldiers of my heart
here with the dead dancing
with the invisible ones; i say
no word can hold them here
a falling broken wing striding
after gliding massacre tonight
did we laugh) and we dance
like we’ll dance for freedom
and joy within hands too quick
and a mouth in too much anguish
forming a form of protest
with fresh faces and another
love another torture chamber
dancing with their mothers
dancing with their fathers
and working the machine
of life in words of “what
else can I do?” we dance
with invisible ones
One day laughing not(saying
the world may be too big)
holding one tiny this
with time And thinking
of your armor

IF you remember me
come a little further
— why be afraid
touch me and take
my love across fields
of barley And within
my arms you fell
my love and forgot the
sun in her jealous sky
(and promises believe
that anything which
has ever been thought
can never spoil this
or a forever thought)
if you remember me
and love stay and
gaze awhile if you
stay so be my love
and forget the sun
within her jealous sky

AMOROSO now that i have
found you within
a shade of your smile
i am caballero
glitter-bug
i am an ocean
moving sand and earth
for you
i am inamorato
for you
sun burns dark side
the quiet fears of love
flow through me
and i lie here for you
burning for you
and the blood assassin
passing on eating dreams
in nighttime fall
and your love flows
through me
and i burn for you

We are obsessed
(we are)
with pretending.
Always showing another face;
And so am I.

Then let’s remove the masks.
And run far and wide away-
(I’ll leave my keys in the door)

You were always
(we are)
the different one too cool.
To care is saying nothing
aside from a comment on the weather

So we are.

And when I consider love
you are faultless in your ways
and I walk toward you with a rose
and through the opened gates of
your heart.

Behind my back i hold sweet dreams
I’ll paint you the sun across your heart
that shines forever and a day;
the love an emerald cut with truncated
corners of our hearts.
I shall show how the flowers bloom
and how your soul unstartled by
narrow steps of this dream
recovers the moon within your eyes
