THE TASK MASTER

THERE is a wheel in the garden
a garden where roads have
traveled by love and tears.

There within the attic are
toys whereby children have
grown — grown to know how
to share and forgive enemies
who love the things they love.

And then there is the field
behind the house; where often
what has been said is no longer
remembered but still felt:

forgive you. Do you forgive
me for hating you when you said
what I cannot remember now?

Yes. A different time
but the heart always knows.

And time is the task master
that never forgets.

But then, we shall always
know.

NOCTURNES BY MIDNIGHT

AND for every memory whose hands have touched
my hungry lonely moments; I am always here,
between laughter and weeping; singing and
shouting. Just today (which I realize is
everyday in eternity) I walked across a crack
that contained my soul; the sidewalk made of
gold. And while I write feeble words to express
emotions that are unobtainable the other more
whole piece of my heart is sleeping in a distant
land; a place where upon the grace of God
laid a golden egg that born my true peace and
happiness. Her love constructed my world
before she was born and before I knew her
human name. The indescribable has a song
and colors and feelings; the light between
swaying branches of a tree; the smell of a
new word; the touch of tender sight and
undying kisses from a breeze from nature.

Knows.

And we are the children yet to be born.
And some who are grown but dead children.
The unknown.

YOU HAVE BECOME AND WERE ALWAYS

You have become and were
always the Spring within my
gentle heart.

As swans of emotions
gilded and silent
the moon as orchestra.

And numberless roses
who petals by kisses
gently fall upon lips.

Ours.

The divine within you
and within me a stupor
by love drunkenness.

Where once were broken
nerves are now nestled
eggs as warm with love.

Us.

CITY NIGHT SING, SING, SING

Passion, when did you deliver/ when i met you
the hammer upon this hungry anvil –> knock,
knock –> knocking! Kiss, hand in that hungry
lip-lock angry lip wanting passion! —->the
road up to the river was empty until we arrived||

Bridge. Fog. Music and smoke from a
lit cigarette and hips thrusted into the
imagination of darkness from night time
stories . the wet shore of anguishing
waves spoke: we can be together — only
you, only me.

the CITY NIGHTS
LAUGHING
WAITING FOR NO ONE
AND IN WATER, IN HIPS,
UNTIL NIGHT SEEPS INTO MEMORIES
ESCAPING DAY.

I WISH MY LOVE

i wish my will for today
and tomorrow
i wish to never forget our love
i wish to forget that yesterday
(and then before)
i wished to death the love of us

and eternity is without time
and love is more
that love is ours
a love alive outside of time

i wish my fears my love i feared
i wished today my love ~
them all away!
and the sun blew a kiss I ate it
all inside for me
that love reside inside of us
my love!

Degrees of Desires and Needs

then Wishing is less than
a grip of strong wanting.
then whispering an echo
and feeble moreso
than needing where mountains
shake from determination
and then a breeze as degrees
of desires and needs!

In All Our Dreams

i am when was a good idea
that broken wheel
without a carriage or
passenger whose journey
by most unreal eyes
that can see all 4 seasons
in that glimpse
of forgotten reason;
that begging my sleeping brain
the permanently attentive
mind could never be yours /
so be it \ in all our dreams!

GNOSSIENNE

By ways of morning stars
and dew-lipped kissing
dreams i am here
Sideways within my arms
tulips swaying colors
spent you are there
A mourning comes as night
wanes into the seams
of lasting pasts
at last we are One.
