i may walk lightly through days
while…did you see the stars?
they fell into my pockets
and one with holes i keep,
where souls go when
life is somewhat-like
the dug hole for the dead
7′ by 3′ is a testimony
to the largeness of human life
then please do not stand upon
this grave and weep:
the phone shall never be answered
the message someday may be received
the blue jay in snow always sings
the fallen heart glints in lost love
the poet lives by many constructed words
When I stand by this grave I am not six
feet deep but three miles upward into
the uplifting rush of a brilliant sky

SO i’m with you
and don’t wanna play
games with y0u
when i’m so sad
my heart withers
waiting here. So you
are outside of my
skin and i’m within
yours //
go ahead stab me
with words knives love me
still i’m with you
i don’t wanna be dead
but with you i live
so hoping for a smile
saw your eyes when you
stabbed me — come here
tell me how it felt when
we shared an oak tree
two backs leaning there
when you cried — withered
soul i kept you alive
and now you leave me
you are my everything almost
everyone i almost loved
and now i die without you

I am so always longing
is it for you? Do you
ever doubt it? I can make
you so sure about it
If I should ever say dying
is beyond believing then
what could living do to me?
I may not always show you
how my heart is like
all the stars above you
then I’ll make you sure
about it
If you should ever leave
life could be a world
where I dream about you
(dreaming; doing life,
dreaming; living pain)
And the universe conspires
believing you are meant
for me and God only knows
what I would do without
you (love is my only
mind i live — with
you). Show to me what you’d
do with me//if we loved.

( yOur so… )
FULL of passion and giggles
so now she’s sad
i frown for you
and when i’m with you
i don’t want to be
with you
an enormous window mourning
sunsets too
like the child within me
she’s within you
too alone in the dusk
with you// the wind plays
Rachmaninoff and your hair
ties a knot within my heart
good heart a desire to please
and my head in a deep freeze
and (if) you(r) face ; my skies,
tomorrows are deeply blue
with a burning sun within all
my soul and fatal eyes
it’s only like when
i’m with you
never want to be with you
could never leave you

Today’s a creme sherbet life
where dresses break sunlight
and we’re so lost and lonely
not the first time — won’t
be the last time and we close
our eyes
the pushing curtain of today
And when todays are nighttimes
we ride upon white ponies
we scream it’s not the first
time crushing the feeling of
our cries we close our eyes
the curtains pushing
today into night
so close your eyes
the curtains you love
pushing dreams into tomorrows
(hey, Jude remember me)
Close your eyes and these curtains
are life …close your eyes
for another life and we push
away until today comes
so close your eyes
the universe sings her lullaby

Rode upon a cloud through rain
right through stress and life
she guided me like i’m tears
washed away all my fears
say, ‘are you ready to ride?’
i said, ‘SHAMBHALA”
like children
when the halls lit life
within our souls oh wee!
oh yeah oh we
(in the rain wash away my shame)
saw the light in your eyes
and SHAMBHALA oh we sing
‘yeah yeah yeah’
how does God love
tell me, how does life
balance pain? Oh hey
,yeah, hey yeah oh well
it’s how well you live life
and everyone is lucky and kind
Oh wee oh yeah SHAMBHALA
we’re all children in His eyes

WHEN love’s cold we cry
women seem so wicked
when hearts are so strained
men seem so distant
when love is so ugly
when we’re alone
when life is down
fears come out
when you’re so weak
hearts are so alone
when lovers are so
unwanted it seems so
cold when we’re so
hungry for love
no one knows how
to live for love
Lovers roaming nights
like when you’re down
when love’s cold
we cry and we all are
so wicked when hearts
are so strained
hearts seem so distant
opened mouths say
‘when you’re strange’

IN quiet nights i see how
we kissed goodbyes and knew
how love is so wild like
memories that wain
upon trees and bluejays
but through the time
i kissed your tears
over and again
with eyes that know
how shadows ran
across the breeze
in brush-stroked love
So say hush my heart
let’s watch the yonder
where celestial wheels
roll across the blue
spirits crying.
we sketched our hearts
in the chill of seasons
and how i know now
all the words you said
and i did not listen
and you suffered insanity
but now i see how flaming
flowers blaze within you
and weather-faces blow
memory — and how i
love you now.
Quiet nights comforting
floating clouds.

You walk within my dreams
–> last night
a thought so near to me
and endeared to me.
but you couldn’t quite
discern me and you:
a stage like
a melody holding up
the world inside you
–a big secret wins
you over like a few
actors pacing from
shadow to shadow
too far apart. So i
stretch myself like
a shadow actor explaining
ticket tax and we live
in such bad product
: to meet my glory,
but my secret hovers
over my life to keep you
reaching like heaven; are
we dead citizenS or survivorS?
iT IS THE pulse of poetry.

i was in war when the call came
speakers blaring ‘take cover’
and you said goodbye dear
continents away in flesh and spirit
went the dream into the fire
why were you so quiet?
when heaven fell.
Baghdad is a adolescent face
full of acne
and the sand damper killing
vibrations.
So carefully I crawled into
the foxhole and cried for life
and love — one war won (i lived)
another lost (in love).
