“I AM shores
eating you”
said the waves.
“And I am life,
ebbing you!”
said God.
I am ME,
said soul!
Building
dreams by
sandcastles
upon my shore!
Is simply LIFE!

HOPE IS A FOREST

“i am ugly but i dream”

said the toad.

“And I am wings,

but just butterfly”

said the forest princess.

And the dream with wings

flew toward the morning glory,

and all her dew;

and nothing could deny

the forest bloomed

in a marriage of

hope and despair!

SOUP AND THREAD

THERE’S a golden thread
within my noodles,
and needle-head too!
I have yet to find a soup
to stitch a flavored soul.
My spirit-favored lover
where is my spoon?
“Over here,
within my heart!”

ET INDE HUC (From There to Here)

FRIEND: And where are you from?
ME: I’m from another place far away,
which no one can visit from here.
FRIEND: How is that?
ME: Do you believe in time travel?

LOVE MISCARRIAG-ED!

MY lost, my little life!
Before sunrise
a death sat __
my belly once full
now defeated!
A cruel birth.
Me: an invisible
mother whose
swollen hearts
ache to feed!
Your mouth —
my heart,
I wish to feed,
but only bleed!

UPON THE HILL GENOA

Broken roads leading to nowhere
I felt the end of our path —
and closed my eyes again.
it is the end |||
So many miles to our end,
and you shouted denial
but it is the end and I
felt the world move again.
I dreaded and mourned
this day, it is a dead-end
and I leave all I know again
feeling my heart burst when
I died upon the hill Genoa
and my tears fell but I stood
tall upon my falling soul.
And where you went I followed
even in death I put my hands
within yours as you run from
the danger of life and that death
you love so much

It’s a colliding HillLove
called Genoa

AND I’D CRY

AND i’d cry
if my last tear
hadn’t died
falling for you

SIlENCE SPEAKS

Could silence speak,
what might it say?
Invariably it’s message
should be:
“If I speak, could you
hear? If you’ve listened,
then my voice you know.”
I, my soul and mouth
speechless…
and silence spoke to me!
