CELESTIAL POLYGAMY

My heart aches — fossil time
a secret kept close —
beneath breastbone
no macabre dear
easy one this day
but a fact parlayed
in truth today
i am crushed
in realization now
that not one but two women dead
who passed a long ago — past time
that my heart finds deep love
who wishes to know i ask!?
and for what reason compels you
oh! Dickinson and Browning
is polygamy  accepted in heaven?
only cupid knows yet…

LISTEN NOW

NOTHING ever listens
but hearts sing
and smiles glisten
and souls believe
life is a red color
And who am I dear
not a one to fit
in any clothing
and my skin cries
wish to give it back
and i would sing
in a rain without doubt
so easy to say to you
that i believe in you
everyday — not for me
but for the world…
and listen to me now
that i would be alone
if not for the love
and smiles you give me

ERRINESS OF LIFE

do you know
the eeriness
of life —
shadow speak
innuendo
false love
a strangeness
psychotic being
teeter-totter
a slice o’ knife
against the heart
and in morrow
all is fine
crazy be whom
the poet say you?
or the vile thing
i call brilliant animal

TIP-TOE

tender
FEELING
squeeze box
love
TRAGIC meaning
glisten
hush lips now
watch
LIFE move
tip-toe
tulips
what life
BEGIN-ends
end-begins

THE TRUE TEST

THE test of life —
not one of salvation
but that nature
allow us to remain
upon her paradise

A HUNDRED POEMS – V

BONE pure and strong
winds feed my wings
a heart tender-string
bleach dreams swim
My life —
it is my own?
then my butler
— death
and dirt so lovingly friend
bury, or wind carry me
to my imaginal realm
between my dreams and stars

THE GRAND SECRET

MY confession to mortals
that I do love death
it has a tender touch
to never hurt beyond
that fire of separation
It only asks a piece
of life’s fire to move
beyond your soul today
That grand secret spilled
we all die day-to-day
and born between moments

A HUNDRED POEMS IV

What this life — explain
nothing dear lover
we give and thou take
a summer breeze and leaf

that oak tree does know
solid and unmoving
seasons tease its leaf
thou eye is steadfast

i walked that path
honey sickle taste
bitter heart nonsense
and lemon smiles sun

my bird sings song
and hast cage iron
what will break wrought

my vortex of life dwell
between and beyond all
phantom dreams us love
and love dance life’s ball

A HUNDRED POEMS III

and today I slay death
it was my way
knife  heart
blade and life

what light
reveal
strength or frail
truth for a man

and the council
those pompous twelve
non-human but eager
to learn

and
Earth is a grand
battlefield petal rose
red soil and bitter torn

in dream or fear dear
lackey heart weak near
the hand grab my heart
hero save what shadow

old man or bag lady
do not stare this way
for all had is given
move along tomorrow

today the gift is given
softly   we praise Him
who always gives more
those flowers in fields

A HUDNRED POEMS (ii)

II

What dreams sweet life soul
that Earth soil so wet-dew
that
touching

tears feeling
my council doubt this dream
but
release

thee
budding light this day
such philosophy stab
thy heart

love     now
skip treacle and grail
passion fuel thou vessel
tickle-being spur now

and
truth

in heart bleed red now
and breath push you
rhythmic
lover

thou gave me

the reason in moment

spring time lips
