CONSUME ME

AND I would allow you
to consume what I am
that you are fed
the truth of life

WHAT BEAUTY

The horror of beauty
a risen sun for some
darkness for possessor
Lust-filled stares
an object of confession
such beauty betrays
the inner soul of most
Beauty alone knows
no division of soul

OH LEVIATHAN

Oh Leviathan of deep oceans my soul!
no eye sees what waters move you
and cold deep comfort that warm heart
seafarers banish harpoon made of slate
and human hearts frail of tissue-skin
what chases whom across vastness say
ghosts, dreams, shadows, malaise
go my dear beast, deep, far, and wide
lest hemocyanin colour that grand heart
the oceans cover that which is great

PASSION FOCUS

THERE is only victory
when passion drive
that love and life
commingle one
the bluejay sang
and dew what knew
but a blade of green
glistens clarity-life
the murmur soft
nature’s lullaby

LEATHER SATCHEL

THE fatigue of life
a limp leather satchel
worn, torn, cracked
and weather-born
within the creases
those letters and bits
fragments of hopes
and dreams dither-be
the sonofabitches
they almost got
the better of me!

HARBINGER DELIVER

Oh my Father did not you hear me!
that day I was born a harbinger
for the words I spoke were a cry
and emotions, high as love, joy,
fear, and pain visited that night
this day again, those friends of my
first-day arrive —
Oh, cry I do!
but more a machine-drive
for all my tears have dried
and so my love and joy
but fear and pain —
never relinquish their place

BEAT-O-ILL-ME

STOP  beat  breath
breath beat stop
carnival dance
illusions entrance

lover beat-kiss me
enrapture the wind
vocal tenor capture
life slide beside me

what more be wants me
melon slices quench
strawberry kiss lips
butterfly tender tickle

love god angel hug be
father take me-light
save dark-them see
we fight slay ill see

MY GENTLE GIANT

MY friend of stature walked by
always dream-walking he is
I was leaning out my window
two stories high when I saw him
the giant beast who slumbers
I whistled for him and he turned
and a single step before me was he
his face as wide as double windows
and eyes as large as boulders
but gentle brown fawns in composure
I told him my problems and he sighed
and tears fell down his massive cheeks
I caught a few within my room
and nearly drowned from his passion
go gently my dear gentle giant
I walk with you along the dream path
and may never wish to visit this world again

CLOVER LOVER

My clover sweet flora
so gently against my eyes
what dream today my green
beneath me a burning hell
above is only deep blue sky
I sing to me a mystery tune
ancient but doves live to fly
a piece of me if you choose
to take a peace of love with you

CONFIDENCE BE MY STEP

CONFIDENCE BE MY STEP

Stand in grace and steadfast resolve

a staircase descending below two feet

what wonders give each step you take

a dream taken that stride sure-fast

living now forgiving past indecision

that pocket full of fire touchstone

breathe easy for you may catch-fire

and trails of lust behind shadows

falling desires singing in choir

life loves confidence riding life
