HAVE regret for nothing by words
If south were North then Heaven would burn
Instead the heart should ponder the mouth
Lest words could cut the cords of souls

HAVE REGRET FOR NOTHING BY WORDS
DREAM OF PAST LIFE WITH YOU
IN MY sleep I saw your face
as though in my waking hours
when I saw your face
and knew it could not be
that this feeling was a dream
something imagined or unreal
You were riding upon Glory
a horse I called after a mother
whom had died centuries ago
and within my heart I saw you go
across the fields of wheat like gold
braided hair and rosy skin
An air of nobility across your face
and in the misty distance lay a castle
something strong and solid in stance
Across from which appeared a moat
and then you called, when you turned your head
a name called Chace…and I went
Trotting across the swaying fields
and below a flowing waterfall
Glory drank upon the dancing stream
as we gathered moss and petal for bed
there, in heaven’s domain we embraced
and bonded against a song from angel’s breath

DREAM OF LOVE
I dreamed of love within my dream
So quietly I did for fear
That the powers of darkness
Might steal my love
Within my dream you were there
My love you were there
No other beauty can compare
Together we shared this fear
And vowed to keep our hands
Entwined now and forever more
And now I am awake my love
And darkness is kept at bay
The warmth of your kiss still alive

COLD BLUE NILE
I DON’T pretend to know the true reasons…
for your painless and untimely passing
Perhaps it’s a choosing of your very own…
from birth to life and gold crested tomb
Your blood flows through the Nile
in blue scarf and flowing lace
a scarab traces your fingertips
I don’t intend to shift the drifting sands
that pulse within this great desert land
the bitterness of your love is sweet and dry
A baked nectar in sun-drenched skies
The desert rose has fallen ill
a pale rider grins and rings the bell
And crimson ozone burns and smells
As moisture beads glisten in hell
You were the Queen of Egypt in my land
untold lovers you slept with now lay in sand
But the gods of love and war now smile in peace
Since you’ve turned cold from a Blue Nile death
MIST OF LIES
MIST OF LIES
IN my eyes I decrie
fields of lost lust
in the mist of lies
I say yes –
You say no
I realize the issue
it depends upon the life
you have lived in this skin
but you must know – trust me now
those who you’ve trusted
surely want your saddness — how?
live a life unfulfilled is how
they will smirk and smile away
and take your sorrow to the bank
accounts full of red and sorrow
Wash away your sorrows
sing a praise to the sun
forgo the darkness it knows
dark and damp steal away
my prayer will show you the way
Wash away…
wash away your sins
and bring me the love I need…
Wash away…
wash away your sins
and sing to me your song of love..

DRIFTS OF MOTES
YOU took me — away
from all of this
madness today
just to say that…
You know me
and want much more
from my heart
just feed on the sores
I’m upside down now
inside and out of sound
follow the broken notes
killing time to save mind
I’m upside down now
without sound and rhythm
sing to me in drifts of motes
riffs twisting minor notes
::::
SECOND SPRING
IT was upon the burst of autumn
those explosions of colour
when your spirit and body
seeped into my empty soul
Autumn, the second spring for me now
my heart — a blooming flower
My soul before your grace embraced
a bare branch against the wind
N’ver believing this river again would flow
frozen before I met your lovely face
So delicious your autumn spring of spice
each bare leaf a swollen flower
I tremble in your presence as you sway
upon my rock this and every day

CONFESSION (I)
THIS confession brings me
immense tingling pleasure
when words collide upon my skin
releasing all my tension
the greatest lover is such prose
finding it I am much disposed
where are you the woman who kisses words
she devours the lore of my heart
insane…insanity clearly shadows my self
asking for the one alone in life
who trembles within a thimble of keys
upon a screen – a fire above my knees

THE LITTLE DEATH
IN our need to ration
preparedness for death
none prepares us more
than the little death
which we call orgasm
::::
DREAMING I AWOKE
LAST night I awoke
within my dream
nothing seemed wrong —
at least for me
I lived a full life
while visiting you see
and many years did past —
one day I fell to sleep
when I awoke again
I still remained
my wife of years
by my side hugging me
winter came so many
years henceforth
wrinkled and aching
my bones screamed
but my wife did not awake
so she remained
my last sleep
I clearly remember —
a dream so deep
that when I again awoke
I found myself alone
with youth and just a dream
