THE BRIDE

WITHIN a room
of glass and flower
I handed the bride
to the groom
A howling wind
within my fields
that single point
an eternal blade
through mortality
divided my soul
one youth —
the other old

SUMMERS ARE PURPLE

AND which feather has tickled you
the one of sorrow for perceived lost
or that one which bring joy and tear
I confess that both have touched
that grand heart within that cage
— hush now, feather-heart
there be always summers each year
and many sunrises-surprises-smiles

RICHES

AND if I lost
all bought
that remain
all of you
then treasure
still intact
my riches
still remain

LIFE-OCEAN

We parted beneath ancient oak
horizontal place in frozen time
the hand I held I begrudgingly gave
ignoring pain and the cry of angels
a Holy fracture within tar pit soul
that feature falling frames of time
Immortal circle we dance ignoring
what futures we hold — perchance
Sweetness and bitter moments
no tongue could clearly explain
nor words convey in human language
such ceremonial moves that life-ocean

FAIRIES SAY

I drew a wet line
across your leaf-vein
humidity my disdain
and fairies say
golden hearts bleed
a tasty flavor brew
but if i ever sing
in melancholy tone
the heavens know
a sadness yet untold…

If I ever forgave you
let me remember babe
cause the heavy rains
keep pushing me down

SEASONS LIVE

AND when your heart
was an open book
you gave yourself
and love — the season
you never knew fear
and ever changing
shades of life
was your rainbow

But rain comes down
and flowers drink
the tears of broken
hearts —
live and let die
I say live and let die

The jester motions you
upon heels you sway
but the job you have
you got to do well

Seasons burn kisses
and horizons blend well
but that heart of yours
will live and let die

live and let die
live and let die

WHAT THE HEART NEEDS

I walk around and down the walk
just another day minding business
and I can hear the people saying
nothing matters but what’s in heart
such a thing needed is more song
about love and life and smiles too
And what does the man say…
listen to what they all sing
It’s what the heart needs
and it needs…LA LA LA TA DA LA LA
and the flowers twirl float soda
and sherbet paints Mona Lisa
and she is singing LA LA LA TA DA LA LA
it’s what the heart needs yes it does

A CASUAL STROLL

I marched in place
of Father Time
This did I
for me and you
That he would run
is not like me
A casual stroll for all
toward Eternity

THE FROSTED PANE

One’s life,
a covered pane
with fingerprints,
that remain —
a last breath
the final frosting

WORLDS

Worlds —
these which I know
beneath the feet
of giants
crumble crumb pieces
scatter shard glass-see
We know not what-be
but the end all know-we
