ALL THE STARS ABOVE YOU

I am so always longing
is it for you? Do you
ever doubt it? I can make
you so sure about it
If I should ever say dying
is beyond believing then
what could living do to me?
I may not always show you
how my heart is like
all the stars above you
then I’ll make you sure
about it
If you should ever leave
life could be a world
where I dream about you
(dreaming; doing life,
dreaming; living pain)
And the universe conspires
believing you are meant
for me and God only knows
what I would do without
you (love is my only
mind i live — with
you). Show to me what you’d
do with me//if we loved.

AN ENORMOUS WINDOW MOURNING

( yOur so… )
FULL of passion and giggles
so now she’s sad
i frown for you
and when i’m with you
i don’t want to be
with you
an enormous window mourning
sunsets too
like the child within me
she’s within you
too alone in the dusk
with you// the wind plays
Rachmaninoff and your hair
ties a knot within my heart
good heart a desire to please
and my head in a deep freeze
and (if) you(r) face ; my skies,
tomorrows are deeply blue
with a burning sun within all
my soul and fatal eyes
it’s only like when
i’m with you
never want to be with you
could never leave you

TOO TIRED TO SAY OTHERWISE

Today’s a creme sherbet life
where dresses break sunlight
and we’re so lost and lonely
not the first time — won’t
be the last time and we close
our eyes
the pushing curtain of today
And when todays are nighttimes
we ride upon white ponies
we scream it’s not the first
time crushing the feeling of
our cries we close our eyes
the curtains pushing
today into night
so close your eyes
the curtains you love
pushing dreams into tomorrows
(hey, Jude remember me)
Close your eyes and these curtains
are life …close your eyes
for another life and we push
away until today comes
so close your eyes
the universe sings her lullaby

WE’RE ALL SHAMBHALA

Rode upon a cloud through rain
right through stress and life
she guided me like i’m tears
washed away all my fears
say, ‘are you ready to ride?’
i said, ‘SHAMBHALA”
like children
when the halls lit life
within our souls oh wee!
oh yeah oh we
(in the rain wash away my shame)
saw the light in your eyes
and SHAMBHALA oh we sing
‘yeah yeah yeah’
how does God love
tell me, how does life
balance pain? Oh hey
,yeah, hey yeah oh well
it’s how well you live life
and everyone is lucky and kind
Oh wee oh yeah SHAMBHALA
we’re all children in His eyes

LOVE’S SO COLD WE CRY

WHEN love’s cold we cry
women seem so wicked
when hearts are so strained
men seem so distant
when love is so ugly
when we’re alone
when life is down
fears come out
when you’re so weak
hearts are so alone
when lovers are so
unwanted it seems so
cold when we’re so
hungry for love
no one knows how
to live for love
Lovers roaming nights
like when you’re down
when love’s cold
we cry and we all are
so wicked when hearts
are so strained
hearts seem so distant
opened mouths say
‘when you’re strange’

QUIET NIGHTS COMFORTING FLOATING CLOUDS

IN quiet nights i see how
we kissed goodbyes and knew
how love is so wild like
memories that wain
upon trees and bluejays
but through the time
i kissed your tears
over and again
with eyes that know
how shadows ran
across the breeze
in brush-stroked love
So say hush my heart
let’s watch the yonder
where celestial wheels
roll across the blue
spirits crying.
we sketched our hearts
in the chill of seasons
and how i know now
all the words you said
and i did not listen
and you suffered insanity
but now i see how flaming
flowers blaze within you
and weather-faces blow
memory — and how i
love you now.
Quiet nights comforting
floating clouds.

C: REMEMBER ME LIKE A MELODY

You walk within my dreams
–> last night
a thought so near to me
and endeared to me.
but you couldn’t quite
discern me and you:
a stage like
a melody holding up
the world inside you
–a big secret wins
you over like a few
actors pacing from
shadow to shadow
too far apart. So i
stretch myself like
a shadow actor explaining
ticket tax and we live
in such bad product
: to meet my glory,
but my secret hovers
over my life to keep you
reaching like heaven; are
we dead citizenS or survivorS?
iT IS THE pulse of poetry.

A HUNDRED POEMS – XIX

IF I were
a broken soul
who could mend me,
the cobbler
down the road?
With his crafty skills
and many tools,
the awl or maybe
stretching tool?
He would surely know
— should I go?
My shoes, so worn
but my soul so full
of these empty holes.
My Cobbler, sir!
Repair my soul
,insufferably I plead!


RUN THE NIGHT ON BUSY WATERS

WE skip night All into a daze
hours and minutes, WATER uh!
and walk the plank of a ship
that breaks icebergs in Bering
pass the coke and Jim Beam
Hey!
I say hang around my sea parking
lot swelling undulating waves!
We run the boat — well, oh hell
yeah…!
Indian Summer nights
hugging my radio
we set sail for the horizon
made it through the cold
and it’s getting real and ya
say let’s head for the coast
Gotta say we got a fishing hole
and the girls of fantasy
feed us tonight
It’s all the summer nights
playing in my head well
got a job and gonna do it tonight
Bring home the smelly clothes
and bacon and another month
of living right now what i’m
talking about! Yeah a few
who run the night on busy waters
we never let go oh hell yah!
We run the night on busy waters
don’t you know? We don’t play
games with lives on the ropes

SAD STORY RIVER

SAD story river flows over the rock
of my buried heart
Give to me shadows
which dance and if i were me
we’d be so much better off
hear in dream by the rock in the river
i keep you within my breath and make
you happy until the
storm comes
we really rocked the world with love
And if the rain is hungry
it won’t stop until
happy hearts float
grave your life vests
dear cling onto me
and if you save yourself
you make him happy
sad story river flows
but lovely hearts survive
i’ll keep you within my
breath and make you happy
until the storm comes
we really rocked the world
with love
