MYSTICISM

WHEREBY it may be declared
that mysticism is union
or absorption into that Diety
of knowledge barred
by the intellect…

I do contemplate
nay — surrender
that my character-soul
dreamy thunder-confusion
understands — and knows

The ultimate reality
is more than mere words
practised by unknowns
incomprehensible to minds
but deeply known

Feelings, intuition
beneath the bedsheets
of mistress-whole-mindness

THE CELEBRATED HEART

THE celebrated heart
love-hook from which
all passion hangs

stately in measure
beating metronome
of cosmic-lust

What more need a soul
than rhythmic lullaby
deep within one’s own

Beat for us lonely song
thrumping passion-sing
along these cold nights

My celebrated heart
dance with me – along
skip-light nights

My lullaby so sweetly
so neatly you comfort
keep beating in passion

LOVE-SWEET

LOVE-SWEET word beauty-laced
it sends me to another place
holding onto your tender wing
cloud-punch a hole into the blue

where are you taking us
— is it to that spot?
where lazy angels play
are we to sing with the harp?

Love-sweet word beauty-laced
giving me more than all I want
whispering honey dew unto my heart
kiss me ocean-sky lips so sweet

I see the place past the-beyond
over the rolling green hills
and through the gate into your arms

CHERISH THE LIVING TRUST

CHERISH
the living
trust
— of those
that touch
the heart
of your soul
and never spoil
— the spirit
but bask
within the lover
who kindles
and ignites
your soul

CHRONIC THINKING (SUCH CAUSE FOR DEATH)

SUCH cause for death and lost
heart attacks by dietary risk
and some data reflects a way
— driving while drinking kills

But what say the media —
and universities: don’t say
— and I believe with all my heart
is that too much thinking is a start

Chronic thinking it is —
the greatest disease of all
bounded by data and social media
it drains away our time…

and eventually kills us all
— the tide is set and waves have sailed
onto the shores of our lives
Tsunami event just years away

YOU’RE EVERYTHING I NEED

When I
sing into that night
alone and lonely
you’re there
but not in body
but my mind says so
and I reach out
and touch you
but you’re skin
betrays my touch

There’s frozen
eyes in my mind
nothing can
bring me down
not your pain
or mind —
and nothing
seems to kill me
no matter how hard
I try to taste
the love of you

Pain and delight
bring me — down

Love and pain
bring me —
your soul tonight

You’re everything
I need this night
you’re everything
I need in life —
nothing can break
me at all
I accept the fall

You’re everything
I need tonight
You’re everything
I need in life
I give you everything
I need
I give you everything
I own

Let’s give it the all
and let it be our fall
Nothing can break us
if we’re in the inside
love is all — be all


THE DREAMY WINTER SINGS

DREAMY winter singing winds
— I hear their chorus tonight
As laughing tendril-finger snows
click and dance in dipping ice-flows
upon my furnace-spice lips
What B-flat notes are tripping
running — stripping
across key-minor hearts…
Oh, so vying are your spasms
— my destined lust-bombs
exploding fire
— blue and green
reflection across the frozen
river of our hearts…

Comes the ice
and mixing fire
into the cauldron
of our lives

SING TO ME LULLABY

AND WHEN I’m within
your warm and gentle arms
sing me to sleep
hush my baby —
close your teary eyes

Don’t try to awake me
you say —
because I will be over there
in the land of bliss
and I love you — you care

I won’t disturb your paradise
but only need some advice
what will it take to awake
when you’re gone and I’m alone

Hush my baby dear —
have more than faith
and don’t you fear
love is as it was…
and shall be with your heart

Sing to me
lullaby
so I can live
and cherish
the heart God has given

Sing to me
Sing to me
Sing to me

Loving care
for our hearts
and damn the world

THE HUMAN LANGUAGE

THE HUMAN LANGUAGE is front-loaded
with the weaponry it requires
to destroy the bearer of any news

THE CHRISTMAS TREE FARM

A DEAD man once came to me
within my dream – was more than that
He I met while still alive
Christmas trees he sold to the living

Across a swath of Texas land
those trees peppered the ground
like missiles they pointed upward

The greatest smile and warm-jointed hand
A true soul with weathered spirit…

Many times he approached me in my sleep
always caring and doing for me such things
aside from that long story I have to say…

His message was a note for his daughter
Holy symbols he used in all he did
as the number 3 — dreams, divinity and me

So in the year of his death — which I not knew
I went to visit his Christmas Tree ranch
parked my car and walked toward the receiver

A lovely lady who stared at me — questions…
we felt the connection and I had to say
“I have a message for you from your daddy”

She burst into tears and fell into my arms
“How did you know, Sir! How did you know!”
The short story for you — I tell the reader

“He said he’s saved and dearly misses you.”
