I Hear Human Voices

2011-11-16T09:13:00.001-08:00

Read to me
sweet words written
a voice like opium

More, yes more
my veins pulse
on each spoken word

Here I dwell
between two worlds
spoken and poppy field dreams

Each word tattooed
within my heart
I feel no pain

Words of opium

Water So Deep

2011-11-16T09:12:00.001-08:00

Do not drown me
in tears of lost love
this water so deep

Breathe, just breathe
gasp for love lost
save me, save you

What of lost memories
those times, like air bubbles
slowly ascend to the surface

Down, down
in depths, no breath left
my lover, last thought "Goodbye"

Returning Here

2011-11-06T09:49:00.000-08:00

I stand within a memory
time I can not control
I would mark a spot

This point I lost
how many loves ago
mist comes to eyes

Sunrise greets
so many smiles undone
words fell silent

I still stand here
rekindling memories
endless, forever this spot

I Walked Along Your Shore

2011-11-04T11:58:00.001-07:00

In this time , this space
the clock, the heart
pause in silent echo

For once in a time
now far gone, dusty
veiled blacken out love

This was the end
absence lost, drifted
the thunder of lust

I once listened
deep within my ocean
sounds from a sea shell

In this time, this space
the clock, the heart
ticks in endless sorrow, echoed

Lesson Learned

2011-10-30T01:21:00.001-07:00

I guess I really never understood
when you said "Hold the string tight".
"I said I would"

I guess I really never understood
when you said "My heart is in your hands"
I said "I do"

I guess I really never understood
when you said "Let me go, Set me free"
I said "OK"

I guess I really never understood
your heart was like a balloon
that I let slip away.

2011-10-27T12:39:00.001-07:00

Acorn messages

within these tiny seeds, sprouts

thoughts and dreams

2011-10-27T12:36:00.001-07:00

A giant maple

falling leaves tumbling down

postcards sent to ground

2011-10-27T12:34:00.000-07:00

Broken promises

avalanches, mountain side

another heart breaks

Casting Love Spells

2010-09-16T12:39:00.000-07:00

Come dance with me
by candles light
twist and turn
by edge of night

Hold me close
have no fear
watch the dancing wick
I am always near

One more kiss
before night is done
as the Sun rises
know that your the one

Inside The Looking Glass

2010-09-02T19:15:00.000-07:00

There are two vast universes
the one you live in
the one that lives inside of you.

Both require exploration
courage and determination
and will take a lifetime of discovery.

Miles

2010-09-02T00:54:00.000-07:00

As I move from here to there and back again on this dusty dry road called life. Seldom do I look back at the past those yesterdays of memory. Well maybe a quick glance over my right shoulder staring into the sun and in one blinding moment I see the faces that keep me company. Turning back to look ahead I now think onl...y of my next step and the one after that. I stopped counting the "Good-byes" long ago....

Long Nights

2010-08-25T00:52:00.001-07:00

Long are the nights
without you next to me
to share my love touch with you

House Of The Moon

2010-08-25T00:50:00.001-07:00

In the House of the Moon
I dwell with my dreams
find comfort with the stars

Night Covers

2010-08-25T00:49:00.001-07:00

Night covers me
with a blanket of stars
gives warmth from
a cold moon rising

Your Image

2010-08-25T00:46:00.000-07:00

Night dreams
you no longer appear
your image fades
so quickly
sadness, the emotion
came and went
like a thief
of the night
without notice
or regard.

Stars

2010-08-25T00:45:00.001-07:00

Gazing up at the stars
you know all our secrets
brightly you shine
never saying a word.

Rain Without You

2010-08-25T00:44:00.001-07:00

Gentle night rain
falls outside my window
inside me the rain falls
I am missing you
I feel rain drops
on my cheeks
or are they just more tears
have I told you, that nights
are the hardest part
without you near
without your voice
to hear

Damn more rain drops on my cheeks

Dreams

2010-08-25T00:42:00.001-07:00

At night's fall
drift into me
drift out of me
dreams that take
dreams my
mind does make
fragmented
split, then whole
images, no words
too many voices
to be heard

drift into me
drift away from me
soon there will be light
that puts away night

drift into me

Night's Mind Drifts

2010-08-25T00:41:00.001-07:00

In nights air
cold , wet
my mind drifts
like a long breath
escaping into the dark
my thoughts of you
intensify under the Moon's
ever watchful eye
this is not a dream
I am wide awake
or am I........

Love's Thief

2010-08-25T00:39:00.001-07:00

Love's thief
comes in the night
masked by darkness
to steal lover's lustful kiss

I Am Of The Night

2010-08-25T00:37:00.001-07:00

I am of the night
feel the city's heartbeat
sounds of the night-scape
no shadow next to me
I walk alone
in silent footsteps
down empty streets
I am of the night

The Night Whispers...

2010-08-25T00:35:00.000-07:00

The night
whispers
your name
your image
I call out
my voice
echoes
through
canyons
of my mind
return
be next
to me
not just
in night dreams
now I
whisper
your name....

In Another Place and Time

2010-08-24T23:42:00.000-07:00

We both share the same sun, but now our shadows no longer stand together hand in hand. Love does not shine in our eyes, yet the smles are not empty. I turn to the right and you the left. If it is to be destiny them we will meet again in this endless ethernal circle called life. Until then have a peaceful journey and with each step find the calm within your heart....

Senryu #1

2010-07-14T23:57:00.000-07:00

Endless the days, nights
searching for love without lies
how dry the desert

Near Not Far Away

2010-07-05T00:10:00.000-07:00

I have been making circles
connecting your thoughts
I listen to your inner voices
and at times shed a tear or two

Still you worry about
all the little things, choices unsettled
do not let the light dim
or I may not be able to return

Know that when you close
your eyes and call my name
I will appear just as before
this is not magic or done with mirrors

Feel calm as my voice touches
your soul, steady the beating heart
hear the flap of wings or not
arms wrapped around like sacred armor

I am here for you, just outside the sun....

Broken Promises

2010-06-15T22:52:00.000-07:00

In the valley of lost promises
resides the confusion of heart
here loving words
spoken from lovers lips.

Bittersweet the words
from tangles tongues
from deep kisses
lost in moments of lust.

You promised, you sworn
you lied, for passions touch
in heat, begging, more, more
in movement of arms and legs

Deep desires, they rule here
the moon, the stars, they are yours
a thousands times and more
holding, touching, kissing

The promises flow, like running water
I want you, I need you, my hunger
yes, I would promise all and more
to have you, deep, deeper

Promises broken, love now shattered.

2010-06-10T10:14:00.000-07:00

Take my hand on this tightrope called life. Hold firm for now our fate rests in our strong belief and love for each other. If one falls we both fall for this is now our shared destiny. Look into my eyes and know I will not let go.....

Do You Think Of Me When It Rains In Your World?

2010-05-23T23:46:00.000-07:00

My love I have returned
be still, do not move
for I am only here in moments
soon the sun will raise in your eyes.

Longing in my desire, my words
at times my tongue seems empty of task
yet in my heart are volumes, messages
make not judgements for this is real love.

Once, I was your first thought
my name now never to be reclaimed
lost before the sun, cast out of night
do you smell the rain?, remember me

I stand here in your dream, waiting, wondering
will you cross the hearts bridge, meet me
feel passions winds, or am I alone here
what of signs, of life, love, intentions

I will return, hope still lives, tears in motion
still the question remains "Do You Love Me More?"
for I am a wandering soul, a nomad
captain of the sands of time, I wait, I wait, I wait.

When I Do Not Sleep, Do You Wonder?

2010-05-19T00:11:00.000-07:00

It is midnight in the city
sounds are turned down low
streetlights bright above me
without words I wonder out loud.

It is at this time my heart wanders
many are now sleeping, dreaming
would you have me stand guard
for it is at this time they come.

It is those dreams from sacred sleep
well for those of you that do
all those little bits, come together
memories faded are the times of day.

It is quiet here except
for the sounds of sleeping
I wish and wonder about you
do you dream of me or another.

I Walk Alone With You On My Mind

2010-05-11T23:25:00.000-07:00

Where should I begin
as the sun rises
or under cover of darkness
would it matter
are not the results the same
or are they.

For me this is no easy task
not that it is full of lies
but more the truth at hand
should I whisper
will I shout, perhaps not
to understand, my message.

We spend many hours
together, but alone
both in our corners of home
our parts of the world
we shared, we laughed, we cried
yet neither of us spoke a word

You have never heard my voice
I have yours, but in passing
or was it just the laughing I remember
face to face, well not in the same space
at what point, did love, passion enter
it came rushing in like a wild wind.

My heart resides behind many a wall
yours guarded, like a mighty fortress
yet all came crashing down
no warning just a few words spoken
smiles, gestures of kindness
all because of random "I Love You's"

Yet it is not our time
in fact I am my steps ahead
in both time and space
I have walked this place so many times before
what I see in you is the bright new sun
who could not be in love with you.

I will always remember you, want you
but my journey is without you at my side
seek comfort in the fact
that each day I think of you, say your name
be happy, for I watch from a far
we will never share a ring, just some time.

False Heartbeat

2010-05-10T00:06:00.000-07:00

Wipe the tears from your eyes
for this the game is over
unmasked your soul reveals
as seen from the corner of eye

You are not of fearless heart
your words bleed before the sun
do not count the shadows
exposed in bright light, lies

Intent or intension, her fate
in the words of love, trust
you are accused, guilty, caught
weaver of lies, twisted truth

Not under your thumb, lips griped
witnessed, observed, blinded
in the ways of love, corruption
you are not the game's master

I have always know, your intention
even with blinded eyes of love
how clearly I did see your web
yes spin faster, faster, faster

Speak not of love or reflection
for I leave you, now and forever
dream not of the alter or future days
for you are no match for my love, my prayers

I Taste The Air Around You

2010-05-07T12:59:00.000-07:00

Words mixed like oil and water
yet there are sounds of life
like the flower
searching for the sun, love,life

Emotions flooded by frustrations
round they go up, down, up, down
I know its you lost in translation
do I sleep?, do I dream?, questions

Breathe, yes Breathe
raise your eyes, horzion
like the ticking clock
one by one, move, dance, speak

You are not without love
look near, look far, yes there
half a world away
seek your love, fate, smile

Do not let the ghosts return
for the past
should remain there, not here
you are in my thoughts, my prayers

One Last Request

2010-04-06T15:32:00.000-07:00

Would you cry
me a single tear?

I would ask no more

Yes, I am near
feel the shadows touch
under the suns breath

You look with gated eyes
you doubt my love
words drown in pools so deep

Twist my desires
halt my advancing love
skin once soft, turns armor

Over and over
my words of love, trust
crash to earth, to dust

I step back
not once, but twice
I am without words

Would you cry
me a single tear?

I would ask no more...

2010-01-12T11:25:00.000-08:00

Secrets of your heart

no illusions, only breath

sleeping, do you dream?

The Return Or Just Another Journey

2010-01-05T23:35:00.000-08:00

Yes, I do remember this place
how the moonlight glows here
wait has it been that long?
I blame the rabbit hole
I stood to near the edge
and fell and fell

My notebooks, my pens
I stir the dust of ages
how faded these pages be
yet I know those words
I spoke them once
and I fell and fell

"Hello" echoes
but no answer
stacked are my thoughts
how neat I left them
row after row after row
and I fell and fell

Now I have returned
the gates are open
the bridge lowered
I sit here in my favorite chair
I have tales and stories
not yet told or written

but where will I start?
at the beginning or after

I fell and fell......

In The Sands Of Destiny

2009-11-23T23:07:00.000-08:00

I am lost within my skin
is this not Marrakesh?
music sways my thoughts
the desert calls my name
ancient are the drums that beat

I am lost among the dunes
an ocean of sand, endless
my mind wanders to unseen places
show me your true self, hidden
I have waited and wanted, you

I am without, fragile, missing
seek not my wisdom, behold
for my pockets are empty, my soul
whisper my name, take care
how cold that ghostly flow

I am not the Keeper
journey to the temple of time
all are memories, lasted, faded
my robes frayed, self
my sandals worn, life

I am here again, endless the path

I Remember A Time

2009-10-14T00:58:00.001-07:00

You do not know my face
yet you know my voice
soon we will meet
or have we already

Gentle the sound
of first kiss, remember
no, let me kiss again, now
will this seal our fate, wondering

Your hair, flowing silk
sweet the smell, passionate
holding close inhale love's scent
brushing back from your face, soft

Fingers roaming, exploring
how soft, smooth the bounty
tracing your form
writing messages with finger tips

Outside the rain falls
the sounds of the city, life
here tender moments, slow the motions
as love's inner voice is heard

You do not know my face, yet I know your inner voice

Dancing Shadows By The Lighthouse

2009-10-10T00:08:00.000-07:00

Warm this summer night
even as the sun sets in bright orange
melting into the sea of dreams

meet me by the lighthouse
watched by Luna rising
say "Goodnight" to the sun

Turn and listen
I call your name
casting whispers upon the sea winds

Luna, now takes her place
look up at smiling stars
yes I am here

The sand is still warm, on bare feet
warmer is my heart, that awaits
take my hand

How beautiful you are in Luna's light
have you cast a spell on me, I think not
for my heart is willing, my soul on fire

Come dance with me, until the return of day
hold close, so that I may feel your heart's passion
for there maybe no tomorrow, so dance the night away

Warm this summer night, as we melt into a sea of dreams

Our Continuing

2009-10-02T14:05:00.000-07:00

In the time of times
the day of days
we circle together
yet separate in touch

is the universe not cruel
bringing us back and forth
cycle by cycle
knowing of each other

why do the cosmic winds
cover our attempts
I must call your name
prevented from your touch

then in passing glance
we touch, live
but in the back of minds
know that there will be no lasting us

for this is our karma
of which we can not escape
eons have passed
but memory does not fade, mistakes

feel the wind on your back
endless the time apart, now continues
my throat dry with "Good Bye", do not cry
but our love like in ancient times, survives

Feel the wind on your back
know that I am near and yet so far away

In The Space Between Light and Fear

2009-09-24T02:32:00.000-07:00

Close your eyes
do you call this dark or lonely
it is not a simple answer
nor was it a easy question

Do you assume, now or later
if I write from my heart
that these words are about you
for the universe is full of "you and me"

Yet in my words, my music
your soul may dance, fly
to the edge of the sun
or crash, burn on terra fir ma

Can you still hear my voice
yes I do speak your tongue, name
see the world did not just end, really
I still read your words, written in hidden places

Close your eyes
do you call this dark or lonely.....

With You Until The End Of Time

2009-09-18T01:03:00.000-07:00

Invisible hands lifting sea birds
floating carefree
above crashing waves, the shore

gentle, calm
yet fury, rages at times

Sand storms, unsettled desert touch
zephyros of origin, my path
hot the touch on human skin

gentle, calm
yet fury, rages at times

From ancient times
filling the sails
still present, a chill of air

gentle, calm
yet fury, rages at times

Each day I come to visit
bring life, to a motionless willow
how far can you, bend, pushing

gentle, calm
yet fury, rages at times

I will always be there
hear the sounds, of metal
feel me on your skin

For I am the wind

a Passer-By........

Ocean of Dreams

2009-09-10T00:47:00.000-07:00

Take the wheel, steer the course
a good wind today, set the sails
leave that comfort of harbor
with compass and sexton

Destiny changes in degrees
tun the wheel, turn the wheel
the sea now calm, like life at times
yet how deep the waters of truth or trust

Feel the wind, that sea air
taste the salty spray
like the taste of real tears
that form your private ocean

Would you follow me
to the edge of the world
how deep is your love, desire
will I be the one, your captain

Will you be my water, my life
do you long to swim in my ocean
will love save us
at times the sea is unforgiving, like love, life

Hold tight, the wheel
destiny changes in degrees
turn the wheel, turn the wheel
steer the course, beware the rocks, the sirens

There is a good wind today
will I be your captain?

In Dreams

2009-08-29T14:42:00.000-07:00

Close your eyes
for I have traveled far
endless the universe
in your mind.

Can you hear me?, feel me?
in your dreams you call, I answer
yet there is an echoing of thought
and in that moment, I live again.

How many teardrops must fall
to fill the oceans in your soul
gentle the kisses I bring
to redden lover's eyes.

In this space, this time
a return, a desire, a promise
written long ago
sealed by lips of eternal beauty.

For I have always loved you
embracing the journey within
the meeting of our minds on
the edge of forever."

For The Disappeared

2009-08-29T14:39:00.001-07:00

Take our hands
hold them tight
be not afraid
the sounds of wings

We are here, there
escorts to the gate
all events are seen
written, witnessed

Do not fear
you are not forsaken
evil dwells, in so many places
we will arrive like quiet thunder

The rain is our tears
gentle it falls, puddles of sorrow
we hear your cry, your pain
in your heart know we are coming

Hear the sound of wings

I Still Wonder Under A Star Filled Sky

2009-04-27T11:03:00.000-07:00

Do you remember me?
I am the never ending
echo
deep within your core.

Do you remember me?
I am that careless whisper
my breath
warm on your cool skin.

Do you remember me?
I am bright as the Sun
blinding glow
a spark of life, touching you.

Do you remember me?
I am a storm bringer
maker of tears
silver lined clouds, your hopes.

Do you remember me?
I am the one you loved
the one who said "Good Bye"
removing the ring from my finger.

You Can Find Me Here

2009-04-27T11:01:00.000-07:00

Edge of the ocean

where my dreams begin again

touched by the blue sky

The Universe Within

2009-04-27T11:00:00.000-07:00

In a moment

the space between
clapping hands
the lighting of
a candle
from dark to light
a breath
in then out
opening of eyes
the seen, the unseen
parting of lips
air that forms
words of
love, hate
motion
the movement
of still life
a kind gesture

In a moment life
the story
from beginning
to end
and all
that is in between

the spaces

SimpleThings

2009-04-13T02:06:00.000-07:00

I love the sounds of life
but, enjoy the spaces
between each sound
even more.

I love the touch of granite
but, enjoy the sensation
of silken skin
even more.

I love the taste of chocolate
but, enjoy the sweetness
of a lover's lips
even more.

I love the memories of us
but, enjoy holding you close
even better.

I love the light of day
but, enjoy the moonlight
even more.

I Have Waited So Long For Your Return

2009-04-08T11:58:00.000-07:00

Sweet the smell
of life, of living
of loving, being loved.

Spring you bring
me memories
of old and new.

Does love not blossom
without the sun
watered by tears?

Your perfume
like fresh wild flowers
how fitting, my lover.

My gaze upon you
like that of the sunflower
memorized by the sun god.

Sweet the smell of Spring approaching..

How Fresh The New Sky

2009-03-29T09:26:00.001-07:00

Under the red orange sky
the place I call home
in the house of the sun.

Here I still dream of you
silken skin
the bluest of eyes.

How my mind
spins and swirls
picturing those memories.

Your voice still echoes
sweet the sound
of angel's wing.

Each time
the red orange sky returns
I hold you in my arms, my mind.

Visits In The Night

2009-03-22T12:15:00.000-07:00

In the fading rays of sunset
I wonder if you really do love
or are those words just
perfectly arranged.

So much was said
just passing thoughts
lingering in the air
pick one, please.

What happen to passion?
dancing tongues in the night
sweet pillow talk
was I just dreaming?

I am awake
you are not here
ghosts torment
but the question remains.

"Do you love?"

Pie In The Sky

2009-03-18T00:36:00.000-07:00

I can not build
castles in the sky
in the echoes of chaos.

If this is to be Utopia
why do the innocence
still cry.

At what cost
do I turn
a blind eye.

Do all roads
of intentions lead
to Babylon.

I sit and wonder....

You and Me

2009-03-17T23:51:00.001-07:00

How pale the sky that day
you said "I love you"
but the wind came
blowing your words
away.

Or am I mistaken
was it a bright shiny day
you said " I love you"
my memory fades
the day.

No, I remember
it was a starry night
you said " I love you"
or was it just wishful
thinking on a falling star.

I wish or maybe not
thoughts from a day
or days gone by
like scenes form
life's moments
come to pass
or never be.

Tonight I will
compose that music
not yet written in
my mind
of a day, a night
fragments of lost
love or just
the story of

"You and Me"

Just A Bit Country

2009-01-19T11:55:00.001-08:00

It was crowed
noise filled the air, the fill of glasses
lights dimmed
now I can hear that pin drop
sat back, smiled
your fingers, just play my chords
with each note, you draw me near
voice like Angel's tone
you told us stories
our attention to every detail, or tale
I have always been a rocker, but
tonight I became a bit country
if just for the biscuits and gravy, smiles
I would say "I love You", but
I have only been country
for a short time, well maybe just minutes
Well, I am more like a Bon Jovi cowboy
since I ride a steel horse
on the open highway
wind in my shoulder length hair....

Like, I said "I've only been country for a bit"

Paving The Future Roads Ahead

2009-01-19T11:35:00.000-08:00

The masks are stacked
in many rows along
the ancient gallery

Pick one
who will you be today?

Friend, Foe

Flesh, Ghost

Good, Evil

Pick one
who will you be today?

Soon your intentions
will be known
time is not on your side
please do not
trip and fall
from your blind
loyalty to another
who hides from the sun
Is your soul for sale?

Pick one
who will you be today?

Remember I hear the whisperings of the wind........

2009-01-12T11:31:00.000-08:00

I have climbed
these steps
so many times

wake from
my dream
finding you
next to me
tears form
in my eyes
knowing
I really
need to
search
no further......

A Flower To Show My Love

2009-01-12T11:21:00.000-08:00

Loneliness
tears begin
two hearts that
are not one
Yes, "I miss you also"
so close your eyes
remember that
summer day
I asked you
to dance
think back,
that memory

come close, closer

wrap arms
around me
music plays
once again
now smile, kiss me
like you did that day
let the music
sway your thoughts
passion boiling

come close, now closer

my lover
hear me
soon you
will awake
I will be gone
but I leave
this flower
next to you
to prove my
love is real
for I am
Love's Thief
until another
night...................

Always Connected To You

2009-01-12T11:19:00.000-08:00

You may erase me
no longer speak
my name
yet I will always
be inside you
at your deepest core
I live in memory
without warning
I appear in thought
watch you sleep
in dreams
connect at
consciousness
I still feel
your desires
you may deny
but,
my voice
your heart
will always
hear.....

Echoes From My Heart

2009-01-12T11:17:00.000-08:00

In this memory box
I call my heart
where I keep
my deepest
dreams, desires
written in both
Shakespearean
love sonnet
and that of a
Greek tragedy
the layers
the depth
of a life
unfolding
before your eyes
yet a story unfinished
many the entries
I will write today. tomorrow

Composing Muse

2009-01-12T11:08:00.000-08:00

What I once expressed in words
now comes forth
by fingertips on these ivory keys
the emotions are there
the flow is now different
like a river that changes course
my passion flows stronger
as if my dreams
and desires
pump new blood into my being..

How Human The Stars Can Be

2009-01-12T11:05:00.000-08:00

Each night, I look to the stars
quietly sitting gazing into
the vast darkness of space
for that familiar sign post
marked by the stars.

In whisper, I say
"Hello, I'm back"
waiting
no answer in return

"HELLO"
still no reply
thinking to myself
but, saying it out loud

"Even the stars tonight, treat me like an ex-lover"

Brings grin to my face........

Let Me Play For You

2009-01-12T11:03:00.000-08:00

Sat down at the piano
placing my fingers on the keys
how at home I feel here
fingers begin to move
sounds of notes follow
where is this music
taking me?

The music
writing itself
is that my heart strings
playing in the background?

Sweet the sound
of music, coming
from my finger tips
haunting, the sound
of my soul, bringing
forth, a voice, a vocal
to the music being
played....

"Not to worry, my love
Angel's wings flutter
about you"

"With each kiss
the heart wants more
the soul is filled with desire"

"This is the mystery of love"
"This is the mystery of love"

I have to stop, I can not
see the keys
the tears falling
like Heaven's rain
in my heart

This rain
touches my fingers
they stop playing
the music stops
but, the rain continues

"This is the mystery of love"

So Many Years In Motion, A Love Story

2009-01-12T10:53:00.000-08:00

It was a great night
two strangers dancing
in the sheets of desire
now I am boarding
that bus, that takes me
in many directions all
at the same time
I still smell your perfume
or is it already a memory
so much time in motion
to be still, would make
me feel out of place
drifting in time

"Yes Sir" , "No Sir"

On the move again
my only companions
a duffel bag, pack of gum
and a worn out
paperback.

Every now and then
I think back to that
Tulsa night
her soft skin
that perfume
that dance
of desire

"Yes Sir", "No Sir"

No time for memories
today
another bus to catch
another sunset lost
another dust filled road

I"m on my way.....

I Still Carry Your Memory

2009-01-12T10:50:00.000-08:00

Pulled out that letter
you know the one
torn, taped, ink faded
just the way it is
this old message
of love

held it in my hands
yes, they still shake
a bit, as I unfold
words written, not forgotten
memories swirl back
to a better time, place

Slowly and carefully
I read the thoughts
of yesterday's dreams
how deep the crease
of time, in these
folded pages

It's been so long
I can not see your
face in my mind
but, I still hear
your voice
deep in my soul

"Do you still
remember me?"

Years gone by
I should have called
I never did
I never did
some many sunsets
lost, sunrises missed
just to have one more kiss

Now the number
at the bottom
is old and faded
like my favorite jeans

I reach into my pocket
for change, to use the phone
but the number
is long ago, a faded memory

"Do you still remember me?"

I should have called...........

Mending A Heart, The Karma Effect

2009-01-12T10:42:00.000-08:00

I see your messages
written in these pages
these cryptic sign posts
a few words here and there
a gentle whisper in the wind
a note dropped by winter's rain
symbols sent in dreams
what do you hope for?

karma for your pain
forgiveness for lies
turning of cheek
tears of salt returned

we are mirrors
I am yours
you are mine
cast your darkness
see my light
I have judged
you will be judged
what do you hope for?

karma for your pain
forgiveness for lies
turning of cheek
tears of salt returned

your name is not
spoken in my heart
my name is not spoken
from your lips
destiny of the two
is not of the one

your name is written
in scars on my heart
your lips may speak
but I am deaf to you

What do you hope for?

Oracle's Warning Of Future Event

2009-01-12T10:40:00.000-08:00

Words of hate
dishonor
mistrust
like a spider
setting a web
who will be
your next victim
you are a bad rain
a ill faded rose
wearer of an
ancient mask
conjure of the
false smile
betrayer of
words
stone hearted

be gone
be gone
be gone
chants the covenant
times three

Look down from your walls
of gated city
the earth crumbles
below you
you will fall
in endless motion
remember Icarus
to burn at the stake
would be to good
for you

burn
burn
burn
cleanse with fire
chants the covenant
times three

Leave now before the
box of secrets is spilled
open....a just reminder

340 Miles To Go

2009-01-12T10:36:00.000-08:00

Long winding roads
the California coast
my journey to you
bright the summer day
smile for me sweetheart
your picture in my mind
cruising down highway one

miles, go by
so many more to go
just to hear you
call me "Baby"

song after song
the radio plays on
play me some Zeppelin
that's what I want to hear
bring me back
the day we met
raven black your hair
how blue your eyes
my heart was lost
to your smile

miles, go by
so many more to go
just to hear you
call me "Baby"

In Dreams I Wake

2009-01-12T10:33:00.000-08:00

In dreams
at the outer rim
my mind
I seek inner truth
in the hall of memories
here my consciousness
drifts in, then out
reality mixed, re-mixed
birth, re-birth
ideas, form, formless
the id, the ego
check
checkmate
here in this place
I write, read
words hidden
from the sun

I return each night
sit in the great hall
my mind

listening to silent echoes.........

2009-01-12T09:53:00.000-08:00

Simple moments of beauty through my senses

to touch, to be touched
to hear, to be heard
to see, to be seen
to speak, to be spoken too

I find beauty here

fingertips that touch soft loving lips
sounds of "Om"
watching nature's interactions
the way you say my name with loving tone

These are my simple moments of beauty..........

Please share yours, for my heart is open

Hope From The Heavens

Clan Of The True Heart

2009-01-12T09:50:00.000-08:00

Behold my heart
a place of inner
sanctuary
vessel of fragile
dreams
source of the
passion in my blood
pumping like an
untamed wild river

Some have tried
to
break it
trample it
betray it
scar it

Yet my heart
does
continue to love
beat strong
beat true
even forgive
but does not forget

From time to time
I must rekindle
my heart's fire
the flames
renew desire
hopes and dreams

No matter what may happen
my heart is open to you.....

Cloud Rider

2009-01-12T09:43:00.000-08:00

Fly high
but, do not touch the sun
soar between worlds
my spirit chaser
my spirit guide

Fly high
where the wind
carries sacred messages
you have second sight
my future
my past

Fly high
honor earth
honor life
my hopes
my desires

When you, touch land
come, Ghost Dance
with me
hear the beating of the drums

For we are the lost tribe, everyone is looking for.........

Eyes Not Blinded

2009-01-12T09:41:00.000-08:00

Even with eyes closed
I can still
see right through you
your hope for a turning
a blind eye
to blind with your
star dust, fails
so you know
or did you forget
my second sight
I see your souls trail
like a shooting star
across the cosmos
we are connected
and blindness fails
now do you see
your doomed epiphany?

I am not blind to your intentions.........I keep watch
