Climb!

climb climb climb 

to a plateau 

a mesa

a stage -

ten thousand million nanometers high

above - alone 

step to the edge - gracefully 

look down  

perspectives 

faces in the corner of your eye - strangers  

maybe a blood relative or two - that gene thing  

and dark matters

your up there, and remember you have vertigo  

the world tilts, and you have nothing to hold to

so you fall 

before judges , ready to judge  

you an exercise of rehearsal  

execution of an object in motion  

twistflipanothertwistasnap - fists to the water ! 

the splash 

transition -

under you go 

eyes slowly open 

you touch the bottom  

and pause 

to watch the bubbles  

atmosphere fighting for the only way it knows back to the surface 

and you think of

zwicky lenses,  and how perhaps a supernova  just went critical somewhere 

and consider trying to breathe underwater

in the grace of a nereid's kiss 

the light - refracts  - it's a time thing    

as the need for air builds , yet you still wait 

and  the crowd wonders,  perhaps a few holding their breath too 

and soon like those silver bubbles 

find yourself again,  at the surface 

to one more breath   

one more climb 

one more dive  ~

Black Roads

Roads

backroads 

driven by the unfamiliar  

empathy to ghost towns and sleeping giants 

cracked black top , broken lines and frayed edges

dangerous curves and sudden shudders 

three hours past midnight 

headlights stare into the boredom 

a river fights summer  

insomnia behind the wheel 

a favorite song - haunting

fades into static 

the destination blurs

the moving 

the waiting 

wrinkled maps and x's 

redline memories 

sleep 

the sun will rise 

behind us

Antares

royal star 

lunar mansion 

a wish streaks through the heart 

sacred revealings 

a shadow beckons 

silent eve 

brooding swan 

wings unfurl 

gentle palms

the soft trace  

of a lover's whisper 

upon a dreamer's eyes 

glowing  ~

cinematic 


flash 


the dreamers dream


blood as ink   


dust as paper


it's not the  instrument 


its not   the book 


still frame                  


float glass                                                      


the light through the cracks 


shadow a smile 


trace a tear 


the best love notes 


were left in the sand

of secret gardens and silent nights 

of art and the gentle embrace of dreams 

of dark eyes that stir the quiet

and the fire that warms the soul 



of poetry and the sound of waves 

the sunlight diving into the sea 

of gentle hands and splendid wings  

rising toward the mystic clouds 



of evanescence and velvet 

reflected in the blue charisma of water 

a circle beginning in the touch of a blossom 

of love and spring

Quietly

as I lay under the stars 

I whisper your name 

to watch them twinkle 


and as I let my thoughts drift 

I feel the grass 

cool and soft   

push me into the night  



into the milky way 

of dreams 

of prayers 

and revelations 

 
and quietly 


I listen

to the sound of,   


our heart beat 

the soul 

and love

Saviors

c'est l'ironie 


of daydreams and  long lines 

of promises and impatience 

of distant faces and shuffling feet 

of saints, and delicate patience  



of sinking ships and striking gold 

obscure maps and a scryptic star 

of secrets and survival 

of age and lost memories  


of luck and the scent of candles 

restless eyes and sleepless nights

of gloss winged ravens and writing desks 

unwritten pages awash in the rain 

of dreams 

and saviors

Waves

waves 

her blue swirls 

curl down my torso 

the dance of curious fingers 

dressed in black 

a starlit purr

candlelit gaze 

lips pause 

reflective silence

anahata whispers  

her sacred name  

the night trembles   

wind and flame  

water gleaming 

waves

Secret Songs

In the night sky 

I heard the sound of a teardrop 

as I held back my own 

listening to the gentleness of the moon 

                     
                       patience


and I remembered

the hearts that helped 

guide me to here

and then

I felt the rain 


pour through the stars 

where she waited 

still

her eyes 

a light in my dreams

as she weaved through the shadows 

of time

the raven hair goddess

of all that shined in the night

singing the songs 

that were secrets 

in my heart

dreamcatcher


midnight wind

of vedas and analects


blush rose kiss

labios oscuros


a fire dance

a Bull and a Scorpion

snowflakes and obsidian


amrita of the night

pouring through her eyes
