To live alone in fantasy
creating reality as you dream,
the beautiful pageantry of untruth, truth.

Bring along a friend or two
you can name them
tell them what to do
they look and smell like violets.

So sweet the world created here
perfect arms, perfect hair-
perfect madness, the only way
I suspect.

Until the bees stop making honey
a bird will always fly by.
A Cardinal, Mockingbird, Barn Swallow,
Dove

A pair that sit atop an electric wire
diving through air at their command
with a twig, always flying and
coming back until,
Boom.

What happens when the mate is
dead-the coo of the sweet
gray feather-thread,
he sits atop and watches.

Black beady little eye
watching the world go round and bye
watching a scheduled train
Blow.

And what of silence
messing with God's realm
discovers it has control,
will ethics keep us safe

harbor us within it's grace
steer a plane, a boat, a mind-
doing with life what it finds
amusing.

oh computer, robot, friend
or foe, keeping distance-
put on a show, oh

The clouds move by in the wind
and rain, does the jet stream have
a name-other than reality, hence forth.

Imagination of possibility
everything yet not
anything in Quantum Space
A Dream.

The Big Bang 3. 24.11

Head explodes
Feet gone
No longer able for tea.
I melt into the cement floor
The bomb gone off
Inside of me.

Coming through windows
Knocking down secret doors
Controlled explosion
While lying down
Love confusion
Blinded-now.

Wave Shy

Mavericks 3-10-11

Blue Wave
Perfect
Blue ocean wave
Rolling past
Repeatedly

Will I swim for the big wave?
I swim,skilled
Stupid, Naive
Risk

I wonder how long the pros wait
Hoping to catch the big wave
How far out will they swim?
Alone
Maybe I hold the new record.

Do they always return-Uninvited to the sea
Or does the sea call them?
Do they ever catch the big wave
I doubt it

So who surfs
Anyone
Bueller?
The ocean knows it's force
Mystery soul

Deep Waves words
flowing as the current shifts
In tune
Earth's jukebox

Controlled from the dark
Cold
Ocean floor
Rocks and
Moon, Overpowering gravity and force

I ride the wave and crash
My face slammed into the sand
I break my back on the reef
I churn in the surge


Under I go, washing up on shore
Defeated but not drowning-Alive
Reverence
powerful
wave
and sea.

Red Feather 2.15.11

He calls me
Serenades me as I walk by
Yes? Beautiful boyfriend
What is your need?

My eyes desert me
A fool who stops to search
I cannot see you
Bark and green are cruel

Your song is gone
I carry on
Grateful
You caught my attention

A Visit with the Holy Spirit 2. 20. 11

I sit on the road a blind beggar
Surrounded
only one stopping to listen

No one listens
No one cares
Wait, I plead
Tasks go as someone else sees

Books sold
Records sold
Windows bashed to spite me
Selfish
User of me
I prop up a statue
I win only through he?

The truth hides like a scared little girl
I push it back
Afraid
A desert where I can see fear coming
Like a rain cloud

If only I the beggar could call out
If only he was here to answer me
Wait, not only one listens, but two
Or is two-you?

I start to shed my cloak of the past
My self doubt
Opinions of others

Insight, like drops of dew
Divine intervention
I listen
Believing and having faith

I always sit in the road
Hand extended
Waiting for someone to give me sight

The sidelines of my life
Lack of trust
In myself
In others

A stone heart
Created by things
no one understands
A pecan on the ground
Covered in green
Ready to open
To grow a tree
Or feed

Watering the seeds of my own soul
Preparing to plant them around
An exodus
Wilderness journey
The unknown

Allow me God to trust
Believe in myself
Throwing the cloak
Invitation
A new road

"I would not take you, where I'm
Unwilling to go."
In the end all that matters is that we loved well.

Golden Ticket

I'll write until my fingers bleed
Mind lost
full of greed
Conflict
Show don't tell
I know the words
I know them well
I'll paint a picture
family will see
They will cry
They will bleed
Dialogue
Something for actors to do
Story told
Response
Validation
Moving on
Dreaming big
My white swan
Take me
I'll give my soul
Only for once
I find control
My dream
My life
Lived for others until now
I'll write until my fingers bleed.
