memorized me; memorial we
It was June 21 when my chains claimed the floor The uniform now wrinkled with blood like before. I was handed a paper read DD-214 Then told that was my time, shown the door. My unit still stayed out for days and relentless nights. Bushwacked and Reagan'd, no reason to fight. We sold these guys the bullets now aimed just…

Shifting Moon
Shifting Moon Moon hold my light Lay us on the waves Blend my sleeping ocean With your passive sky Drench me colored hue Strum back black in blue Cast a shadow air For me to give in to Loves she framed not I Laid scattered on a bed Puzzled parts divided Wiled away our time I woke up whole and saw Who took arm in arm And…

F(r)eedom
Freedom is a misnomer, it seems to be only structured at best, Cages are bigger, and the air is bigger, but we’re just caged, like the rest The activities are far more covert, and the undercover is deeper than that. The smiles are so much bigger when the cage keepers hold the keys back. The names are crossed out but the…

A new color
Not weaving, no strands strung out in trails follow this one a while turn back follow that one a tad jump to the next tangled slightly mostly curved across or through looped paths in a wood would be turning in on circling past the same landmarks but from different angles and sides the light would be different now and the…

Cedar Chest
Sifting through the memories, Within grandma's old Lane cedar chest, I couldn't help wondering, Where all the years have gone. Water colored pictures, Crayon drawings of stick figure people. Handmade cards, Birthday,Mothers Day... The simplistic wishes, my children gave to me. Dating back some 25 years or more, I kept a…

Little Bird
A Little Bird It's been a low lonesome morning Play me somethin' soft Fly me little bird To the edge of the earth Reach a glory's light Where no one's throwin' bread Ease your wings Settle with the wind I know the journey's long Done put everything away Fly me little bird To the edge of the earth

My Brothers Keeper
Once upon a time this dusty old soul Never gave up And it never grew old I was my brother’s keeper. Though many days have come to pass I still remember the times we had And the mountains that we moved. No one day was like the last We told the world to kiss our ass And every battle was to the death. We stormed the beach at…

The Poet
The Poet He skirts reality And her full lips Wax and wanes on the senses Of his kind's trip So seductive the words Presented by wine All smooth and cool In delivery consigned Life forces imbuing Cliffs and clues A pathological searching For debts and dues These idols created To soothe the wounds Imagining how The other…

Take Now
Take Now All I will take now Know home Frame rain in walls Contain my mind Rise up From empty bed Strip bled Word mine open sky Dark question restlessness Lid these childish eyes That saw An aggregate free Paper wrap Bow present Tense give me away

Note to remind myself
See what it feels like to fully commit yourself to your choices on all types of days and nights Sometimes, it will mean exerting some self-control leaving opportunities untouched, words unspoken Sometimes it will mean being uncomfortable for a while Better to face a problem and solve it rather than turning towards…

Waking Up Ned
He woke up one morning on the ground of his barn with a pounding headache. He had had one before but this was a masterpiece. Something was different. Something was off. The old barn didn't smell anymore. As he stood up slowly, instantly the animals stood and hollered in protest. They didn't know him. "What was wrong with…

"Tonight"
Tonight I dine upon sorrow with the temptation of closure ever present. Tonight's endurance shall yield tomorrow's treasure, the wealth of growth and the fortuity of uncertainty. Tonight I give to you in solitude...In hiding. Tonight's delirious, mental hum, inebriated mind, voluminous thought... For you. Tomorrow I feast…

The Reach
An ocean of possibility within An ocean of my original sin i reach to your presence Hypnotized by your luminescence I reach eternally, With conviction Your pull, my addiction I reach The will of your gravity Is my command The shimmer of your light upon my surface...echoes below Into the darkness below..a beacon Magnetized…

Miracle City
Miracle City Diggers and naggers Broke dead swaggers Leave that town Get out! Get out! Worn them silky blues B'tween brimstone and sockets honed Like she did Bore me wed To cross and hollow souls Heaven holds a place I'll give up no disgrace A blank stage Done been sat upon Eggs

looking out
It was lucky that as I backed out of the garage I noticed the glistening puddle. The sparkle went straight to my heart and woke up my joy for living in this warm climate and for being outside in the morning. I opened the windows of the car to feel the day begin. At the right time of morning, there’s a white mist, a cool…

Stroking Shadows
Twenty and three years and leaving you, root bound trees we are; I am, too long untapped Stripped by your sunlight,naked…still streaked by my stroking shadows lingering lines, Trial run, making a move, fast track to discovery of the other Curiosity has me. What is there? What he and I create together may just be… One……
