Instant Thoughts (add yours too if you like)

wagoneers all know no bounds
leap off too
all in or out
to paths where honey bees drink
nectar of the odds and sods
well sown six feet under
pipes laid rip tides test the seams right
made ready to the task
gilding the lily in the prettiest pink you ever did see I say I saw a pearl
jam pulled out of my hat, drum style
any way you want the likings the better
of the two made three
fours the score fore....

As the crisp sun slowly rises,
The flowers soak the morning dew
The Swallows are laughing once again,
And the Mocking Birds are calling out,
To all those,They've passed along the way.
Soft are the breezes,Whispering through the leaves.
Kissing my face, Warming my heart.
What a glorious day.

The Swallows are laughing once again,
And the Mocking Birds are calling out,

nice
I love those guys

(having this - part I)

having torn again
bestest of times
urinal stains difficult
lots of bad
nasty

sharp in there feels
this
sleeping nearly unacceptable
a darkened out bed aches (this way)
hear a moaning crowd now
thousands go at once
but a few songbirds stay behind
early

traffic clogged up
a similar drain stopped
even as grand as they are tall wooden ships lean fast with nothing to drink
no fruit trees blown around winds
all but faded down to where things are smothered over

you would
a candle lit goes like this
it is knowing how
with a bull elephant's dance
the unknown ritual felt across wide open spaces
to be still without being asked
no hummingbirds
not whales
yes but we can

you will remember some
forgetful caterpillar tonight
no skymoon above this one
just discarded awareness for the time being
nothing truly lost
everything calm

but to be a mountain spirit
calling out all your returning cries
thousands of warriors side by side
where touching seashores blister pebbles, shells & sand as if molten moments had been birthed

but off in the distance
genius piano keys hit hard across our eyes
like flying butterflies lit up with dropping bombs
a hillside over looking it all blasted in solo symphony
sunlight intoxicated
a confused sky held tight together
until what was heard yielding around us
a spectacular climax in storm fashion

it snowed forever
cold was having daisies & peaches
the breakfast tablecloth elegant white lace finally found
& you could hear perfection this way as witness
even a crying swan sings

Shut up tightly as with a seal;
One is so near another
That no air can come between them;
They are joined to one another
They stick together and cannot be parted.

I wish I wouldn't have gotten on the boat that day
Might have seen you before you left
The buzzing and the bites, otherwise it was beautiful
Haven't talked about this
Seems like so many lifetimes ago
In the basement we were all talking and laughing
She said she'd never been out of the county
But I knew she'd be traveling
You came down the stairs and took a seat
And took my breath away
The realization
I couldn't help looking at you
He knew and turned towards me
I turned away but I didn't want to....

LongestRoad

You have two beauty marks, that means you're twice as beautiful
I hope you know what I'm talkng about Mister

LongestRoad

Wish I wasn't so vain
I would wear my glasses and be able to see
I hope everyone can see that Liberace is a liar
She and the beanpole help the demons that sit behind me
If the beanpole knew what they say but not my concern
I'll go on my merry way looking for the bluejay
who collected the donations that day
I once again ruined my life
because I should have runaway with him
Remember be close

Maybe you couldn't see it, but you got a smile. Lucky you!

I Got Shit!

(part I)

ever throw a steak onto the steel just over a campfire fairly early one morning?
eat it with your hands
there aint a fork or knife near you
toss the scraps over your shoulder or give the dog a bone
aint no thing
it's 8:13

go out hunting morels
grays & browns
dead leaves covering forests teeth-roots
sometimes hickory trees
other times large old oaks whistle
they'll whisper windsongs all to themselves

across the way yellow runs
purple dives
jumps for attention
sun has its laughter little ones color

LongestRoad

Remember when I was Barbie with the pink car and you were Ken the salesman.
5235 with the deeper voice

This is different
The place with the dogs and ducks
And the donations collected east

LongestRoad

A lawyer, a plumber, an architect
A ranger, a writer, a fisherman
A carpenter's boss or a musician playing in little bars
It wouldn't have mattered
We would've collided
Facebook or my space or somewhere else
We are meant to be
You think that all I want is a diamond and a ring of gold
But all I want is you

This isn't that good and some of it's stolen but it's how I feel

i always feel ive remembered you another place...
i picture you with a tomahawk and a good old friend
acquainted us many er travels and many meals
you are dear to us..

emotions are like glass
you can make it shiny and sparkle
to radiate beautiful light or
you can break it to only get cut
by the sharp pieces
you reap what you sow

asked
i did this
endless circular cool winds took it
amazed & playful clouds rolled on in
some were bunnies on hills of alfalfa
others drew pictures of floating castles
crisp air creates & dismantles floating dreams

?where does all this grow
pink flames against yellow racing down horizons
you'll see a queen back there
her garden like liquid
beside another set of parading horses
soon happenings bright twinkle prances

enormous birdbaths take in flutters higher than mountaintops
having a song of cotton candy entrances
full gardens some asleep
others are tears on iris purples
there you'll see her dance around
this fire-pit having embers lifting as tiny helicopters & angels

sometimes fireflies (sometimes not)
when counting cannot go on without chaos
blink & amazed in yellow against darkness
something like race horses let out birdcages
no more swinging small
their answers
their questions
?all matching perfectly
like classical pianists launched off the edge

it's not simple
