painting bowling balls full of smaller flowers using a van motor

please stop doing yourself a pirate ship
you're not that vicious
no stinky ass beard or fire swims from you
you can beat sunlight with your two fists
but don't do that
smile instead

bring me a set of laughter
have us music
because we can do this like that
love this late winter day
we'll light a crystal room or two
plugging everything into opening ceilings
like grape wines wrapped pleasantly in sleep

lifted with forever & ever
wild horses prance with songbirds going on
hung chimes from our sun porch become dolphins when clouds are still
lasting here throughout all of the lands
all of the years together we have put life's grand puzzles

sometimes wrought iron holds us together as a old manor
crawling inside ivy & gardens
frozen or flowing fountains do deliver each day
opened under star fields, moon pieces & sun blasts
all of the day's nights
but you'd never see all this magic
the mystics slipped away the old shadows
now are none gone from here like dropping away into the sea
as fragile as a king
his queen there
her throne velvet songs as strings strum

a crisp standing forest
has let us know this
while dazed surprised curtains flung themselves about
thrilled with all of this song & castle strength
what can you say the sun
when gentle snow fell last dark time

"Hear me, my chiefs!
I am tired; my heart is
sick and sad. From where
the sun stands I will fight
no more forever."

    inside
    trying opening with the rest
    lotus flowers sit low & high clouds
    restless tigers where she is bored fixed to walls
    she'll sound tears filling air pieced together with miserable timing
    i'll be across over on black island with lonely stones having lost our way

    a bitter wolf skinny
    outlining moon craters howl
    going nuts where it aint right
    offshore a few hard sailors (blasted) downing rum
    their nonsense holds a polished brass spyglass telescope
    you would imagine mothers' mastered better days
    another hopeless mess of music hits guitar hands where no lit lighthouse screams with the wolf

    you would
    i would not
    screaming banshee
    a fiddler's place without eyes has no gold pieces in his case
    he sits playing sideways for no one
    trees remain blown aloud bowed
    still playing on
    string player's horsehair bow dives across distances between sky & fingers
    a sun & a willow try to remind him where she will be writing her diary next

    her dreams
    she pen
    her cares
    she holds
    her glistening undone self
    she

    it's just a hungry green & purple catapulted-vaulted-lid as vast as imagination dares
    her poor smile relit lotus

    from time to time
    snow rainbows hit me
    my mouth broken
    beat by miracles
    whipped into joyous dance
    i saw all marching valley dandelions whisper within another wind & another wind
    easy far puff dances at a constant pleasure filled float
    this is where she lies the soft bed down
    a waiting open candle or two storms in my chest

    she'll come down
    autumn like
    when before this very winter you shoulda saw these forests let loose & slip away
    a cold grave of twigs snap footprints
    trusting paths circle pillows where we hold on
    where without asking for or trying for spectacular dreaming has their ways with us

    it's not as simple as it seems

    death
    birth
    remember

    how happy will you be when going
    while slipping from your mind
    a heartbeat not any longer had

    i think about this often
    reminded by life we all go away
    we all happened from our beginnings
    selective stars thrown to the ground
    it was felt like hammers & breast bones met as shorelines
    you spun chaos about the room
    bloodied up
    mountains bloated weep coming & going
    shrinking blasts
    you can hear each sun sin in darkness
    it is as countless as bone cancer
    or a ripping instrument for pain

    you're born
    you're no more
    a diamond hidden or exposed
    black curtains made of stone
    lead weights come down long halls of life
    nothing new in feeding oceans' deep bottom
    dragging across coral all our dreams
    all our fears
    every bit of our happiness way beneath buried

    we can not understand this swirl
    this is time untied
    no more roar from beasts
    where the crying moon still lands like always far off & naked
    alongside the lost highway we can not remove ourselves from

    had a knitted scarf tonight
    threw it
    a grandmother's, a mother's basket of yarn
    she stood there like a puddle during a rain
    where nighttime prances around playing throughout her & i

    this area of fog delivers dandelion soft once burnt off
    you'll see shadows on roofs run across leaping from limb & glass with what appears to be steel claws catching rides on low clouds & startled stampedes of cattle, donkey & fish

    nothing will surprise this night
    or ones like it

    when all of a sudden there you are
    flexing with the forest floor
    through windows night-birds sing
    we roll with the river flying off
    sweet comes in form of candle lit current
    our endurance's name 'a meandering monarch congregating'
    wide & high boulders lace the bank
    a friend wets our throats for us
    as you sing under passing willows

    we'll be there soon where we want to be sailing on smooth smoke
    a silky living trance we pass through
    unlocking doors
    harvesting all we know & hold
    gathering all our tears on wind's quiver

  • Phenomenal poetry, unique and abstract. Riding the Smoke in trance sooner than later sounds best. Still trying to get my bearings though, where the fuck am I? This is PearlJam.com? I still don't see.

    using a wing feather
    we passed sage around 700 years ago
    where a hawk flew through the web
    a black widow inside the sky

    she
    moon's romance against earth's blood
    another waterway filled passion
    her damp ceiling gathering stars unseen
    a rainy night inside got led zeppelin calling

    ancient hills in thump
    being inside you'll feel everything in heaving
    the caves all ours
    every escapes all night long
    even rivers run love down like a big fucking drum from the sun

    heard a wild drum
    could have been beavers' tails smacking ponds
    it exploded way back there behind our heads
    cadillac
    or
    lincoln
    smooth ancient asian silks down the runner
    something exploded a light bulb
    we went down there with old christmas lights draping guitars

    a few dulcimers & tomorrow's lessons brought us to keith moon
    he stood at least 7ft tall at least
    a squirrel rounded his shoulders
    in & out of his shirt sleeves back up his back
    no one home at our address the call closed "shakin all over"

    he told us as friends
    all teary eyed
    out there a birdbath
    robin's goin to town
    the clothesline movin groovin
    nothin there but too much
    a breeze can not keep up
    sold out was a spectacular scene opening like a canyon holding all the clouds & exciting skies of darkness & fire colliding as one could ever remember floating through in spirit form

    like chains wrapped around seas & ships
    we're done
    we're goin down real rough in equivalent
    nothin easy but breakin glass

    goodbye we waved
    she's as beautiful this going down sun
    branches willow soft ride across her breath
    tangling up through her hair
    blackness creeping up sprinkled in shine

    early this night you can tell she's sleepy
    it is what sounds like a harp far off over several hills
    across water
    over shade trees where silk is spun
    treasure chests as restful
    never opened

    she'll soon sleep against me
    dreaming will have us both
    songs will emerge
    some will color mix & so a sky does this
    just before winter others die away falling around us
    you'll hear this gold (fade)
    brown as crisp shells
    (carpet our feet)

    lady well above the stairs
    she'll walk right up grabbing love from fruit trees
    skipping stones with clouds across the sky
    suddenly she is a song on a wing
    you'll hear her breeze doing a soft scream
    driving across those low fields
    sometimes ice & war
    or warm & green in love

    she had ran with color
    drew gray on white canvas valleys & archways
    hid like a seed before its sun gave hold
    grew grapes on the vine as old as time
    here she traded dreams of luster for touch
    her only tears allow rain everyday

    she'll be forgiven
    not forgotten
    she'll be your spring giving drink
    pushing on roots chasing deep earth
    or leaves up top bouncing themselves across golden touched pieces of air only as perfect as her hair crowned by nature's brilliance, starfire shine, waterfall drops spraying across her shoulders where hummingbirds nest & taste it all
