Poems, sunsets, lonely hours. Music crying, so loud— blurred unhappy faces, distorted and scattered through the crowd. All the different colors, all the different wandering colors. All the sweet without the sour, all these minutes inside an hour. All alone in an empty room, staring up at a lonely moon that once glowed so uniquely true. Cosmo’s moon.

Cosmo's moon
Just because you might think me mental Doesn't mean I want to be An experiment. I admit it, I thought Quiet Riot was cool. What?

Experimental Poetic!
Words like wasps clamor across empty, luminant screens Voices cast in Unicode Feelings in Unicode screams I close my eyes between the words just so I can breathe As the words start to sting and my brain begins to swell and the words echo and the stings linger—— Happens ever time Behind every letter there is a pulse Of a stranger I will never see or know I remind myself of the human heart that beats behind the glow

Behind the Glow
Let these words I write, be your cordial invite Because I write these words for you between heartbeats Where our love, hopes and dreams meet. Let this be my eyes Gazing into yours Dancing to the rain drops I'll hold you, till it all stops If You'll hold me, while it pours

The Cordial Invite
Gift of The Magi Were I, Magi, I might toss the runes, Look across the sweeping sands And marvel at the dunes. Read the words of poets Who have courted many moons, Search the far horizon For signs of passing. This sense of great sadness Moves through the midnight air. I ask a lone stranger, but they Just look at me and stare. And if I stare right back at them, Their stare becomes a glare. So I look across the sweeping sands, And marvel at the dunes, Open up my velvet bag, And again, I toss the runes.

Gift of The Magi
Poetry is romance in the mind A conduit, to the changing  faces of truth A careful way—to convey   Our exaltations— of vision and beauty Of duality and love Of moment and memory Of the heavens above To strive with hopeful humility   to shape and elevate For connection, for visibility For a glimpse of that perfect light For just one touch—of the divine

Poetry Is
It is not the heart That is complex It is the burdens We place up on it It's not the reflection, the mirror reflects It's what our eyes see beyond it It is not the dreams—we've broken It is the dreams—we've shared It's not the words — we've spoken It's the wisdom— we've heard.

The Conversation
Where you might see—an owl I see a lovely creature With eyes the size of silver dollars The most striking of their features And how they survey and own the night Always watching, never losing sight Mirroring the moon's reflection, with their eyes.

I suppose I shall always be—a wanderer Walking the halls of my own mind Always unsure, of what I might find.

The Barefoot Wanderer
I am your view from your porch I am the sand in your toes   I am the light from your torch I am the bearer of your woes I am your mirror on the lake   I am your connection to the land I  am the leaf stuck to your rake I am the hammer in your hand I am the loneliest, part of you— Watching— Waiting—
