Acres of sadness
 May 2016 LJ

I dreamed of my father
crossing the fields
on his one-eyed tractor
mowing acres of sadness
heading east of a moon
that'll be gone tomorrow
and I waded the creek
beneath a ridge
where my mother is shearing
dead roses and the smell
of those flowers floating
to the foot of the mountains
reminds me of her hair
and my father's laughter
disappearing across the hill.

This is the road we must part
there's no need to say goodbye
neither you nor I

This is the road we must part
there should be no regret
our past we will forget

This is the road we must part
never again to dream
love was not what it did seem

This is the road we must part
our hearts have reasons we don't know
let nothing be said--let things be so

This is the road we must part
only this we need to know
all love is sorrow

This is the road we must part
here never again shall we pass by
just walk away silently---for love lost you should not cry.

Wake up and know I love you
Wake up as I'm falling to sleep
Walk in dreams today
Knowing I dream of you

Wake up and forget the nightmares
Wake up to the rising sun
That me and my tired shoulders
Struggle to lift above your soul

Wake up and feel my light
Wake up to the songbirds
Singing you the songs
That I taught them to sing

Wake up and forget the darkness
Wake up to glorious morning
And let my hand be that of an angel
Guiding you to your destined peace

Wake up
And live the dream
I'm having now about you
A truth that I will always love you

No one is born great,
Its not even a matter of fate,
Greatness is a chosen route,
A seed to plant,that eventually bears fruit.
No blood is royal,
Anyone can be queen or king,
All that's needed is toil!
With just a little more effort and believing.
Many take dreams as folly,
But the wise understand that dreams do bring glory,
They don't become reality from without,
They become reality from action,and lack of doubt.
Believe once,
And watch where that takes you;you won't bounce.

I love you as only ancient civilizations do
Mayan calanders that read the stars to predict the future
Knew about you
And me
How our minds collide on a supersonic level
And how each step through fire
How each pain that each nerve in each fiber of skin in each of us
Feels
Feels each other as something bigger than the life we know
As large as an expanding universe
Where you reach every end of me
I love you as tides love the moon
And each gravitational pull makes me spill water that is my soul
On the beach that is your mind
I love you as the morning loves the song of the sparrow
Incomplete without the melodic tones of your soul
Only me alone
Unless of course
You are there
My music is dancing alone unless you hear it
I love you as flowers love the sun
And always reach
I love you as the air loves the wings
That fly through it
I love you as the clouds love the rain
And fall down upon your skin
I love you as a child loves dreams
And you are my childish hope for tomorrow
I love you
That is all
I love you

How am I meant to be alive
In a world that's dying?
Even the colors of the clouds are a darker tinge of gray
And my soul only sees the end
How am I meant to be alive?
I see cataclysm and devastation
A world of art falling into the depths of disbelief
And my eyes that see the end
See you

The joy of a morning

Your beauty is all the proof I need to believe in god
The way you reach me as only angels can
And even if I die time and time again
Every time I see your mind
I live again

Even stronger than before
My poetry is meant to go above the heads of the unenlightened. I'm doing a well enough job I guess

I want to know how your skin glows in the dark
How your touch is the warmth of a rising sun in spring
Your breath on my chest takes my heart to the clouds
Your stomache
Your breast
Mountains I get lost in
I long to know how your saying my name
In the highest reaches of passion
Is the music I was born with in my soul
Your shoulders
Your thighs
The promised land I walk through despair to reach

I wish to see the stars shine in your hair
To know how your eyes drown me in oceans
And shine a billion suns I look into as we feel creation
Your body
Your soul
Your love
Your eternal truth
The reason I have finally found to be

I want to be a god with you
And feel creation
