2011
I dive in the human sea.
Only a small water drop
In the dripping crowd.

The infinite ocean rages
The endlessly mass rears up
Like a gathering thunderstorm.
Seething, sinister alike as soothing.

The thundering, mighty tsunami
devours me, wreathes me,
lets me be a part of
the force of nature,
gives me strength,
makes me feel like
I'm invincible.

I drift and float
Until I'm weightless
And drowned..
Desert sands billow in great open of silence,

The sun is quaking in deep grains of swirling,

Earth and sky are a great pool of indifference,

Even birds have no song in stormy desolation.
The girl is now a woman
Fairy tales have faded into reality
As a child she knew everything
As an adult she knows nothing
Going down a road that leads to death

Life has been a rouse
A lie that gets older never wiser
Old age forgets what youth was
Youth can never know what age will be
Wrinkles are long forgotten smiles.

Age brings wisdom they say
But what if wisdom is with the youthful?
A wisdom lost as age advances
Older is not always wiser
Weakness is not always inexperience.

The girl is within the woman still
She waits until the mixture of her
Becomes a grace,her life stops being a race
Waiting, until at the top of the hill
She can race down.

Two souls once stood against the night,
upon a mountain in a distant valley.
And there in anguished shrieks on loud,
screamed most primitive betrothal vows.

Now many winds have swept the mountain's face
and time has run its endless jagged course,
while the souls like frightened deer have run
to where the frozen brook of fear was sprung.

The great stag drank and was refreshed,
though heart and soul were nearly drown.
The white doe running on to catch a dream,
fearing turbid waters of the foreboding stream.

I cannot save the beauty of a snowflake,
for the warmth of my love will melt it.
And severed will those souls remain,
divorced by nature for its wanton selfish gain.

With snow capped peak bending like a finger,
Gilboa Mountain beckons me to come.
Yet, I fear my hopeless mind must be depraved,
for it offers me a home, I'd sooner call a grave.
Written when I was a very young and foolish man.
tonight the shadows ate the moon
i sat there in awe as it was slowly consumed
little by little the brightness was devoured
and behind the shadows, the moon never cowered
the blood moon shined
as the sun and moon aligned
and the moonlight becomes you
you too are consumed
eyes bright and full of wonder
the cold wind makes you shudder
make a wish as the last sliver disappears .
let the music of the night fill your ears
