When Darkness Comes Calling
And You're Cold n Alone
Just Strike Your Flint
Across My Heart Of Stone
Sometimes, all you need is a spark of light to see where you're going

mist in solemnity
mutes the sounding
leather bells in silence


ii.

salt surges waste wantonly
gulls guttural in guises
of waifs


iii.

driftwood delivered dull of
deluged dilution
ochre offering to dune's
divestment


iii.

sea glass shivers into
shallow sandy pockets
scintillating color schemes


iiii.

conches lie abandoned
in stands of sea grasses
cacophonous quiet


v.

i am wide awake yet dreaming

sleepwalking

into the

waves

Some alliteration for my morning
 Feb 2016 Jayanta
Tryst
Your quarter slotted playfully for your immortal game,
One player poised with eager hands to make the hall of fame,
One single life to beat the clock and score an epic ride,
Take up your stance and fix a trance to best the foes inside

up and up an angel flies
towards her gated heavenly skies
as fire and thunder fuel her rise
unto the great divide


Fingers blur and points amass as lesser scores go by,
The ticking clock relentless as it tolls a lullaby,
No time to waste with scenic routes, step up another stride,
Skilled muscles itch to reflex twitch and will not be denied

vaulted in her angel eyes
is written where your future lies,
her history of untold demise
for mortals yet untried


Climbing up the ladder reaching for the very top,
Aching limbs are slowing but your fingers dare not stop,
Eyes fixed on the highest score as seconds slip and slide,
Hold nothing back and keep on track to satiate your pride

*dreams are crushed when fate denies
an angel of her final prize
as night condemns her breathless sighs
to fade into the void

Will life grant one more breath
to lungs eager to breathe
and a heart beat one more time
to loves eager wish to be fulfilled.
Can all this be true
a present moment
where life conspires to keep on living
the great conspiracy of love outside
and within, all creation.

The radio used to play songs I could sing to
they tortured and set free what I could not
those teenage years flew by in a haze
a fog of teen love and rebellion
and the radio spoke a language only teenagers understood
while parents had no appreciation so it seemed
of music that spoke about, and for, all young hearts and souls.

Depression can be dark
And the darkness is an illusion
It can seem as if it is never ending
Stop you from seeing all the light around you
As if there is no hope at the end of your tunnel
As if no hope can be found anywhere
Ignoring all the opportunites around you
Depression is a blindfold
Pressed on to your eyes
Depression is a whisper
Saying the world wants you to die
Depression is a lie
Depression is an illusion
And i pray that you stay a live long enough
To see that

This kind of has me worried
As it's sort of getting late
When am I supposed to grow up
Once again has crossed my plate

Quickly pushing at the 60's
Quite the unfamiliar scene
Still stuck in adolescence
Those that know me, know what I mean

You would think that at some point in time
I would have had enough
And somewhere down this age old line
I would have found time to grow up

But as the game is played so far
So far with what I've found
Maturity may not be for me
In the cards this time around

Guess I'll leave be with the degree handed me
And the cards I have been dealt
Handing this growing up business over
To everybody else
