Come

( little one )

•       •     •

We are the tired
The weary
The heavy of heart

•
Come

( little one------ we)

•    •    •

In the center of STORM

The residue of rage

Waiting for the alien invasion

Hoping they are our friends

•

( Becoming little )

•    •    •

We are the seed

We are the tree

The garden

The world!

/////

What am I saying?

How should I know?

•    •

There should only be LOVE here

NOT THIS!

•••

Only love

Let us only love and see what happens
Okay?

Love evil

Til it is gone

To write a great poem is easy
  
To write of simple love requires courage

••

To believe in god is to believe in god

•

To believe in courage creates god and by-passes belief

••

••

I saw a lovely girl walking thru the mountains

I am a lovely boy

•

I am un-armed
(. I am ready to fight)

•

DRAGON ARE FLYING THRU THE SKY

All the answers to the right questions are simple

•

Confusion is offered to you as

-- a safe place to hide --

•

Adults like confusion the same way teenagers like
To play

---  falling in love   ---

••

Falling in love with lovers is simple

That is why they are usually avoided

••

To truly love is simple

But there would be no confusion in which to hide

•

Everything we do we do

---   On purpose   ---

•

It is stupid to be stupid

••

The question and the answer is the same thing

------
------

Some say -- it is not a time for HEROICS
but
A time for HEALING --

•

They might as well say
To just let the Rich stay rich
And just stay poor and shut up

••

Most sound byte philosophies
Basically say the same thing

••

When the TRUE LOVER comes

(And you too would love)

You must follow

•

Even if it's the

DRAGON LADY WITH THE ROSE TATOO
ON HER BREAST

(If you would love)

You must follow

••

Do what you must
(What you want)

•

What will they say?

There will be nothing to say

Heed

(Don't go too slow !)

•

It's really stupid to pretend you're stupid

(Well --- wouldn't ya know?)

••

Some pretend they live forever
Some pretend they don't

•

Heed

Life and the living

Beware

The masters and their philosophies

•

Their is a humanity

One that you only join

FOR FREE

"I'll love you forever"

It's 40 years later

I wonder if she does

" ain't never gonna cry again"
----she said

•                •

It's 40 years later

I see her
Sitting on the park bench

Silently crying

//////

The girl she was so scared her ******* refused to grow

•

A flower grew up from the sands of time

•

She swam out into the sea until she drowned

•

When morning came she was feeling better

••

True love true love
True love true love

/////////

She carries silent corpses
But
She does not weep

(She cannot feel -- she cannot care
Any more )

She says

BETTER OFF DEAD

•

She looks each empty eye
Thru to You

And starts to speak
But she is too weak

And just falls down

We can do anything
(We just say who we are)

Everyone's dream is visible

••

( &
                It really ain't that hard)

No!
It ain't that hard

••

Down on your luck is the best place to be
Means you're  thru with all illusion

All the better to see

Who it is comin down the road

•

I am here

Simple man

My vision

Contains
Every dream

And we are on it

Our destroyed souls is the price we pay

••

And all the lies about !!

All the lies about it !!

We eventually repeat

Little pangs of " property"

( Images of slavery )

Left- over from "another world"

••

We seek lovers (slave "labor")

And lead them "in chains "
Thru the  --- corridors

••

( property )

•

Over our heads the cool winds play

While we

Trapped in our bodies

Rootlessly "rooting"

Pigs on the prowl

The delicacy!

She !

•

She knows me!

••

I told her I loved her and she laughed aloud

••

Up on haiku mountain
The master sat

The river flowing to your door

••

She

•

She told me she loved me when I knew what love means

••

I hadn't seen her in  1000 years

But I recognized her easily

••

She  sits upon haiku mountain
She breaths

Oh ! My god!

The soft wind's kiss

••

She smothers her love in ****** dreams
Of
Deeper *******

••

She gonna win the game she doesn't even want to play!

--

Dumb kid

--

Her mind becomes a prison

Her words the barbed wire
To keep all the strangers locked in

•

She has visions of herself 20 years  from now

These become the goads that spur her hate

••

The wind !

Softly!

Caresses her cheek

••

She ducks her head

NOTHING will change her ways

She proudly utters as her wars go on

She walks the high hill over looks the sea

She sees behind her the high school yard

The fractured souls in the prison corridors

The ****** addictions

The love that is but disguised hate

••

She's a sweet kid!

••

Has become wiser than allowed

•

She walks the high hill over looks the sea

--

Images of young boys and girls

All around her striving to become
Whole and complete

--

She will not go back down again

NEVER ----- is written fiercely in her brain

••

Powers powers unspoken of!

These she gathers as she goes her way

So easy to say

" I just don't understand "

& to

--   --- walk away ---   --

Shakin our heads
Like we

Was bein as true as possible

••

Such pain!

Like it's just a
Part of the games

Everyone plays

••

Oh oh oh

Sweet darlin

Oh I know you see

The road leads to the river

Ya cross to reach the high hills

•

The troubadour

•

Tells ya everything

Come let us follow

And listen to the words he sings

Broken love
                Pretending
That we don't

Understand
What we are doing

••

Broken hearts oftimes never mend

•

We destroy others so casually

Sayin we never meant such thing

••

Sometimes a crippled life lasts forever

Somehow the sense of power over rides
Our human-ness

Sometimes we just like to flaunt
The needs that are so hard to be met

Sometimes we just forget

(Most of the time )
We just forget

••
Broken love

Broken trust

••

Crippled lives all around

The lovely poet makes his rounds

Speaking of apology

Speaking of forgiveness

••

Broken love

Maybe the hearts will mend

And we may heal ourselves

And be human again

Should not be afraid of Lonliness?
