Her eyes sent asteroids falling,
Like gravity possessed space.
Lines from my old poem "Planet-Jumper"

Silos breaching the skyline,
Large ****** of the landscape.
The smells of the barnyard are pungent..
Although not unpleasant, really, rather pleasant.

These old farms all along this winding road,
They've stood tall for a century or two.
Their clap board  and stone attest to a time
When what was built was built to last.

The pictures taken don't quite take in the charm,
The nobility, the steadfastness, the breath of a solid life
People seem as scarce as hens teeth, not a soul to be seen.
Just horses lambs cows and cats and dogs.

he held up a dead coyote
like he had just won first prize
smiling from ear to ear
a look of pride in his eyes

the caption said "predator control"
which brought a question to my mind
if we call survival being a predator
then what do we call our kind?
posted this a year ago, but it hardly got any attention...posting again to remind myself of why i write

I've grown ridiculously fond of you
With no logic or science on my side of reason
A soulfire burning wildly
Flames growing out of control
My heart dancing in the middle of it all
Adding turpentine and gasoline
More fuel for its desire
In this sweet dream I long for the comfort of your lips
To find love hiding within
And in lust I cry
For the sin of your hips
And long to explore every strand of your hair
Every breath of your soul
And the depths of your eyes
I want to see everything you have hiding inside
Laughing in the hands
Of madness
I walk through a mirror in the dead of night
And find my reflection crafting dream after dream
Pulling and forming the blood from my heart like porcelain
Into beautiful sculptures of you
And as I watch
I see that my reflection  looks more like me than I have looked in such a long while
Everything paues
And the air and time stop
My heart rises and floats
To where I am standing
Frozen and smiling
And then my heart speaks to me...
"I've been broken
And I've been bruised...
It's true...
Over and over...
Time and again...
But...
Have I ever been
Wrong
When it came to falling
In love?"
With no logic or science to argue
I had nothing to say but nod in agreement
And my heart just explained
Why I'm ridiculously fond of you

Out of your mind
Into the atmosphere
Leave it behind
Let them all disappear
Deep in dark space
Lost amongst dying stars
Escape this place
Shine brighter than quasars
