Gather Me In

count to the number 10
think as to want the belly afro
brand new day
humble & gay....

shelter spring day
in earth I will stay
gather me in
another page is now turned
lift high your grey

nestled above a parting turn
casting out from broadway
which way do we go
search beyond the plow

There Are Bridges To Be Burned Which Turn Another Page. - Poem by John Ackerman
There are bridges to be burned
which turn another page.

Form each circle
cast your bread upon the water,
It will return in measure and method unexpected
Yielding treasure.

There is energy to be stored
and
Experiences to be reviewed
Days of cheese and laughter
ponies
and that transient beauty that permeates the soul.

There is laughter paying homage to the memories
and the loss
which sneak up on me as I turn
to retrace
steps half remembered as my eyes
seek the bridge
now ashes
that separate me
from
my
grief.
Release Me...
locked into a spin
no where to begin
lest to affect the robotic pass
give a good kick in the ***...

locked inside an oceanic groove
shades of grass out of peoples field
release me...
the coach in your backyard;

Supporter in coats invasion
a daily supporter
Facebook even check full force in effect
release me...

stand out man goes ahead of you
turnip on toast to build you
release me...
belief on Twitter
Switch Blade

lest you blink the eye
sing a sweet lula by...
Today I'm Human Yet I Spit

No one gives a ****...
flying vocation you sit as a frog
you sleep aside the log;
leaning on the frenzy washed back with tears
holocaust with tears
miracle in motion
battered but to butter my toast in
waiting for the oven
pay a close remedy in

sit in a valley of whole some
building bridges stand by your man over
clouds & chipmunks
underneath it all we are after the same thing
poetry..the stuff deep inside of me
burning in anguish frozen ***
closet breath with mothball scent
here I hide between the frozen chew
look at my elbow parked outside my window
order form...
look at the magazine soft **** inside
the billows be your guide
soft hand to speak
stand still & repeat
Led Zepplin song remains the same
a grocery date with Stop & Shop's,"Marty"...
a token of well gestures
*** Wee Hermon jerking off in the bathroom
although widows peak summoned to the barn door swing
minutes to breath with *** on the beach
God is still in my heart through a latent guide
thoughts of underware..
come as good as it gets..
Major Jackson & Louise Gluck,
spring down with action
pillows with cashmere attire;
I sip on the magic potion
away from the casino tight token
breath in the sweet tense,
John Ashbery dead at 90
a slight riddle in the sand verticle
a double work slight of hand...
Rooster gay friend
he will be missed in another pardon kiss
people, faces & traces
There are bridges to be burned
which turn another page.
Form each circle
cast your bread upon the water,
It will return in measure and method unexpected
Yielding treasure.
There is energy to be stored
and
Experiences to be reviewed
Days of cheese and laughter
ponies
and that transient beauty that permeates the soul.
There is laughter paying homage to the memories
and the loss
which sneak up on me as I turn
to retrace
steps half remembered as my eyes
seek the bridge
now ashes
that separate me
from
my
grief.
Please light the flame

found in want insane;
mark the curtain
aside its fragrance
love in the ceiling...
love in the clouds
lover from her honor
love is the sun to chose a passing few
love flows a miracle glow
we all can see the real you
light upon light sticks together like glue
light the torch when...
a gut punch to flow
throughout my lazy window
places we need to go
bust up the beat
enhance by word it's given tempo
