Each night I die a peaceful death
Each day I'm born anew

My former life a paling dream
Of which I cast adieu

Yet still I know of yesterday
As present selves require

I clean the cluttered day of din
my life, oh soul, inspire!

All I ever feel is change
And all I think is One

When feelings bind me to the Earth
Thought breaks towards the Sun

On senseless paths that I contrive
Each day I pay the toll

Each day of thirst I dare imbibe
The reservoir of soul

cloaked in vague tapestries
woven of light
her eyes hold eternities
deep as the night

her golden harp hair
that sings in the breeze
her symphonic stare
brought the world to its knees

If our dreams were stars
she was the sky
who thought up a cloud
that started to cry

she was the shadow
cast over the day
and she was the wind
that blew her away

We crawled about the brightest childhood
Eye's pining at the luster  
and to our dismay
when at last we stood
alone and adjusted
the world seemed a dark and senseless structure

And when the world affronts me
with adventure and death

I'll be by the water
crooked smile laughing with life on my breath

Scurry surface poet
there isn't much time
you've been swept by the stream
of the regular rhyme

If your words only go
to the places they know,
If they're nailed to the Earth
Then how will they grow?

Let them branch out
and watch them unfold
Let them ascend
and they'll never get old

These window screens that
Stretch like puny prison bars
And pollute my view

Lo I know they are
Invisible from afar
The curse of this house

we remember man is cursed
to always love the self first
but always we forget to guide
with the boundaries of self in mind

We sleep in cubes
We walk in lines
Lets not be victims
Of the times

Love, that pendant light
which in the night glows brighter
as you look away

many much, many more
the words are scattered on the floor
I kick them with my careless feet
until the poems themselves complete

You beckoned me
I fell to you
and with our hands
you slowly drew
The picture; us

A single sound
Our single breath
In perfect time
In style, In step

The world stood still
I could have cried
This moments thrill
Has danced and died

It's completely different
And exactly the same

Perfectly simple
Infinitely complex


Sufficiently I'm born
Yet to the Ideal form

This mutual duality
defines my stark reality

He's a lover, not a fighter. They said.

I fail to see the distinction. She said.

Love is the greatest fight of all.

A whisper of genius heard
Or phantom in my periphery
Ever stalking me  

Each time I guess their meaning  
Each time I try
The spirits cry...

extrapolate and you castrate
exonerate and you evaporate
say it once more and it's dead

Life engine turning
By God fuel burning
For a system still learning
How to be, how to be

Out on the brink of that infinite sea
The inimical tide
Crashing over me
Adventure and death
A beautiful turmoil
Ever so, I hold my breath
Peacefully loyal

Trust in the change
Have faith in the flux
It's always this way
Running in and out of luck

As a boy I'd seen it
Clear and true
The why, the how
In every hue
But now I fear
My vision clear
Had pierced the world
Through and through

life engine turning
by god fuel burning
for a system still learning
how to be, how to be

trust in the change
have faith in the flux
it's always this way
running in and out of luck

Hold the Sun above your head
While He holds you beside Him

thoughts thump like a drum
off the skin of my mind
leaping into to the world
with the truths that they find

Genius like lightning
Strikes the sky despite me
Blame the watchful beast I'm riding

Sweet object of inclination
Selfish keeper of care
Reason serves to be a patron
Runs the beast into despair

Soulful beast here sleeps
But ever the low heart beats
To catch her sacred kiss
Winds him for the working day

Remember the time we walked as a group
It was down by the river – I bet that you do
I didn’t know you, and you didn’t know me
But that didn’t matter – apparently
You brushed up beside me and sweetly said “hi”
I fell in love with you then, but I didn’t know why
We started to talk, and I put on my charm
Hoping my heart wouldn’t cause you alarm
But it usually does, and I think that it did
I looked for you later, but I think that you hid
That didn’t stop me, it made me search more
For the soft-eyed earth angel – I had to adore
I love you, you see, and I think I know why
Because love always says – let’s give it a try

A drop of fear in the pen
Stains the whole piece - ugly
Be lightning that strikes the sky
Feel your way through
Without a shudder of a try
