To smile at the carnation, So gallantly growing, At peace with this world. In silence... I tune in a short conversation Between minds and bodies - Incredibly cold. My heart has surrendered To nightingale's song. I dream of Rhode Island... I'm leaving! So long! The winds of Sonora, My nannies and friends. My love for Evora - My tears know no end. The shadows of Mordor, With sunrise they fade. Grace, Kindness and Splendour: Three Buddhas in jade. I feed roastede pidgeone To poor ryebread crumbs. Avoiding curmudgeons, I'm playing professional dumb. Caressing the grass-blades, I live in a drop. Arcadian arcade: There, God has no job. In hurting the Nature We drain our souls. Let’s all at once cease Being ignorant ghouls. ...To stroke the carnation, To gently kiss buds. To eat simple meals Like lentils and spuds. To carry some water, To chop down some trees. To stop feeling rotten. My soul is at peace. The time is forever, The purpose is now. No “when” and no “where”, No “why” and no “how”. The light effervescent, The sound circumaural, The hearts ever-pleasant, The dreams polynomial. ...Collapsing eternity, Upheaving humanity, Rock-bottom fraternity, Defying the gravity. Creative destruction Is staunchly forbidding. The wisdom of ancients Is widely-misleading. Depleting our anger Is key to survival. Harnessing the hunger, Improptu revival. Combustion of senses, Precarious laughter. Incurable sepsis, Delirious canter. Regrets are forgotten, Bright days are all-cherished. Let’s live unbegotten Until we all perish. 13.06.2012

Wild stallion live free Galloping unbound Always you flee Never chained to your ground Wild stallion how swiftly you fly Over distances and plains How courageous you try Hide your aches and pains Wild stallion your hooves beat the earth With fierce determination Let loose and be rid of your girth Be free from trepidation Wild stallion covet your solitude Embrace the run in silence Your formidable strides of fortitude Bound forth with repentance Wild stallion I see you there Mane billowing as you thundered across Grounds fly beneath you without a care Running without remorse, gliding without loss Wild stallion I was once like you Soaring to the ends on unrestrained wings A life that is now but an echo; a faint pathetic hue A life that is now filled with broken things Wild stallion keep on running free Keep galloping and know no bounds You're free, no need to flee Outrun the chains, leave them as faint indiscernible sounds Wild stallion how I envy you As you canter, your coat gleam in the light See me as you always do Just a reflection who has ceased to fight

Who knew what all a horse could do Most think horses work Walk, trot, canter Being ridden for pleasure Driven for work Who knew they could do so much more Opening doors for the disabled Allowing the autistic, cerebal palsy, mentally challenged, parapalegic to move around, to feel the wind on their faces, to laugh To feel in control of their surroundings for the first time Yet who knew that horses do more than all of this Helping kids and adults with low self esteem Pulling them up to feel good about themselves Giving confidence when it has been taken away Allowing them to feel successful A horse can be a confidant, an enforcer, a best friend Legs to move, muscles for strength, a body to hold, Who knew a horse could do so much more than show, jump and plow They can help a troubled child let go of anger A disabled child feel in control of such an uncontrollable world A mentally challenged person feel accomplishment and free of that which traps them Horses can help so many different people Overcome all types of obstacles Bullies, fear, anger, sorrow, disbelief, self pity, frustration and hurt Giving them strength to take up for themselves The power to conquer being afraid Allowing them to feel happy and sure of themselves Control of something allowing them to feel alive again Horses become hard working friends They love unconditionally Don't judge or cause inferiority They don't care if you can talk correctly or at all Horses could care less about disability All they care about is you Even when they are not loved they love When abused they still work So it is so wonderful to put an unloved horse with a special needs person Both win by giving and receiving the love and tenderness they all deserve Horses Helping People A wonderful blessing People needing Horses A miraculous discovery All rights reserved

Must we rub elbows, Post-Dated Brother Because of my Drama to her commit I know my Roles; Her tongue was the other For my Radar to pick the Better of it Perhaps our Wine seeps better with Age On my Canter I drink less of Question Why? For her, Heart's Duty for joy her page Quill my Weak Signature's uncondition Your Cross-Founder states we all must Forgive And His Baptist turns those Elders from stone Meaning, my Tarnished History did live Of which I murdered to leave me alone. Easy to say, as long as I draw breath And that is my Purpose to Act in Health.

SONNET TRIBUTE: JIPO CERVANTES - RESPONSIBILITIES
There might have been a time When I wasn’t full of fear so topped off Like a gassy sombrero like a burrito left in the Sun to bake and there might have Been a Time When I hadn’t yet eaten a burrito landlocked In New England, locked in a small state of Fear and knowing that knowing just isn’t Enough. There might have Been A time when luxury was a nickel apiece paperback Book at the Unitarian Church fall sale to raise funds for Their roof. To raise their Roof. And there Might Have been a joy in my spark Plugs, A joy In my canter A Joy in My legs that preceded my Fears. There might Have Been a time: When I would pick one of the seven records we owned And delicately put it on the turntable, thinking I will Have my own money and buy my own music. When I idly lift the leaded paint from the 200 year old wood And scratch it to smell its sweet aroma. And put my hand on the glass pane Think hard enough and open your eyes and it will be 1838 again. Oh where are the people? Oh where when there might have been a time Did I not see who they are? Or they did not register. I must have watched them everyday Observant so keen to be seen Is it possible to feel so much for feeling so little? Or did I feel gulfs of embrace that were not there? I wanted and I desired and I dug. I craved and thought and speculated and clung. And there might have Been A time when I roared on my Schwinn down the long empty Roads of my town. Invoking our gods. Invoking my claims. There was a time when I stuttered with Compassion and could feel a touch observed There was a time: Across the street in a lit house at dusk. Their curtains are open, their lights are on. Oh, the sun has settled down There is that time, golden, when I Look into your kitchen, and the wallpaper is Blue and harvest gold with small pictures of oil lamps on Them and your walls are mustard gold. Your plates are unbreakable I see them lustre in the Overhead light, fashioned like a wagon wheel. Guns ablazin’. Trails awash. There might be a time when I can slip back Into your kitchen lick the plates and then Run my fingers over the wall paper. Tracing the outline of the oil lamps imprinted.

The winding drive along the sea I took so many times to steal away from anarchy to pacify my mind The city sirens come undone before the ocean spray then down the hill to U.S. 1 and thus begins the day The Pier receding to the South Will Rogers to the North Topanga is the turn we seek as we are going forth The starkness of the hills and pines the rivulet below as Westward the Pacific shines beneath the morning glow The twists and turns I still recall though roads are better now no unpaved sections left at all nor farmland for a cow No Austin Mini Union Jack the landmarks too have changed and I so lost since coming back I almost feel deranged The Health Food Store with hitching post the horses canter past the countryside I love the most and visit now at last But on Mulholland Highway there surprises lie in wait there’s razor wire on the fence and horses at the gate As giant dishes aiming deep into a mountain wall so Orwell’s promise do we keep applying it to all But I remember still the day the hillside turned to fire the way to turn had burned away the sky was black with ire And in a wide spot in the road in reverence did we stand a fox, a hare, my dog and I all watched the burning land Can nothing make us feel as small as fire pure and cruel? to know it as a cunning foe - to know we’re naught but fuel But through the smoke a fire truck led us down on Kanan Dume toward the cleaner seaward air away from certain doom And all at once the trial was o'er for we had reached the sea as once Carrillo had before and now my dog and me We pass the house of river stone Moonshadow’s Restaurant and even Tidepool Gallery for years my favorite haunt And back to Santa Monica on PCH we drive admiring still the beauty yet more thankful we’re alive The winding drive along the sea I took so many times to steal away from anarchy to pacify my mind

I am here Yet most times I'm not Likened to a fleeting zephyr Perchance may be caught Beyond the bend, it's hard to see Uncertain, unpredictable, unsure There are chances however unlikely To chart life's trot and canter Awaiting the moment I would voraciously savour The fullness of my being that's rare and transitory Because almost always, I'm drowning in doubt and clamour With fevered breaths drawn more quickly

. *One day at a time swings the pendulum; only love awakens senses too ephemeral to be restrained, like the magic of a phonograph stylus in a vintage vinyl groove and the sensual touch       of skin so new It's not easy to watch a flock flying away       in the distance, seeing the expanse beyond reach of a wandering mind;       heed distracted       by the slow sway of the treetops hypnotic careen Doves dive on feathered canter,       silent as the winged wind, broke free from the gravity       befallen the weight             of the world                                                        Looking up wondering             beyond the sky,          the passing clouds             crawl across palliating the dusk hazed horizon Synchronicity transcends across an immeasurably deep river chasm,       into a wordless abyss       ensconced unthought               between         here and there Silent silhouettes             glide across       the valley void below,             wings to the sky and, if you listen to a moment breathe,             you can hear                   the silent peace ............. you can feel the prevailing wind's direction             blowing through your soul*              Jesse Stillwater             December 2017

Crescendo the silent beat of hearts in chests at all things nigh and beauty, or lovers' eyes locked in stargaze wrest, on cue as sunrise scarlet symphony. Fortissimo in birdsong chirp and banter while car horns blare with careless fervour ; on pavements listless feet in patter as suits and ties commute in canter. At noon the music peaks, forzando. Soccer mums braced in cafe convo of lunchtime gossip in staccato while babes in prams asleep in piano. On cue at sundown scarlet symphony the baton slows in rallentando. Call to slumber twilight melody- the daily music diminuendo.

Daily Symphony
Why do I feel compelled To describe you as imprinted On the bone face of my skull? Am I in there, rattling Around with each curt nod When you offer me your time? Hurled against the stretches of the mind The head's own incubator Some Palaeolithic cave Where the only inexperienced scrawlings Are your portrait In this cave I have invented film Starting with a rickety old Zoetrope Of the first smile; lips bracketing The teeth, enabling The tongue, to churn out The voice, your nuclear voice Hanging my Nagaskian heart by a hair I haven't needed irradiation Like the hand-canter of a harp player I have been plucking my scalp Hardly Lilith but perhaps Deforesting Eden Will tempt you from Eve.

A Succubi's Trichotillomania
weathered fingertips in sensual crescendo arouse blitzing keystrokes to commove wild Js and Zeds, Ks and Is too. harmony of the king's three-thousand acre jungle swallowing the stormy orange cyclical stew and tantamount to its feral cavities thrushes whet jagged spinal bones to split news of the no-rhythm, sambas of new religious canter infiltrates the **** cavernous walls This inner ear and greater sound knew to find sanctuary here. Lends its awesome craft to the next And next, and next, and next; beautiful unboxed melodies new unused sweet single-reeds threading that 20s centrifuge. Saxophone. Incantations unfolding Aloof in its ***** it unwraps The veil of green, a costume of black coffees Cigarette stained curtains exhumed to greet Thick plumes of albicant sinewy smoke At the heap of its glorious song Uniting the funnel of eardom to consecrate Bliss. Intrinsic and purple An irrational knot of Portuguese drum Met over by African toms and rattles A glue imbued into those unmistakable Chakras of this spell of mourning and reversed Names of starlight girls and their other'd selves These are the weapons of our new key strokes. And upon the cortex it reveals this lift anew Where death greeted me to intervene a place Where sound and silence meet, and new strikes Put my hands in halves. Pear-shaped birds pecking At the joints, and where bowl-shaped tones bring Their impeccable limbs to atone with auburn and cerise soils Beneath the high ridges of doom- the empowering backspace Does not exist, only new nothingnesses and their hooves Splashing into each step into the next, and the next, and the next, And the next.

Would that my life carried the pomp and confidence of a bombastic poem an overwrought daytime drama that bad action movie with the guy who’s too cool for this world Would that my rhymed greetings always trumpet a joyful salute blasting awake the tired and sad rendering all introversion moot Would that an invitation for a beer a my place be a more coveted prize than a free trip to space Would that every whipped up snack be a culinary masterpiece gasping in ecstasy my houseguests cling to their seats Would that the very tone of my voice render women to squirm and swoon render babies to giggle and songbirds to croon Would that any awkward silences be scrupulously sifted out cold cut conversations segued from hours to clipped and cleverly crafted banter Would that I’d compose the songs that bring young lovers close that wrench tears from the eyes of those more cynical than most Would that the clip of my canter be the cadence of the soundtrack of enlightenment Would that my goodbyes be an epic flood of emotion my friends and colleagues all so grieved to see me going Would that in life I be bigger than death and in death I be bigger than life. ... But what would all that be would that even be me?

Musing
Her Horse didn’t canter in Canterbury Her braided hair was long and Brown. She galloped uncovered in Coventry so that taxes would drop like her gown. Hot to trot without makeup or Jewelry Hair undone, long tresses hang down. A ****** named Tom was observing her riding through town sans a gown. A woman of substance and Charity- Not given to horsing around.- Her legend comes down from antiquity That’s how seldom those taxes go down.

Lady Godiva
Some say That unicorn free fountains May be the product Of an ancient code Hidden in the runes Of our ribs. Sometimes after Being bitten Letters appear On the gnarled Wood bark of tree, Or the plump Roundness of fruit. Speak on The corners Of your skin As your fingers Blink dark ink. Often At midnight Have you felt The horn Grow In the moonlight As you caper? Whinny and canter   At the quarter Past midnight, And find the trails of your alphabets. A map to a place Where your unconscious fountains May run deep Prance in **** truth Much like stars Skinny dipping In dark Familiar ponds.

Unconscious Fountains
Dante’s dance of death arrives Sparrows take to air And massive nimbo-cumulous Soar to lightnings vivid flare. The final page is almost read Incredulous am I That Lady Luck has touched my soul Allowing me to cry. To watch a scarlet sunset sink Into a sea of green And feel the chill of evening stroke My mortal fascade’s sheen. Cavorting fillies canter In blue nightfall’s velvet pall Whilst the crystal tones of crispness Peal from distant blackbird's call. The magnificence of feeling Permeates my very soul And the factored life impermanence Magnifies the spirit’s hold. A sensate wave of gladness Washes over all I see And the brilliant joy of being Lifts the fear of death from me. Marshalg Victoria Park Tunnel 21 August 2010

Purging Dante's Dance
Come to me great entangler of speech, until the mouth is a thicket of word mash, you who rakes strain out of the day to day visions. Four nights last week you came in the dream-sweeps flying at forty-one thousand feet. Encrusting this crimson suitcase of blood production with aurulent Trojan footstep rumbles in the hundreds of thousands. Are you the new blues guitar, the trill bliss in satirical Dutch painting; you who wrestles the languages of sleep. To get to keep you we'd **** all mystical beasts, sew treason, and wait naked for the dead things to come. Remoteness in the time of the lonely. Where you shed shivers of sharks In wild dance and wicked tantrum, lilting Beside the androgyny of days and Time. You the dashboard Jesus of sin and canter. No scurrying footsteps to barge the heavy moods of ****** or abscess. In half breaths you weaponize yourself, A take of drink and then with the rest of the aves, Swallowed by the colossus of entanglement, Taken beneath the blue awning amidst the company of the sea.

Life During or Time
Now! the damson crush of swallow wing to foal the brays of uwound April, in chattered sleeks of broom gleam hail that agitate these pagan grains. Where bud-nip rusts of Bullfinch creak the gates of prickled secrecy, the platted creed of wren-song yolks the whiting peeks of May. Where an absinthe canter quills a yarn of nether-world calligraphy with missives of anemone to prose the woke terrain, so a gattling shack of magpies prat along the miscreants of bine that heckle servile atrophy in lung sweet roots of anchored sage

These Pagan Grains
don't try be the acorn in the molasses. be the demon in your thimble of hope. be That Guy. save your trophies in your spit. keep breathing, but don't quibble with ice long trinkets and dead sky. trip on your theme and plant facedown, the rally of your kingdom ! you Will Be at some Time, the Unspeakable Lisp of your Acute Prayer at half speed, the true grit of your paralyzed steam... the frozen lightning of your effortless... The True Would, if You Could. but you can't seem to Jimmy the Lock as much as be locked; you canter in the stable Chaos. You dust off the Rotten Preamble too a previous Horror. you come equiped to slip into the trojan noise, you come as often as a candle in the pitch dark without a voice; in shambles.

AT HALF SPEED, THE TRUE GRIT
Knees quake, stagnant faces caressed smearing red, smearing salt across painted dress. Some eyes barren, some eyes gone, stomachs lurched and stomachs drawn. Mountains with their moss play bed to fallen boys, to their wasted lungs powder does still cloy. Rivers play mother’s cool arms washing way the mess of harm. Within in the field are stepping stones of flesh, made colored canvas with wounds still fresh. These boys have died a thousand deaths a thousand different ways sometimes several thousand a day losing each and every choke of air. All morning rebirth is an unlucky fate, for fellow friend’s faces freeze mid-word mid-breath mid-life. Their warm splatter upon your skin, a hole in their head you were yours. And these bullets, these bayonets are bombarded on you, on your boys by your brothers. Who you have loved. Who you have touched. With whom you have sung your song. These boys Are not fighting for cause or crime or love or what heats the mind. You fight. You die. Your bodies are reborn. You bleed for those seeming Caesars for those napping Napoleons who dust powdered sugar off their plump lips and canter over each cobblestone as if it were a country.

hey
How far must our planets splay before they collide once more? The stars in their cruel malevolence mock our decor. The galaxy is of our love, pregnant with envy. Why would you, universe, allow such tapestry? The touch of the rain without reason to blame turns to ice on the shores of my slumber. Like an effigy ruminating disconsolately i lay, Never mind all the tears in the rain of my thunder. My heart does not race yet it beats at a canter It states with impunity, with neither remorse nor regret as it seeks out our unity. Of sonorous design if only it was, it would emancipate me... The real me, of composure's repose, I miss you, i love you... They cannot compare, To this mind they cannot express and shan't even dare Oh! those stars! If i could i would make them stare, I would go the distance and make them care, for i'd make them witness a fusion so rare. What they could not limit, what they could not mimic. For our love, t'would bring our worlds together behold them cataclysmic.

Worlds apart
Spinning in circles Breathing your scent Warmed by your love. You mean everything. Everything. I will love you through anything. Anything. My soul is yours and the canter of our union rises We belong to each other a thousands times over. Forever. You please me, in everything. I love you. We are not the mistakes we’ve made. We are the love we give each other. We are not the problems that we face. We are stronger together.

We are not what we have done.
**Smokey rooms and idle banter, across the fields of my mind still canter girls in short skirts, January to December, the embers flicker and flame as days remembered -D'ya remember?** *Teflon tough guys with hardened looks fast friends by nights end-foundations shook I hook fast to the Past-MAN WE HAD A BLAST! bait my line and cast as the time streams pass* *some cry alas as the nights grow dim, me I'll always have my Total Recall to dip in, conversations reach out to snag my arm, No alarm as I'm mugged in memory lane, just charm* *we were charming rascals with roguish eyes, no fools as the street schooled on us no flies!, So we thought til life taught us harder lessons, as the Mask beneath the Mask reveals transgressions* faithless lovers and fair weather friends, left their mark on our lives as they came to the end, of their briefer tenure amongst REAL mates, at your back in the corner as you faced your fate....
