it's there and then gone
almost like light, flashing me
chasing lightening
blinding me for just moments
beautiful brilliance, blazing
illumination
glowing, bursting, glaring
dreaming in dazzling light

I climbed this high peak
To get above the deep clouds
Heaven still eludes me

their mirrors' broken
as suffocating smoke clears
Satan's Synagogue
our savior warned years ago
greedy money lenders must go

Freedom
Roadless travel to
Nameless places on
Featureless maps
Leaving your troubles
Behind and with
Nothing laying in front

Hollow wind waling
Whispering the butchers bill tally
heard by all who listen

Some say mere luck
Your lucky you got this
That the others did not have
Anything like what I just
Stepped on, picked up and kept
Alive when others never thought
A simple rock could bring so much luck

my Mona Lisa
treasure getting lost in you
such beauty enchants

That place in mind so dark
that bats can see just fine
is where I go to hide
and find that light again
to repeat my tired cycle of
dark to light to feel the pain
to better illustrate all that remains
is no love means no gain

that oak of a tree
stood tall there one hundred years
a lightning bolt crashed

Back deck rocking chair
Vintage beer, lager, I do believe
For a moment, I breath

Fingers like blood roots
Entwines with my guard less heart
beating to her flex

down this rodent raged
another rabbid rabbit crazed
in a mouse's maze
stuck in a no end rat race
hamster wheeling in one place

completely blinded
saw another side of you
eyes left wide open

minds eye
blinded by fluoride
what do they hide

Humpbacks launching while
Arching water with upward flows
a real Vegas strip show

she looks like trouble
dangling hearts on her chain
sweet beautiful pain

Life simply bursts to life overnight
here in the land of the midnight sun
knowing it has no time to waste
as the first frost is never far off

perfect harmony
natures evening rhythm
fire flies dance along

Waving in rhythm
Beauty, enticing me to touch
Reaching,  she flies away

True blue deeper notes
touching echoed chords on strange
twang pulled heart strings

one hundred blue moons
meaningless dreams without you
drifting aimless tides

Ducks nesting, hatch looms
Eagles straighten, fox listen, still
the reaper sharpens

Quiet lonely stroll
I stop to hear the wind blow
Even she has left me

the moose procession
somber like funeral guests
buses stopped in awe

been coming around
faint hints in the air, sweet smells
summer sounds echoed
back from the past, hinting at
lasting memories ahead

shallow skies
grey swirls mystify
deep inside

blind faith
in sight alone
but your heart feels
his love
is real

You took my sight away
the first time my eyes gazed yours
now, my heart leads me on
