Still looking for perfect
Can’t find joy, no one worthy
That trail you walk, alone

Sliding on water riding as
Earth beats in motion gliding
Guiding bodies in glistening oceans
In emerald green dreams and
wild eyed notions

lights to recall you
solemn flames dancing on whispers
scenes of you, linger
fires flicker as angels dance
candles lit in remembrance

eyes are open
yet vision evades
minds blinded
refusing to see
hands that cover

My merry go round,
rollercoaster, titl-a-whirl
wild rides can’t describe
you, me riding along in
helmet, **** strap, shoulder pads

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

choosing to take this walk
through featureless woods

smelling the crisp
freeze your hair
February air

fresh snow a foot deep
no tracks to follow
making fresh ones

going slow
along buried paths
instinct guiding

reaching a ringed meadow
covered in crystal laced night

shooting stars raced
from one tree to another
my eyes racing to catch up
my mind chasing along

when northerly winds lashed
covering my carefully laid tracks
as if I was never there at all

there I stood naked
trembling from
that simple truth

Spring snow skiing ride
Bonus sliding on April tidings
With winters last bindings

Distant lands arrive
On the backs of sand hill cranes
A strange world perhaps?

Spring life
Summer songs
Fall art
Winter winds
Just words tied to a season
to emit a feeling
These are all around  all the time
Waiting for the word engineer to pick'em
Accordingly to his feelings in his heart
Poetry a truly magical art

Words flow from poets
As bars from a pickers guitar
‘Ol ******* fingers
weaving musical stories
Like poets word harmonies

writing and wandering
don't recall the steps just taken
or even these words, just written

Cool crisp early air
Heat flickers safety inside
My worn easy chair

Hasn't worn them in years
Since she lived here, my all star
Her low cut Chuck Taylors

Lamenting times gone
as your wasted days roll on
todays already done

We are the sowers of seeds
These little buds we choose to share
Need careful thought, love, and care
Not meant to be just strewn about to dry
Someone’s life lessons splayed out to just die
So whoever plants these in hopes of growth
have already done so, go forth and sow

I read you like a letter

I read you like four letters together

It's a novella, not just four letters
I love you!!!

Which letters do you see in me?

Sins aren’t inherited
Sins die with the sinners
My father was, as is I
I pray my kids
See how sad it is
That mortal men
Tie my ancestors yokes
To my neck to bare
I have no chance now
I’m just a heathan
Ask the high and mighty
The ones on the hill
The ones in their high walled
Cathedral. Branding me all
Kinds of unspeakables
But I am here to say
That’s not my yoke
I have my own but
Thanks anyway

Black, white poetry
No bright colors no light cues
worlds lost without hues
Every rainbow brush
Knows the colors to paint you

I don't like those thoughts
not mine to love, memories
of you before me

felt, just like a breeze
from the far ends of this world
I can feel your soul

I LOVE YOU, you'd say
in the sand, by hand, with care
that spot, every day

You **** me so thoroughly
I can’t even bare the idea of
Living without you killing me again

It’s a warriors heart
Bloodied, battered, and  bruised,
Branded, banded, and barred
But beating always beating

before this is gone
loving that one final time
in a warm embrace
a simple goodbye won 't do
whisper, caio babe, in a kiss

And boom, hope, drops in
Just in the nicest time, more opportune
Reminds me, hopes contagious

Imagine,  if you will,
for a small split second,
my own despair
in watching your
own heartache coming
and patiently waiting
on it’s evident but
easily predictable
crashing of your
perfect little world,
helplessly watching

He signals you well
In hints of fireweed scents
snuck on mountain bound wings
making a out of the way trip
to let me know he has you

Young hunger yearning
New growth burns it's winter suit
With a bang, I awake
