Two Elemental Poems, reposted.
Moon BeamYou lighten up the road
As the night pedals unfold
like an incandescent rose
All the crease seem to show
the rough edges, they glow
So that I may stay on the road
Moon Beam
you cradle the night
and the road that I drive..
and we all may survive
there is need for you to hide
If the clouds come out tonight.
Moon Beam
where did you go
The clouds come and hang low
although you don’t know
I still see your glow
through the haze it flows
Like the blush of a rose
your light glisten on the road
you still lighten the load.
.
Within every rain drop
is a reflection of the Sea.
through mountain meadow
through rolling river
she finds her way to the Sea
and I wonder if
within the mountain meadows,
within the rolling rivers
If I may also see
the reflection of the sea
I follow her down_

Thoughts on Parade
a bottled zen garden
shaken- not stirred
to russia with love
a toast to the rockets
a boy and his drone
every dog has his day
after the fall out.
thoughts on parade
goose stepping along
wave on the pond
expressing the nature
until the new ice age glaciers.
Your Heart is in Mine
a sentimental bitterness
gives way to passions
our day will come
like the rise of the sun
warming shoulder like petals
as two embrace as one
I wish I could leap forward in time.
I’m ready to move forward with time.
Happy Valentines Day!
Unfinished Architecture no 1
the bedrock of my strength,
the cracks that are my weakness.
The foundation of what may be,
you may already comprehend
better than I.
and that I maybe your clay
As I wish to fill the chasm
between us
will build higher.
we grow closer.
terraces leading winding staircases
learned library dens and
Talkative bedrooms
nights balcony view
across the horizon,
morning room glances
across the table
we build higher
we grow closer.
within thine eyes
shallow breath and
beating breast,
the morning breaks
night comes to rest.
fingers that curled
to catch gentle quakes,
now come together
in peaceful embrace.
within thine eyes I see the future
coals that smolder eternal bliss
upon your smile I wish the smother
thankful gestures upon tender lips.
Beacon (A lighthouse poem)
(reposted as text post)
Meet me at the lighthouse
at a quarter till four
we will drink in the sea breeze,
and keep the ships from the shore.
‘
our whirling beam of light
Shall cut through the night
our winding conversation
shall bind our bodies tight.
‘
your seducing smile and beating breast
lures me through the jagged surf
I’d rather crash upon your rocks
then sail the empty sea of search
,
so I’ll find you at the lighthouse
in your beacon body form
between your light behind your light
we will find us glowing warm.
Hope is a Thing
for lovers_
who hold hands together
cradled like shore lines
there is hope.
_
For brothers_
who till the lands together
handles upon the horizons
there is hope.
_
A foreign sea_
a virgin Land_
an empty pot_
the extremity_
But within warm shelter
of You and Me _
There is always Hope
Allusion to Emile Dickinson’s “Hope is a thing with feathers”
Dark Blossom
Dark blossom, Dark Blossom
unfolding your petals once again
are you reaching for sun?
are you waiting for the rain?
are you leaning for love?
are weathering the pain?
Dark Blossom, Dark Blossom
my eyes open to the light
I see past your shy edges
your true colors inside
be vulnerable and beautiful
may you flower so bright.
tiny pedals around you
shall grow in your light.
Oscillations
we are never one or two
but a singular vibration
synthesis of empathy
oscillating in the night.
a conformation of each others human touch
a confrontation of what’s beyond ones grasp.
the sameness of our human Us,
the difference of You-and-I
and a binding tension between both.
exploding and imploding
we vibrate like waves
Willow-o-wisps
Adrift with the wind
never touching the ground
illuminating the night
If ever we need found
your light is mine
together we are bound
tiny stars of the night
Jewels of a crown.
,
misty moon lit sky
Just you and me
dew drop tear touch
gently dancing on leaves
Gliding gingerly
Just above the trees
phosphorous dance
upon the dark canopy.
Lady of the Night
*
Lady of the Night
let down your hair
unravel your mysteries
betray your guards
.
The stars shall cast light
upon nights movements of two
I’m ensnared in your Orbit
Drawn in your tow
‘
Lady of the Night.
Lay down your sad head
Our secret celestial story
Is yet to be known.
tomorrow will be (valentines day poem)
You keep me grounded
Together we breathe
A better tomorrow
You and I weave
,
and I know that you’ve
been working patiently
and I know that you’ve
been waiting on me.
,
Others won’t know
what you and I see
what we save today is
what tomorrow will be.
As we go for a waltz
Step toe follows toe
Hands warm in embrace
One follows another
at Nature’s rhythmic pace
As Heaven and Earth
Like body and mind
One follows the other
Your hand in mine
If we should stand still
If we took the time
we’d flow as a poem
two couplets in rhyme
Step toe follows toe
two dancing as One
night whirls up to partner
to join in our day’s fun.
begin again
Let me get back to
Where I once belonged
Help me get back to
When I still felt strong
Let me get back to
My Beginner’s Mind
Help me get back to
a fresh new Begin
**
Ordinary people seek out extraordinary lives…
Extraordinary people wish for ordinary lives…
pass by each other
glance… critique… awake:
“Time sure flies, I remember when…”
**
When we marry our dreams together
Breed a brand new one
With one and other
Then we’ll get back to
Looking forward again
Then We’ll get back to
a fresh new Begin.
steeple chase
If only you and I could be
Clouds above the Summer City.
Two ghosts play tag,
Steeple to steeple
High above the unassuming people
,
Laughing thunder
Wink of lightening
Then disappear
Across the horizon
,
If only you and I could be
Clouds above the Summer City
Two hearts at chase
Steeple to Steeple
Ringing bells inside the Cathedrals.

Late Autumn Lovers
Nothing need said, between
The old couple sitting
On a park bench
Aside the clear reservoir
Together
They share their bread crumbs with
The clicking, honking, young geese.
Hear the Night (Night quakes)
Here the night comes through the trees
Hear the night blow through the trees
,
Gently knocking on a window pane
Rustling bedroom curtains
Caressing bedroom linen
,
Tiny little quakes
Dreams invite the night
,
The sun won’t need to know
No one needs to know
‘Till the dawn chases
Night back passed the trees
*
Leap Frog
I’ll hoist you over
my tall shoulders
that you look over
when your a step behind.
,
levitate
reverberate
above the leafy canopy
before gravity
pulls down gingerly
now I’m right behind
,
as I look over
your tall shoulders
you hoist me over
we do it over and over
as two tumble long.
,
tuning fork song
I have a voice
that sings who i am
‘
I have ears
to hear who you are
‘
We have a Song
like hammer and anvil
Alchemists conversation
between two beams
of a tuning fork
‘
I have a voice
that sings who we are
‘
I’m looking for ears
to alchemize our songs.
someone to friend, heaven embrace
Someone to Friend
I want someone
who knows who I am,
I want a friend
who knows where I stand,
who can speak to me,
like no one else can,
and they’ll know that
I’m always their best fan
‘
when I’m frustrating slow
with my head in the sand
they’ll remember that I’m
trying to be a good man
And Some times I need
pulled out by the hand
`
I want someone
who will understand
how much that I
Appreciate when
they take time
to learn who i am
and I’ll take a stand
be their best fan
be their best friend.
Someone to friend

Rainstorm odors
Best read with someone blowing into a jug
Rainstorm odors
All the senses take over
All my troubles
that consume
are washed away
In the damp perfumes
Of the impending down pour
,
Storm blows through
And the sun is peeking through
the sun warms the dew
and I’m thinking of you
I need the new perfume
All the senses take over
And be right over
heading for your stormy ways.
Moon Beam
You lighten up the road
As the night pedals unfold
like an incandescent rose
All the crease seem to show
the rough edges, they glow
So that I may stay on the road
Moon Beam
you cradle the night
and the road that I drive..
and we all may survive
there is need for you to hide
If the clouds come out tonight.
Moon Beamwhere did you go
The clouds come and hang low
although you don’t know
I still see your glow
through the haze it flows
Like the blush of a rose
your light glisten on the road
you still lighten the load.
Living Beauty
.
Neither smile, nor glance, nor hips
neither touch, nor gesture, nor whisper
can give a description fully,
other then they are hers
No mathematics can summate,
no science can find the root of effect
It is only SHE in the living instant
And the exhilaration she generates within me.
