All Those Kisses

We have drifted apart
Space like Spanish deserts
Time thrown into the ice of Mars
Who am I without you?
Have you found your voice?

Am I fixated?
I think not
We covered a classic era together
Every song was ours
All those roads

All those kisses

Undeclared War

Face blown away
No more parades
No more hoorays
In a hospital for months
The frontline is over
Time to think away from the bull
Why did I go in?
The poet warrior crap
Heroes
Now I see a politician’s war

He whispers in pain
My brother
Don’t join

Forever High

Beauty as sacred as blue heron
Heavy elements
Stars of ancient angels
Stoned like a spring volcano
Your magic covers me

Let the winds of Hendrix blow
Cries of the sweet blues
Fire from the Doors
I am old but I am forever young
I am a child of the sixties

I See the Cross

Slowly awake like a soft spring
Your love nudges
I see the ruins of heresy
I see intellectualism fails
I see secular politics a dead end
The world is a noose
The culture unredeemable
I recite the serenity prayer
Fall asleep with 'Our Father..

I see the Cross

Perfection

Only for awhile
Night is a broken vampire
A light without love
Direction a thousand roads
Delivered into hands of the wind
Purpose has redeemed someone else
The crowd is my friend
Others have joined little cults
Cult families
Cult jobs
Perfection rips my mind

The Rain

The nervous light like a portent
I seek the sea
I seek the balm of green grass
Everything seems designed with obscure signs
Nothing but thick fog
Have you experienced gray
Love is a maze
Sometimes the light is very strange
Sometimes the light shines in the rain

Friends With Libido

Those little smiles
That gleam in your eye
Risqué innuendo
We like each other but your married
We’re not having an affair
We’re not sinning
We’re not going to act on it
In fact we won’t even bring it up
But we both know it is there
I guess we’re just human

Hope Has Flowers

The maple tree is growing
You are a true dream
You light my soul
Today is bright and real
Parts are working
Attitude is flow

Love is everything
Fresh air
Rain
Moonlight
Clouds and sublime sun

Way inside joy is a real fountain
The simple things shine
Hope has flowers

Her Bed Is An Oasis

Sate beaches of dawn
Her brass bed wet
Elegant words like aqua roses

Poetry the true seed of lovers
Come back to me with legs open
I need to hear your silk

She has left me for the crowd
Gossip like ropes of mediocrity
Sometimes it takes guts to cum

Her bed is an oasis

He Died in Iraq

They went through a divorce
Had a baby at twenty
Raised him the best she could
She buried her only son
He was also twenty
She never wanted him to go in
She wails
She doesn't sleep
She lives in a nightmare
Say a prayer for a mother
She will never be the same
He died in Iraq
