Montana Road
I see the mountains in the distance
This Montana road feels so quiet
Sunset brings ghosts
Chill of the past puts a tear in my eye
Fall stars so clear and bright tonight
Images of soldiers and helicopters
Long hairs and protest
We kissed amidst the turbulence
Lots of drugs and booze
We both lost friends in that era
Hendrix, Joplin and Morrison gone
Lately Vietnam haunts me
I put on some Buffalo Springfield
“A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs”
We were young and hungry
Man! am I glad I went thru the 60’s
This Montana road seems to go forever

Shall We Dance
We dance like jazz songbirds
I pick you up when your joy flows
Out of the sea deeper than what we see
Languages of the eternal skies
I feel you beyond these safe rooms
We banter like stars on a clear night
Up my spine a message
My spirit like an angel
Your barefoot morning dance
She has time and a cup of hot coffee
We have never met but we dance
Where shall the path lead by the window?
Another poem has ruby wings
Another lesson from loves bounty
Now eat your broccoli and get some sun
Remember fish is good for you
And green leafy vegetables are winners
Shall we dance my dear?

Out the Window
The dark rain falls
Some say it is a sanctuary
Some fear the deep caverns
Fog in the morning jungle
Soldiers tremble
Sorrow like a green alien
She is sweet but dangerous
She writes poetry sitting on my lap
Soldier on a burning pyre
A child with a helmet
Darkness between the eternal stars
Darkness like a clown crying
Darkness in Van Gogh’s ravens
We sit on the circle of the moon
Cubicles as lonely as a cage
Creative like a red sunset
Torn from the land the buffalo gone
The world a pawn
We write by windows of life

Flower Children
They come in colors, young, seeking
Music sails like new ships of hope
Energy full of blue naive free dreams
Imagination filled with the unfenced
Let the sea speak of stars and beauty
Laid back like new rainbows
Percales temples with no walls
Pure forests in winds of eternity
Taste the waters of olive breezes
Effusive springs break the ground
Radiant children have a vision
Bright clouds on the brave mountains
The dawn will always shine
Beads, feathers, tribes and vibrations
Wings of joy in every breath
Turquoise innocents in the tall grass
Children of love watering the flowers

Hunted
Sacred history like ice castles melt
Myth balloons fly decorated with smiles
Mary stood at the cross crushed
Parents die, divorce, children die
Money stolen by banks, unions busted
Our good little world crashes
Let the rich run for their gated communities
Let the robbers by law hide in mansions
Your game is crumbling
Take the number of the beast
Make your deals with pride
Call your robbery freedom
The imperialists, the colonialist
The killers of the natives
The slave owners
The robbers of land
You liars of in Money We Trust
Your debt to the devil is ending

When We Awake
Have you stolen the open fields?
Taken the visions of the cypress
Tamed every wild wind
I must look to the future again
When the cycle replenishes dreams
Reality is everything restored
My smile is filled with stars
You can take nothing from me
The dove with an olive branch
Caravan amidst the angels
Placid waters of the mandala
Oracle of the vibrant sun
Fortune of the eternal doors
Disdain is not forever
Things above are radiant
Sit on the quilt of nirvana
Things of time seek mediocrity
Be calm under the banyan tree
We part in the veil of perception

Creatures Of The Night
Sigh like her long legs reaching for the river
Longing to know righteousness
Longing for jewels of the deep sleep
Taken from the side of morning
Taken from earth filled with stars
Deer walk to the fields
The moon rises with grace
Geese in the shadows of spring
Your fingernails are red like fire
Your voice like the call of fire
The bass plays like a mantra
Guitars born in the sun
The moon out my window
Let the drums be an army
Let the night flow like a lover
She makes my teeth chatter
Her sweetness like a wet forest
Everything bathed in moonlight

American Style
Violet trees waiting for jazz
Count Basie shelters the urban rose
Dreams rest like the wind making love
Sweet serotonin in pagoda gowns
When you whisper I get hard
Kenny Burrell marvelous like stars
Moves like a good drummer
Darling your hands make music
Billie Holiday never played with dolls
I write your name on abstract jungles
Cities where Duke Ellington played
Stand up Bass talks like Chicago
Scales from India and Africa
Chromatic silk blue as New Orleans
Blue Note
Existential sax
Golden trumpet, Miles in France
There are no mistakes
Democracy on a piano
American Style and Gumbo

Wild Heart
Melody like whispering rivers
She supports her son amidst wolves
Her smile like a jungle angel
Tender as a mother
Survival is a wise lion
Vicious like a cold wind
Tactful as an antique lamp
The gate is narrow and true
Traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge
Tonight all the takers talk and wait
She has heard it all a million times
She tells them all their fortunes
She hunts like a fallen angel
I tell her, baby, I’m real
She says yeah, prove it
She takes the subway to the Bronx
Finding hearts amidst these neon fields
Eve has left the garden long ago
Search your soul for love is a wild heart

The Future
Quiet gold locks of butter fields
I walk on velvet praise
Your mind has portals
Groves of earnest tears
Do you peak at the fall sorrow
Blue birds have joined my secrets
Hope is a fragile wing
Parables like leaves of red skies
Beauty is free yet sublime
References are gone
We are on our own
Love is a master of disguise
Every forest has love
Today love touched me
Darling you are a hurt river
Flowing like a wound
I know because secrets fly
They gracefully land on trees
