Words of the Ancient Future
Plumes of purple glowing words
On my wall on my aqua soul
Escaping the grief wars
Sailing the constraints of time
Poised with arrows of premonition
Released in pools of prophecy
Unconscious wine of mystic energy
Great craters in the mountain rain
Islands lush with forests of crystal
Rest in the radiant rivers
Graze like emerald seagulls
Flames along the coast
Words sigh in the tide
Soul words of the ghost world
She loves me with words
Walls with vines of summer words
Fractals of dawns rising king
Banyan Buddha
Rivalry of knowledge reduced

Time Runs Out
Spill the paint over a circus clock
Time is set
Pulse and waves in slanted disdain
Paradise broken
Spanish tears opaque museum
Live the will of a new door
Painter and poets crushed incants
Arrange the stars that cry
Mortality amidst your dream caves
No hands folded
No pious genuflection
Stations of art
Birth just a shadow
Bold libido with golden wings
Circles where writers gather
Tombs garnished by Dali
Fauves red blue angst
Eaten by wild beasts
Cezanne soars in the Louvre

Murder
No poet warrior rests in opium silk
Dreams must subside in narrow arrows
Tribes will survive
You are filled with war like sanity
The civilized war of companions split
Island of Ezra Pound
Pulled by the tides of moon mutiny
It all becomes one theater
One story
You are a silk oasis
You are Judas in a dress
You are the battlegrounds
We are the confused tower
Our language is the jungle
Diamonds on snouts
Tallons waiting to rip
Classified behind registered orders
Anthills
Revel in the stars
Sophistry in gossamer angst

Wings of Flow
Highlands like angels with octaves
Species of moon tribes glow
Tremolo faces smile like rainbows
Rewarded for the cascades
Seminal forests rain their new seed
We are children without pain
She kisses me with true endings
The moment burns without time
Huxley, Blake
Welcome purple fire
Organic waves of lush life
Soul angels
Shorelines stretch the horizon
Blue tides
Jazz sea where blues drown
Keyboards of semitones
No sedition
Reverberate your celibate energy

Chosen People
Resolute beauty guards the gates
Stairways leading thru the desert
Children searching for their fate
Finding gardens past all the hurt
Everything ends and begins again
Time once an enemy now a friend
Rogue armies march for the sea
Let my people go riles the nations
Ships of light sail for bright eternity
We are called from station too station
Rise in the night with candles lit
Many refuse to leave decadent Egypt
Hope is a home away from home
Tired wings find rest in the cross
Heavy laden in heart and soul
Rest is Gods peace amidst loss
The meek seek each others hand
Today we walk for the Promised Land

A Woman's Heart
Chivalry guards her axis eyes
Vanguards of the old forest
Tired angels rest at the well
Out of the sea islands play
She lights the torches of myth
Seers parade the parables of sky
Hungry hearts hear harps laugh
Cryptic romance arrives by carriage
Flowers grow in medieval gardens
Lavender dances amidst the clover
Serene rivers glow in soft moonlight
Light the candles of joy from the stars
The sea flows with a new rapture
Red roses live like passion breathing
The birds sound like paradise renewed
She casts a spell with every glance

Meditations by a Fire
Deep in the forest they bury the forgotten
Victims of Stalin, the CIA, national guards
Ghosts, shallow graves, all nations corrupt
Tonight the moon rises over the tall pines
The breeze swirls like ocean tides
Loons in the distant lakes cry
Political will dissipates into apathy
I wonder how much good can be achieved
These days make me go inward
The fire burns ancient with true wisdom
logs crackle burning and turning to hot coals
I can't change the world but I can do my part
Insanity seems to rule the world
Greedy men, technologies of destruction
My kingdom is not of this world the Lord said

Winter Rose
Can words break through steel midnight
Protected in thorns of moonlight
Satin trance, the wet dew of paradise
Radiate wisdom by sands of the sea
Palm tree dreams without immortality
Something new, golden, enchanting
Rivers of madness flow like blood
Aloof pleasure decadent and strange
Lovers need mystic lavender oceans
Sail the awkward dimension of art
Narrow channels where islands hide
Romance is a vision of world peace
Nothing touches the eternal well
She dances on images of the tragic
Victorian mansions without dawn

Okinawa
Armada sails
Island after island
Battalions land
Ominous silence
Jungles become fierce roaring lions
Machine gun nests
Relentless enemy with no surrender
Casualties, the maimed and dying
Rain, mud, the dead unburied
Torture, dehumanization, madness
Corpses defiled
Attack after attack
Night becomes a morbid nightmare
Shadows, ghosts, artillery fire
The rocks splattered with blood
Strategic hills, hidden caves
Caves where fear shivers
They fight and wait for the emperor
Huddled in the cold darkness
Foreign voice echoes off the rocks

Vicarious Living
Fine line between universals and individuality
A path that is your own amidst solid ground
Narrow gate where life passes thru truth
Existential authenticity amidst eternal pillars
We are all hidden in dreams
Sired in caves of self myth
The white light holds us along the steep paths
Pariahs of beauty
Rock music almost breaks up
Give me something with edge
The blue sky is back
Some are ravaged by incest, divorce and pain
Sanity becomes a broad definition
Some fight for every sweet meadow
Some lie and say they only see flowers
Precipitous love sifts me like fine flour
Are you satisfied with living vicariously?
