Upon Fallowed Fields
Love songs cast into the wind
Fall upon fallowed fields
That will never see the rain
Hide in the mudcakes's cracks
Slithering along the edges
Seeking a perfect darkness
Love howls under a full
Forlorn moon of futility
Forever forgiving itself with excuses
Seeking unconditional acceptance
From the corners of suspicious eyes
Love squirms uneasy
In fields of slippery mud
Under bright blue skies
And yellow sunshine

My Tsunami
She stands in the wake of my tsunami
Amidst all my destruction and desolation
She claims she is like no other
As all my seas are receding
Frightened vengeance my hand played
Shattering all perfection's glassine way
She is standing upon my shattered dreams
With reaching arms
There is blood between her toes
If in pain I will never know
Still she stands in the wake of my tsunami
Saying, 'Come it is time to go home.'

Come Follow Me
Come follow me
just to follow me
follow faster into
a following
Do like I do
so you can do
all the doings
that I do
Love like I can
while love can
love like
I can
And kiss like
I kiss with kisses
kissed upon the lips
of others kissed
And cry out tears
inside and outside
as tears flow from
inside to outside

Unicorns
'Where have all the unicorns gone? '
The sun is down
In the off and on rain
'They were here just a memory ago.'
The night is on
In maximun
The stars hiding behind
Blankets of cold clouds
Have nothing to say
'The unicorns never have to pay;
Just go on their way
Grazing by the sea Eternity.'
Inside I am gazing
Into the emptiness of the night
Wondering, 'Where has all the magic gone? '
....away on the backs ot the unicorns.

Freedom
'Freedom' means you're willing
to give up all
'Want to be free? '
then give up your parents
your dog and cat
'Want to taste freedom? '
quit your job
burn your car
'Really free! '
give away your money
and your children
'Keep nothing! no possessions! '
obsessions...
no truths, no lies
no alibies
'Want to be complety free! '
Give up your life
everyone in someway is a slave or

Poetry
Reading poetry is my afternoon tea
It's my crossword puzzle when my time is free
It's my game of football, where I scream and shout
Reading, reading, reading; what's it all about
Nothing think I delights me so
A new poetress has a show
Or when a young poet man
In words takes he a stand
It's good to know, as the world's poets go
Tis strong and has force to show
That moments come, and they pass
Poets rise up, assume their tasks

Sacred Holy Breath
Sacred holy breath
Flows gentle across my chest
Not a sound no air displaced
Not a tear no second guess
Just peace, in my sacred face
Just released love that was put to test
Having hands holding each others fears
Holding hands fate-ing future seers
More than holy we have arrived
Even in this insanity our time abides
sacred Holy, breathe again
Sacred Breath Holy again and again
Flows gentle if this wind
Your love can send

The Toll, A Dollar, And Some Change
By, by, bye,
take another piece of me,
take another,
and another.
Give me change for a dollar
Give me a change of pace
Take my place
Forgive me my sins
When the Devil calls on me
Will you say? 'no, take me.'
Could Jesus put his arm
around my shoulder and say?
'Come with me.'
Could I be sincere

Night Unrequited
November taken
time taken
History in the end
was it's own unmaking
'us...them'
We were, after all, only
very ordinary men
'What we would do? '
night likens unto a blanket
we can pull over our lives
and hide safe and warm
and in the blackness
catch we the waves
of the reflecting pool
that roll and undulate

Wise
My dear friend told me I was wise
That's when I gazed into her eye
Sadden for I know tis come at
Such a cost, at a price
One ounce of wisdom is knowledge
Of mistakes times thrice
I know of love, I failed there too
The joy, elation, the break up ensue
I know of death and what it can do
What it means to me when it comes my due
Of pride and place, be humble without clue
For someday God's eye will be gazing into you
