GREEN PASTURES
GREEN PASTURES
set me out
among the blades
let me soak in the sun
and bask in the haze
of those early days
jumping fences
chasing better fields
green pastures
weathered and blue
minted in time
faded from wanting
missed by waiting
made pale
by loving
anyone
everyone
you

THE JOYS
THE JOYS
not them joys
blinded by brightness
cracked in the sun
faded with time
or those joys
caught in the throat
springing every step
stopped all tracks
yes these joys
wonderfully complex
magically simple
divinely inspired
and that joy
in the smallest thing
over the next hill
just around the bend
all this joy
quaking the ground
stumbling around
doing stupid things
oh the joys
coming around again

Baseless Claims
Baseless Claims
three months now
no reason to call
all you could
you won’t
too many weeks
spent pushing
pulling boots up
wading through the mess
one last time
wandering around
with all your
baseless claims

NOWHERE ELSE TO GO
NOWHERE ELSE TO GO
heart breaking
dawn waking
time wasting
sunsets chasing
love fading
memory making
Me
You
the difference
between
nowhere else to go
and
nowhere else
I'd rather be

A MOST TOXIC MYTH
A MOST TOXIC MYTH
sunlight
cracked and faded
the smell of youth
gone far away
dreams
how many
forgotten years
pass with a twinkling
silver then gold
made of folly
freedom in the
age of twilight
an American Dream
is a most toxic myth

An Apology
An Apology
for all the pain
and suffering
and violations
and violence
for all the joy
and peace
and calm
and quiet
for all that is needed
and necessary
and deserved
and due
for all that is owed to mothers
and grandmothers
and sisters
and daughters
for all the ways it isn’t
it can’t be
it will never be
it won’t be
enough

Just Wondering
Just Wondering
running from the wind
abandoned to the tide
colliding with time
riding the light
altering space
collecting hearts
curious
desired
falling
obsessed
crucified
not asking
just wondering
for a friend

center of gravity
center of gravity
launched
in strobe light
a million thoughts
hurling through time
a satellite
pushed into orbit
colliding
with the weight
of your memory
sent spinning
topsy turvy
a dizzying blur
taken over
swept under
knocked off my
center of gravity

IN ARIZONA
IN ARIZONA
better days
and dreams ahead
everything you meant
you manifested
or so you said
promises were made
quick then sinking
skortched and blistered
from flying to high
breaking like heat
on desert nights
that we shared
once upon a time

we all depend on someone
we all depend on someone
life is complicated
feelings are more
than just bad dreams
they can be explosions
minor hurricanes
heat waves
or winter’s freeze
needing more
to shelter from
longing to connect
a deepening void
not to slip
here hold my hand
let’s pretend
we all need someone
even if only
at the end

and can you blame him?
and can you blame him?
trapped
in a box
in a box
trying to detox
from the love
and the light
you left behind
half a heart
trapped
suffocating
in full flight
each and every night
and can you blame him
for all he’s done
to be
in your fight

ROMANTIC GESTURES
ROMANTIC GESTURES
Every smile
Every laugh
The way your hand fits in mine
Every walk
Down life’s winding path
Every drink
From your loving cup
Every nibble
On my ear before a kiss
All these romantic gestures
That I miss

with a moon less light
a distant scream calling

The Morning

The deepest fears

There may be chaos
There may be tears
It will all be worth it
In the morning
there will be joy

Sex Life
Sex Life
In the United States today, having a sex life is a revolutionary act.
A Women’s right to make her own health and sex decisions have been stripped.
Transgender and Transsexual existence, Same-Sex intercourse, Interracial marriage are next.
This is a call for a new sexual revolution.
A revolution of sexual rights and protections.
A mandate to protect our right to a fulfilling and joyful life - a Sex Life.

Doesn't Mean I'm Done
Doesn't Mean I'm Done
When does done mean done? You may be gone, but not forgotten. You hide in the cracks of memories. Not quite faded and slipping out of focus. Here today, and another day, and another. Over you, moved on, in the past, long gone, and it still doesn't mean I'm done.
