lace sailed explorers A high mast with lace sails Silken fingers of winter gales vastness to never be charted Way back to where it started Started on a voyage from here to there Back to wondering how long youll fair   inside you but never in your face Incapable of finding your place The beauty of being blinding shadows there for the finding A horizon of immeasurable danger Future looks back like a stranger   Mangled up past, of shield and sword Remembering pleasure, oh the reward Forgetting your path thought to be odd Whispering song from the lips of god Ignore your intuition, logic doesnt belong Caution in the wind which sings your song   That glimpse into what you call out to dreams making you rise without a clue constellations above are  a tangle Knots of yarn, distance and angle Reeling, you grasp for what was lost Water and weight leaving you tossed   Struggle all you want because you must Rising sails wanting to enslave every gust whim of progression holding you bound Every thing that was lost must be found needs ignore evolution Reverting to a solution   To not bend to the will of surrounding Thus has been the path, the drowning Sinking, seeing the lights hem On the other hand ceasing them A wicked silver thread breaks through The Mastering of chaos that finds you A wicker maze leading you by the bit     Bite down and mold to where you fit settle into a thrown where you sit Awakening to your own voice The sleeper still has a choice The remembrance of your constant growth Why on your deathbed is there an oath   as sure as the water line is rising your buoyancy seems so surprising swallow what is and sprout from the dead written and read has been done and said everything has been done, why fight it find comfort in growth from where you sit that is your ego you probably think this poem I about you. It cant be, its mine mine mine

buried gold

Romance is not dead its just buried deep

A thickened hide covers the sore spot

Callused hearts are unbreakable locks

Where did you get that key you wear?

How long has it hung on your neck

A guilty conscience is my copilot

Navigated by my pure bewilderment

When you whisper it sure to find me

Humming birds planting thoughts

Youll know where to find me

If I wander you will seek me out

Direction loses meaning, Im here

Im a fruit thats yours to peel away

Scared children under my hearts bed

I know youve been standing there

Watching through old cracked doors

Speed reading the book of my life

Scanning my old broken sidewalk

Weeds of insecurity on the rise

Your attentive eyes fuel their growth

Panic like a rising tide washing me

Youre the moon shifting the seas

Driving a cold wind against me

Mother Nature held in your breast

A summer rain now a spring sun

I fall through the seasons tonight

Sleeping moments like waking years

Past folly so distant in my heart

All is foreign and forever forgotten

Bondage is broken, soul soaring

Shedding all fear of the future

Peal away the pain of the present

The future finding fond feeling

Basking in your gaze Im reborn

Piercing eyes finish the story

An opening door to happiness

Light flooding in behind you

Seeing you I remember myself

Security surrounds your silhouette

Clinging to you to remember me

dream boat

Dreaming of being awake again

Light shines through, giving hope

The shadows are shrinking away

I'm wishing for winds of change

I'm willing them, tired of waiting

Oceanic eyes reflecting in yours

Waves of oblivion move me

Waiting for the first sign of shore

Change comes fast in retrospect

Eliciting change is the anchor

Letting go always strikes a chord

Thinking about not thinking

Roller coasters loop in reverse

I just remembered I'm asleep

Sagittarian pirates of the Caribbean Unite

trolls

trolls

Broken backed bridges

Concave enclaves exist

Humble homes of half human gnomes

Lost children circling in their final phase

Conclusions no one wants to believe

Star gazers collide

sweet morning

sweet morning

Lights limited vision stretches out and yawns

Swirling mist cloaks a murky arrival

Light fights it's with it morning blankets

Trying to shake the sand from its seams

Cold shoulders catch your warm words

Thawing your milky secrets away

Washing away fragmented fears

Shattered dreams melt into black

Born from shadows are webs of hope

Lanky well wishes extend around you

Feels like home, senses relieved

Perceptions weight's lifts away

Clouds clear and release the skyline

Reborn each morning again and again

New to the view of blossoming dawn.

reflection

reflection Have you ever taken a long look inward? A lingering gaze transcending your physical Pondering reflection sets up shop What is it only you see? Are you broken and bruised Passively satisfied at what you don't see. Content to gaze briefly beyond shadows How do you spell failure? Echoing the past's downward gusts Every weight piled on your back Sneak away from it all and sigh Fake a giggle and a darting glance Shadows evaporate into memories Help fill me up again, I'm empty I'm ready for it to be just right At last with no escape route No premeditated retreat Maybe even rising to the occasion Elevating through internal evolution Personal progressions formerly faked You're not cool with one and a half pants Have you ever just stared off at night? Not wondering about any one thing Trying to digest it all at once That solitude of post meditation Not focusing on focusing on not focusing Righteousness doesn't pay I wish it did We both know More of a feeling then a fact Strapping ourselves in for the ride Flirting with disaster gladly This is close enough Just keep sharing with me Mean what you say Just be you and let me watch Here's a little something I jotted down Incase I spotted you around Sad fingers weep out words Dangerous dreams I'm avoiding All I want is your trust Your sweet faith …. I think I have it Already Some people never get there Once long ago I was so there So sure So what! It died out from under me As much my fault as anyone Find the best in your worst Can faults be a virtue? Mistakes for all the right reasons Good intensions birth nightmares Awkward moments of insecurity You're so unhappy and angry Be civil. Can I have a minute to explain? I live for the moment mostly Consumed by excess I like get wasted I'm not running away I'm running toward always even keeled trying to letting go Just for tonight, forgetting my future.

private curtain

private curtain

I had a dream about it last night
No one was around and I was going crazy
It never feels this good awake
Awake I'm always anxious to let loose
I could walk all night doing it
To think of the places it takes me is weird
Meeting people who love it like I do
Consumed by the drive to do more
When I can't sleep late at night it's the cure
Even a quick fix in daily life is nice
Planning out my next chance to do it
Even empty handed its constantly there
I love seeing it in the middle of the day
Loving to learn about people who love it



I didn't wake up without you
Basking in your grin I returned to sleep
Picturing spilled coffee finding your feet
Your excited eyes sparking to life
Remembering the rise your laugh loosens
Forged by your hands strong and true
Give me my fucking arm back
Running away is far from my mind
Pushing off and just drifting is not in the cards
You're a comfortable pillow, a place I can rest
Forest filled eyes of deep greens and brown
Our moon lit paths wind up and down
Forget not to whisper our names in the dark
Collect all the flowers before we embark
Retaining reluctance while frolicking free
I need your soft ear to hear my night calls
Alone in the ocean, lost in my thoughts
Self induced sensory deprivation.
I Lowered a curtain, me and my mind
Together at last.

broken flowers

Wrinkles in folds of time
Piles of dust collected for you
Looking to the wings for wise words
Mindful ways of broken wills
You're looking to the next car
The next man you hate
His grin makes you sick
Wicked ways money makes
Collecting sin like stamps
Five dollars never hurt so badly
Scars just proved you healed
Proudly low and ousted
Thrown out like human waste
Ending up under years of soil
Spoiled by society, so it would seem
Mangled and warped left to rust
Seeing sights, mountains don't know
Riddles of personal deviation
A step away from oblivion
The Falsely Fragrant future
Lingering in family vehicles
Local heroes digging your dirt
City workers waving you down
Day starting encounters encouraged
Not disputed by reason and moral
Defy public opinion and just take
Harvest wanted wills and souls
Never remembering basic rights
Reasonable treatment of life
Dearness of early dreariness
Expectations fly out open windows
The lost grasp on will's willingness

for the gods and the erff

The valley-populated by listless commerce, Civilization guided by plastic people at the helm Masts bending to the demands of the helpless Why don't you want me to look out the window? Vision blurring the exclude details of surroundings The astounding, grandeur we are accustom to ignoring Demeter's, the all mother, our cradle of self-undoing We've forgotten her round face and nurturing smile Hermes is gods messenger of markets and commerce The tributes paid daily are tithe to his ministry It all started changing once he led me there Hours mounted in the mountain's challenges With his help I found paths paved with stone Those paved with possibility of newfound faith Clear as the sky looming so largely overhead Confronted with an explanation for all my questions. The answer in the form of a fluid framework Its folds, a broad possibility of paths to understanding. first impressions always important with Janus the god of good beginnings and thus good endings breaking free of titan's shackles, up Olympus' root Equipped with a focused guide and skepticism I had never pictured my personal pilgrimage A mountain of questions lay out in front of me Not interested in available answers often offered There are many paths up a mountain, here mine An action that's still perfect while an idea warps My minds playing tricks on me so I turn it off again There must be and offering from my body now Water always finds a path to its destination The naiads, nymphs or creeks and brooks Giggling as walk to my river's dry edge Crashing chaos the water wields willingly Wildly it splashes me while I stop to drink Naiads of water that only sleep in winter They nurture me on the most basic level All that inspires my journey born from you Only if my path is as sure as your winding way Your cold blue eyelashes tickle the shore Churn for me in your cold black depths The tall dark forest rise into the sky Shaded slopes rise steep, guiding me Light dances gaily, forward then back Games with the wind, from light to black Standing with the earths strong arms Open spaces with high hanging ceilings Beyond the grandeur of man's cold chapels Age old testaments to man's minute meaning My guides pace hastens and I feel efforts honesty The fledgling forest, orange in a setting sun Twinkle on sweet night, the brink of night's birth The brink of change and evolution every where Fauna beginning a long-lived journey Baring witness to mans fickle pace My guide and I watch the sun die Trees shadows grow, inflating I'm sure I'm told it's over an hour to our newest home Some shelter under bending branches Evaded again, eternities cool eyes shine Reflecting our solitude. Revolving the day Direction and distance revise in my mind No longer mystic magic. A number to crunch I still hear the oak leaves, they tease me The stars hang like a lace crown Ariadne a goddess placed in the stars. Extending your welcome to dewy youth Oh how the moon's heavy breath moves Her sighs are forever and yet broken Reminding me of your warm arms Shadows take on lives of their own Dancing fires make the spirit of smoke Artemis hold still my dewy leaves of youth You expose me to night's revolution Diamonds for stars, black silk for the sky Pan's treasured forest nymph absently sways Sleeping and walking, she dreams through the days Movement surrounds you concluding your stay East mountains, orange fountains, rise like the tide How in love I was in this open emerald Like an unfolding sky mapping possibility Born of cast off seed and the ocean's foam Unmatched but any mortal forms beauty Beyond understanding or attainability Spawn of the breath of a western wind Vanquishing clouds and sewing magic Floral fragrance explodes unbridled A medley of nymph's woven splendor Blades of grace dance with neon flowers Wind fueling their festival sporadically Limoniads pull the strings from silk veils Love swells beyond my heart to my eyes Flooded by feeling of foiled longing Rose water tears nurture my feature Reborn into my own brief baptism Mountain goats dotting the steep sloped shapes Daunting shards of the earth compressed plates Like gaping mouths screaming to the sky above Silence in such a dramatic underworld opening Passages to the home of the land of the dead Hades gold helmet hides him from mere mortals Cold stone caves hold earth bound treasures I feel his shadowed eyes follow my footsteps My guide warns of the gravity of curiosity Temptations sloped labyrinth distraction calls Hades' embrace is not yet meant to be held Upward is my ambition, not to be mislead Discovery is unfolding as I push ahead The stern rock face rises above tired spirits Our most daunting face punishes a wandering eye She demands complete focus in trying times Her wrath is cold and unforgiving as walls steep Wedged in her bosom I failed to waiver at all All my attention fixed on her and only her. Infidelity means the sure death to all involved Herra in this moment you are my one and only mind and body of mine and my guides are yours allow me my pilgrimage as it nears a holy land Seeing the summit as my obvious intended outcome My straining assent eases, as you will me past Tired legs tread this traitorous narrow victory Doors open to a height literal and metaphorical My environment induces ideological evolution Natures astounding grandeur overwhelms m Surveying a mirrored mass of infidelity Endless cliffs dive into elevations excess Like his regal birds marauding overview Unfolding teal blue electric lakes exist Our pinnacles nemesis is the heart of darkness Holding ourselves high, drownding in light Monumental glaciers, earth's slow evolution Unyielding crowns gleam time's triumphs Lightning cutting to the heart of my truth That flash of reality extending onto my being Humbled by the grandeur of nature's scope The slightest glimpses into the eyes of creation A moment of condensed majesty manifested God was there with us, a real tangible god Confronted with an illustration of my spiritually All would hang from it if bound from here Here on this peak all is calm and so clear I spread out my arms, freed from bondage The valley floor nothing but a memory now Dark green forests rise around it's broad base Emerald green fields greet fading forests Washed rock shores hold Teal blue lakes The glaciers cold fingers creeping onward Surrounded by endless mountains and sky The church of the earth infinitely before of me

thank you me

thank you....me i went out walking again above the city lights and tunnels below crowned by lost creatures as the same impossible birds on lost paths to the sea swallow the silken cloud trailing off wilting design, a delicate mind fire off your flares and sound your alarms out on the water its just you its nice to feel alone if you know how to fold it an impossible feather in your hair colors you taste when you see them i'm not alone, i've all this my senses come along keeping me company on this long trip i love it when the lights go out out walking alone sharing with myself thank you me

under the skies

tonight we slept by a river
under the low flying cloud
nights cold making us shiver
lost in sounds crashing aloud

sounds of the ocean
feeling close and clear
repeating its motion
mountains felt so near

felt the peaks and the valleys
natures trickling fountains
away from streets and the alleys
we spoon with the mountains

clouds open up and share
waking to the sound of rain
rain soaked, feet to hair
wishing i could find the drain

tired under our tent
we made a retreat
lost where we went
drying our feet

relief from our tired whoas
a stones throw from relief
released from our wet cloths
our escape from disbelief

a brief break from adversity
warm water and soft beds
revisiting our escaped city
clean with our resting heads

we found the perfect day
we found the perfect town
remembering how to play
rising from being low down

a new day's bright sky
we have bloomed anew
no need to try to try
open sky of bright blue

magic rocks and little fish
a loud moons bold birth
finding our smiles my wish
lets live for all its worth
