"once in a great while" may, 2005
 
once in a great while the clouds split 
wide open 
allowing the sun to shine through
the haze disappears from the horizon
the rain is held tightly
in the moisture fields high above
even where eagles dare to fly
a mellow golden cream sun
warms the souls of those who wait
just to have known...just to have witnessed
and laughed...shared..talked...listened
it seemed as though the moon smiled
as the gestures of friendship started to build
what a beautiful magnificent feeling to have..
"once in a great while"

 


"layers from many thoughts" 2005-2006
 
"hearts get broken, so do; eggs, dreams, bones and dishes".  
i have walked with you in the silent coal black night, 
and flew where eagles dare to touch the very soul of you, i have; 
and yet to touch like that again, i would give anything, 
and higher i would fly as never before, i sincerely would.
magnificent places i took you in the pyramids of my dreams, 
if ever i were of you the mountains of my dreams you would be,
passions of my heart/soul half bathed in tears, once dressed in smiles;
the fountain by my side, the blood of my body drips moist; 
from after the rainbow haze.
in a world of shadows, i lay with you in a bed of dreams;
smothered clouds with all the intoxication of you,i most certainly am.
sun light about the garden of paradise i entered, 
and lay about you in a land of dreams; and entered again i did,
caressed in the all of you.
frozen landscapes in a snow dazed memory surrounded in silence, 
i was, and again taken by the rain and thunder of you i was..i am

a smile at daybreak came upon my face, your lips touched mine and we did embrace, 
a lit room no gloom and love made its way caresses  sweet the smell of you upon where we lay,
and the beginning it was a new day, most of the past took another course 
as we held each other stronger beyond all remorse, it was warmer than warm; 
your moon was my sun, i lay with you silently as if the whole world just begun, 
touches gentle smooth bodies tangled from ooze to ooze, kissing the depths of you and you of me, 
we slipped away this beginning of a new day; my love tender be all that you are and stay...
if ever i were of you the mountains of my dreams you would be...even in the shadows of it..i still did,
once again the light generates a new hue;day break has begun unfolding, 
away the coal black night, filtering shadows vast, illuminating the all of them, it was the filtering, 
cultivating;the imperfection of my innocence that surrender-yielded-spawned.. .
allowing me; to see; once more; again


 

"there are times more than not"--"innocence" nov. 20, 2005
 
there are times more than not
you cross the fathoms of my mind
when you are cold, when you are tired
and when you speak to me
in that quiet soft voice
when in your bed of dreams
when we say good night
when you smile as you laugh 
as we joke and play
it is of your innocence
that i have caressed and touched
deep from with in and about you
there is no evil in your body
for you are gentle and soft
for that is your way---now
and for that more than not
you bring me peace
even when i am not there

"it is of a time"  2005--2006
 
it is of a time, a place ,a moment 
in space in the universe that we now cross paths, 
and strangers we are to one another and yet 
we have met in our dreams, desires, passions 
and now come to this place..a place of where, 
of how and now why. 
one wants to breathe ,hold the windows wide open 
and feel the moist grass beneath ones feet..
to hold, caress, adore, kiss, touch, emote, dream, 
feel the eyes of the souls touch deep 
from the fathomless desiring self...
and be the all of the all to every part of our beings...
and yes strangers we are to one another 
and embrace that fact that we are virgins...
and new and unspoiled unto one another..
and yes..the beating of , from with in goes on ;
in the hope that romanticism does and always 
will exist...at least somewhere in this world 
that is most definitely 
pregnant in mediocrity.



 

it is quiet in my studio/house tonight
today I lost "my best girl"
it is so very quiet in my house tonight
for we wrestled, barked at each other
ate together, you witnessed all my emotions
and secrets
and now again it is so very deafeningly quiet
in this studio/house of mine
my friend, my protector, my magnificent
beautiful fuzzy ball of joy
and now I say good night and be on your way
my lady-bug dog...for you made my life rich
and full of grace
and now again---it is so quiet in my (our) studio/house tonight
how could I ever forget you my "lady-bug" dog.... full of joy
in memory----1998---2009---june, 12, 2009---3:35pm
