Red Granite

Listen closely and hear

To know what the dawn needs

Tired eyes and a drifting thought

You must be astronaut sat upon God’s knees

Closer to hear

What the colors of dawn needs

Poppyseed fields at the foot of a valley

The crimson of God’s teeth

A Dim Afterparty

Thou shall never know if words could ever suffice

Nor should the laws of nature bound the mind to the earth

For we exist as long as the fade of eternal light

Brings a dimming to the afterparty as we find it cannot always be night

And though our hands feel our knees and our locked chests

Some can see clearly yet roam in the subconscious dark depths

In a ...

Respect Women, he said

I remember my skin was tight coming in from the low of a Maine night

When she

When she

When she

When she

Discovered my claims of

I could walk better, I ain’t in pain

But she knew something other than how my words were arranged

it were the muscles in and around my mouth, sculpting my face

Or it was the bags under my eyes

She related to when ...

It brings me comfort knowing we're sleeping under the same sky,

Gazing at the same moon,

Wishing upon the same stars. 

It makes me feel closer to you.

I am content to love you,

Knowing I will never be loved in return,

For it is better to give than to receive, 

And loving is better than being loved. 

The happiness the thought of you brings me

Is enough.

If I cant hold you in my arms, 

Then I will hold you in my thoughts 

And be satisfied,

Knowing that you live in my mind

And can never leave me.

I hope the stars

Always twinkle for you.

I hope the flowers

Always bloom for you.

I hope the sun

Always shines for you.

I hope the moons 

Always bright for you.

I hope the sunset 

Is always your favorite color.

I hope your ocean’s 

waves are always calm. 

I hope your river

Always runs true. 

I hope the rain 

Never lasts too long.

When they say to stay gold

Is it for bright days to sit between your ears?

All the cotton clouds, two or three, right there?

Or is it to find strength for your arms to pull you over the mossed edge?

Mama cried after every light accomplishment

Whether it be reinstated love or you set a day aside for treks and hikes

Or graduated from University

You seen Mama cry when t...

She had moonlight in her eyes

Starlight in her hair

Her smile became the sunrise

That burned away despair

She took me to the clouds

Weaved rainbows from the grey

And showed me all the colours

That life had on display

And under starry skies

Where galaxies unfold dreams

We ran into the cosmos

To find its hidden seams 

But I lost you to the star...

Flowers & Hummingbirds

I hear the wind over your voice every morning

Something sweet of your breath while I am running

In the willow leaves woven is golden hair

The bronze-valley of her eyes when the sun comes

Begin to glow

I keep running not knowing where I’m going

She is there

I know I would like to go home

Flowers and hummingbirds know the story

Of w...

softly she breathes

night coats her head

I wish I lay in a different bed

some women thrill

one look inflames

their kicks come from playing games

she's too banal

her lips lukewarm

the polar reverse of a sensual storm

no excitement

zero surprise

I know exactly what's behind those eyes

it's been one year

itchy my feet

not enough her being ...

In the morning I held you so tightly

As the dawn light drizzled our bed

Wondering if your dreams fluttered lightly

From the kaleidoscope in your head

Did the rays of the sun come and catch them?

And filter a rainbow of dreams

Then gently release & dispatch them

Into shimmering rivers and streams

Did the water taste like sweet nectar?

To the ones who drank ...

she conjured my fate

juggled my dreams

with her visions my memory teems

I was treading water

sitting on my hands

she took me off to distant lands

hands that soothed

performed illusions

making sense of my delusions

shelter in her cloak

solace from her eyes

with my pain her mercy vies

that charming smile

she shone abroad

seemed to lift my...

you can't stop it

love gathers dust

its downhill from the end of lust

so hot she squeaked

her touch a scorch

nothing doused my flaming torch

wet mouth a snare

long limbs a web

we knew this inferno could not ebb

ugly but chic

lithe and svelte

a body that would never melt

we sit here now

old and forlorn

wishing we had never been born

the tears are gone

her eyes are dry

dawn breaks unblinking in the sky

I've confessed all

my conscience clean

surprised she did not make a scene

all those women

the casual lies

yet no questions or fluttering whys

no hint of shock

her sheets are blue;

I told her what she already knew

she'd sucked it up

loved me so much

forgiven all just f...
