Blank
Blankness prevails
So white and so nothing
This canvas becomes
The wall where it hangs
Slumped at its angle
A sorrowful state
Promising nothing
So lifeless and pale
Hints of a thought
Disperse into air
Weightless and empty
And cold to the breath
This blank little canvas
May never be saved
Only waiting for someone
To rescue it’s face

Waiting at the Door
I can’t explain so deep inside
The very fabric of my soul
Only a heart that grieves such loss
Can ever truly understand
It’s like you’re waiting at the door
Until a loved one comes back home
You feel a longing in your heart
When they appear the longing stops
But in a loss that never ends
You’re always standing at that door
You feel the longing in the br...

Words
I want to throw myself away into the graceful light of words
And cast my soul among the waves that sweep into the sea of knowing
Where wisdom breaks against the shore to fill the void that never sleeps
Cooling these fires inside my soul that keep my happiness from growing
I watch the rocks come tumbling down as children play between the wars
Somehow their smiles are all we have to see the...

Expressions so Deep
As I sit with you here
spelling out every tear
Telling mind heart and soul
of the things that I fear
Here we share common ground
breaking down
touching base
All the knowledge we seek
manifests in this place
As the day falls to night
we submerge to let go
Any boundaries of mind
soon expand in the flow
Thoughts implode in us now
Running concepts like streams
and expressions of dou...

Truths Untold
The lights are out upstairs in me
Hell knows my head’s been gone so long
Others can’t reach the place I be
Mind fears you are the only one
Kings fall and prince’s hearts unfold
Never to sail the storms I ride
Only the pen your fingers hold
Will write these truths untold inside

An Ode to a Poet
If I move from this place then the rhyme will be lost
like the dreams when you move from the bed. All the lessons
we’ve learned between slumber and light are the truths,
never making the pages of knowing.
All we have are these caves living deep in our minds
Where potholes are many and where entities speak, on their own
in the dark. Here the hand has to steer very close to the soul
or it w...

Astray
Where the land meets the sea
I’ll follow your trail
To an unknown place
Unrehearsed
Like a dream
As the moments are lost
Just take me away
And I’ll let me be gone

Your Shadow
Can’t make the dreaming stop
It spells the truth out right
For in the cold of night
I wish your shadow to return
Each captivating form
that danced in hidden doors
When boredom stalked my mind
Our shadows tricked the moon
Where dreaming haunts my soul
Your touch is ever present
I always reach for you
Though I’m afraid of shadows
And oh God how I love you
Though I could tell you not
Now you may neve...

My Friend the Ghost
Sleeping beauty lays eternal
My friend the ghost forever now
You chose to slip beyond the veil
In search of peace and peace you found
You quickly jumped outside the frame
into a world just out of sight
Though I still see you in the day
and in the blackened room at night
My eyes they failed to see the dark
A loss of sight, my vision blind
So very fragile was your soul
And deeply tr...

Forms
These forms of yours take me inside myself
To read deeper into the entity
Stepping outside the threshold of consciousness
Living each moment in the arms of your mind
Believing in love
Resting on a whim
Gliding towards peace
I am less myself
And more of you
Our hearts re-shape
As we are forced into singularity
Breathing in time
Whispering joys
Turning in the wind
All n...

Whim
On a whim we did
Outside the limits hid
In transcendental style
If only for a while
We slide between the seems
A wordless understanding
Channelled access to our dreams
Beyond the realm we slipped
With silent steps we skipped
Behind the background noise
With dedicated poise
That tripped our lips to kiss
Bereft of any reason
Here in momentary bliss
Yet who are you?
And who am I?
No history known
No pas...

Free Fall
Out from this craft
these thoughts fall down
With eyes kept shut
and backwards jump
Into the blue
Free from the frame
I’m letting go
to breathe the mind
Here I can turn
me inside out
To blend with
everlasting winds
Where rhythms lead
me through myself
In ever changing
Whistling words

The Ghost of Me
As I fragment inside the core
These tiny scatterings of shell
Are spilling out onto the floor
I do believe I’m breaking up
This I was sure I’d never do
My channel’s unidentified
No frequency is getting through
For this day brings me no agenda
With lack of speech and empty head
All conversations disengaged
A loss of life the soul has bled
I am autumnal to the touch
With much aba...

Read my Mind....
Lies a labyrinth of thought
Rows upon rows of mind
Dream wistfully away
I turn to you and smile
A message unresolved
Yet tenderly unfolds
To share with you this day
Come here and read my state
Now know this honest space
For here in lies the realness
So definite defined
As every passing glance
Draws closer to this place
These eyes are open wide
For you to read my mind
