The Heartest

Goodbye is the hardest word I know~
When you see them leave… when you watch them go ~

When the earth bursts that final shine of dancing colour
And sings its soaring ode to the pouring load that gushed between you

Then like watercolour, begins to drip away
To seep off the page
To pour tearstain ribbons down your face

So long sweet painting
You gorgeous piece of art
You lush planet of fading dreams and melting memory

I’ll never store your shores again
I’m still coursing with your flow
It’s bleeding out my open veins
It’s the hardest word I know

Star Course Rising

When you take a juicy bite from the fruit of the sky
And your chin drips in twilight’s nectar
And the stars are seeds that fizz in your mouth
and twinkle gooey rushes inside you

The mind rises with the notions of infinite oceans
of fractal web cartography, charting your course
through the looming abyss that spans like the space
between thoughts

Spin freewheeling
Dance with the glee of melting harmony
Let it ooze overtop you

Sing to the heavens that splash their mistings
and ring with the symphonies of shining tides

This is your place in the netherworlds forming
This is your dream in the mind of the sky
This is your star-burning hearth that is warming
This is your answer to why

No Words

You know, it’s a funny thing.
You learn, you earn your turn, you sing
And just before you burn, you bring
Yourself to fling
The tragic thing you fold away
So magic can take hold

And all the paper scraps you follow
Scripted with your drifted sorrow
Come out from their holding hollow:
One last read, and then tomorrow
A day starts uprooted, lifted
Nothing borrowed ~

A life unscripted

Gunked Up

Rid my mind of all these ghosts
That haunt me taunting, mounting walls
That hide away the truths I toast
While tripping on the old pitfalls
I hid away when I was younger
And those to which are newer, true
That I once thought would feed the hunger
Trembling under all I do

Screw this twisted misfit mountain
Built of shame and pain and pride
Take the clogs from out this fountain
So I may sit upon its side

And meditate the churning waters
So to clearer see
All the toiling tombs and totters
Boiling here in me

Spell of the Moon

Come to me darling
Come to me soon
To glance on the star twines and dance undermoon
Flushing our blood with the freshess of air
the swelling of love
the rushing of daring to run underspell
of the sky above staring us down

Pairing our steps to the wide gliding open
Casting our eyes on the forward unspoken
Weaving together the bond lesser broken
By healing the tokens we’ve wronged

Shot from the Hip

Such beautiful people
Gone, gone…

Such wonderful spirits
Onward on…

Goodbye forever, and never let go
You tide pushers and line rushers
of so much we know

You beatniks, you hippies
You glorious souls
Crushed in the waves
of momentum you rolled

Merry in Netting

I smoke a toke and become a different bloke that’s chokin
Broke in the open trope of never known n tokin
Floatin the streams of never beens
and ever-seepin grievers
Street-level open-shovel diggin up the reapers

Look at the mangled roots
Look at their stretch
Look upon the tangled poet
showin all he’s etched

Seep into the reaping true to fleeting all the gangles
Always reaching to uphold the scolding credo tangles

This is how a marionette is draped upon the stage
Of all the world in acting’s Globe

Dreaming of Dragons

Dragon Banner

Dreaming of dragons again
Dreaming of leatherfangs and batwings
Snarling howls and bellyfire
Power surging turgid captures of collassal enchantment
Mountaintops booming tellurian thunder
Skyways raging vast and festerous
Stormboned and shutterbound
Golden and godly
Roaming and rife

Dreaming of dragons again
What a surprise

Recurrents

I guess that I’m back at the start

She broke my heart
Opened me up
Tore me apart
Poisoned my cup
Oh, what an art

We met in the middle
And little by little
We’re found at the ends
No matter the fact that we started as friends
Something still tore us apart

I guess that we’re back at the start

Sync Deeper

Sync deeper
Blink sleeping
Creep steeper
Think feeling
Seep in heaps of drinking reapings
Winking weepings in your peepers

Tinker deeper
Link your sinking
To the steeper brinks you’re drinking
Shrinking into leaping creepers
Synching deeper

Beeping drips
of dreaming dips, seeming
tipsy

Drawn onward
Pulled by goneward knowing glows
Of yonder goes
Don’t ponder those

Downward slowing

Flying by the pounding frowns of dying cries

Shores comprising prizing calm
Clever on-word
Ever-heaping
Never sleeping

Gravelly Notions

Ripping cloud dusty down a lonesome gravel road
Virgin light reaching through the whispering pine
Sky new vast and stretching
Vistas sprawling large and calling
Autumn’s call is falling

Indian paintbrush colour the sides
Pallettes drop octaves below
Musical chords of trees going by
And nobody else to know

The Puzzlebox

What a curious and complex puzzlebox…
However to cleverly sever the locks?Puzlebox2Unriddle the middle of meddling muddles
Break free of the caking of coddling cuddles
Unpity in pious implosions unpacking
The deeper down presence and essence that’s lacking

Focus the hocussing pocussing mind
On doorways and storings and soarings to find
Clear out the fear-ridden, stress-laden stations
That block out the body from chockful vibrations

Deduct the distractions
Adding the actions
That equal equanimous soul satisfactionsPuzleboxLessen impactions of the world at its worst
By building the best parts inside of you first ~

The magic, the mystery, the profundance of history
Of humans unlocking the riddles of misery
To pass through the bastion of Man’s mystic source
Slowly unblocking the infinite force
That’s outside the boxes, but found in the cores

Meatier Reins

A poet
A know-it-all
A throw it all away
For the chance of a dance in the falling array of a meteor sky
That paints all the world in a phosphorous high
Of burning the charcoals of human becames
To light in the fires of meteor rains

Into the Wild…

Into the wild…
Into the smiled upon mystic unknown–

Down long tethered roads where
​​​​​​​​​​​  ​​​​​​​​the muskeg is grown with whispering trees
Telling their tales to the wandering breeze

Where mist lingers down to veil the eyes
​​​​​​​​​​​  ​​​​​​​​of the distance one goes in the frail disguise
​​​​​​​​​​​  ​​​​​​​​their humanity grows~

Show me your lostness
Show me your strife
And I’ll show you the cost of a borrowing life

I’ll show you tomorrow unveiled today
In the christening myst of a whispering way

Slipping the Fires of Rye

Whisper-dancing petal blooms prancing
precious metals trance sing-songs past me

Gleaming Goddess reaching seemingly through the oddest
and dreamingly glistening modesty

Quietly listening the pitter-pat whispering
moondropping mystery fluttering by

Flipping the windslides,  dripping in high tides
and slipping the fires of rye

Remember Life?

Remember life?

Remember that sweet tug of spontaneity at the sleeve of repetition?

Remember having no idea what’s going to come, and being surprised every time?

Remember that magic that leaks out in vibrant colours of undefined notions that sparkle gooey observation?

Remember life?

Remember love at the sight of every human who might wander lost and found into our own meandering reality?

Remember eye sparkles and lip tugs dancing this mystery of crossing paths in the blind forest of elven trees?

Remember that moment, photo locked in fragrant sensations ripping a perfumed paint glob out of memory?

Remember purpose pouring thick from nothing?

Remember meaning squeezed out of pure imagination?

Remember defining for ourselves the laws and logicless notions that churn the inner workings of this gorgeous machine?

Remember life?

Remember knowing that it was about us, and not some formulaic pattern of fitting in?

Remember looking at a blue sky and a yellow sun and thinking, that’s all I’ll need today…

Remember living?

Remember deciding what it is that meant?

Remember life?

I get this sense it still remembers us…

Kick it off

Kick it split second wicked
Weapon direct it
Stick it spinning
Shitface grinning sectioned winning smile undialing

Call off the smalltalk
Half-stock of smokin’ barrel
Chockful of awful cocky rofls

Sidesteppin’ left in
Just to fight right out
Keep in sight the leapin’ nightmonk
Fluorish, hunker under

Sparrin’ session far as lessons
Star in freshened wonder

Impossumble


A lonely little possumpossum
​​​​​​​​​​​  ​​​​​​​​upturning stones
Searching the dirts

But all that he knows
​​​​​​​​​​​  ​​​​​​​​is the instinct to hunt–
Always looking down and under
