A Kiss

~ nomisyar ~ Leave a comment

​The long drawl of cicada song: hundreds of crescendos, and not one diminuendo.
woodpecker’s pounding is accentuated by dropping acorns.  
Robins and cardinals and finches and catbirds each offer brief, yet  impassioned solos.  a night heron croaks in, right before bed, and two fish sound the cymbals across the glassy stillness.
Dragonflies dance to these luscious sounds of summer, drunk with a lust, and a need unquenchable, they fly in tandem, fulfilling Summer’s ripe promise.

and

two Lovers,

amidst this perfect symphony.

exchange a KISS.
a KISS 

to answer that singular question,

that will usher in a lifetime 

of mutual discovery, sensualism,

revelations, freedom, and….
oh, but for a kiss

Old Man

Bounding
Racing
Inspiring
Me.
Old pup,
I miss you.

Limping
Living
savoring.

Young fart,
I love you.

Time
Runs
Intrepid.

Embrace
Infirmity,
With grace.

Because
there is no
other way.

Older,
And
Cunning…
Your eyes have faded.
But ‘Gus my friend,
I see
You

Unfolding

Can you feel
the miles, and miles
of open road
and
beaten trail
and rugged bush
opening,
and unfolding
before you?

will you be ready,
when Coyote
riding atop Wolf
and pulling Horse
summon you
to convene with Eagle?

Are

you ready?
because they left a note
for you
last night.
left it at your door as you slept.
they will meet you over the next hill,
if you leave
now.

what
are you
waiting for?

Rainbow Bridge Tree

Hey buddy
how are you?
what are you doing here?
isn’t it a nice tree?
like a cradle
in the sky.
I miss my mom.
do you miss yours?
what are we doing here?
I prefer  a crawfish to a chicken bone
but,
we ain’t got none.
this is a nice tree.
I hope they don’t chop it down
like my other favorite tree.
they chop down a lot of trees.
I don’t like that.
but I like trees.
oh shit, quiet!
it’s ‘Gus, you know,
Killer G.
he ate my momma.

Reunion

~ nomisyar ~ Leave a comment

The cloud licks,
and
memories bite.
It is time
to
release.

Some fairytale,
and, the
same fairy Godmother,
taking me away
taking me
taking me.

Why,
why don’t you
want me?

I saw a friend,
or,
He saw me.
We are together.
We are so far fucking
apart.

But
I am
here.
To talk to you.
so that you
may
follow
your own.

I love you.
But I love
Me.
More.

Revival

~ nomisyar ~ Leave a comment

New beginnings usher in
the return
of brand new doubt.

discarded lance
finds itself once again
in trembling hand.

Battle has come.
but this soul warrior
is not prepared.

I do not seek the struggle
nor am I so craven for peace,
that the shadow of lie
and fear cloak my shoulders.

Only oblivion
will set me free.

A Star
shining hot
and
burning bright
in the expanse

still shines alone.

I cull the collective
for wisdom that
came long before me,
and shall be invented again
long after I leave you.
to be dusted off by others
Braver
Freer
and Stronger than I could be.

But for now,
the reins are Mine.
follow if you dare.

Je ne suis pas Charlie, mais je suis Charlie

We write because we know
that the written word
has more staying power
than the orator’s rhetoric.

We write because we know
in a slight turn of phrase
and sexed up wordplay,
We will steal our reader’s own palette
and with it, paint indelibly onto the soul’s canvass.

It’s why singers sing
And painters paint,
Why builders build
And rockers rock.

It is why lovers love.

So, although I don’t agree with the Gauls’ politics,
I defend,
not their right to free speech under the rule of law,
But their right,
and the right of every individual, to express ourselves freely.
Because we are all of us
Beautiful
Valued
Loved
and Loving
Humans.

And, to quote a very intelligent and insightful friend of mine:

“…fuck anyone who’s offended by a cartoon.”
