Would
I
be
so
interesting
if you were
fully analog?
or
if I
were…?
Funk dat,
Are you ready for me
Now?

back to the beginning.
back to my roots.
back to back
and
together again
with nothing
at all
to lose.
one step
back;
step
farther
away,
from
the
sweet nectar
of
yesterday.
so come
with me.
come back,
and
run
with me.
Damn
walking
tip-
toed
across my
past
i see
giants
bowing
to Gnats.
or is it
the future
through
which
i so carefully
tread?
or perhaps
it
is
destiny,
that i
so
dread?
Time Travel
sifting through
future transgressions,
we find
hope
in
audacity.
we
find
courage
in foolhardiness.
we find
truth
in bemusement.
we find
ourselves….
soaring.
Why?
sinking low,
beneath
love’s call,
endless pleasure awaits.
mute
the glory
that you know;
halt the natural
rhythm
&
flow,
and sail down
to ebb with
me,
violently
into
infinity.
Act
calm rages
against,
in your deep.
unforgiving acceptance knows no bounds.
resisting
the lure
of peace,
keeping inflamed;
or
burn cold,
and burn
mean.
reason &
patience contest
with time,
tempting you
from
that which
must abide.
Silence
after the herons
and sparrows and
geese
have gone.
after the laughter erupts;
and
the tears are shed;
and
the merriment made,
i turn,
and
there
you
are.
Fifty miles away,
or fifty seconds?
you are never further
than right
here,
beside
me.
on this night
of kings and shepherds;
in the deepest silence,
I find
you.
only,
you.
Winter Solstice Stew II ( literal verse)
warming
healing
reliable
familiar:
love actuated,
and returned.
but
a
hug is
way better.
Traveler’s Lament
wishing
&
hoping
to turn back
the wheels of time….
or
at least….
get a do over?
i don’t know how,
but, yes,
i certainly know why.
but why
must we both lose that
which lifts
us
up?
why?
i gave what i could,
but
i could give more.
Damn it,
let me
give you more.
i know an easier road
will take me away
from you.
i know an emptier path
will keep me from knowing
you.
i know
the path i seek
is the path
leading
directly
to you.
a path of loving kindness
a path of more, not less
a path of tenderness
a path of togetherness
i can travel the world ten times over
and never find
the wonders i uncovered
right here
with you.
you.
Clarity Conquered
hot air
blurs
and shimmers,
confusing truth
with
fantasy,
and desire.
stripped
of flame
or the want
of a touch,
moments of clarity
last an eternity.
focus blindly
in this dark
with no moon to
light your way,
and your destiny
will come to you
-to laugh.
fool of a man,
you are the fire
you are the source of all desire.
fear not the confusion
fear not to fall
fear not
fear not
fear not at all
trust in that inferno
seething within your chest.
fear not to give
light to the dark.
give your gifts.
give your love.
save your pain
but gift your all.
the world
needs
you.
i
need
you.
cold clarity invites death.
live a little, and
come
burn with me
you little devil-
come burn and dance and dream to the sounds of fiery rapture.
