  • No Running

    it’s all hallways for me a labyrinth of switchbacks an arrangement of dead ends and the mirrors only tease sorry I’m so broken time is not linear forever never still hopes waiting

  • Disdain

    the dogma of self indulgence show me, sure, but tell me, too I didn’t look? You didn’t listen. echoes of time like clockwork big blue eyes sunken and staring bug eyes of blue aviators reflected silk layered facades of transience sorry I didn’t notice your shoes powerless words of helplessness assured by voices of prowess…

  • Untitled

    in the chamber of a smoke filled bubble is the ember of a life still breathing the capricious flow of time beats blows memories into dreams tests limits, breaks rules challenges mortality and even still it survives light a soul fire so intertwined with a cold wind rigid contemplation and hopeless ambitions one intrinsically needs…

  • Tongue Touch

    slip-drop driving rhythmic rain cozy in a warm place lickety-split a casual close call I don't wanna talk

  • Tonight’s Lady…

    Dreams riddled in waking fits Drifter from the realm of One Walking ever nowhere, again Casing crowns and disrobing Starlit curves pass promises Touch sudden caught breath An indulgent haunting hunger Grips, grasps, and lets you go

  • Elliptical Attraction

    2005Mar09 Games of jealousy Resistance designed To be released – A controlled inevitability …and with so much passion Ricocheted arrows With a recoiled touch Make a pass Held back and drawn close Without any need for reason Elliptical attractions Ebb and flow High and low With not much in between Today is a season Found…

  • Recurring

    2005Mar05 Swirled words on a Saturday night, Mixed emotions, And blended time frames. Artwork creating being Recurring, episodic acquaintances Friendly, but challenging Destined transience Planted seeds There’s a shifting in the energetics of the situation Motion, emotion Memories of promises to come And dreams of wishes made true

  • Motel Evening

    2005Mar03 (Poem) Motel Evening Slow drive went quickly With a race to get home Too fast – Too far away It wasn’t quite an escape Caught by the net (Or was it a web) There was never a predator Or malice behind smiling The laughter didn’t have to be Nervous (hiding from failing) Antidote to…

  • 2004Aug13 (Poem)

    2004Aug13 (Poem) Redwood Park Early afternoon Don’t trip on the promise Of yesterday’s forecast. Don’t fall backwards Planning tomorrows events. Positive presence: [Give her what she wants, But Don’t forget about myself] Selfless Full-bodied Being – Treasure is a celebration; Savour the moment, Dispel the world, And stop breaking thinks down. Rise.

  • 2004Aug06 (Poem+)

    2004Aug06 Connect! Rejuvenate and be free It’s time to dance and sing And love with wreckless abandon I’m going to show the world what Power there is in faith I have leapt from the edge of the abyss Crossed the point of no return Thrown caution to the wind And dared to dream an impossible…

  • 2004Aug05

    2004Aug05 Fog this morning, followed by sunshine – glorious in that rarely does one see the sun this early in Arcata (at least on foggy mornings). I am this way in my head this morning, too…. Foggy, but lifting. Pragmatic tasks to cling on to, but not the frictionless ear for my words yet. My…

  • 2004Jul21 (Poem)

    2004Jul27 (Poem) Frail looking Hollow skin or flesh Cheap or free connections Never gifted Until the veil is lifted Dissipates a fog-like lie In an instant – an eternity A discerning eye Caresses the senses Then makes up its own mind It must be love Or there’ll be hell to pay Refresh dormant ideas Sullen…

  • 2004Jul19 (Poem)

    2004Jul19 (Poem) Monday (The Butterfly Factor) Inhibiting lucidity Blaring and bleak With intensity Cohabited stone-yard Isolated island Flung through space Eruption from the point of no return

  • 2004Jul18 (Poem)

    2004Jul18 (Poem) Yesterday’s lover Passed without revisit Curled me up and laid me down While school girls woke me Teasing “Daddy, I’m home” Woke me to adult-hood Held me over – holding out Until today when I at last faded Drifted away without help And felt my heart sing Near the fire at ruby gulch…

  • 2004Jul13 (Poem)

    2004Jul13 (Poem) White water White noise White light Shredded from oneness Void – like tears or rips Whistle pressure imploding Turbulence and separation Sound from silence Release of attrition
