Balance of Earth and Sky

December 18, 2009

Oh what a delicate balance of earth and sky we are Sky never knows to forget Earth never forgets to know Only humankind can drink from the grail of forgetfulness The sorrows of death The moment of enlightenment All washed into the same abysmal extinction We are drenched in the future and re-invented from the [...]

Logos, High Ghost, Eros

December 18, 2009

I live in your words Where my orb is bound and measured In the grace of your spoken moment. Your words stake me to the ground And lift me to soar with eagles. They rain on my weariness And let me stand naked Shimmering in the ecstasy of a million new suns. I am spoken [...]

Dance

December 18, 2009

I dance. We dance. This body resistance. This old man in my sea. This silent stranger that speaks more with silence than all words. In youth the old man sleeps. In mid life the old man rouses my attention. This body resistance is my inner earth, my gravity. My soul lites as moths to the [...]

Dream Medley

December 18, 2009

Caribbean Night

December 15, 2009

Did I tell you I bought a sailboat? Did I tell you I live in Caribbean night? Adrift, enveloped By big bosomed women. Inviting, beautiful. Women that do not know my name And invite me to do the same. Adrift, enveloped By dark tropical seas. Inviting, beautiful Seas that do not know my name And [...]
