warmth within a cold wind
water dreams
adrift
long wind calling
so young
ever her deep sad eyes
searching for freedom
a child unknowing
what is right
what feels wrong
drawn to a song
found the heart
of
a wandering soul
just a poet with
nowhere to go
an echo rhyme
lost tears shattered
a child’s long sighs
so easy to hold
warmth within a cold wind
so easy to fall in love

freedom without sound (for Tristen)
mirror found
old trees carved
native dancer eyes
wind sight
looking for a warm night
where
in the morning light
girl looking for free
warm seasons calling
sand too slowly falling
fingers open
fingers closed
painted color glass
windows opened at last
freedom without sound
music in dance
carving words onto
those roads
long roads
drawings in the sand
girl
with a mirror in her hand

songs of a people
singing in the silence
a call to voice
if songs of a government
gives breath
in refrain
within the song of a people
said voices
dare rise
after winter
when water falls
strong
against all
winds of division
sunflower dreams
awaken on such
screams
where hope rises
and birth
is renewed
across mountains high
we the people
believe!

dream circles
shadow light
where a wind
howls
walking the night
chill mountain silence
empty bench mirror
winter rhymes and love
just a kiss
and all a moment
dare carries
such long echoes of
time
carried as lines
lines that shatter
dream circles
painted in blood
lost

freedom across a star-deep sky
in the moment
before you’re gone
did you dance
across a western sunrise
have you painted
free your dreams
across a star-deep sky
have you dared to love
till it hurt
have you traveled
the far reaches of your
neighbor’s lost silence
have you believed in
something
owned by more then
your greed
have you dared
god not to exist
have you dared
to live
in the moment
before you’re gone…

save me
i remember
so young
she was
so young
her long crazy hair
deep dark eyes
pleading
save me
five years
naked in a bathtub
washing her hair
beautiful child
saved
or not
“it’s ok for you to wash me
down there”
or not

just another song
blues sung
from an empty room
silence draped across
memory stained windows
a long memory
carries
the warm ache of
your soul broken
for a moment
where songs
carrying
truth and beauty
reside
a moment without divide
just another song
sing

never said good-bye
late night walking
river talking
alone within
your own shadow
dancing
fast stepping
marking concrete
sidewalk patterns
calling you down
where all those roads
pass behind
where reality has gone
where have you left
your last song
if somewhere
lost
untouchable
if you loved her
for a minute
have you loved forever
truth talking from
within your shadow
where one needs never
bleed
concede
late night dreaming
black-light river
calling your name
sweet refrain
lost song
singing
shadow words
shade across moments
where time crosses with rhyme
wind as sin washes
your eyes
through her deep hair
deep within a seasons
crossroads
where
one word holds
all the longer roads
cold night’s warm lips
sip of rain
ever the stain
never said good-bye

hungry hands
my country’s light
now
just a candle lit
desperation
behind pane glass and wood
window
hungry children
hungrier mothers
and yet
they call such
welfare dreamers
and yet
they offer but
blowing sands
to all those
hungry hands
how dare they
dance
for it is upon the graves
of
all our mothers & children

bleeker street revisions
street songs
where
once a young man
belonged
dreams & tears
carving new roads
from
broken concrete walls
next to
empty stalls
where children kept
warm
time storm
when
beauty crosses shirts torn
wind blown
as sin across dreams
nowhere left
to believe
daring to bleed
before such
lost mirror longing

sweet music
caught in the drift
a shadow in-between
found her peace
silence calls from
within the light
as night fails
across an empty stage
so loud her music
still playing
in dance
etched as motion
alive
within the mirror eternal

alone
the sea
a siren call
dark waters
lines drawn
life lines mix
the seasons
yesterday yields
broken memory concedes
tomorrow falls
as leaves wind free
dance alone
deep within
your last sigh

shift
time walks
echoes talk
concrete carved dreams
cast shadow
images
lost within waves
of sand
ocean drift
canvas shaded dreaming
light dancing
shift
cold winter blues
shift
long summer nights
shift
blood droplets fall
water free circles
shift
great oak shade
girl child seeds
call to truth
rain across a woman’s
sight
shift
fingerprint dust
wind blows
rust recedes
a waterfall’s exception
shift

aura painting
lost highway gods
prayers cast
deep into
an ocean’s dream
walking the long trails
footprints
waves of concrete
aura painting
eyes open
sunshine mirror
liquid silver
in movement
walking blind
sound from a heartbeat
echoing loud
considerations tossed
from waves man made
ice sculptures
long summer heat
frozen dreams contest
lips moving the silence
if only tomorrow
yellow painted idols
shimmering reflections
dancing
across the music
of silence

lost in a moment
dancing loud
voice in song
silent verse
echo
from old plaster walls
color peeling
leaving lyrics unsung
upright piano
lies quiet
but for memories adrift
just a man
lost in a moment
daring
to carve
color & line
daring
to see

lost within the shades of language
patterns
where walks
the wandering mind
they spoke my English
as I translated
their sweet poetry
just blind poets
painting patterns
as if they could see
patterns lost
cohesive ideas
shattered
friends or not
where dare meet
unlike minds
shades of language
undefined

she paints
she dances the silence
across her artist dream
lost within the wonder
a child looking
for her lost name
mirror game
where rules
are never the same
ocean green
stains her fingers
ocean blue
stains her canvas
nameless she paints
all her colors
speaking truth
tomorrow
water dreaming
reflecting
her shine

patchwork dream quilt
deep
songs
water shadows
blind verse
carved
upon the movement
of autumn beaches
a girl who
painted her name
across the crest
of a receding wave
dared to bleed
her silence
lost within
winter shadows
cast by a woman’s
need
if upon an ice wind
covers patched from dreams
she sighs
warmth
moonlight revisions
tries to concede
dares to believe
her mirror name
written in sand
remains the same
as songs written
as love and life
stains

honor shattered
within a blind man’s
silence
my country’s honor
shattered
guns for children
souls painted white
mirrors
within
the heart of a nation
lies broken
i cry the wind
as
a candle of light
bends to darkness

mobius highway heart
tears of time
dusk rain dancing
ice on a river
whispers
caught by dream winds
sing
where words are music
from where does a heart
call
of time
yesterday folds cold
across tomorrow’s reflection
mobius highways
still traveled
fingerprints on a train window
belief
your eyes
dare
snowflakes cast their shadows
where a soul bleeds
in song
in music
in words
where
a heart still beats
