echoes drift
as water calling
falling
her words talk
the mist
the silence
shadow walk
until tomorrow
until yesterday
all her songs

where water is dry
raggedy man
sand in your eyes
why do not
you still have a name
scattered mind
walking the silence
of ones own echoes
lost
why do you believe
what
is it
you perceive
you bleed
but do not die
you live where
water is dry
raggedy man
do still
you cry…

song for all the rest
how close to death
before
death is close to you
big sur hiking
between
long blue ocean
and
eternal rolling sun worn hills
starlight psychedelic
dreaming
young and nameless
soft lips wet
singing
late night
stars ringing
as bells echoing
deep
old gothic church walls
when simple belief
was possible
where tomorrow was believable
ice cold winter
heavy snow falling
dark night collapse
a candle lit whispers
in being lost
is where one is only found
life before all the rest
when the banshee calls
dare to listen
to hear what voice
not for you
circles
unknowing
a young boy hears
the song
old man dying blues
between what breath
is a song for
all the rest

the bright
within the quest
of dreams walking
across your night
where the bright
of a candle
shines
like the furthest star
twinkle twinkle
if
an empty soul
with nowhere to go
without belief
lies an open window
if an artist born
painting
the sky of tomorrow
true
calls to the wind
balance
if
men dare
call to the universe
twinkle twinkle
lies the open window

irish whisky and song
piano jazz break
deep within the blues
dancing hard
chancing to forget
wanting to believe
as young men do
so black
so deep
the sky
fingers dare almost
to touch the stars
shadow fall across the earth
clear
unseen
till
tears fall where
beauty calls
dancing
irish whisky and song
shadow play
across the quiet

revision drift
images float
as air
a curtain of
illusion carved
revision drift
the paint of mad
men
green eyes
they hypnotize
the ethically blind
their poor white
skin drapes
fall
if walls
paper dreams
call
silence
falls
empty tomorrows
catchall for
evening tears
shattered years

your black face gods
fear in your soul
black heart
greedy eyes
healthy
but one can die
what can one do
burn your god
wall out your neighbor
retreat delusions
shall you live forever
…
…
…
or not
shall one dare
loving eyes
help one’s neighbor
so whispers your god
how will one live
as
we all do die!
just breathing
black heart breathing.

daring to follow alice
in a child’s imagination
dances dreams
holding tight what
screams must a child
have seen
sticks balls and bicycle
trails
castles war and hobbit holes
daring they follow alice
down
down
down
where freedom reigns
sun shade reading
carrying
residing
mysteries
space epics
castles
carved by magic
unless
a lazy mind resides
video games
computer friends
a blind man’s safety
if tomorrow
dares command
it is there
deep
in a child’s imagination

byways into forever
wind blowing
my name
as dust
if
on a stain free
devil’s eyes
an old vw microbus
racing full speed
just keeping up with
an older highway’s sign limits
driving free
dreaming within a young
man’s tries
eyes open
looking for any reason
to break free
the season which holds
one in a moment
riding north where
circle games stain
turning wheels
road rhythms
songs call to
yesteryear echoes
traveling west
on a blue ocean quest
looking for a home
just a retreat
from that hitch-hiking’s defeat
sunset shadows fall
as dragons
such are dreams lying across
once open sunlit highways
a young man’s byways into
forever
your child calls
a seat behind
your woman just smiles
feet on the dashboard
sweet circle refrain
a young man’s find
is home

without seed
she dances me
her song
sweet and long
write me

concede to truth
draped by jungle flowers
without seed

shadow resonance
recollections across sound
play
as sweet blues
dancing on thin soled shoes
sing along
“A” train nyc refrain
morning rain
window stain
concrete streets
brick walled defeats
marching for your beliefs
young girl dressed
so tight and fine
her longing eyes
still alive
a light across his mind
a wandering man’s shadow night
cobblestone street lamp lit
soft bright
blood and whispers
carry dreams forgotten
open hands cold
bleeding their warmth
110th street vibrations
upstate highway
winter full moon
a left hand glove
missing
almost loved her within
a forever lost
midnight empty subway platform
trace paper images
refractions
carved faces across
low tide oceans recede
where
moonlight retreats
before
early morning sunlight stain

a whisper within a song
salt left on sand
ocean dreaming
returning to the sea
where freedom
not just an urge
western wind blows
warm
sitting on a stone
counting
as a wind breaks
waves
a blind man
believes in sight
young woman strong
a whisper within a song
in thought
sunlight reflects
water walking reason
sunset wave revisions
call to the moment
a girl child is born
a woman in her season
breaking free

on a summer tree
who am i
dancing alone
in a small room
wooden worn walls
paint stained
across time
echoes a dance of
memory regained
ice growing
on a summer tree
shadows fall
shattered seasons

caring
to believe

dance them down
long time past
my country
my president
saw
my civil rights dance
a chance to delete me
and yet
i refused to go
moving from place to place
no mask hiding my face
to hide my trace
in circles of rhyme
it is now
and they march
for civil rights
in front of such
a mirror of time
filled with images
the innocent
black faces and more
disrespect for life
deep within evil
white man dreaming
our country
our president
watches from behind white walls
our civil rights dance
a chance to delete us
but for
we are the vote
we are our country
we shall
delete them
so
stand your ground
regardless of cost
march on
vote them out!
dance them down
for they are blind
and
you can see

the sea
traces as liquid light
memories in echo
blind men swim
deep waters of delusion
lone boy carries

as concrete walls fall
mirrors bleed
watercolor carrying truth
if old men dared
once again
the sea
reflections
white moon circles

who
if words walk
across

calling out
without sight

not to live forever
a young man
a simple rhyme
if something is on
the mind
a quest
a vision
a moment noticed
mirrors facing mirrors
not to live forever
he carries the moment
a tomorrow
deep
where dreams
a soul
unframed canvas
hanging balanced
on a wood
aged wall
lost
where falls a moon night
shadow
just a window unseen
just an image framed
a stain upon his life
- jude
an ideology of truth
a simple night
under
a casting of dark light
reality is adrift
tethered to a
widow’s shadow
held in rapture
a negative within
a mirror
of ice glass
nameless souls
afraid
afraid
as the walls of reality
which once
held
freedom lost or imagined
come to lie
within the ideology of truth

when a soul cries
where do old poets
go to die
off singing with
the deep water whales
music devoid of sound
shadows filled with
light
never to say good-night
drifting
winds as song
drifting
where only clouds belong
when a soul cries
if words allow
more then
reality breaks
where do old poets
go
when they dare to see…

ice cold soul
daring to walk
a long dream
seen
under the light
of a waxing moon
if an old used
deck of tarot cards
read
offers an open door
from a youth stage
daring is all the rage
or not
no home
an empty page
a longing kiss on lonely lips
rice paper and wind
a stain of death
black ink pen
fingers tight
grasping the light
believing in the
sweet smell of asphalt
where seeing
is more then believing
where walking
is all that’s left
for an ice cold soul
to do…

long river dance
color born
waterfall in dream
such the cost of seeing
more then believing
black night bleeding
stain upon my cities streets
love me quiet
love me in defeat

just
for a bit of civil rights

dare to remember
dare to see

still has

opening star-light curtains

ethereal light
trying to catch
an autumn wild wind
painted deep within
color changing eyes
you saw me
yet never believed
in
what changing color
means
clouds skate blue ice
dreams as falling water

your image etched
tattoo upon fingerprints
held within
bloodless hand
sand falls
time without a tomorrow
your footprints cast
deep within our highway dreams
ethereal light
casts no shadow

if tomorrow
touched by the wings
angel with a child’s
deep black eyes
too sweet smell
blowing winds
of death
whispering beneath
all the rest
belief dares one
to see
ocean of ice breaking
the long fall
just trying to
catch your breath
she danced the morning
teaching you
reaching where blood
dreams
dare to live
care to die
where
only sorrow carries
truth
yet it is blood
that perceives tomorrow

smoke signals
stains within a

driftwood mirror silence
light on a morning’s edge
shadow-less is her freedom
hawks fly a wind’s reason
calling to a great oak’s earth-light

what true freedom means
to love our neighbors
before ourselves
to be
unique
one among many
many within one

for my country
it is time
to bleed…

echoes of a child’s sigh
broken doll lost
a child’s floor
behind an echo’s door
nyc “A” train
just a voice in-between
song in blues
stain upon worn jeans

in a song
riding the shadows
window mirrors
where she belongs
blood stained refrain
metal on metal rhythm
cadence
wall to wall
calls to an image lost
childhood shadows
reflections within a dolls eyes
