as paint across my eyes
time is quiet
dreams they walk
where is the silence
she whispers
once i heard the banshee sing
suddenly
the man beside me
became
a body without breath
but a boy
stained forever
a forever as paint across my eyes

song of a tree
quiet ocean dreams
what lines the seams
of her soul
storms deep in echo
if light
shatters time
singing
across the lines
marking her heart
woman
with nowhere to go
walking a river of
blood
such as water
walking a river of
illusion
sharing her water
of life
with those who belong
song of the trees
born of water and dreams

a beautiful ride
i feel death
riding me down
echoes meeting me
without making a sound
i wonder
if the seasons
are
still on my side
oh
but its been a beautiful
ride
if i’m not dead
then
i must consider
this ladder i dare
call time
this universe i dare
call mine
i must concede
all my needs
and just
be alive...

battlefield of lies
where are the angels
who will cry for
the children dying
the stain of their tears
drying
floors of concrete
now stained
as a frame
all that remains
to warm the broken souls
of children
red eyes in their tries
to believe
in tomorrow
is it left to the poets
to picture truth
candle light
calls to the shadows
coveted by
the cries of banshees
claiming their own
upon
a battlefield of lies
does it matter
what flag flies
over graveyards
of innocence torn

sand in a poet’s eyes
riding the wind
of
beauty
sings the light
songs dare
moonlight held
within
the sun’s shadow
black light memories
stars deep
behind such shaded walls
the calls
an old poet
dreaming
mirror behind a window
words carved into glass
need
to swim within
a sea of water
lily pads
paint the shore
under a fairy’s call
all the beautiful women
all women
chance
to see themselves
within a poet’s eyes
dancing
such beauty
ripples never ending
echoing from
a woman’s sigh
just a sand painting
just a moment’s beauty
seen

shattered hourglass
born
whispers running
across
an ocean’s skin
deep water whale songs
singing
eyes fall from
pillow clouds
within their long drift
breathe
you care to breathe
from a forgotten dream
simple thoughts
words concede
where truth bleeds
seeds
birth
seagulls paint in lines
a world in pattern
beginnings
sand falling free
shattered hourglass
morning light falls
calls to
rhyme within reason
freedom
the banshee’s season

a painted absence
where dare one
to dream
across tomorrow
when faced with only
a void
a painted absence
if a poet
lost
within the silence
of his words
is a poet
still

raven song
who do you see
mirror before your eyes
where dance
the winds
of your youth
dreams broken
love wrongs
unspoken
paint upon the image
seen
dusty brick walls
windows in song
shadows as stains
long faded
images paraded
did you belong
raven song
sings to your belief
echo of your season
broken mirror
a reflection’s call
to reason

where blind justice is blind
break me
break me
lost within my soul
a scream
the echo
tears fall on every nerve
the rage
the death of light
dam those
unchristian christians
blind woman out of balance
walls crumble
my country tis of thee
once dreamt of living free
blind justices
her tears
shatter as glass
nowhere left not to see
where blind justice
goes blind
hatred of women
sweet on the lips
white men
standing demanding
shadow cast
within a shadow
where beauty shatters
bones cast onto
a woman’s skin
not god’s
just a white man’s sin

walking circle refrain
walking time
blues unsung
dreams talking
rhythm without light
morning concedes to night
wind
if bleeds the mountain
yesterday
I touch
I see
I believe
the night sky sings
i dance
my shadows call
to the stars
mirror light
circle refrain

if a song is sung
in the rhythm of a song
where everything is wrong
if the sky isn’t blue what are the eyes seeing
i dance to the music
broken may it be
through the silence if you dare
yearning for
what isn’t heard
sing to me
what are you trying to see
but a deeper truth
unspoken
sing to me
looking for balance
but none exists
so if you care
never to dare
change
rearrange a life
for nothing is ever wrong
in the rhythm of music
when a song is sung
to one who belongs

ocean and song
sing me a song
in the light
in the long
quiet times
where you belong
song
carried by the
rhythm of it’s words
no rhyme
where the rhythm carries
sweet longing
where water meets shore
somewhere to be
where sand meets ocean
where ocean meets song
if you walk
with words carving truth
sweet dreams when you sing
as ocean and song belong

clouds sing her songs
dream me a song
shadow light
shines
she sings in silence
walking in her belief
what is right
what is long
where is her image
when the mirror turns
white to black
the sky dreams in
her imagination
in her image
clouds sing her songs
of light
of black to grey
what has she to
say
in silence she sings
songs of her long road
where white is black
where grey is the light
of what she sees
so sings in her song

dark moon
dark moon is rising
where man walks
without his shadow
what calls to the
other self
when gone
man stands alone
self has lost the image
an image who holds one’s
black to white
soul to heart
where sings the songs
words with balance
dark moon is rising
when
moonlight shines without light
