If I am, suspended
Sleeping on purple heliotrope
If you feel too abject to dignify
Or descry there is still any slim hope.
...
Love is you wearing war paint
Is your mascara running or is it waterproof
Is your heart & soul fireproof?
Since the colour of our flame, turned opaque
...
If my heart were a gilded flower
Would I give it to the first bee?
To arrive embowered in light.
...
Her moods are like ever-changing rain clouds
Some days I just want to float with her
And whatever enshrouds, I'm happy inside
Drifting over oceans and deserts bestir …
...
A sailboat has no direction.
But to go wherever it-is-taken
drift or tides make no mistake
we too-must glide across this lake,
...
A child is born
And taught in ways to think
But what child born,
Hasn't character
...
A minute an hour is a distance in any bodies head/heart
When they're alone with their own expiry date
Thinking sadly, towards, their own end, their own death.
Laying there on some long-forgotten shore
...
A man carries an icon in his heart and more
He crosses the steppes in search of a distant shore.
He's a wanderer a rambler, lain up feeling lame
He goes to the end of the world to exclaim.
...
A childless woman is carrying my pain
Rapt in her own white shawl she's out in the rain
She's crying to a hollow that's buried deep in my soul
She's crying for a baby; guess simply to call it hers & hers alone.
...
Oh, how I wish Death weren't prolonged.
Where are you going to my heart of wonder?
Chasing gentian folk lightning-tongued
Now that the rising pain starts to thunder
...
