Ivan the Terrible
within reach;
when to peace
random acts of love?

Artist of earth and sky,
my sky,
do you know rain,
the rain of spirit
of flight
in late summer days?

How soft are the tears
within summer’s caress
like mysteries of the ages
in rainy weather
and this rainy morn
my bleeding heart
waiting a lifetime
for love
awakened.

Take the day, break away,
when duty calls
but remember the song
and the fairy light and dust
we caught at the time station.
Memory traces
of conversations moon drenched
the planted seed
of light and star shine
in the cycle.

I’m sorry, but just this once
a desire to see
in playful imagination
new meaning
in the extreme ways of time.

Do you know me?
I’d speak to thee
in the most unlikely of places
this day
within a dream
a slipstream of words
until the flame returns
at sunset.

To be in love
and follow the moon
whispering
at the crossroads
in times of trouble,
the longest year
lonely
as a river flows.

Time – Precious time
the perversion of always
one man’s reality.
Dear God,
if I had a beautiful dream
memory tripping …
(I don’t know,
do you dream in rhyme
or in consciousness?)
I’m alive (again)
to gold and jewels of a rich year,
the scent of the moment,
and the infinite breath of now.

Between seasons
the panther awakens
and the heart aches
for bonds and meanings.

Oh, Goddesses of day and night
breaking darkness/breathing light,
darn the history
of self centered war
taking flight
into awakened memories,
a mistress betrayed
in an unbalanced equation.

Burn gravity,
hierarchy of unhappiness,
brace friendship’s blossoming
one more time …
between the lines
and snapshots of time.
Visions of grandeur?
Never!

My wish …
green fields,
at least for tonight,
chrysanthemums
and just a kiss or two
rebuilding sweet words
in the aftermath of the hurricane.
Games within games
to play
for what?
We all bleed the same colour

(To be continued)

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
