Crowded years hallucinate
Of a missioner’s secret
Jogging through someone’s memory
With tons of bright red sneakers

Rounded years of winter’s sleep
Sustaining arms of tribute
Out of body handiwork
Knits a mockery of snakeroot

Cupping ethereal wings
Spinning dreams to music
Barking bitter loss of sheep
Who count storms acute?

Where hellish prisons dwell
Leaving flesh along the way
The blessed joys resell
Names the sea of summer day

Innocence cannot be returned

Those with tearing laden rage
Recompense arrears of warm desire
More then short-lived time can wage
To vow the days perspire

And oft the times plead with folded hands
To improve the trifling with airy forces
Swelling floods of living olive expands
Turning back to boldly rotting corpses

We are surprised to see footprints
Freeze in the sand
Listen, eating and drinking
Every chronicle beautiful

Innocence is the hope of belief?
Like moon skin caresses lovers
In hot pools of shudders
Stretching hot taffy of summer

I will share with you a nickname that I have had for you. I think of you as "Picasso Poet"!   

Another fine painting, Dear Poet!

Lee, this is wonderful writing..
each stanza you weave could stand alone as a poem.
Beautiful work!
Hugs~

Now while the leaves still dance on the wind
While the moon and the clouds come spinning
Will you whisper my name again?
Again..and again.

I agree with Earth Angel, you are an artist.
Wonderful write Lee J.  But it needs a title?
Ya?
