art equals goals….

when did you notice
the cutting edge speculative?
dislocated fiction, stacking big waves
drinking with the good guys
risk takers
bungee jumping into futile grasping
a bit schizophrenic?
knights of the templar with
quivering muscles of
some property of light
king arthur’s detonation of ideas
& celebration of life
awake like & living beneath a bridge

stories with dreams?
or dementia with
grown up perceptions?
elusive cozy wonders
wearing equal goals
i borrow your magical mind
in the twilight of fields
where strange creatures
live in some sympathetic
dimension called,
"the roof toppers of burlesque"
urging us to grasp
every fleeting moment
knowing it’s full name, it's nakedness
of lost dreams...

ports of call….
interstellar destinies owning yachts
in the language of myth…wandering around
the rim of some living volcano
planting magenta handbooks with golden dwarfs
the course is painful and the flints are sharp
but the unique palette in the middle is worth
the price of admittance,
from beginning to end

this lonely road,
and it’s warmth of friendship
is my interface that works
laboring behind the counter
on some green island
with tests that structure properties
and a sturdy book shelf...
expecting a second child
from some elite campuse
and when the world smiles
it is so playful, so imaginative
penetrating a history of angels
and the duration of hell

you are a wonder of words

Reading this, I felt like I freely buzzed around some other part of the galaxy, and enjoyed the trip even when I had no idea where I was headed.

My spirit will rise

There will be no drowning
of my soul or me~

Lee,
your images wisp all around me when I read your poetry!  I'm understanding more and more, I think, but there are so many layers, I probably have tapped but a few!  It's good to read your thoughts again.
