You left me blind
From one long glimpse
your ultra violet
radiance
burned the minds eye
A supernova tide
All sensation gone
A dark delight
your bliss.

Deeper than the night,
a sightless oblivion,
the color of my soul,
beyond darkness,
eater of the light,
hypnotic beauty,
lurking in the shadows,
trespassing across the heart,
the color of silence
and nothingness,
and a glimpse
of unseen
visions.
Next: Emerald
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe
Jealousy is green
Or emerald when seen
With eyes turned bright and mean.
He won't forget.
And so be on your way.
The grass is green today,
Emerald, one might say,
When it gets wet.

he had been purple for a while
his hand raised so as to say wait, wait
a little more, a little more
but he was gone like Poe's Leonore
that pizza with anchovies did him in
the internist had predicted

Alabaster will not last
If left outside with rain to wear.
The wind abuses it out there.
Its form will change then wash away.
That's why inside it gets to stay.

Untitled 2
Treehugger, spike in hand,
castoff from a rock n' roll
band meets
Chainsaw-teeth, he with
muddied boots
and hardened profile,
in a bar; a tatoo haven
for mavericks and mavens
.
Amongst the stale haze
and staler music that
blares and decays -
declaring a half-life
of better days
A conversation is
struck ( then a chin: Amok! )
the starry-eyed strangers
oblivious stare
Exchanging lies, belying
the small talk
of a higher purpose,
( tables roll, bottles fly )
A gun reports - to no one
in particular: Most heads start
... one falls
.
What might have been -
a genealogy never ending
topples like dominos
laid in a row
An alabaster casket of white
bereft of dreams,
is lowered slowly, a solemn strain,
as Chainsaw-teeth is laid
to rest with few in attendance:
even fewer tears
.
Somewhere Treehugger sighs
and searches within -
then carves a poem into
a redwood tree that never dies

who am I but a stitch in time
what if I were to bare my soul

While the truncheon may be used
in lieu of conversation,
words will always retain their power.
Words offer the means to meaning,
and for those who will listen,
the enunciation of truth.

such glam
is moon

Live in the sunshine. Swim in the sea. Drink the wild air ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Silver bells and silver linings,
Silver prices trending where?
Silver bullets for the vampires
Just in case I find some there.
Next: gold
autumnal aspen trees
of white bark and golden leaves
awakened
on rocky mountain breezes
dancing like weightless gold coins
blue sky glitter
Next color: faded blue-jean blue
(a benjamin moore paint color)

She's worn a little at the knees
from blowing my bugle,
faded blue-jeans blue (reminds me of Madonna in that 80s film), Oh no Oh Billie Jean,
no no she's not my girl,
but still, sometimes I like to call her on weekends
for mutual fun.
Oh, and the boy is not my son.
