You Are

In the darkest corners

Of stippled nightmares

And foul, shapeless doubt

You are light

Eternal

My silver starshine

The Noble Pride

Where once a lion

Stood tall in heart

Now perched a raven

His sight stretching

Awaiting pure moments

That might never have been

Lamenting his family

Among the noble pride

Dreams

The dreams of yesterday

Are not tomorrows

Nor just things to be ignored

Steeping Memories

Steel blue

Ghostly curves

Steeping heights

A tea of clouds

The iris floating

Through a blue marble

I am Lifted

A pulling sensation

This magnetic force

I stretch like taffy

Fighting to resist

Like some cartoon

I am lifted

Off my toes

To gently drift

Toward window sill pies

Whirling Trains

Worlds of thought

Richly variant

Triple concentric

Inwardly ripple

Billowing constant

Senses clouded

Storming deeply

Small words

Let us just be

Upon this sand

Not you not me

Throughout this land

Not he or she

I’ll hold your hand

Nor us or we

Let’s be the and

Two and a Half Moons Away

Steely blue lasers

Shielded by thin glass

A dark earthy flow

Attacks at night

Smooth porcelain surfaces

Light the beacon fires

Ghostly Comforts

The ghost left behind

My shadow’s companion

On these quests

Abroad and internal

Cradles my head

Against whipping winds

That would see me fail

Reminding me fondly

Of what got me here

To this time and place

And what to do about it

Teachers

The sightless harbinger

Greets the sailor

Pulling into port

She shows the man

How to soar above

Crashing surf

And choppy seas

But the blind

Lead the blind

For the salty dog

Did not realize

The height of flight

Until his teacher

Had flown away

Clearing Jetsam

When this jetsam

A tide too high to stem

This vessel cleaves and splinters

This varied clumped debris

Orbits round like tired carousels

My head rises

To meet a new distraction

Dawn approaches

Hot glint upon warming waters

The jetsam sinks

Light pours over

The earth takes flight

Gap in the Rainbow

In sleeping ether

I am whole

You are near me

Penetrating

.

I wake with sour courage

Slump out of bed

Nourish the body

Toil to earn worth

.

An existence of sorts

Void of your color

Where green grass springs

Cold grey resides

.

Knowing your joyful

That verdant glow

Vivid light yet remains

Grants me warm respite

.
