Saviour - apr nineteenth ‘25

Let your soul shine through baby
Let your lightning strike eyes
Gaze upon the dead and buried
Let their bodies come back to life

Walk among the weary
Touch their hands
And speak your words
Let the air you breathe
Fill their lungs

Travel the peaks and valleys
The white frosted mountains
And dry dessert dunes
Feel the weight of the world
We'll place all our sins
Upon the shoulders of you

Take it all from us
That's all we'll ever give
Resurrect yourself
Absolve all our endings

We'll wear you around our necks
And make weekly sacraments
We've forgotten your work
Your message
Now it's us against them

There are a few who've stayed true
Belief in you came before and since
But it's hard when we're drowning
What faith can remain
We could teach ourselves
It's easier to shift the weight
When salvation comes from within

Ache - apr sixteenth ‘35

I wish to stay
You will me away
A pulse remains
I'll bleed either take

I am fierce
I am fearless
I don't mean
Carelessness

A cause and affect
A break or a test
Trusting you
Trust in you
Don't lose respect
I'll hope for the best
And silence my self

Distance can't end
The truth miss
Understand
Time heals what skin
Breaks scars fragments

I'm dull
I'm sharp
I'm together
I'm apart
I'm fast
I'm slow
I'm a lesson learned
Regrettable

You've left me outter
I'll ache either way
So make my wish
Inner space
We'll ache together
We'll ache in the dark
We'll ache together
We'll ache to dust
Add matter to the stars

Calling - apr second ‘25

Call it like you see it
Call it what you will
Calm yourself down
After calling me out
Silence breaks my falls
Over under all around

I'm waiting for a line
I'm waiting my turn in time
I'll keep falling
You keep guard of
All of the faces
That can't be seen
Right wrong
Inside and out

Call it a line
Call it timing
Quiet the crowd
I like what I see
I will what I believe
Just call because silence
Just breaks me down

They can all see
They can all believe
They're all patient
Watching waiting
What face will you call upon
When you see what I can see
Will you take down your guard
Or will you take yourself out

Silence breaks my falls
Can you hear it now

Lifetime - apr first ‘25

the fire the calm the storm
all that came before
here and now
two timelines crossed
a temporary bound
going going not forgone

all the glances
and the dancing
all the friction
and the grasping
all the heat
and the steaming
all the breaks
and the breathing
the bound and the bounty

every strand that falls
every line that's drawn
from what was once
and what will still become
is just the definition
of a lifetime still being written
so why filter out truthfully
reveal the living beautifully

Prey - mar twenty-sixth ‘25

All the trees in the forest are spoken for
All the dogs track and trace for you
All the deer scatter
Prance dance and sound alarms for you

All the water in the clouds
All the rain that falls
All the rivers lakes and ponds
Shine shimmer and reflect for you

The sun rose along your side
The moon carries out your designs
What could it be
That needs hunting

You could shed your bow
Hand over your arrows
Turn your back run
The huntress hunted
But never to be caught
Your art is in the chase
Leaving space between
But between still remains

Pick up your bow
Draw an arrow
Practice your shooting
I'll be your target
Perfectly sighting
You already have it all
What else is there
I could give your more
It's as much in me
As I belong in your nature
Designs to be carried
As the sun setting
Shines shimmers reflects
Pond lakes rivers collect
All the fallen clouds
Dancing prancing sounds
Scattered deer
Traced and tracking hounds
If you listen
You can hear the trees speaking

Wagonner’s - mar seventeenth ‘25

you took me for a drive
north across state lines
up a mountain climb
i couldn't look over the side

an outcrop of rock
we took to the top
and began to watch

i'd never seen such raven hair
take to heights like climbing stairs
with cold stone seats
extra fingers warmth i'd share

we packed to travel not so far
to nourish for a short while
guides and enthusiasts alike
regs travelers gazed to the sky

a local sweet tooth was passed around
so we split a ring indulged sugary mouths
all week we spoke of a bird with gold in its name
a flying treasure to be found

when skies were calm
the near gave us a scene
in close quarters furried and feathered
you shared your voice speaking sweet

a treasured eagle took to flight
we searched to catch a sight
you went to ground to look straight up
i saw your joy your wonder your beautiful light

Arches - mar eleventh ‘25

I told you where to go
You took all the turns
And made your way home

The traffic
The lights
They'd all be defied

The warmth
The kind
Would be returned
Aligned

Bridges held up
Cross continental connections
Firm foundations in fertile straights
Arches wrapped
Tethered
Embraced

You told me how to turn
And I took you through
Arches make bridges
They make smiles true

We took together
I found home soon
Arches traced the sun
Arches traced the moon
Arches between
My turn in to you
Arches between
You turn in to truth
Arches equations
We're full proofs

Don't stop here
Let's make more bridges
More arches
To cross time
To move space
Wrapped tethered
Embraces

Illusionists - mar sixth ‘25

I thought I had known magic
It took time to see the tricks
So I took some turns of my own
An axel spinning guns and roses

There's no slightness
To your delicate hands
Slender fingers leading my eyes
To wherever whenever they can

I've been cut in half
I've been pulled apart
But when they cast the lights
I'm full I'm hole in your spark

They tried to drown me
In cages made of glass
But I learned
When they called me Harry
I could break out of straight jackets

They tried to drown me
In cages made of glass
But I learned
When they called me Hairy
I could breathe fire back

The only thing
Made to disappear
Was themselves
True masters of the dark arts
While I was still standing
I never needed to return
I'd always been here

I did know magic
I've been casting spells for years
But I almost went the way
Of a deafening silence
Now I'll use my own illusions
And bound in multiple volumes
My magic's the truth

Tigress - mar fourth ‘25

i was born with stripes of mother's scars
you earlier from a land with flag stars
both wild and free

i came across continents
and you never learned to swim
but let's take this dive
from the jungle and the plains
a luscious combination
fruitful vegetation gained

we'll do more than watch the weather change
we'll make it rain
cause with me
i bring
the monsoon
and with you
you are
the heat
the calm
before all we'll storm
we'll claw and scratch and bite
we'll hail from the sky

we'll move horizons
we'll prowl in the night
after everyone else has fallen
we'll feel each other rise

we'll hunt
when we gather together
we'll tear flesh
blood sweat tear drenched
from the jungle from the plains
stripes all the same

before all we'll storm
we'll claw and scratch and bite
we'll hail from the sky

we'll move horizons
we'll prowl in the night
after everyone else has fallen
we'll feel each other rise

we'll hunt
when we gather together
we'll tear flesh
blood sweat tear drenched
from the jungle from the plains
stripes all the same

Firsts - feb twenty-eighth ‘25

The elves made something sweet
Treats we shared apart
Kick-started conversations
Next to conveyor belts

The rainbow unicorn held things up
Buckled back a falling man
Who was keen to rise again

You're a Phoenix
Seeking out peaks
Two tall trees
With a waterfall between
Drenching refreshing
Succulent and sweet

A taste to be given
That time had softened
Hardness lost to be found again
In return tendered a kindness
And hope for future
Cookies white lined
With toasted light chocolate
Shared to be the first time
But not the last
Flavor to be familiar
Heats rediscovery
Shared to be the first time
But not the last
Flavor to be familiar
Beats recovery
Shared to be the first time
But not the last
Flavor to be familiar
We share together
Keeping elves unicorns the Phoenix busy

Cleaner - feb twenty-third ‘25

you have to save yourself
before the world gets done
you're the biggest miss
reds aren't you the lonely ones

a decades time gone
it's not lost if truths revealed
but the pace I have no buds
left to taste
or wounds to lick of yours
I'm tired but healed
from lies fed to a child
your delusions concrete seal

you've built walls
houses homed the many
left one habitat
you'd think plenty empty

but no it's crisp
it's bliss
it's weight lifted
lessons imprinted
strength reclaimed
truth ordained
memories branded
words understanded
it's toned it's lean
all's left clean

you have to save yourself
before the world gets done
I'm the biggest hit
brown sugar
with the sweetest tongue

you have to save yourself
before the world gets done
I'm the biggest hit
a self savior
devour the down
looking up

you have to save yourself
before the world gets done
I'm the biggest hit
I am the every one

you have to save you
before the world is gone
be the best thing that ever happened
to yourself before everyone

be the cleaner inside yourself
and the world will have its followers
you can be the lead
getting the world clean

you have to save you
to yourself before everyone

Sweettooth - feb twenty-one ‘25

We could all use some sweetness
To savor a flavor
Give our mouths something to cherish

First it came from cane
In the indies of the west
We traded in triangles
For barrels of rum
And Enslaved breathes

Then we extracted it from trees
Taping trunks
Maple birch sometimes beech
Humans being syrup suckers
We're all human leeches

Now we've come to corn
Modified molecules
It's all natural
A surplus of gasoline to burn
And our waistlines
Continue to surge

That was about my time
A tiger making things great
Spoonfuls of white crystals
On frosted flakes
And endless bottles
Cans cabinets and basement
Filled with the carbonated Classic
But it came with a hand
A quick back swing
From frustration
Leaving an iron liquid
In the back of my throat
Or nose dripping

We've all needed it
To crave a flavor
To cover intoxication
To justify bondage
To magnify
And enlargen

We could all use some sweetness
To savor a flavor
Or cover up the sanguine

Wildfire - feb thirteenth ‘25

It takes more than rain
To put out a wildfire
Like a suspended thought
In a state of denial

Arm in arm
And around the waist
Wrapping the wide world
In a matter of space

Caught in a corner
All taut with flavor
Sharing true words
And learning their nature

A tall walk toward
Inside heat seated
A spark and a smile
What a fiery greeting

To know our truths
Words needn't be loud
There's meaning in stares
I have no doubt

It can start in kind
And continue with numbers
Nearly get lost in a lot
There's irony in wonder

It takes more than rain
To put out a wildfire
I'd rather fan the flames
And feed shared desires

Fate - feb tenth ‘25

you can run any which way
but you'll still find destiny
why battle with
a predetermined enemy
it's a compass needle
spinning in true ordinations
three-hundred sixty degrees
with no separation
you can question you can doubt
but the silent realizations loud
bend the metal break the glass
magnetic strength opposites attract
not written in tablets of stone
but the definitions
soon to be known
forward progress a reflection
experiences past
too weak to break a mold that's cast
yes maybe no
you cede control
it's freedom paralysis
but who determines it
not a creator almighty
or a design of intelligence
willful ignorance bliss it isn't
but a burden carried
through to the end

Leadfoot - feb eighth ‘25

Wherever it was I was going I was well on my way
Then you came along and you made it accelerate
I was completely whole on my own
And all my friends said take it slow

I had all the feelings
I had all the thoughts
But giving them a voice
I could not

What's love
If fear of a friend lost
What's truth
If its reality's cost

I may have mentioned the attraction
That a few months was like a life known
You nodded your head in agreement
I took it farther you felt like home

I had all the feelings as a lump sum
I had all the thoughts as a trauma dump
I was burning gas moving fast
Couldn't find the brakes to pump

Your bright eyes
Your smile wide
We spoke of birds pollinators and the trees
Season shaped stars now whose the tease

What's love
If its an empty space
What's truth
If its what you create

I'm still moving forward
Some day you may join in
I'm not moving too fast
You can't see the whole thing

Uniform - feb fifth ‘25

I'd **** you
Make love to you
Everything in between to you

I'd give and you'd take

Two bodies become one
And it's nothing to do with
Reproduction
Unless you'd want it
Again and again
But it's new
Each and everytime
Cause matters of the flesh
And of the breathe
May have repetition
And rhythm
But no synchronization
With a past no we'd refesh

Do to me what you please
Show no mercy
There's nothing to do with grace
With no space between
Time would tick and clocks turn
But frozen heat bodies burning

I'd take and you'd give

You'd **** me
Make love to me
And everything in between to me

Staring here and ending there
Orchestration everywhere
You're fit to pick
And me to pull
Sounds of softness hardens
Belief we'll be able

We'd ****
Make love
And nothing in
And everything
Between

Luna - feb third ‘25

if you looked up at the moon
would you see me shining down on
you are too high but you cast lights
on my dark side only astronauts have flown
by at speeds surpassing sound but less than
what a vacuum could hold

i'm a mirror to your light
i'm the cause of the tides
i'm slowly drifting farther from home
but closer to your glow

giants of red after the main
supernovas before black darkness remains
white and black dwarfs of final states
you're all the colors in the matter of space

phases change after big bangs
i'm a rock caught up in your illuminate
stages of a continuum
paused on a horizon
an event of cataclysm

a moon caught to revolve not
for a green brown blue dot
but the light of the shining stars

i'm a mirror to your light
i'm the cause of the tides
i'm slowly drifting farther from home
but closer to your glow
i'm a telescope that shines your light
close

Sand - mar fifteenth ‘25

we didn't start out as rocks
something else had to stop
before we started small
and started to fall

nearly thirty years
when i began it
and you were finished

a winters wind
i needed assistance
is it spring yet

i needed leveling
put my back into it
your were coloring
green and fiery

grains in glass
continue to pass
i'm still waiting
i'm your patient

grains in glass
continue to pass
i'm still waiting
i'll be patient

grains in glass
continue to fall
we started small
we're growing on
i'll be patient

Fang - feb ninth ‘25

we climbed a mountain
crawled in a cave
retraced the steps
of a goddess
demon devouring
leaving paw prints

I remembered the day
you spoke of stretch marks
and bellyaches
how I was the cause
for nine months
but the scars remained
pale orange and sky brown stains

you nursed and nurtured
after I emerged from the dark
encouraged and smothered
building up and pushing away
the baby teeth fell
I grew more with fangs

in time
I earned my own stripes
every scar tells a story
every word a finite line
there are moments where I roar
and others my silent stare bites

I prowl concrete jungles
woods deserts streams I tame
I ride dirt roads
blaze backwoods trails
the fearful symmetry framed

when I get long in the tooth
I'll come for you

Jupiter Moons - jan fifteenth ‘25

Out beyond the night sky
Where Jupiter and her moons collide
Darkness fills a void
Left by the dying of light

Layers of glass fail in focus to see
The distant faintness of gossamer rings
And blurry distant dots
I, a Beauty, Wide Faced, & Ganymede

A painted red centuries storm
Signs of lifeless energy burn
An atmosphere of thunder
For law and order torrents turn

Standing, shivering and hopefilled in the cold
Moments captured but unable to behold
Crashing waves beneath gazes above
A universal calling to light pretold

Out beyond the night sky
Where Jupiter and her moons collide
Go experience with open eyes
The brilliance in the darkness

Everest - mar twenty-ninth ‘25

For a time you captured my rain
And then came time to migrate
But you weren't finished
No you continued to shape
I was lost in your shadow
A forever winters weathered peak
Cast me cold and fearful of heights

I settled in distant valleys
That once reached higher
Than the place I knew before
But where peaks are masses of nothing
They make mountains of molehills

A dark drama continued it's telling
I decided at a young age
It would stop with me
Turned round tragic comedies

I was drawn to nature by the hands of friends
And eventually my own lead me to seek
Movement exercising walking dreams
This would make time for a while
And homes never forgotten
When light captures frozen moments
Fingertips hand holding it's framing

My nature changed
Arranged by comforts necessity
Fears manifesting anxiety
Weakness had to be overcome
Strength rose
To be found again
I had a mountain within
And to familiarize myself
I sought the nature of wings
Aided rising above the valley

In time those distant mountains peaks
Will disappear drifting to the sea
As small and far as the eyes believe

Tell Me - mar fourteenth ‘25

Excuse me miss
Where do you get your groceries
Do you like dark meat
Or are you sticking to poultry
Do you buy things in bulk
How do you keep them from spoiling
What's their dairy like
Is it locally sourced
And what of the prices
Have you brought your own bags
We've consumed too much plastic
But not you
You're true
There's nothing fake about you
You speak for the trees
Like the Lorax
Unlike Radioheads song about these
When you get hungry
It's not about consumption
No you're starving for realization
Of your actions
Matching where your mouth is
And what your eyes want to see
We're mostly lost
In the supermarket
Our convictions clash
Making the world worse
Maybe we could farm you
Plant you in the ground
And pull you out
When there's enough
You've produced

Excuse me miss
I'm changing my fashion
I need an aisle cleaning
I think you know where to find it
You told me
You were consistent
I'll bring my bags made of fabric
Changing my insides from toxics
Maybe I'll start growing organic
I'll call my mom
She loves me like yours does you
But she needs to know
I'll be visiting soon
I hope it's not too late
We need more examples
Of the world we want to see
I saw you first
So now see me
And keep telling me
Everything

Lighting - feb eighteenth ‘25

she's a lighting strike from above
if you bottle it handle with care
cause when it's opened
you're gonna get yourself burned

she'll leave the earth scorched
and at first glance you think it's bare
but in time the fertile soil breeds life
and the wolves'll return

lighting is the gift of life
a pulse of fire
a breathe of the wild
most men can't harness
can't always care for
but i'm not most and i'm full of care
no control or containment
those aren't the sentiments
of understanding
no i won't cover lighting
or drown out it's brightness
i'll fan and feed its light and heat

i'll crawl from the dark
i'll walk those lands
i'll dance from branches
i'll fly up to clouds
i'll fall back down
i'll be the sound
of thunder
a bottle breaking
shattering containment
the atmosphere the earth
is our safe haven
howls heard across the universe

Worth It - jan fifteeth ‘25

I will drown you in deafness with the depth of my voice. You’ll be left blacker than my eyes at the back of your hands. I will be your reckoning and I will make it worth your while.

Eclipse - mar fourteenth ‘25

in the darkest of hours
where silence keeps
most all dreaming

as circles trace the sky
and the faintest of light
gives way to shadows
magnified
i rose to take a look
and see some stars she spoke of

words shared in kindness
bulbs flash
a night blindness
a spectrum of color
hung from a waterway
i was drowning in its array

the sun can't be seen
i can feel your heat
all around engulfing
the sun can't be seen
but casts this memory
i'll share when you wake
from sleep

the sun can't be seen
i can feel your heat
all around engulfing
if you opened your eyes
you'd see the sky
and me burning
the sun can't be seen
i can feel your heat
all around engulfing
even in shadows
i'm bright burning
am i in your dreams

the sun can't be seen
but casts this memory
red orange yellow
circles flaming
