Call It As You Wish It

The guitar I play scores me
I the medium guitar the diva
Love this intense answers to no one
'Cause the cause of pain pleasure
Rarely soft mostly hard
Thinks with the heart

Opening notes lifts
Riffs stiffer tones to the finish
Free therefore equals no hostility
Run loose the cords Mona Lisa
Reality is merely one vision
on which the forest descends to feed

Us

This is America
who isn't a racist?
Still, we push onward
towards a better day.

A thousand years
there'll be no black and white
to fuss about.  We'll all be back
to being American Indians.

Princess Shower

Rain on my face she was and is
washed me of pie on my face
showed me strength through humility
Twice I am the man I could have only hoped
before we met and wed, a thousand years ago
now like clock work, she finds only fault
30 years an act of contrition

Base Line Blues and Sunshine

I plant discarded flower from the local garden center,
and watch them grow into queens and daughters.
This is to say, it's okay to be rich but it's far,
far better to be one in sentiment with the poor.

The Other Side of Gravity

You journey through a meadow
both luminous and shadowed
You welcome night's cloak
upon your shoulders
dressing your breasts
How scary the night
were it absolutely starless

We are always in need points of reference
The cosmos in us reflected
we as it are a array of particles and spaces
scattered wide yet compact
our thoughts are mundane
we wish we could defy gravity once and for all
That is heaven

Tricky Business

I lost my wife in the mall
I might have lost her to the mall
20 minutes before its closing
I figured I'd find her in the basement

20 minutes turned into hours
10 long tears for every anniversary
I have not found my Sue Ann yet
I fear she maybe gone forever

I dread answers not questions
Did the bride skip or was she napped
or simply spirited this I think
is not for me to reveal

Should we meet another time would we
could we fall in love again not knowing
who we were then for more than love is complex
reincarnation is tricky business

Quantum Mechanics

Since giving up letters the poetry I quarry
rock and pebble mountain side I terrace
for later wild flower profusion
I am a probability amplitude
positioned to collapse
my art, my prophesy
my property
