Beyond The Waterhole

Wandering in the desert

profanity infused me

Each word like a scorpion

the curses on fire

 

The sand an abrasive

the cactus a warning

The sting of my words

—killing prophet and liar

Sight Unseen

Immaculate perception

its vision so pure

Beyond all deception

adroitly demurred

A birth without legacy

an orphan unnamed

Judgment abandoned

—redemption proclaimed

Northern Winds

Storm laden vengeance

the Father has sent me

 

Each cloud a dark memory

the wind whipping through

 

Lightning bolts charging

the moment eternal

 

Excuses torrential

—in thunder’s adieu

Ghosts Of Tomorrow

The graves of my youth

lay scattered behind me

Each headstone a failure

endorsed by my hand

 

A shroud covered memory

encloses my history

Where ghosts of tomorrow

roam—haunting my past

Purple Cages

Trapped in politics

—victims we remain

Aesthetic Triage

Creating…

 the great savior

from pain

 

The artist…

 a messiah

from despair

Grains Of Sand

Catching truth in the light

or trapped by the night

 

The hourglass a prison

—as twilight falls

Becoming Tomorrow

You have to be young

to disappear…

and healthy enough

to fall into the cracks

of a new tomorrow

 

You have to be young

to isolate…

and strong enough

to brave the winter

of a new becoming

Leaving The Oasis

Greatness

is condemned to loneliness

as the desert calls

magnifying the instant

through the burning glass

unleashing its essence

in the fire of possibility

spreading old ashes reborn

—upon the sand

Breaking Through

If Sartre was right

and

“Hell Is—Other People”

then

Isolation holds the key

that

opens perception’s door
