in our world

April 17th, 2013 § Poem #94 § 0 comments § permalink

 

In the world we live in

the world we created

the entire food supply

is distributed

for money

only

 

What you deserve to eat,

if you deserve to eat at all,

is determined by how much money

a person has

in order to pay for the food.

 

Food.

 

Food grown from our own earth.

 

Our obsession is a disturbing common acceptance

that directly contradicts any compassion

we claim to exist with…

 

…and it must stop!

the process

I am so intimidated by writing

there is always too much

and I feel too narcissistic telling you

the details of my day

the mountains and oceans

the quirks, heartaches and achievements

Aged romanticism

The relationship I know, one day, I will live in

The everything

I’ve read about, watched and believed all my life

 

That is what I want/will/have

 

What I think about, endlessly,

is the culture of personal sufficiency

joy/sorrow

April 14th, 2013 § Poem #91 § 2 comments § permalink

 

I am staring out my window

into the black dreamlike calm of the ocean

the hush of the whitewater massaging my nerves.

 

Joy

The presence of someone I have nothing but an impulse about

 

Sorrow

The reminder that her intentions are on a stranger half a world away

Ghost drifters

 

Wind sweepers

 

Dream floaters

 

Space gliders

 

Flying dancers

 

Ocular faeries

 

Shiloh’s silhouettes

 

Visual silence

 

 

The warriors of the rings

 

 

The seducers of the sunset

literary alchemy

April 12th, 2013 § Poem #89 § 1 comment § permalink

 

What is it that I do?

What purpose do I serve by

extracting words from my mind and

laying them,

sometimes intentionally, sometimes carelessly,

in notebook after book for my own therapy?

 

A house exists, surgery leaves a healing scar,

but do I matter when I dedicate every day of my life

to writing my ideas for a very small few to read?

always

April 11th, 2013 § Poem #88 § 1 comment § permalink

 

vulnerability

a weakness i wanted to share with you

i do not go far enough

i do not even push that much

 

when i create

i am always safe

there are words that i don’t dare put together

dances that i never take up a level

then up a level

then up a level

 

i have never dedicated my life to the studio
