Toward The Moon
To see your face shine so fair
Beneath storm clouds of darkened hair
To me is like moon shining through
A black veiled night in June
An evening blossom so fiercely raised
Unfolds tonight beneath your gaze,
It is my heart, a blood red bloom
Burst in love toward the moon |

Only Need
Whomever we love surely
Will one day hurt us deeply,
So very deeply.
For us it feels like heat burning
A hole through the heart
So very dark.
Why are we forgiving?
Love has no reason,
Only need.
Our love needs to be |

Inward Ocean
A distant call to freedom sounds
From land as far away
As America across an ocean
Atlantic cold and gray,
Is not the soul just as far?
And the voyage just as hard?
An inward ocean sailed across
To freedom of the heart |

The Poet
How can I say no to myself
When I am stronger than me?
Oh! to be compulsive
Is all a poet can be,
The businessman counts his money,
The self-denied is a priest,
The dog chases after desire
And barks off poetry |

Desert Canyon
With skin like shaded desert rock
Banded into golden bronze
That blends in tones of red and tan,
She reflects the canyon,
Where high above the river bend
She gazes out profoundly
Onyx eyes across the chasm,
My eye becomes a camera,
Which seers in stone a vision
Ten million years in making
More astonishing than the canyon cliffs,
The memory of her beauty |
