The Poet

Poets die a thousand deaths,
mere mortals die but once

The words then buried rise unclaimed
and spoke
—the darkness ends

Spinning / Weaving

Spinning light from the darkness
the loom came alive

From the ancient trails
of a thousand dark paths

There remained one thread
stitching into the night

Weaving all that has ever been
Weaving all that will ever be

Darkness

Darkness will never conceal,
—what loneliness can hide

Voice

The voice unlistened to
and then unheard,
—is a voice scorned

Location
Where opinions have a distinct aroma.
So much to say that isn't allowed here. Regardless o' that, I do like your epigrams and what you say with so few words.

Beyond

Beyond thinking, there is a
power of inevitability,
—that destroys decision

Now

The present is constantly unfolding,
into itself ....

Tears

Your tears fell,
raining drops of innocence
soaking my shadow dry
and squeezing my darkness
like a sponge
into waves of forgiveness,
where our meaning rides
like a lonely surfer
waiting, watching, wondering,
—and alone

(Ocean City New Jersey: October, 1977)

Writing

Writing pains my hand,
—as it eases my heart

Falling Leaves

Falling leaves mark the beginning
of nature’s fast,
—winter is coming

Hear her icy bell blowing distance
through your memory, as trees
half naked spot the ground
with clearer visions

“Oh alas, the winds of winter blow
captive from my soul
And place the stones in order spring
doth disavow
Whose cold reprieve an answer grants
in frosted breaths
To spread new life within the
heart,
—of natures womb"


(Seattle Washington: February 1979)

Forgiveness

When the spirit listens,
—the heart forgives

The Trap

No trap is then so deadly
as the one you set,
—for yourself !

Where bleeds ..........

Where bleeds a man’s wound,
—his genius pours

Linking emotion with the word,

Simplicity

The simpler it gets,

—the more difficult it then becomes
