"Mandala Man"

(Acceptance)
09/30/06

two eyes of equal curiosity stare back onto a face
kaleidoscopes smooth color into texture
two eyes wonder possibilities
two eyes are involved

there is peacefulness .. but no immediate answers
a burn victim's eyes pitting mirrors against reflections

"Steel Conversations"

09/13/06
(as) For Jimi

hell breaks loose in my fingers
sign language on the hearing endowed
soundwaves impaled on those impaired
translations, my vocals of, take care
and my mind, the rest, to share.

"Your Tunes Aint My Tunes"

09/13/06

the downside of iTunes^TM is just like one of those dreams
where you find a treasure in the sand and dig, dig, dig
but when you wake to find that the idea has felled your hands empty ...

pay online money for online songs or be put in jail ..
sounds like an american entrepreneurial dream .. exactly like one ..
a great idea backed by billionaires, managed by millionaires ..
dropped on hundreds- and thousandaires, tens and twenties ..

and there is no Zappa .. there is no Dead,
just pieces of incomplete artists, ideas lost

"My Understanding (Of it All)"

09/06/06

the light at the end of the tunnel was neutral
not blindingly bright in mystery
not void of sight or overcast
but natural-leveled knowing

i've been to either end of emotion's extremities
living --- dying ---
but life, in the end, didn't have an accelerator
peddle or brake
it was all me pushing for more than there can ever be

knowing that, in itself, is wondrous
-- life allows extremes
and life accepts you for less.

"Never a Poet Understand"

9/4/06

usual words, elegant swords
speak in meanings, not tongues...
not in blood ... Beaten hearts, lives seen ...
friends lost in forever,
friends kept throughout

elegant notes, unusual melodies,
other masters, ... musicians to us all
hold beyond their reach.. atonement,
solitude ... feeling tongues, hearts...
friends kept near

elephant ears, giraffe tongues
active minds eyes kept close....d
for purpose & reason
some soul's are not poets
nor musicians.
