Gifts

Love walks by
In both directions
The dark and light
Of pleasure and pain

I open my window
Onto these moments
To find love being joyous
Of the time to flower

I move peacefully
With a certain smile
Through a garden-house
To the erupting volcano

I am thus drawn along
Into this meditation
With a close-reply, to
A thank-you note

A Void

Should I see if
You have collided
I would of course
Be undecided

I am offered
That there is
Safety in nothing
It caught my eye

Yet, for one
Who's passions have
Been burnt
I earnt little

Pacification
From serialised
Freudian-like
Philosopher's notes

I would prefer moats with
Drawbridges, or
Those Himalayan ridges
To their white coats

Vision On

From these city streets
Onto stars I gaze
Celestial Gods move
In mysterious ways

Into the night sky
I call your name
Conscience groove
The endless game

I am in dreamers work
Though with no fame
I ask that they respond
And do not default again

Question Is, Why Am I Attracted

You are everyone
You are here
In all, and in everyone

You shake your head
You lay on the bed
You dip your toe
I watch you slow
You are everyone
You are in all, and in everyone

You close your eyes
You look surprised
You pout your lips
I touch your fingertips
You are everyone
You are in all, and in everyone

You stand in line
You smile so fine
You run and wave
I choose to stay
You are everyone
You are in all, and in everyone

You sit and pose
You sense the rose
You wade and look
I am the brook
You are everyone
You are in all, and in everyone

Your dress unfurls
Your hair in curls
Your curves on cue
I once was you
You are everyone
You are in all, and in everyone

Working

Through skyscraper streets
Awash with fame
A zillion stars, amassed
Armies on the celestial plane
The night is clear
I call your name
You are so near
I call out your name

They move as one, mimicking
Passengers for the downtown train
The moment moved, passed on
They sadly dance to a quiet refrain
The night is clear
I call your name
You are so near
I call out your name

I hear the swirling wind
Tear at the husks of grain
I am but a country boy, caught
Out by an innocents stain
The night is clear
I call your name
I thought you were near
And, again I called your name
