Humpty Dumpty (?)
Charles said
That Rain Cares
I for One
Chilled out in Aire
To One Stuck in
Royalty – as Pawn
To Bishop – sequence of
Starrs – D-lite of Men
Struggle w/your Heart
And it shall keep your
Peace
In Model of The Infinite

The Leaf
That Dies
In His Heart of
Hearts He Rested as Leaf
Springing Here, There
Alone and Happy Summer-
Time Leaf of Love
To the eternal mystery tree~
sunshine drank Him in
I could not gaze toward what was
pure under the leaf
I and the Leaf Brothers forever
Smoke and Sunshine and Flowers
These Three!

Life In
The Circle
Touching
Angel wings
Has not been easy
Touching Art as
love
Has Been Sacred (!)
My own feelings
Arched
Over in to speaking Magic
Have Left me Superficial
Have Left Me Like
The
Sacred Drums
Cold and un-caring
Whispering my own faults
To Grandmother
My own Response
Arched in to Being
Have settled into My
Stomach
And now reside As Love
Calls
The Greatest Mystery in
A Frozen Cycle
The Greatest Day of A
Single Year
Taught and Untaught
Frozen and Thawed
Beginning and Ending
Chosen to Die
As Bird
Of a Yellow Streak in perpetual
Flight – Not caring Any More (!)

The Gold That I Wear
Around My Neck
They say That Only
Cafes can count The Words
you say
That only The Birds
can
fly backwards
In the coffee cups
I watch out the
window
And see the world spin
Rhythms
So many beautiful
Thoughts
Engaged To me and
my coffee
Say to Me Dear God
How many you’ve
chosen
To say the Magic
Words
Of a coffee
cup, a Paper
and a walking Life
In Harmony
with All Life,
Total
Beginning
Nectar of Her Nectar
Time of My Time
Stand motionless
for
Me
Breathe me in
Into your self
Roaring wave That
you
Are
The Weather of A
Thousand
Life Times
Waltzing into A
Drowning Diamond River
8-1-007 Wednesday
She Looks At Me
She looks at me
Wild hair-flowers in her eyes
Spark of the Golden
Sunshine
Mist of the Golden Sun
I began to talk
We Stop together
To Listen to the Art
in our Words
The touch She
Studies
into my body
Has started to Rain
Rain from then Pure-land-Flower
Another Rain from
Another Day
Lifting us as two
drawn together
By Our Numb Art
By The Only Bridge
we’ve Ever crossed
Two Lights on A
Beacon from a downtown
Planted in Your eyes
Planted to Spread Love
In my union with a page
That spoke You Name Daily
As match-stick men
We saw your Divinity
Eyes on a Page
Aglow
Eyes that Have only
yesterday
Eyes That rapidly
dance away
Sun has come now
Lay down your land
Speak my Name
Of Silent-Thunder-Eyes
Till We Both Cannot
Breathe
Even Now
Even Death Stares
Land-star-island
of many
Beginning to
Revolve
All our Beginnings
Of Sun
08-08-2007
When I Sleep
She
Sleeps
She Started as A
Whisper to my Heart
She Slept Like A
Lady
Many Times ~
Never Parting ~
I understood her
Rhythm
Her Own Map of Mind
Her Own to be Had
on
An evening of it’s
Own
She stands Silent
Now
Her Eternity inches
from my Heart
Scanned from Both Sides
She Looks At Me
I Respond with
A Kiss
Of Loves’s first
Taste
Of The echoing
Heart
Of Youth in ecstacy
Of What a Will
Knows
to Have Grown There
To Be the Eternity
To Be an aching
Dream of Pictures
Only she can Fill
Touch Me Deeply Now
Be Not Afraid
I am You and You
are Me
8-22nd ~ 20007
(Shar’s) a Wednesday Evening
The Sun of
The
North Man
Heavy in
The Sky
All eyes Watch The Sun Walk
Walking into it’s
Path
of Mystery
Is a comet
Breaking it’s stride
with Life
The Silent Orb of
Yesterday ~ Tilted Like
A Stop Sign
Matching breath
with
my tree
Whose roots become
as man
And in the Heart
of the calming Woman
The vines grow
Deep into Night
A tender Wall of
Riddles touching the
eyelids of the cave man’s
calm being
A Full Circle of
Delight
developing in His Beard of
playing
Playing into the
Night
with what’s Left of The
Golden Sun of Ram’s Horns
The Delicious
mystery upon
Her lips
That only Now creates
Murder on A Page
That Only Now will
Sing One Song
To Stop catching
Her Breath With Page

What She Wore
Last
Night
Deep in Her own
Darkness ~ I see Her Light
Chasing me Down To
The
River of Her Life
Chasing some Wild
Man
That didn’t know Her Name
But…continued to
Love Her
Continued Like Water Fall
Touching Her Dreams
Lighting Them on Fire
Reaching out, as I do
for Her
She learns My Name
Learns that Real Men
Just Don’t Speak
They Learn
And Learn to Love
Her in Her own Strength
To Abide There, in A
Tree Of Silent Brush
A Brushing off of the
Cold Between Us
Off All Words in All
Languages
As She Spells love
Between Us, For The Thousandeth
Time
Chasing me Like Dymond
River
A Total Waltz of Her
Imagination For us
Beginning to grow into
A Bird
Settling down between us
into A Spell
9-19-written – 8pm – 2007 it’s about love
She Was The
Moon Light
Tucked between Her
tears Was My Soule
Of Silver-Gold and
struggling things
Of All The Mystery a
Woman was Made
To Wet my Eyes in the
Middle of Ecstacy
Cast about by my
Own Love of Seas
A threaded Touch of Cold
Motion
Lake of My Lake
Her back yard
Of black woods
She the Stolen Kiss
of Day
Comes to my lonely
World with the First
Touch of Winter
Lags Claim to
struggling words in her
Arms
And Adds Chapters
To Books yet Written
I swim next to Her
Mind
And Settle there
Nesting Like a Black
Bird
That Stings Like the
Valley of Her Heart
into the Day, Sun Arrives
Marking old paths
To Her Love
She says:
I am the Moon
You are the Sun
We will kiss
until all stars
close in a mighty
Hiss
Never.
10-10-007 JB. 9:30 pm wednesday It’s about living
Abundantly!
The Life
That goes
And Goes
i watch
as they
carry me down into the
street
calling my name of Gold
calling upon the Creator to
send His Blessing
I am full of Love in
this moment
for those who put me here
who believed
who did not care that
i was wrong
that loved me anyway
i pick up the pieces
of my broken life
and put them together
for myself
and Tell God He was
right
That only He could
Care for me
Could love the man
they called Impossible
10-16-2007 7:30pm ~ a Tuesday night ~
I’m gonna make the tune to this song up now
Screaming Electra
Refrain: Saw the Sun
call my name
From Blue Smoke
From the Blue Smoke
of time
Saw the Sun
Filter Love Down
From Blue Smoke
From Cloud Nine
Saw the Sun
Scream Electra
into Blue Smoke
the Blue Smoke of Youth
Saw the Sun
in Your Eyes
Turn to Blue Smoke
to the Blue Smoke of Love
The Sun is Setting
Into Blue Smoke
Reminding me
Of your Love Forgotten
To Refrain –
to be sung 10-18-2007
Refrain: Saw the Sun
Call my Name
From Blue Smoke
From The Blue Smoke of Time

Amazing Grace
(adapted)
Amazing Grace
How sweet The Sound
That Saved
A wretch
Like me…
I once
was lost
But now…
Am found
was Blind
But now
I see…
I Saw The Sun
Set Down
It’s Light…
and Save
What it could Not…
I Think
that I
Have Found
What I
Have Seeked
Beneath
His Soule
And when We’ve Been
Watching Skies open up
I’ll send
The Love
That was…
His Heart
All over…
You and Me
To Touch
The Soul
We couldn’t
Save
Amazing Grace
How Sweet the Sound
A wretch
Like Me…
I once
was Lost
But Now
Am Found
Was Blind
But Now
I See…
Thank You!
Written 11-14th-W-2007 7AM
I’ll write this poem then the 2nd one will be impromptu and related to the one first one that’s written!
Thanksgiving Marbles
In the towne that walked
on Stilts that Thanksgiving
I walk The turkey Home to
the brood of talking
Talking turkeys lined up
like Christmas
So far that their heads
bobble and jump at their
own sound in my ears
Trumpets of an age when
songs were sung
and gifts passed out
Passed out so that Turkeys
could walk freely. Filling their
pockets w/gold (!)
Some day Santa will ride
a wild Turkey home to the
sanitarium
And sign his name on
the walls. And watch as Rudolph
brings his tray of Food
I’m alone now in my mind
a sign and a signal of
Christmas and Thanksgiving love
and care on an island marked
for not for profit time
thanks tommy tears
now i’ll fashion a 2nd Thanksgiving poeme impromptu associated w/the first one ~ i hope!
thanks tommy tears
