Careless Words

Your Whispers Echo

Between the boundaries

of dreams and nightmares

your whispers echo

drawing me away 

from reality

into phantasmic

realms  

where truth and lies

walk hand in hand

Your whispers echo

where desire knows

no beginning

no end

Your whispers echo

where love is 

but sweet words

on angels wings

Your whispers echo

where lost lovers

paper the walls

with images

and old love letters

Your whispers echo

chanting love spells

in the shadows

of my dreams

Raven

black shadows cawing

circling january skies

picking at old bones

Dearth

each beat of my heart measures

your footsteps

as you turn around and walk away

from me

this time it seems it will be the

last time

I wind the old clock standing in

the hall

pious hope to wish and wait for you

to return

listening to the tick-tock of the

old clock

each beat of my heart measures

your silence

Spud Heart

heart of gold

apple of the earth

humble spud

Sunset

As day lies

cradled

in the blush

of evening pastels

Night unfurls

her dusky wings

Sweeping shadows

and night shade

gently gathering

the darkness

Alien(ation)

is there anyone out there

in the wide blue yonder?

do you ever wonder?

if there's any somewhere

in the vastness of space

why avoid the human race?

will they be coming soon?

or have they already been?

are they pink or are they green?

are they from mars or the moon?

did they leave a legacy

a hybrid, or two, or three?

Darwin's evolution

or alien revolution?

Stargazing last night and saw this fabulous rainbow moon! Do you believe in aliens?

Reach!

Through misty haze

where dusty snow lays

thoughts take flight

to giddy heights

Courting 

the delusion

the mirage

the illusion

Between the cluttered echoes

of human experience

the voice beneath the silence

whispers to the spiritual being

'Reach not high up

But deep within'
