Interference
To stumble upon a scene as this
Serenity waiting for human foot
None a ripple in stillness to see
Pilgrimage’ fruition, nomad eyes
Though to capture peace as this
A lens only the beholder may see
Desire for rising sun is quenched
Man’s noble attempt for memory
Devices define every sight past
Tell where our boots have been
To obscure such a place as this
Sun’s interference is all that lasts

Marigold Ink
If I sketch the sunset falling behind
Marigolds will do for its fiery dive
Peonies and Cosmos yet to find
To accent her aura rising above
Blotting out the darkened horizon
Leaving beauty’s glow to outshine

Lead Me
Seemed only tall shadows marked the night
I stood among them to arouse my higher sense
In search of one to lead me back to the center
Where she resides, my sweet muse immense
.
As if in disfavor of the moon for my sight
None a soul appeared to lead the way back
A sign perhaps that this one mustn’t exist
That the darkness, my isolation will persist
.
I squint through the canopy, squeezing light
Pin prick stars dot the spaces sparse between
They hold no answers as to what I would find
Mere pi...
In Hope
Thumbing through the pages
I hope you find the romance
The embrace you’re without
Wisdom poured from his mouth
May he erase your doubt
The lonely
Dispassionate fantasy
Never was your life
Spend it on the mirage

To Want The War
You want war, so take it
Offenders of the saints are everywhere
Enemies of good standing side by side
With war there is nowhere to hide
You’ll certainly find them on the news
Next door, neighbor whore
Side street dirty man sleeps
Easy pickings for your casual hate
Everyone knows bullets aren’t only lead
In this war no one will be found dead
Only in spirit, demeanor and will
Speeches orated by steamrollers and tanks
Seem to be lowered stakes
Judges with no pedigrees
Killing with higher taste
Fi...
Sips
Locked outside, hot sunny day
Thirst is growing, water leaving
Lucky it rained, skin was burning
Green thumb sore from digging
The lilys are booming, flowery
Leaves big as tropical bounty
Forgot the reason I’m outside
Sips to replenish, I remember
Dizzy wanes, it all comes clear
She sent me out here, my dear
Thought I might suffer the heat
But a clever boy never retreats
The way I said it struck me guilty
How she heard it was not funny
With a smirk, I submit and step
Outside in the summer...

Transportation
Around here, the local government often mentions that they are using our tax dollars efficiently. That usually means cutting out things that people need, first.
Since this picture doesn’t tell the entire story, one might be led to believe that the inmates are riding in the trailer, and not in the van that is pulling it.
I think this typifies one of their methods, if only metaphorically. :)

Beat Break
This is a song with no end, repeating, replaying and again repeating. The beginning is the end is the beginning. It is a loop of loops strung together with invincible stride and moderate pace. I hear a guitar and memorized its notes. There is a lazy bass line carrying the low end as if it would rather be anywhere but in the loop; the job is being carried out in perpetuity nonetheless. The beat has enough shifts entwined to hold it hostage in your ears but still comes back around and settles...
