Posted: 8/23/2009 12:24:39 PM | freezing in the Arctic....I'd rather not
bring on global warming and make it hot
easier access to North Slope oil
and permafrost converted to arable soil
the Arctic Riviera has certain appeal
well not so much to the arctic seal
but imagine a honeymoon on a long winter night
four months of darkness would be about right | |

Posted: 8/23/2009 8:58:30 PM | four months of darkness would be about right
buried beneath hard snow and thick ice
and reaching the edge of an earthly plight
to be torn to the sky amidst ribbons
of light; and like pillars of Venus,
*Agruuks now in sight. your lamp at my feet
and my arms full of you, your light
until midnight ends- inside will do ....
Inuit have a pair of stars that they call Agruuks-- Tarazed and Altair-- the two stars that are -though seen at other times of year- the harbingers of spring and are only significant at the time they project pillars of light toward earth, as with the pillars of Venus. | |

a masterpiece when its through

can mix or match the green and blue

some days I wake with the morning dew
others with memories of nights past
close nights of hot breath and sweat
some of finding warmth in your arms
too many nights my all I bet

and charge his steed over moat and wall
a broadsword in wait for any alarm
and a dragon to feed at the lady's call
rise from the forest and champagnes that may
a stout heart a clean soul to make thy claim
render unto the hell hounds what bay
and enter the goddess's temple un-pained | |

but from there you'll be cast away
For your soul to the God's belongs from then on
Heed the words that you hear me say
For the sins that you carry will be there no more
but the price that you pay will be time
And you'll sit there in limbo from that day forth
where forever you'll wait for a sign. | |

despite billboards in your face
imploring you the choice not to malign
the foibles of half the human race
that's why we're here, when all's said and done
the other half of a coupling to choose
why risk losing all hope of joining the fun

keep the burlap sack around
we'll try the three legged run, no fear

twister circles invite our touch
instead of sex standing up, our dance
contortions and contusions bit much

Now get on up off the dirty floor
I'm offering mine so lean on in
And don't be afraid to confess that sin
My lips are sealed, not a word will I say
For I'm not the one heading up judgement day
Some prayers and a blessing just for you and me
And I hope when I'm up there, there you'll be.

Grace lowers the steeple via the tree
And here I stand upon this solid ground
Earth churns under foot and heaven abound
When I look around the faces I do see
Are no different than my reflection
As it is now so to eternity

or is that interaction for self-satisfaction

whatever it is a shrew would do
I have to admit that I havent a clue
what it would be like to live like a shrew
or perhaps i would choose to live like a horse
for a horse is a horse, of course, of course (sorry, couldnt help myself)
to run across the plains freely, feeling life's force
so given my druthers, i would be a horse
(or perhaps, i think, i could be a pea.....)

trapped in lint between brain cells
imprisoned by yesterdays tears from
