Chariots of the Gods
[Waiting for Hale-Bop]

Swept beneath moonbeams as heaven alpines
Fields of earthly stubble
As night falls I find
Cold are the stars from distance afar
The chill past December
A night black as tar
Hidden above thee
Thy comet appears
Questing it's course neath heaven's veneer
Swept upon moonbeams as Hale-Bop awaits
The thrill of distant sunlight...
It's bold yet troubled fate

From Nights Alone

When hillside rains
Spark candle flames
As autumn weeps I feel
The winter's chill
Her pounding thrill
A mustang's will until
From wants and dreams what desire brings
Of distant words too real
The ache of man
Her biased plan
A life unloved
I feel

The Woodlands

Rivers like ribbons
As trout dance the day
A ballet of twilight as kite's swoop charade
Fallen nut heroes brown forest in time
A misty stream hollow as evergreens mime
Woodpeckers rapping the hinterland blues
Meandering bee's bob honey sweet dew
The patter of snow shoes wicked in stride
A beaver creek palace as heron's fish sly

A pump near my cabin
Rusted to red
As woods offer comfort
From the heartache's I've led
A burled squirrel on branches
Painted with snow a scurry of tails
As the righteous swept low
A veiled sky remembered as stars stir my soul....
Night hoarder holistic
Neath winter's white knoll

The valley of tomorrow...
Left as before

My Forgotten Dreams

As I grow older and memory fades
A natural condition as thought turns to gray
The dimpled and new I easily forget
Seared distant and old... I hold to the death
A painting from childhood locked in my mind
The forest dominion as games fun sublime
For all of the trophy's in memory's care
I miss the night visions lingering there
For when I was younger my dreams ran so clear
Passions recourse or quiet revered
The feelings so right as visions run kind
The nighttime glories...
Lost to a mind

The Running Man

Boston fleet harbor
As ships foam the sea
A shrapnel stranger
As marathoner's bleed
This eerie prediction as terror exclaims
From men of vile reason a wicked domain

For all lives are precious
All are the same
Though some lights burns brighter
Disparity's flame
A boy who loved baseball
A kind girl of dreams...
A dear Chinese student
Our anger well deemed
The daunted New England
As victims reveal
A tea party morning...

A murderers zeal

The Devils Minion

What comforts a child
From the demons of night
The neon blues and unearthly rites
What gifts of mercy would she gladly receive
Sired in the alley as she silently grieves
For days of sadness are left to the young
The orphaned from love
As evil slims among
What comforts her soul
As she tries to survive
A panderer ...as master
While she can only cry
Expired in the tally
As poverty knows of sin
The illicit ways of silver...

A weakness of men

Ode To A Fallen Petal

Tranquil red evening
As good fed the flames
Bewitching medieval... her sorcery tamed
The whimsical laughter destined to thee
As lonely falls slowly from moments believed
The unabashed fever as bodies entwine
The pleasures of loyalty
When kisses met mine
A girl for forever
Tender and true
The treasures of tomorrow...

The heartache she knew...

A Nights Plunder

On rapid rails of thunder
As stallion pulls in line
The bridled sane discrepant
Art forest grim and kind
Diverted by red raven
As rider clings from night
Between the raking shadows
A stallion stalls in flight
Slight dagger more of measure
From depths a forest curse
White birch and crashing specter
In blood he's clad no worse
Quick trot to bidden pleasures a fire shows at glen
So patient is the master
Whose lust has ridden grim
Pure dove as alabaster whore ministry belief
In lore forever after
The smile she shows...
Beneath

A Deadly Silence

Through out our mad history
As genocide reigns
The compliant to misery
As curled silence remains
The host to indifference
As box cars once rolled
Of murders Rwanda
Where men had no souls
A cleansing in Serbia...a family lies still
The vespers of innocence neath God's caustic will
A slavery in prejudice ...mistakes of the mind
No chorus to freedom as fear always finds
A pressure to look away
The promise of men...

An end to insanity
I only ask...

When

A Darkness Upon The Earth

Cast away shadows
The depths of despair
As sabres and missles crisscross the air
So tell me of gladness
No war to be won
From the troubled ambitions... a dictator's son
The dismal deduction a pretense of gloom
When the world is brought crashing
By a tick of the womb
What sails of kindness must I gladly pursue
To off set the madness
Of a dictator's doom

The Death Of Ambrosius

From wanting to honor his father and king
A rise death comet
A grave stone to bring
Recounting through time
As heroes prevail
The monument at Amesbury
As castle walls failed
The travel of stone
Across the great Irish Sea
To lay on his grave
In the Giants Dance
I grieve

The Majestic

Destined to rise
A wilderness of earth
Bred on the heights
A lone eagle's birth
From copper maize spirals
As nightime retreats
An ample of amber
On rouge majestic peaks
Prey to the wind a dimple May morn
A pawn to the dawning a rabbit from thorns
Brave the domestic threatened in song
As slight dapple stream hazily strolls along
Crested by hallows as canopy climbs
No raptor illusion as talons remind
Preaching the aces
The aerial steed
As mother sojourns...a hunger she feeds.

The Millions

Burning through history
As death rings his bell
The hallows of genocide the horrors of Hell
An Auschwitz gas chamber the bodies in rows
A pitiful wondering if God really knows
Herded on cattle cars as fear grips their souls
The insistent insanity on solutions final road

From victims left wanting
The despair that I feel
Of ghettos and murders the Holocaust fields
The images haunting the silent in mass
As chimneys churned madly with smoke and white ash
The solemn reality as violins play
A sadness upon humanity for the departed souls I pray

The horrors of genocide
The dread of this sin
An enraged agony the monster within
A mirror so wicked
The terror I feel
A gospel so grievous
The mad father reveals

A blitzkrieg in misery
As tears find me blind
The errors of ignorance
Forgotten in time
Hold tight to me father
For I don't understand
The soldiers who drag me
From my mother's hand

Little White Flowers

My heart is gloomy
Awake in this wonderland
Born in a stark room
I fear the tomb slumber land
Little reminders...will always awaken you
Look where the cold hook of death
Has taken you

Crying to remember
Though dear friends have forgotten thee
Placid dividers... regrets we fail to often see
Regal host Towers and the rightly on stage
The burning alive... its cold vengeful rage
Little white flowers
Who never ever offer you
The lonely terror
As I am sadly moved

A Looming Sunday

Death by silhouette the Hungarian charm
From droplets and flowers the crimson from her arms
Women resigning to eternal regrets
The needy forgotten from life's last request
Tangled in pity a quiver a verse
The forbidden are destined to life's lasting curse
The given have fallen to a razor's deep end
The terminally grievous alone can depend
On a gloomy Sunday
The hoisted in turmoil a weeping within
The familiar in coffins
The loss of this sin
A piano composes the mystic we hear
The rival stands ready as a rope ends the fear
When Sundays are gloomy and suicide reigns
The sunny days passing
A phonograph plays...

The Shore

From long distant summers
A New Jersey pride
The Ferris wheel towers
As carnies provide
A Seaside Heights holiday
The boardwalk a buzz
From carnival games and everything that was
Yonkers on vacation
The shimmering sea
The tourist from Philly
A summer breeze

Listen to the heavens
Warring down from the sky
A Jersey Shore horror a bandy tide
Shattered and bruised
As more than memories remain
From storm clouds in October a savage hurricane

A caller from the north met Sandy one night
The mating of destiny as gale lover's unite
The storm surge of the century as bay met the blue
From billions of barrels of pain on the move
On barrier islands awash in the mud
With ten feet of ocean the carnage and flood
The horrific destruction
The board walk a buzz...

No carnival games
Or anything that was

The Lost Boy Found

I am numb and nearly past caring
From the tangled web of life and it's bitter choices
All beauty and grace sadly lost to this lesson
That we must fly from life's grand hold and face the reaper
We become...we live...and then we die
All else is dust blown freely by the wind
Even my memories eventually fade
Voiced only in song or the ancient stone spire
For even mountains fall and repose
Till what is concealed lies exposed
And all that remains is cold revolving constant
I miss the green and fertile and new
The sunshine days with my heart full of hope and no end in sight
The distance within my mirror
Lost long ago
All this haunts along with the fact
That my ideals and self worth were based on my self image
Once younth slips away how can one be so lost
We are much more than the image allowed
This is the wisdom that aging affords us

A Christmas Past

Winged gossamer's till morning
As sleigh and reindeer gleam
A snowy winter slumberland
As children drift and dream
When presents lined the down stairs tree and Santa is believed
The ritual reunion the magic of this eve
Grappling with winter the reclusive flakes in flight
Of romance and the fallen on cobblestones white
A street car reflection as carriages stroll
This Christmas tradition
A snowfall for the soul
Twas peace don't you know
As winter greets the landscape
A holiday in rhyme
A child's birth retold
The treasures of this time

From Regal Desires

Hear ye folk of lesser years
The wail of war as death lies near
A forest romp and vestal dwells
The loss of fears and passions quelled
A duchess mirrored as prophets roam
The tale of magic and the English throne
When wizards hurried and castles lay to birth
The ancient season as spirits come to earth
No mere immortals as kingdoms arise
From the quest for greatness in other men's eyes
A distant bugle as armies entwine
The bed of fortune as lust is satisfied
To awaken from this dream
On a mornings ride
To pass by a Merlin
The kings ungrateful pride

The Dust Bowl

When families are forced
From a lack of grain
The Dirty Thirties with so little rain
Slight harvest to man to feed his herd
Or wheat to sow a farmers worth
When a plow decides a people's road
From the destined plains and revered buffalo

The storms of soil...the deaths from dirt
A fevered child as families cursed
A mad misfortune as our country wept
To California from dusty depths
From the deserted plains and slaughtered buffalo
As greed decides
A people's road.

A Sorcery Alone

Away from demons fire
As mortals cough and curse
The prophet of desire a kingdom unrehearsed
From wind and rain remanded
The clouds part at his sight
A princedom of the lonely
No women of his night
For abstinence is power
The young stand so denied
From damsels in a tower
As Emrys hears her cry
The shamble of a lifetime
While fear commands his soul
The woman oh so pleasing
A fortune tossed in gold
For berries grow in summer
As maidens pass on by
The loveliness of heather
A whimper and her cry
The course and often laughter
Found ringing in his ears
A blond as his disaster
When morning shows
So clear

Jimmy Doyle

I dreamed I was fighter
A boxer of the ring
A champion to people a poor man suffering
Spoon sugar for your coffee
A ray of bright sunshine
The death foreseen
Came in a dream
And preys upon my mind
For a champion is wary
The boxing bout to be
An eighth round so uncaring
As Jimmy met his grief
He fought so for his mother
Bloody silver for her home
Though he is dead and buried
So I will pay the loan

The Alaskan

Anterior to sunrise
As light shows beyond
From the treasures of czars or a caribou fawn
A dawning of amber with herds lit by hues
The radiant colors of a glacier anew
On spire trapped mountains as flakes and embers fall
The cleansing of the wilderness neath granite's oldest walls
A lightening of the forest
Ablaze in smokey plumes
As a mother survives the hazing in the wealth of her new bloom
Gross beaks sleep soundly in fine northern spruce
The lakes held as mirrors to a grey Canadian goose
As storm clouds brew in spades and the ancient timber succumbs
The whims of Denali a blow down begun
A howling of wolves as the weather starts to change
The ghosting of mammoths on the High Alaskan range
From a crusted embrace and resulted shadows
As a honored people trace this bastion of souls
Listen to a wharbler billowed up in a tree
The golden on wing as spirits soar free
Lupine diversions a cross arctic tern
As slue stream strolls along
Green moss and dwarf ferns
For a caribou baby hopefully understands a Denali springtime on innocent land
An alpine seclusion as sheep kept to air
While grizzlies kinged mountains and snow traps ensnared
The wallowed old moose snorts as she strays
In bluebells by morning and goldenrod by day
The bold hungry lynx..as hooves slap the sun
A splendor beholding
The Alaska to come

The Dragons Tower
{A Wedding Feast}

Roll midnight's running hour
Till death as demons loom
Crown pyres have a master
From dragons of the womb
Paint newlyweds to station
As shadows pass on by
Black evenings own elation
A frightening on the sky
The thirst for blood shall simmer twas death from demons lair
As marriage torches glimmer a mob as few were spared
Black talons own creation they seethe as raptors squeeze
A tame below with captors the bleed as victims plead
Beware the lizards ire
Tad devils feast has come
Commands a host requires
As dragons fed their young
A warring from the rafters
The storied brood so named
A tearing ever after for couples ground or maimed
Breathe fire for the ages
Winged captors on the sly
Black evenings own salvation
For those who will survive
A marriage at the station...that once was bright and new
The couples last relation
As bones left cold to view

The Ocean Song

From depths
A grand enchantment
The siren song of whales
A passage blue as pods breech to
The lyrics of the sails
Sing to me each morning as sunrise passes near
The mother rings
As baby clings and sorrow disappears
Breech water as a passsing
The vaulted tried and true
A music everlasting dear whales at night I knew
For sleep on the horizon
Is rarely silent on the waves
The motion as a mother
With dreams far given
Whales gave

The Civil War

Rekindled in Charleston
The Georgia State house
From farm fields Virgina a Tennessee route
With Jefferson Davis a
As the stars and bars survive
A Bull Run religion a Cedar Creek cry
The nation in alarm as armies collide
The dismal destruction
A strong Southern pride
From Sherman's potent chapters
Down sleepy magnolia lane
The Bonnie Blue flag
A people in chains
The rebel torn nation a submission of men
Born billions of times to slavery's sin
So spare the embellishments about glories of war
When the righteous at Frederricksburg
Bore the Saint Robert gore
A healing for our nation as centuries pass
Thought the images at Shiloh will forever last
From prayers in the Wilderness and death in the wild
The forgiveness never given Virginia's child
A Spotsylvania massacre or Vicksburg under siege
As Grant ran the gautlet and Sherman was relieved
A reverent walled Jackson or snapping turtle Meade
The Unions final quest for a lasting peace
A binding of men as cannon balls require
Brief sentiments from Lincoln and the Gettysburg choir
The army of the Potomac McClellan and Grant
Longstreet and Hooker the rebel yell chant
The falling of Richmond as armies reply
The dismal reconstruction as citizens cried
Please save the Union and all those concerned
An Appamattox ending '
The Confederacy burned
A cataclysmic ending as hatred begot
This chilling report
As an actor ....he shot

The Hustler

Parley the huster
A city all his own
Decadence till morning
A lover nightly prone
For all dim reminders
A circle of friends
Till sex in the morning then sleep until then
No real direction
Just a filling of need
The wanton behavior
A submissive and seed
Sold as a reminder
When a bed is never bare
The forgone conclusion a pulling of hair
Rapid exposure filling his goals
The lust passes slowly
A ravenous role

The Gloom

Avast ye restless sailors
Host sheets to the doom
For the Bounty is missing
Said prayers coming soon
As we pray for the victims
We should always be true
The sea as our sister a season of swoon
As we hope for our brothers
We should always be brave
For the tossed tardy men who couldn't be saved
So please hold out hope
For the lost sunken souls
The most and the hearty I'm told
As we gather together
Sing a song or a tune
For sandy waves glisten
A sea on the gloom

The Diabolic

Posting a passion
As lover's close lie
A river of fire
What Hades provides
From the coolly collected
The most and his vow
The ages of the ancients
What the shadows will for now
A subterranean world
At host with his queen
Of canyons and rivers
The present day scheme
Saved for sweet sinners
As lightening appears
A warning from Lucifer to fear

The Abbey Road Blues

Yesterday...
As this tragedy
Won't fade away
For I know that John
Is gone to stay
Oh... how I miss
Those yesterdays

Yesterday...
Paul would sing as the Beatles played
For time stood still
I know some would say...
The youthful mood
Of yesterday

Why he
Had to go
I don't know
He wouldn't say
Down some Abbey Road
Our feelings show
For yesterday...
Day
Day
Day

Yesterday...
Loving him was our game to play
Now it looks like
Dakota rain today
Oh I believe
In yesterday
Oh I believe...
In John that way

The Cave Of Galapas

As bandits fight
Across the field
Cold death for all
As tyranny yields
Rumble down footpaths
Of deer on the wane
Tumble through heather
A kingdom in flames
Trampled and wounded a prince on the mend
A lady of beauty a psychic as friend
Gold cauldron of fire sown venison brew
A roster of bats a spring on the ooze
Ascending Ambrosius a youth of eighteen
Scouting the landscape on country or scene
Returning to England his kingdom his pride
Hiding as Vortigern
Still rules the countryside
Black on a hillside till withering light
The riveting motion a hearth may unite
A stranger to visions as kindness appears
A cavern of pleasure as she draws so near
From potions well fitting as kingdoms survive
Lost decades of darkness till a whelp may arrive
Pause to remember as shear lover alights
Crossed blankets of crimson from mystical rites
The sensual secrets it's ebb and it's flow
The passion forth coming the prophecy told
A devils alliance with spirit's of night
The fathers regret as cattails must spite
From wept vows of silence as questions arise
The legend as child
A Merlin who cries

Gospel the preacher
A teacher of rules
The Bishop's foundation
A breaker a fool
The ruin of mind as character fails
A reeling host choir
As deception prevails
The indecent reminder of pedophile lust
A deplorable vantage
From a priest we did trust
When young boys so willing
Are led to the Son
As superior Fathers
Sow oats with the young

Hollywood And Lonely

With celestial duplicity
For the stars shall not always shine
A rustler review
The rutting on Vine
From sexual crimes
The hustler I knew
A slave to the callousness
Where the hopeful get screwed
Witness a man trolling the strip
A willingness only a young boy can give
No wonders of grace from hillside canyon walls
The flickering images a cheap bathroom stall
From the vulgar cries of passion
The desperate are shared
A Hollywood ending though does anyone care
For we run to forgiveness
Deep inside our souls
Till the all color close up
Reveals what we know

The Watery Ghost Of Key West

I've spoken of missing her
This lady of the sea
A whimsical madame
Of beauty believed
From Margarita sundowns
The Duchess of Duval
As a young man finds heartache near a ancient stone wall
For oceans are rising as ice sheets retreat
The eerily cornered on islands and streets
Of losing the past
This freedom and town
The island mood as steel drums no longer resound
Lazy afternoons with partners and drinks
The Green Parrot bar or Sloppy's I think
The bull with a birds eye view
As tourist abound
The corner guitarist with silver on the ground
A whole generation disappears with the tide
A coming reminder...

Of now where to hide

The Season Of Thieves

Burst to the senses
As sunlight reveres
The insistent sounds of summer I hear
A carpet of gold
When autumn deceives
A torrent of color till winter's sold eve
For summertime steals
The youth from our young
As innocence yields to what we become
From images cast a landscape sublime
The falling of cold
A passing of time
From winter's woolly march
As starkness proceeds
The falling below
A season of thieves
For destiny moves
As mountains collide
The binding of souls
A clock can belie
Lay for me passions the burdens of spring
The ravaging rite
To all living things
A river on flowing
The bank where I lie
As life steals our days
From seasons denied

From Sorrowful Lies


Tossed from my hearts home
This riddle I see
Red as in Rhone...the devil decieved
Waiting an hour
Till nightfall arrives
My dungeon abyss
The burning alive
For love lies amiss neath mountains of stone
As heartache survives the alluring alone
A coming reminder
As pain passes slow
Lost from my heartstrings
This riddle I learned
Bled like a rose
The devil got burned

The Ghost Of Hempsted Manor

What thrills the beast
A coming priest
As victims jerk till dawn
The cryptic scene a window scream
Of bodies on the lawn
For maids shall boast
Of knowing a ghost
A kiss beneath the cries
The naughty display carried away
A poke between the thighs

The Voice Of Love

Tell me of the pain
Passing from my soul
When a woman says she cares
Softly as a echo
Whisper to the wind of the kindness in our lives
From a lady to love
The joy of my life
For heartache it rages
As storm clouds emerge
The thunder of disappointment or a lightening of words
For in a desperate solitude
Like a touch newly bound
When kisses turn to motions
I'm blessed to her sound
To treasure for all time
Her lured romantic choice
This woman's
Lasting loyalty
The love in her voice

A Lovers Lair

From gargoyles chained above the flames
Of torches perched with moss
A murky steed the forest creed
A wind blown night and cross
Dark shanty town
Till word goes round
From heartstrings comes a yearning
An aching seed
A time of need
Given to thy learning
From forest boughs a lover's vow
For hard walls have a feeling
Of stone cold words
A lover heard
This woman too revealing
A dress of white soon lost from sight
When wantonness comes calling
A carnal road his worried load
The captured truth
A falling

Till You Arrive

No silence all summer
As lovers cold wait
Her passionate journey
When devotion comes late
A precipise rising nearing it's end
The strickened in dust
From worries and when
I know of the moonscape
As lover's must swoon
In Shakespearean horror
A slumber of June
Forlorned on this kind earth
With the knowledge come due
Of one who is perfect
In the essence of blue
So comes the connection
It's glimmer of gold
The waiting to rapture
As lovers unfold
A symphonic eruption of winter's told song
From a woman to envy
For she finally belongs

The Silence Of Love

When a stillness of evening
Becomes a restfulness shared
The quiet of calm for lovers unaware
As the epic of night is serenity's call
The salacious heights and shuttering fall
Whose name shall remain
Tranquil and dawning
As your warmth is never given
To another lover's longing
For no witness to this repose was cast from above
Two bodies at peace and the tenderness of
Be still my bleeding heart
As I move thee without a sound
A lady so near as we are heaven found
The evidence sincere
Without a single phrase or word
Of bodies in poetry
And the unspoken never heard

Little Brown Dog
{For Paco}

Little brown dog
He sleeps all day
Little brown dog
He ran away
Why oh why
I'll never know
Little Paco
I loved you so
Little brown dog
I'm sad for sure
Little brown dog
He at my door
