It's been a while since I've posted anything other than concerts. Perhaps this is due to the fact that I have been wicked busy attending said concerts. However, thanks to my new Treo I am able to write poems while at shows -- how's that for efficiency?
#1
Beyond the streetlights
the sky is a luminous bruise
calling me to the sea
of far away wild tides
and waves crashing over
unknown voids
#2
Truncated connections
never knowing truth
in others behind projections
What in the world of others
is so feared that protection
is needed even from lovers
Who am I to say I know those
nearest and yet so far
hidden 'neath caustic clothes
#3
Lost crowds wandering
aimless in mazes
zigs and zags lead nowhere
circling meaning but never
closing in
#4
How many conversations
can you have when he changes
for the worst
What can you say
when he turns away
leaving no path to follow
abandoning all he held
with himself and others leaving
nothing in the wake
of his desertion
#5
Green irises seared
so deep in to my wide
eyes in the most fleeting
eternity and now replayed
behind these eyes that saw
searching for missed moments
but all before me is green
like the swallowing sea
