Pleasure

Drop by drop
System stops
Roll by roll
Main gate tolls

Thump by thump
Rotation pumps
Swing by swing
Night stars sky brings

Mist up and over
Valleys grind lovers
Sweat ring
Mind still springs

Water through
Drop by drops
End to preview
Bottom to tops................

Souls Crossing

Watch out 

That was close

Busted shout

At the most

Waves are crashing

Days are tossed

Knights are clashing

Desperate and lost

Maidens drift

Winds sail

Faults shift

To no avail

Souls crossing

Byways of rhyme

Souls crossing

All the time............

Muse

May mistakes inspire
A wish for your every desire
Sunsets and all the rest
But for the final test

What did you do
Who were you
How did you love
Was it it resolute

Pennies you saved
Dollars played
Delicate concern
For materiel burn

A pyre for some
A hole for
others
What do you say
About your brothers
Is judgment so great
That all along we hate
That neighbor we loved
Ourselves above

Draw the line
But not with my bones
You desert drones
Of my sands in time..........

FTBAS 6.4.14

Poets Dust

We reach for eternity
Never seeing past you and me
Death revolves around us
Trying to miss that bus

A poet writes with trust
Delivering oneself from the gray
A poets write is just
When there is nothing left to say

Your spirit lifted us
Words where your gift
So now into dust
In ashes we sift

Looking for you today
Besides ourselves in grief
As we bury your way
Into our belief.......

RIP Maya Angelou

Dances in utopia

A dreamer
A believer
A saint
A sinner

Ain't bee
We see
Complaint free
In jubilee

Satire
desire
forebear
quagmire

Comedy, tragedy needing
Hilarity taught everywhere
Character lye bleeding
Etched on the door

Love ain't opera
Fat women sing
Dances in utopia
Are not what they seem...........

Set China

Blown like shatters
Pieces flowing
Stretched in matters
Glimpse of knowing

Doubtless loathing
Composite friction
Winds blowing
Empty benediction

Flying on this way
Holy is knot
Kneeling to pray
To be or not

What they say
What they do
What they play
To be you

Marbles fell
Street foam
Mornings tell
First who's on

Chess played well
Set china bone
Depth closes well
When all alone..................

FTBAS 5.3.14

When Summer came to soon

Standing on the corner
Waiting on a train
Umbrella up
Under summer rain

Rainbows and pansies
Sights and views
Green lush fantasies
Coming through

Dark does only reign
Shadows play fate
Puppets of the game
Stayed up so late

To burn the morning
To writ the day
Forget I'm mourning
In this way

I most miss you
In all this bloom
Moments be true
In the summer that came to soon...........

FTBAS 5.1.14

Feinz

Dope peddle
Moist kettle
Bomb rattle
No one tattle
Institutions
Institutionalizing
Corporations
Cooperation
In the doctrine
Of commercial deity
Freely,
Battle buying
Death defying
Horror trying
Peace ain't buying
Shit went flying
Now we all dying
Smothering
In Cocoon
Mystery of doom
As only one light left
To best the test
Of what or who has won this mess!

FTBAS 4/21/14

In Blindness

We reach into the night
Feeling the cracks for a crevice
Holding dirt eons tight
Each handful like the past

Fingers bleed to numb
Faces in solitary plight
Tatters roll off the tongue
Blindness is the light

Numbness is our feel
Anxious bites remorse
Scabs easy to peal
Blood fueled curse

Blindness is all we won't
Light is what we forget
Heaven is what we want
Hell is what we get

In Blindness.............

FTBAS 4.7.14

If I should see you

In a place,
Shining of love,
Or in disgrace,
Down one street above,
In the lairs chair,
Weeping by degrees,
Flowing out there,
Is how one sees,
When one gets here,
Lonely and alone,
Doubt becomes fear,
Throwing glass at stone,
If I should see you in this place,
I will hold out my hand,
Wiping the pain from your face,
Come up with a plan,
Smiling with out a trace,
Of how may I help?
Or what can I do?
Thinking of self,
Just what you do?
Isn't " I am so sorry",
The only thing to?
We are not separate,
We are not one,
Cause I should see you,
If I wish for you to see me too.................
