Soulshine

Concrete perfection reached
In beginning was preached
Of lasting pain and loners
Dusty boots in empty corners

Memories of gritty days gone by
Talking shit and running dry
Whats that my friend?
Soul shined once again?

Mud fields at last
Haze dispersal fast
That gaze in burrow
Looking west tomorrow

Birds are humming
Trees are sunning
Shade heat away
For soul shine to play....................

In me

Mind a train of thinking
Heart beats of passion
Within my soul seeing all
On my feet I'm standing
Arms meant for hugging
Shoulders built for lugging
Hips love dancing
Fingertips for romancing
Eye stare blinking
Mouth forms worlds
Envy has them shrinking
Courage pushes me forth
Cowardice stuffed in worth
Silence fell on ears
Ducts roll out tears
Smiled at the lips
One I just bit
With teeth shining
Muscles a flexin
Blood is pumping
Sometime I'm dumping
Sleep is a whore
Showers are a bore
On water proof skin
Cold vs warm
Constant battle
Temperature gauges
All over the faces
Emotional system
Physical rhythm
Nervous system
Control monitors
Sleeping at the wheel
I'm me
Even still.............

Crowd in silence

In the middle of nothing
No room to believe
Stench of disgusting
Sewer gas to breathe

In a crowd of silence
Depending on social
Media of malice
On the channel local

Screens are scrolling
Jigsaw is naught
Friends are glowing
With nuclear assault

Cellophane wrapped
Pizza fed
Touchdown tapped
Silicone bred

Crowed in silence
Of empty screams
Crowded in silence
Of Utopian dreams............

Do Lolly

Down on folly
Rocking hard
Crevice wide
Super slide
Do lolly
Funky fellow
Do Lolly
Go mellow
I'm down my friend
Times just a need
Days just going on
How we feed
Sun breaches
SOB teaches
Corner preachin
Need some sleepin
Eye lids creepin
But I'm down my friend
Do lolly
Things aint fakin
Natures figs
I'm a eatin
Silent prayers Im saying

But at the end of the day
Do Lolly
Do lolly
Do!

FTBAS 8.5.14

Glow

Feel that slow melody play
Sweet sounds float from the street
The pavement vibes a sway
Bass thumping beneath

The band marched on
The crowd pulled away
The shadows are long
The memories of today

Glow in the wind
Glow in the light
Gone now my friend
Gone as your right

Its not the start
Its not the end
Its not the middle
Its when are apart............

FTBAS 7.9.14

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...........
