DREAM

In a dream you come
on a whisper of mist
to be with me once again
because I am your favorite
enfolded in your arms
I feel safe and warm
and loved
like I haven't since you went
afraid to wake up
and lose you again
not knowing when
you will return once more
in my dream
you are still beautiful
and remember my name
I can smell your perfume
as you kiss my brow
and images blur to another time
when I was loved best
but like all good dreams
this one will end
I will lie in bed
hoping for a last glimpse
so I don't forget
and you slowly evaporate
into that other world
and dreams of grandma are forgotten

A SOUL DESTROYED

entrenched in the bowels of darkness
clarity reigns in sparkling grace
shining upon the slaughter of soul
desperately reaching for quiet oblivion
**
senseless we run toward
higher planes of self-destruction
heedless of the casualties
left to sweep scattered debris
**
hope forgotten, crushed in palm
crying in tender fragility
life has become a disaster area
but red cross wont be sending a package
**
someone blew up the bridge to Nirvana
and Samsara has been closed for repair
paradise drips with the blood of it's children
rocked for eternity in grandfathers arms
**
Shangri-La is burning
and no one gives a damn

DEVESTATION

Shades of green cloud my horizon
prolific jealousies dance to the tune
of an overindulged
consumer obsession
voyeuristic tendencies fueled
by my lack
of adequate material possessions
in a world where overextension
is the latest vogue
my inability
to stay in the fashion
of shallow obsessions
pushes me to the edge
of societal destruction
red haze functions
to mar viewed perfections
the beginnings of my rage
the end of my rope
in this mental invasion
of my neurotic devastation
.
My soul has been sold
for a longer line of credit

OLD BROWN SHOE

Cracked leather forlorn in the corner
ignored in dust covered neglect
it stands lost, it's mate long gone
remembering better times
a feeling of purpose, use
brown polish lovingly applied
in tender ministrations
places visited, concrete explored
now old, without use
the days of journeys have come to end
relegated to a patch of carpet
not even deemed worthy
of the Salvation Army bag
it's tears go unnoticed
