Dream Time Poetry

‘tis neutral shades that rule the day
like women who are known to be
without, within, and round about
the dictates of a mortal life.
The colour swatch of passion, grief,
awaits a willingness to be
pushed and pulled and swung around
the totem pole of happenings.
There is no wish to ride the wave
of wanting, needing, wishing for
a better “this”, a grander [...]

The sea came in from way out there
where love’s a stable entity
to tell of many grandiose things
and the beauty of it all.
But the shore possessed of seashells, grit,
and discarded human garbage
could not absorb or understand
the sea’s need and wish to be
the bearer of good tidings.

before the toss and turn

Not yet but soon to be a prince
the one who dubbed his mother “queen”
and served her with the humbleness
of ordinary love.
It is and always has been
the core of ordinary

And in that day of everyday

But still she cried within the feel
of what means more than goods [...]

So the tree man and the witch
cuddled up in bubble wrap
safe and sound cocooned within
a world meant just for two.
Sadly so the time will come
when hands of flesh and bone
will destroy their paradise
and place them in a strange place
cold apart alone.
They will move according to
the dictates of sheer ignorance
and pretend at their contentment
from morn until [...]

She didn’t stop to look amazed
at the progress of the flame
from slow to fast and furious,
from loving to indifferent,
and from belief into the chasm
of uncertainty.
Instead she stopped to look amazed
at the wind of happenstance
that reduces love’s tall stature
to the likeness of
liquid candle wax.
Breathe! She breathes and yet the wind
moves quickly out from deep within
into [...]
