Last Night

I didn’t sleep much last night
my mind kept wandering as
it sometimes does

drifting in and out of dreams
to places I’ve been and some
not yet seen

the streetlight seems to be
brighter and I curse the light
and pray for sleep

shattering dreams
a time of reflection
mascara running down my cheek

Stardust

Stardust
speckles of light
pieces of you and me
vibrating into the heavens
our song

our song
vibrating into the heavens
pieces of you and me
speckles of light
stardust

Rifts and Shifts

The world is in a bit of a rift
as society and morals shift
how far will our thoughts drift
why can’t we just co-exist
pondering the work of a surrealist
in the garden a snake hissed
perhaps, dark clouds will lift
at least that is what I wish

Portal of Dreams

Natural Bridge State Park 

 Through the eye of time
we once danced beyond the clouds
my thoughts drift to you

Infinity

Ismael Nery - Infinity

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


How long must I chase the light
traveling space, time and the rhythms
of life…to ease this darkness of night

you’re always hovering in my dreams
is time something that never ends
just a kaleidoscope of changing scenes

seeds of poetry grow deep inside of me
branching outward to touch your heart
I learned long ago love has no guarantee

how long must I chase the light
traveling space, time and the rhythms
of life…to ease this darkness of night 

searching the infinite heavens for a star
one that can be trusted with sacred wishes
do life’s song end at the end of the bar

opening again in some spiritual musicality
vibrating into eternity pieces of what was
entering into the black hole of duality

Lively Rumpus

Rhode Island

 






 

 

 

 

The wild waves roll relentlessly
summer winds blow restlessly

    reclining in my Tommy Bahama chair
    breathing in the fresh salty ocean air 

        umbrellas tumbling down the beach
        overhead rowdy seagulls screech 

            creating quite a lively rumpus
            pondering all the magic 
            this day may encompass

Pondering a Question

Why do trees conceal
     the splendor of their roots?

              Pablo Neruda, Book of questions.

Why do trees conceal their beauty
the splendor of their roots
stretching towards the blue sea

pondering drinking morning tea
listening to the songs of a lute
why do trees conceal their beauty

from your first seed you drew me
tasting the magic of your fruit
stretching towards the blue sea

in darkness shadows appear gloomy
wilderness dreams become acute
why do trees conceal their beauty

underneath the canopy, do you see
will the forest greenery be reduced
stretching towards the blue sea

a being of complexity and rooty
one of a kind, can't be reproduced
why do tress conceal their beauty
stretching towards the blue sea
