" Display"

 Display

For some, the secrets of the heart

A difficult display

Through a life, right from the start

You know more than you say


You blaze and, then, transcend display

A shelf-life lived in days

And, so, I rhite it on the way

Expose the mythic maze


A little isolation

That was bought at such a cost

Defining all creation

Bringing refuge to the lost


I realized, today, that I believe in you far more than humanity.


I think I'm back at it, again.  Just know that when I rhite, I'm rhiting to you.  I think I can accomplish that without bouncing off the walls.  There's always a first time.


I didn't spend an inordinate amount of time on this rhoem but I like it.   Mostly.  Doesn't mean I won't tweak it.  A bit cryptic.

"Arc"

  Arc

I wander down the the arc of time 

Each heartbeat rhythm to a rhyme

A riddle ringing through it all the while

The answer hidden in the depths of smile

The pulse of life beats wings upon the skies

We both achieve the arc, the wings let fly

As we gaze into other's eyes


m

"Blazing sun"

 Blazing sun

Sometimes I think I wander through the woods

Of mind in desperate thought of do's and could's

Because I've ached for many lives before

To love you deeply midst the written score

Of wonder of the cosmos that is sealed

By loving so transcendently revealed

As in the love of two becoming one

That blazes in the night as blazes sun

"The will"

 The will*

I ponder all that's happened one more time

The depths of view and meaning in the rhyme

As all my worlds begins to break apart

In final sum of visions of the heart

Love becomes a power on its own

Ferocious, fundamental cornerstone

It breaks upon the world in undertone

Removing all the angst the wind has blown

To wash upon the sands of distant shores

As meaning of all life it underscores

To wash away the contretemps of ill

That compromise intentions of the will

"Galaxies"


Galaxies

I thought I knew of rearrangement long ago

But, this, oh this, enough to stop the show

A rearrangement every way

No stone unturned, no moment stray

Converging thoughts have blown the lid

On all I was and all I did

No remnant from the past now holds me still

Each thought, each pulse, each gesture with a thrill

There is no scope for what this does portend

Nothing left to fight or to defend

All doors are opened wide, all life unpinned

All life's potentials carried on the wind

I blew apart what held me down before

Pinned its ears and kicked it out the door

Arranging pieces there, upon the floor

Choosing carefully, forevermore

All the pins and needles cast aside

That someone stuck in me to match their stride

But, galaxies are matched more to my gait

And, loving is my fundamental trait


" Sky"

 Sky

As if my mind were scattered 'cross the sky

Sensing all of life without a try

She blazes, incandescent, on the fly

In privacy of home, she stuns the sky


Compared to what is blazing in the skies

A nova flare, a whimper in disguise


The secrets of the heart are often shy

Too bright, in blazing wonder,  for the eye

Of almost all that tender for the try


From the sanctuary of my heart

I blazed right back in glory from the start

"Change of weather"

Change of weather

I sense it now upon the air

A wisp of something fine and fair

I feel it while I'm far away

To light the darkest, tawdry day

A sudden change of weather

So many senses do converge

A rite of passage, psychic urge

The wonder of together

My lack of doubt may baffle you

My heart and soul both know it's true

No chance of change of whether

I often hope, by standing firm

It buoys you from stem to stern

I'll wait for change of weather

Through days, and nights and lifetimes too

A steady hand to steady you

I'll wait for change of whether


"Foundations"

Foundations

As my daily life riffs through the deck

Of all the feelings, circumstance, and wreck

A dizziness begins to take its hold

Acceptance all too often; seldom bold

The time for boldest actions in the past

I riff on through the cards until they cast


Foundations for the one in whom I bask

Stable as a rock is all I ask

Revealing deep within the loving truth

Relieving rage and loss and lion's sooth

Arms that hold her tight when is required

A solid, rocky mountain that is fired

To bring a note, substantial in it tone

That rings across the heavens, not alone

I began reading this just as I was considering an approach that I would like to attempt.

"Thoughts and dreams"

 Thoughts and dreams

Riding every wave of life and care

How wonderful, I feel you're always there

Silly it may seem, for sure

That every time I open door

I expect to see your grace

As my heart begins to race

The sound of phone, must be your ring

A passing car, your presence bring


I love your reign

How remarkable it always seems

That you remain

In all my thoughts and dreams

"Windward"

 Windward

I couldn't ask for more from you than what you always gave

The thrill to life, amidst duress, you caught the wind to stave


I'll woo, again, another day

When that wind is on its way

That has always been the need

When you and I and life are freed

While wooing you in ages past

Intent was always been to cast

My life as yours in all the lives 

Through all of it, this heart still thrives

Both future and those lives well gone

Awaiting always the new dawn

Of love as it is spread

From heart unto the head

Before us like a golden field

In which you never need to yield

But love me only because I deserve it

"The fountain"

 The fountain


More patience than a mountain

Or a sparkling silver stream

Trickling from a fountain

Pouring love of life extreme


I will not bide

The waning tide

I will not cross

The albatross

On way to loving dream


The ripples from the fountain shake

The ways of life, a cresting quake

That carries on beyond this life

Past pain and ache and sudden strife

The fountain turns to steam

Within your loving arms

"Ocean III"

 

I walk along the border of the ocean and the land

A split infinity that always offers something grande

Along another border of infinity and spine

The fire alights along with something fine

Whether it is lit with only revels of the mind

Or, consummated in this life, I find

Unswerving faith in this infinity

And you

"Raffishly"

 Raffishly

It seems that once I start the poem train

It makes of life its own, begins to reign

Releasing thoughts of you without restraint

Precluding slightest effort or complaint

Becoming nigh impossible to shake

It pours out from my blood and bones, awake

Reaching transcendental, hit the brake

As if all life and love were now at stake

I try so hard to give it lightest touch

But, always, it comes out a bit too much

Chagrin and rolling eyes becoming vogue

Spiced with feelings of the raffish rogue

But, there beneath the tentative and fright

Remains essential thoughts of pure delight
