"The Loop of Flight"
"To fly high" - my dream, my creed,
To touch the skies with endless speed.
Since childhood I promised to rise,
To trace the clouds, to claim the skies.
The birds I cherished, graceful, free,
Now hold a different truth for me.
They fly with no true place to be,
Just motion framed by destiny.
But I, with maps and dreams so grand,
Now confused, unsure where I stand.
What if the path I’...

Follow your fate
Follow your fate like it's a mystical path of promising wit; follow your dreams like they're a reality in a captivating fantasy.

The Ceiling And The Sky
In my innocence I was brave...
And knew no fear,
No boundaries, no limits, no doubts,
Unable to imagine my spirit contained.
The sky was open...
Then came that ceiling,
That flattened the top of my head,
And crowded my dreams with fear.
The ceiling was clear...
You could see right through,
Unwaivering and unmovable it sat,
Intending to crush my dreams, so...

Keepin it Real
The twinkle in the eye, a sly remark in the dim light, a healing notion in the otherwise sleepy evening. He lists down his likes for those to appreciate for those to understand for those who come by and see him take his stand. His stand for reality, his stand for imagination, his stand to take a stand, his stand for the good of man. The plan is simple. Be good be decent try not to fuck up too muc...

Let Roses Rain...
For me, there should be roses raining,
A sky of wonders, never waning.
The world should twist, turn on its head,
And all its worries left unsaid.
At sixteen, I dreamt with quiet fire,
To reach the heights, to never tire.
To claim my place, to stand my ground,
With every voice, I’d make a sound.
And later, I longed for something grand,
To see the world, to understand.
Not lo...

Future Dreams
I wish from my problems I could be free,
And with contentment sail eternity.
I wish from all my troubles I could say goodbye,
And out of my window see them fly.
I wish my every day would be filled with hope,
And whatever happens know that I shall cope.
I wish during each day I'd be respected,
And not be forgotten, nor be neglected.
I wish that no more would I be bored,
And not again b...

Ballad of the Lovestruck Bricklayer
When I look at you, I see a future,
a place where our hearts meet, and
each day is a new chance to begin,
building dreams, brick by brick.
We start with the foundations of desire
and the plans for our love sketched in the stars...
Each word and each touch is a piece of a puzzle,
forming a home where love can blossom.
Life may be an unfinished building,
but with you, the construction n...

Eternal Dusk
In the twilight of eternal dusk, so cold and vast
Where the night stretches mercilessly, shadows cast
Wanders Conan the barbarian on a path so dire
Lost in the storm of a cruel fate, ensnared by fire
Shadows lengthen, dark serpents glide
Echoes of the past are screams that cannot hide
In the vortex of a destiny wrapped in anguish tight
The steel of his blade mirrors terror’s f...

The Train
It circles the city, looping in endless Ouroboros
The train does not pass through
People ride in unending loops
How they came to be on this strange train is unknown
They exist here without reason
There are no signs to say where you are
No way of knowing if your stop is next
Not until you're at the platform if you miss it, count
Try not to miss it again
The rule: take ...

Red Clay
My dreams have been strange
Leaping rivers give way to slick clay- red and thick
I wash and wash until I melt away
In that house, I wander, opening new doors and exploring rooms
Rooms stacked high with towers of books
My bed rest high above my head
Balanced on the book towers, so I climb
Reaching the top my bed is gone
It doesn't matter, I'm not tired
I leap cloud to c...

The House
It's a house of many rooms
When it first appeared it was haunted
Ripped curtains, torn upholstery, and filth
The house only had a few rooms open, the others with doors locked solid
I drove the ghosts out, even as they claimed to be family
Nightmares never last
A childhood holdover to refuse creepy dreams
Semblance of Lucidity
I know when I am Dreaming... sometimes
The h...

Tents in the Desert
The pounding of the rain woke me
As sure as coffee
It woke me
I dreamt of crashing waves that night
Howling winds of desert sands, thirsty for nature's elixir
I dreamt of tents cast in bronze and raw silk
The howling winds straining at the ropes
The smell of rain on dry sand
The clouds racing the moon
The pounding of the rain on the window woke me
Starting me fr...

Eternal Field
I one time dreamed a dream wherein I walked within an open field,
where every step a memory was, and every breath was poignant filled.
I saw each day I ever lived, they all bled slowly into one.
Each opportunity to give now stood a moment left undone.
I saw each thing I ever owned and tried so hard to justify,
but every effort woeful fell and I was left to wonder why.

Midnight
Can you grasp a piece of midnight,
from the furthest reach of the sky,
when it seems nothing has gone right
and there’s no reason why?
Can you see yourself from the shadows,
in the place you’ve been hiding there,
then come to grips with who you are
and finally breathe the air?
For birds believe they’re born to fly.,
each seed knows it will grow.
So likewise...

What Comes Of Dreams
Oh, why so many dreams bestowed
in young and tender years,
fall into drifting dust decay
then sadly disappear.
Are dreams to blame for broken hearts
and quiet hour’s remorse?
Or is the dreamer born of guilt
for veering from its course?
Are dreams unfair for rising up
to skies in brilliant hue?
Perhaps they take no time for thought
and ask too much to d...

Our Journey
Let's escape our separate towns together,
Away from prying eyes,
Where no one knows our faces yet,
And our love needs no disguise.
Let's camp out in the world together,
And I'll hold you through the night,
With your head upon my shoulder,
We sit watching stars burn bright.
We'll laugh and smile discussing hopes and dreams,
And make known all of our desires,
We'l...

The Cruelest Moon
There you were again
last night
Always dressed so well
exactly the clothes I’d choose for you
precisely the right smile
My dreams aren’t long enough
the scene shoots by
too soon
You come, you go
I long for you to stay a while
but you’ll never stay for long
Your wild mind, your hungry heart
yawn and snarl
before you turn and go
leaving me alone
Back into the night
you shuffle of...

WDINDOY
Why do I not dream of you?
The ocean grows darker, it's calling too deep
But I build a bastion of love in my sleep
So why do I not dream of you?
Why do I not dream of you?
A lawlessness reigns in the unconscious sphere
It whispers of fragments, a sense that you’re near
So why do I not dream of you?
Come, now let me dream of you
Let us run freely in worlds w...

Dreamland...
Life is Hard,
And Reality?
Boring!!!
So take my hand,
Let me take you,
To our Dreamland,
Where worries can't find you,
Fear can't touch you,
Light is all,
That can be seen,
Where you are set free,
To all those impossibilities.
Your Eyes closed in a pretty bliss,
Your hair, Dark as Night,
Tousled over your radiant face,
Your lips curved upwards,
In a ...

Summer Night
Night has descended on the fields
but a summer night never darkens, only shields
dreamers from the day's dull hold
as I am wakeful, bedded cold;
and the trees stretch into the faded sky
Night has alighted on my mind
but a wakened wraith can only stray, its kind
vanish as summer's dusky night flies on
as I am lost beyond my dream horizo...

Consequences
Because I have seen
such small glory as heaven found
Lit translucent in the wing of a dragonfly serene above the dark pond depths
Lit gold in the sunlit pelt of that one white cat still beneath the tree
Lit in Spring's faint skeleton of Winter's fallen leaf
Lit in the fractal eternity of each flake that floats snow down
and know the pain each angel hears
Held in a single seadr...

Before The Revolution
Angry nights of solitude
Blank faces of nightmares
Voiceless pain of memories
Everything is so crucial
Everything is so fine tuned
With each others like the
Ecosystem in and around
All are in perfect harmony
And I alone lonely along with my
Broken dreams and failed desires
Fractured faiths and buried beliefs,
Like the hermits walking on
Time h...

The Deep Secret
she was talking in undertone
like the old hermits of the
Buddhist Monastery
not to prove any algorithm
or to put forward hypothesis
of social revolution
she was there with her
gentle smile and her bare arms
moving like gentle breeze
not like the smiling bureaucrats
shaking the cold hands
before the secret deals
she was looking around

Imaginative Leisure World
Stood in the world filled with marvel
A place where it meets outside its box
Sky is the imagination; limitless and abysmal
Creative world; quixotic meets realistic, the mind is the crosswalks
Mountains that grows unnoticed
Gloats their colossal size and its verdant forests
However, gust carry the weights lightly and up like hawks
Flew beyond the barriers of sound;
Aloft and chases equi...

If there's a need to
Wake up from a dream
(If i am in one)
I'll simply close my eyes
And will go to sleep

Collage
The moon says goodnight
bathed in silvery light
As I turn on my pillow,
like a weeping willow:
my dreams hang so low
So I get mine to go!
But in the waking light
of dawn
My dreams have no form
Like a murky lake of glimpses
That teases, but never convinces…

Lost Love
To hold you in my arms one last time
To feel your touch even though I knew you weren’t really mine
To feel your lips touch mine and again feel your love
Hoping, dreaming, wishing I could bring you back
Hoping, dreaming, wishing to fix this shattered heart
But a touch, a kiss, my love wasn’t enough
You’re not coming back
You’ve chosen
And it’s clear now
Your love is ...

Sweet Dreams
no horizon
seas starved sky bleak
abyss where tubed monsters victims seek
thoughts like serpents
regrets black orcs
airless tides of fear where no one talks
scaly remorse
shoals of regrets
but no sane fisherfolk cast their nets
carnivorous,
my flotsam of shame
spins round whirlpools without a name
encased in lead
how can lungs breathe

Veneer
Every night I go to the dentist,
He's left the light on,
For me and the moths,
This kind of consideration is rare,
Like a happy medium,
Maybe it's exclusive to spiritual types,
Then again, maybe not.
It always strikes me how insane we are,
In our hopeful repetition,
We call it perserverance,
Like when a dog marks it's territory,
Is an accident,
Thinking tha...

Respect Women, He Said
Respect Women, he said
I remember my skin was tight coming in from the low of a Maine night
When she
When she
When she
When she
Discovered my claims of
I could walk better, I ain’t in pain
But she knew something other than how my words were arranged
it were the muscles in and around my mouth, sculpting my face
Or it was the bags under my eyes
She related to when ...

Moonlight Sonata
She had moonlight in her eyes
Starlight in her hair
Her smile became the sunrise
That burned away despair
She took me to the clouds
Weaved rainbows from the grey
And showed me all the colours
That life had on display
And under starry skies
Where galaxies unfold dreams
We ran into the cosmos
To find its hidden seams
But I lost you to the star...

A Dream Game (Poem)
Dreams of uncertainty
Light up the unsuspecting mind
Floating through the abyss
Needing to be fed by the void inside.
Forming a strange pattern
The illusion once affixed
Veers through the twisted labyrinth
Setting a stage for the hopeful to fall all over.
The heat felt is roused
By this fleeting moment
Mistaking it to be existent
Till it plunges us into a...

Praise The Dreamers
Give Praise to the world,
To all those who'd been here before
Who made this world so much more
Than it had been.
For each tiny change,
If it took years, months or days,
Was all part of the way
From nothing to everything,
So let's Give Praise to the world,
To all those who'd been here before
And maybe do one thing more
Because we share their dream
To make this world a better pla...

listen to her
inside of you,
that constant voice
knows you better
than anyone else.
she’s been there
when no one else was.
she knows she’ll never
steer you wrong.
she’ll direct you forward,
& retract you
from uncomfortable situations.
no matter if they say otherwise,
listen to her.

your lover knows another,
but she knows...

or
an exit out

woods filled with snow
woods filled with snow
I walked through woods
as they filled with snow
a winters walk to fill my lungs
with cold december chill
I came to a small rise
one that I did not know
where did this hill come from
how was I unaware
I looked for familiar sightings
but found none
nothing seemed identifiable
I walked to the edge of the hill
and p...

Coming Home
she'd faded to a cipher
a silhouette on the wall,
I took shelter in dreams
in my sleep I can recall
the girl she used to be
afore time did us part,
the question I pose is;
oh where is her heart?
no love fills her veins
smile a vague smear
harder than me, she
exploits the old fear
that she will leave me
like a thief in the night
my poor spiri...

A Reflection
The man in the mirror
No longer looks like me
His best years are behind him
There's nothing more to see
His daughter is a woman
With family of her own
The years now seem to fade away
Into the bleak unknown
Although I'll keep on dreamin'
Of better things to come
Sometimes I feel like runnin' free
Into the rising sun
A slither of a silhouette
Against a s...

Are Dreams Thicker Than Blood?
Now that all my dreams are gone
There's nothing to do
but carry on?
Dreams are as necessary to the mind
as blood is to the heart.
And what do we do if we are short of blood?
Surely I need a transfusion of dreams!

Dreams
Flake by flake,
the winter freeze
embraces her flower seed…
Asleep…
Beneath a blanket of snow
freshly woven…
She awaits
the arrival of spring…
In tranquil hope, she dreams…
Her heart will soon thaw…
Uncaring…
Unable to love…
The grace of her simplicity,
fhe beauty of her fragility
will flirt freely
with every single breeze…
With every sin...

To My Daughters About Dreams
I may not have so many dreams as I once had,
Some have been taken
Some have collapsed.
Some blew away
Some would not stay
Some started well, then turned bad.
But
There's a precious few that I can never lose, they go too deep,
I'd still have them till my very end, even if I forget how to sleep.
I dream that I would never cause another harm
I dream that I will always try my best
I d...

Just for a moment think.
Just for a moment dream.
What if this world were different,
If it isn’t as it seems?

We Are All Of Us
We are all of us children
grown up and making our own

still children

We are all of us dreamers
woken up to our own
reality
still dreaming
for all of that.
We are all of us lovers
in love with making our own

still loving
for all of that.
We are all of us seekers
stretching up to find our own
place in this world

Castaway
In the deserted island of my mind,
cotton candy memories float by,
followed by fog and bomber planes,
raining shrapnel of a painful past
and Nostradamus future.
I am tempted to retreat,
among the trees,
where no one can find me.
Give up my majestic seat
on the sandy shores of time.
Boldly I remain,
sheltered in plain sight,
like a hermit crab,

Don’t Walk In Anger
I twist in the night, in anger.
I wake in the morning, in anger.
I know the dreams are just dreams
but the aching is tangible,
it’s at the forefront that I can’t shake.
It’s too early to feel this way, with holes punctured through the heart.
A feeling that I’ve been used as target practice.
Congratulations, you’ve won…
You’ve robbed me yet again from waking with the deli...

Love Happens
Love happens when you least expect it.
When you have your eyes closed and are looking in the opposite direction.
Love happens even when you shun it.
Even when you curse it from the pits of hell love happens.
Love happens and it knows why it came and how long it plans to stay.
When it happens it takes you by storm
Love happens and with no words
Love happens and when it does

A bump in the night...
the voice comes to me
as a phantom in a dream.
as i write
the voice channels
from him to me.
laughter vanishes
to staring at the sea,
to the house
that no longer carries
his childhood dreams.
vacanies searching for occupation
from passing through stations
to platforms holding onto memories,
all of it comes to me.
in my internal screenplay,
is he the playwright...

Seahorses & Dreams
Have you ever seen seahorses fly?
They have wings you know.
Like us, seahorses flow
wherever they want to go.
They do it by camouflage,
we do it by pen.
With ink, even virtually,
we can create a world of our choosing,
one where everyone gets along,
no sadness, no suffering.
Smiling, dancing, singing...
A love story for the ages,
one that defies space and time,

Such Dreams as Stuff are made on...
Dreams are such strange creatures
Presenting vivid or
amorphic features
They steep your mind
in make-believe
Where past & present
Interweave
I'm in the woods
'neath a gnarly tree
Where friends of old
run wild & free
Friends who now rest
as soil or ash
Or who simply faded
into time's elapse
But, I'm standing there
Fully gro...
