Blue Pill

Arduous beauty where thorns give
We see the hinder parts slowly
I know the truth
Tree of knowledge beyond Scorpio
Maligned in purple adagio
Perplexity and confluence
Origins Begin with angels
I can tell you nothing
You either see or don't
Love isn't hidden
Take the Blue Pill

So Long Jackson

scattered words on a canvass
Dripping paint
a bit of myth
Chance
Color
Curled up on in your head
a fire without coals

The bottle just about empty
Dead painter
Steel car with blood
Alcoholism is a decadent religion
Fame an empty seat
Fall leaves without a plan
So long Jackson

I Need My Friends

When the walls fall down what do you see?
When the anger subsides
When the pride slows its pace
When you see me in the light
Then you see tears
I am a broken man

I’ll try to polish my edge and be less rude
So please don’t take away your love
My family is gone I need my friends

Good Old Love

I am as tactless as a forest fire
The plains are burning and the elk run
The world crushes us all
Love seems hidden like a well
Yet love always can be found

When the fires burn
When the rain pours
Love brings back the flowers
The truth tells me to behave
And good old love forgives me

Greetings of Joy

Morning light like a cotton blanket
I can still praise after all these years
Gratitude walks with solitude
That special moment where things connect
Deep in the angel kingdom
Deep in the blue free mystic sea
Spark of a fire made of starlight
Timeless soul in forever love
Greetings of joy

Magic Ring

I need your blue eyes starring at me like elves
Do you love me just a little?
Running through the bogs
Hearing the ships and their fog horns
Your hair like a sea of love
Your face like the breath of stars
Dream tonight of a rose as red as Christmas
A rose I hand to you with a magic ring

One Circle

Like Monet seeing the sun grow in splendor
in color
in rainbows
She is a flower in the garden of moonlight
I am her garland
I am her trial by the tree

Love is an iris
Love is forgiveness

Let the fragrance become melody
We have reconciled
The wet dew upon the ferns
We are the one circle

It is so Simple

it is so simple...if you have health care for yourself and your family why in the world wouldn't you want your neighbor to have it when we are commanded to love our neighbor as ourselves? Should the church start buying it for everyone then? Mitt Romney represents greed, selfishness and evil

Coltrane

What was and what could be
The path of jazz
The sun bursts thru clouds
Blues sighing on city streets
Cryptic urban modern idiom
Strained American dream
Awakening on a thin edge
Spiritual like a broken totem pole
Tribal
Respectful
Innovative
Pensive
Cathar tic
Healing
Coltrane blows his sax

I Hurt a Dove

I hurt a dove
She landed on my sill
With wings of glorious heaven

She covered me with acceptance
Legitimacy
Made me feel family

Her soft voice volatile
Her pain exposed
Incantations of delicate identity

I seen her tears
I spoke of them
She flew away wounded

I call and call but she is gone
