Be Here Now - Ray LaMontagne

This song really puts me at peace. BE HERE NOW.

Ryan Adams - Words

I could not agree more with this song. What are standardized tests anyway?
Its only words...

Life is Good

Night Owl

You were restless,

Like a night owl

So I let you

Fly away

Towards the silver moon

And the bright stars.

The sun:

Lethargic from the darkness

Stayed hidden behind the trees.

The evening ebbed on

The mountains tops

Of youthful yearning

And deadly desire.

I shut my eyes

And fought your dimpled grin

And the goose bumps

Forming domes on my skin.

The winter air

Wrapped its arms arround my waist

And tugged on my hair.

Like a snow angel,

I fell to the ground

Waiting for new snow flaxes

To cover the lost time.

But, the crisp air

Bit my senses

And the wake of your presence

Burned the soles of my feet.

The cayote wind hollowed

And the over cast clouds laughed

At my wishful thinking….

Two Souls (Angelina)

C'est bien!!

Inspiration Today

Some inspiration for the rest of the day....

Holly Brook - Curious

This song is beautiful. I just found it on you tube. enjoy...

My Childhood Facination

This week I went to a writers workshop.  For the prompt I had to write a poem about shoe laces and robots. 

                I stare down at my shoelaces:

               A pile of slithering snakes

                Slinking along the pavement.

               

                Looping the laces

                With careful precision

                I smile at the chaos:

                A last reminder of childhood bliss

                And the creation of coverse.

                I marvel

                At the tiny white strings:             

                The corset of my sole.

                Shoelaces are like abstract art:

                Is it a bunny rabbit

                Or a bowtie?

                               

                I sigh,

                No robot could understand

                My childhood facination

                With shoelaces...

Random Reflections

I was studying for Communications and I needed a break. So I came up with a poem to distract me.   The point is that its pure randomness. 

Slivers of the moon

Cut through the skin.

Glass eyes frozen by time

Sting the soul.  

The clock moves backward;

I take two steps forward.

Time skips a beat.

My heart wanders

To remote corridors

With blue musty curtains

Draping the windows.

Invisible rainbows

reflect gold coins in the twilight.

The taste of strawberry

Stains my taste buds

And I realize the words on my tongue

Have lost their flavor.

Divine Chaos

 

 

 

L-O-V-E

"Do you think love is a trick nature plays on us to make babies? Or do you think that it's everything:the only meaning we have to this crazy dream?"

-Feast of Love

Ryan Adams - Sweet Illusions

I love this song and the truth that it presents in any relationship. Its the inspiration for my poem No Nonsense.

No Nonsense

I followed the illusion,

And got played by time.

I rose me up like Ozymandias

And became a ruin in the desert.

Naiveté slit my throat
and left me to drown in assumption.

The piercing sting

Led me back to the reality of

Sand dunes and obsolete horizons.

Sweet Confusion and Broken Hope

Whispered nonsense in my ears.

And then I woke up.

Pictures of life

I took these pictures today with my friend at the College of Wooster. Enjoy...

You Can

You can play the guitar like B.B. King .
You  can write sugary nothings.
You can wear snake  curls on your brow line.
You can smoke the city to its death.
You can be mysterious as the night.
You can lock your stories in your heart.
You can live like your dead.

I can leave you alone.
And time can give us peace.

Hunger

Growling, gurgling, grasping,
The stomach pains for sustenance:
A sweet honey sickle,
A hot zesty chili pepper,
A ripe, succulent strawberry.

The purging passion

Plays with the aromas of yesterday’s horizon.

With hands wide open,

 It reaches for the sky.

The array of colors

Rests upon the water

And the senses

Fade into the sunset--

A masterpiece of delicous desire. 

Quiet comes

With the darkness,

And the frozen ripples of the river,

Yearning for movement.

Moonlight chuckles from above

As the silence of the evening

Is punctured by the

Hums of the humming bird

Searching for a mate.
