Skay Hour 6 Ideal day
Haiku
Whiffs of floral scent
fills the twilight garden path
A bird sings her song.
My view on what is happening now in the world
They say to greet Death as an old friend, but when we should greet everyone as equals before Death’s kiss. It took a war and it took a movement but still we don’t see people as equals.When they ask for more, they were moved and now it is needed for change to keep the balance restored.Balance and change is nature made and it has to be restored. But, at what cost? Balance and change is like a double sided sword and it can cut twice. It doesn’t take a nation to go from segregation to a warlord to restore the balance that needs to be explored and be recorded. To move a nation, we should look at everyone as equals and not focus on the sequels of our history as people.
Boom
Some days are like homes
Spewing bombs at the whole world,
Unable to blow.
My little finger
Is ashamed to write out pain
Or paint grief in blood.
I sometimes want to
Strap myself in ecstasy
Without any brakes.
Coasting With Consciousness
I frolic in the garden of gods and goddesses
with fairies and figments of my id.
I frolic on roads with lotus flowers and chalices of rum,
on pastoral roads with warm breezes, lack of scrutiny and amoral love.
I stand naked in moonlight mist with arms outstretched
defying smirking faces and complacent stares knowing full well
it is my own judgment that matters.
I have danced to a lyrical romanticism as my superego analyzed every step.
That sweet pantheism rebels the Victorian ethic
as it pushes the ideal into the lost dream where Arthur
wandered and Prufrock lingered with Selwyn’s yellow eyes,
wasting away in early decay.
Birds are fed by the earth, free of karma.
With clenched fists, I open fingers and fall asleep
back in the forest, after the gods have turned to stone,
and history has explained itself as fallen angels or ambitious egoists.
I reckon the desire to kiss the abyss
without falling into black waters, drunk on a temptation
or an ease that might be heaven or a nu age
or nothing new at all. And in the reckoning
comes the answer, the snap-snap of sacred eyes.
War #3
This flower is red
Like my memory of you
So fragile and fierce
Mended by clotted blood
Easily crushed by bullets
In the pages of the newspaper.
The bravest thing I will ever do
Is to stay home and love you.
A Love Song
The mindless serenity of unsatisfying indulgence
and the haughty want that pretends to be the origin of all art.
Call it a love song, the birds chirping
screaming in the morning wings beating claws scraping
a brief burst of violence called a moment of passion.
And life does what life does and dissipates heat
with intelligence prone to fits of death dumb and blindness
from the searing flash of a rainbow of feathers.
In pure isolation I listen to music and muse
that muses gave their stamp of approval
to this madness, this hunger,
this petulant whining.
And the birds prattle on and the years prattle too
and I sit perfectly still and do my job to promote entropy
and try to prevent memories from intruding on angst.
This will fail too.
I won’t invokes names but I will recall images
and images, thank god, can’t be put into words.
But one can’t help but wonder if this is loneliness or worse.
And one must hope
that their love song
is something more
than a failure to reproduce.
A Blessed Day
A Blessed Day
Having my cold morning feet warmed by soft pillows.
Waking up to the aroma of hot coffee with cream.
Arranging the white living-room curtains to shade my eyes from the rising sun.
Reading several daily newspapers on my i-pad.
Peering into the neighborhood lagoon on a calm summer’s day.
Dreaming about far-away places I want to visit.
Catching a dozen large blue-claw crabs.
Writing a poem that is meaningful to others.
Making a seafood lunch for my wife.
Having chicken dinner made for me.
Watching Wolf Blitzer in the Situation Room.
Falling asleep in front of the TV.
Waking up.
Falling asleep again next to my wife in bed.
Prompt 6 Hour 6
Deep sigh release as cranes grace the waters edge sparkling a ripple across glass a crimson blanket has given the sky a moment for me to stretch my limbs into submission while fire dances before my eyes my feet find the rhythm my heart finds the warmth and my hope is wrapped in the waltz of sunrise
Night
Night has always been so boring
unless you touched my body,
where your cuddle is soothing
makes my heart hooting.
The night brings screams of love
you kiss me most,
the way hate is lost.
Flight is your and mine
I want all nights
just last night kind.
