Isolation

My words sound of misuse

In the ears of others,

My touchings fail.

I am surrounded by mirrors;

My sendings come back

To flail me.


.............................................


My dreams slip
Into unfilled memories
Frozen in circles
Of silver'd glass,
Looking at me
Like unloved children.


.................................................


My mirror'd me,
The watching shadow I see
Waiting to heed.
Who follows who leads?
Do I follow the shadow?
Does it follow me?

Sorrows

Sorrows

My sorrows lay

In the power of allurement

To trick hope upon the heart;

Of imagination to give visions

Of what will never be.

Distance becomes

Imperceptibly-

Until it forbids

Even another glance.

Aloneness

I walked by the sea today,

Aloneness as near to me

As the white foam

Washing away the footmarks

Of my last moments passing,

Leaving but an awareness

Of presence

Amid the ancient song

Of the seas endless reach

Upon the eternal sand.

Is this not the woe of life

For all of us?

We are placed alone

In each succeeding moment,

A singular piece of consciousness

Rushing forth our longings

For a oneness so known, yet lost,

That we must reach for it

With each breath of our living.

A Christmas Wish

While travelling home on Christmas day
I thought to stop along the way,

And stay awhile where poems are made,

My plan to send a wishful cheer

Upon the ending of the year--

A singing merry rhyme

Of brightly glowing lights

And roundly ringing bells

That toll of Christmas time.

But as the verse began to sing

Of heartfelt joys

And first-time toys,

And laugh with happy tears

For life's remember'd years,

A silence fell

Upon the ringing of the bells,

A place unfilled by gifts 'n things

That Christmas always brings.

For what we need of all above

Is that our greatest gift be love.

Inner Gravities

Inner Gravities

We must give fluidity

To our lives.

So like quiet water

We flow gently

To our natural course,

Pulled ever down

From the peaks of delusion

By our inner gravities.

The Dreamt Of Place

To live once more

Those feeling flights on billow'd clouds,

To pass again the windstreams end,

To find the dreamt of place

Where moments passed
Return again.
