word jammin' circa 2004
Posted: April 5th, 2007, 12:19 pm
jam masters, word blasters,
rhythm jazzers, spell casters --
who's gonna play that bass line?
call out your lyrics, i'll call out mine,
it's time to jam, man - let's rock!
who all's here? just checked the clock -
___________
despite the empty chairs,
i donned my sequenced meter
and low-cut metaphor - no sweeter
beats had i ever heard before -
heart like a kettle drum!
____________
you are my morning,
my sunrise breath, my stanza dance,
my poem, you, the dream i dream
awakening.
____________
O, the explosion
of a morning, when Ra
reigns fragrant fragments
of unrivaled pigments,
your eyes, the size
of wonder, the thunder
of your heart against
my breast!
____________
vibrations do not depend on
the timing of hearts which skip beats -
nothing can create heat like
time-zone distance!
let us repeat heart mantras
let us repeat the pattern of beats,
rejoicing in the insistence
of a new dawn!
i put the rhythm of life on
like a robe, hold hope between
between my breasts, so blessed
the birth of Love in
infancy!
____________
Love is born from belief.
Thought-semen from a stem cell
fertilizing an open mind.
We dine in a candlelit room,
one bloom in a vase, taste
tender lips, seductive the eve'
And when we breathe
in unison, the song becomes
our treasure, each measure
accompanied by belief.
____________
empty mind running
circles around squares -
stars point pin-cushioned direction,
love cures, never cliche
____________
sierra images,
a burnt sienna painted
word canvas, wired eyes,
storm cries wild, wolf howls,
prowls of epiphanies, lightning
streaks, piques of curiousity!
hello goodbye hello
_________
I ran with assateague ponies
neck and neck - their manes
played on airwaves, my hair
made wisp-patterns like a sail -
i was a bare-back maiden,
the shoreline, my mist-vision,
each hoof-beat echoed
an hourglass sand
_________
scents of salt
taste of sea
free-crash waves!
roam the beach!
escape undertow
by dive, so alive
a shoreline.
love is a sandcastle,
vast towers crumble
when trampled
or weathered
by surf and storm.
be careful
where you build it.
repair its ruins.
we are dune-travelers,
beach-rovers,
salt-sense grains!
you cannot blame
the sea or rain for
a castle's demise.
build it again!
love remains.
love remains.
_________
i am at home
with seascapes -
he is resistant
to sun and sand,
his castle, my heart.
