Wild Blood

Each new day the dust and frenzy are more hard to contain

It’s clear I’ll need that cowhand after all -irreverent as he is

And leather, and spurs of solid silver, and who knows how many inches of rope

This will cost me

Damned thoroughbred

Paint Fire Awake

My theme song
Sceaming the theme
Fire and belief
Wakes me up

A 1am urge
To oil paint
Big broad strokes
Revealing chiseled flames

In brick red
I think yes
It’ll evoke fire
Mine, the subject’s

Theme song ready
Brush and canvas
Us awake now
Fire believe it 

Sweet Green Man

Without fail he bends his light in love to you
And colors your name in all the spaces of his places
Run to him girl, pot of gold

A more true bow in all the rain in all the world you’ll not find
Redeem his hope and offer up your second chance
Soothe him girl, pot of gold

Silk Sherlock

It was something like silk
In the same shade of green 
As the rings ’round my eyes
Whose flecks match the flowers in yours

And I wondered whether
It’d wow other women
(Which it did)
But-it-seems-to-have-wowed-you-too

Now laced within these lines
An invitation to investigate
If it is indeed
Silk
Sherlock

Heat Storm

While shopping for shoes I shouldn’t have been

Shoes too fancy for anything in these parts

An omen -I mean, a song- wafted on and on overhead

Music too loud as usual, but it caught my conscience 

I could barely make out the words, as airily whispered as they were

Some friend apologizing to another for the weather or for using much too much

Electricity

Man On The Roof

You steal

Scenes abandoned and almost forgotten

You magnify

Memories faint but revival-worthy

You help

Hearts fighting yet weakened

You build 

Brotherly-love mortared with hope

You. Needed. Here. There.
