crazed reality

been stuck in this book now
two years ago something
happened causing  less writing
more thinking but without
the pen will help cut all
the thought out of the mind
out of this mind and onto
this page out of his mind
sitting with silent rage
and confusion been swirling over head
like clouds with the occasional rain
throughout the day
thinking more and more about
the right place to be effective
bringing about positive change
for all involved will be affected
by any and all change
needs to be more than coins in a pocket
some will stand watching with hands in them
work to fill books with thoughts
but maybe no one will read them
that doesn’t mean the thoughts will ever stop
or make sense for that matter of fact
presented as if it were the future
and it probably will be if things don’t somehow
adjust as we all grow together or separate
depending on all the choices
made thought out of a day off and a stuffy nose
the rain has kept thought inside
all day planning some small escape
from the crazed reality of everyday life…

seen from all around

want to understand
how do eye fit
of confusion caught
worn down and tired
want to understand
how eye am seen
from all around
and how to escape
some maze so many
ways to find a way
out of the confusion
and back into
beauty’s light
want to understand
why intensity secures
a spot at the opposite end
of the location desired
to leave all worry behind
and move forward
with strength and
confidence…

worn out(for the record)


ten days of silence
followed by scratching
the surface of an idea
that might continue
to return if allowed
the proper time
 
for the record
given little reward
by those work for daily
by night fall
back out on the porch
moving the pen again
it’s been slow
last few years
getting used
to being worn out…

the outsider(for the record)


I don’t do well with disrespect
especially when it continuously
goes unpunished
and mostly unnoticed to all around
 
for the record
always seen as the outsider
never knowing what is best
for anyone including
myself apparently
 
for the record
sometimes I just sit
hours at a time
even in the heat of July
most of the day alone
used to the sound
the brain thinking
keep rattling on…

as the night is dark(for the record)


fireworks in every direction
celebrating 234 years
independence
as a country fire blazing bright
only light above the pen
and page thought by now
it might make sense
 
for the record
most likely never will
put on a different hat
meaning is still the same
irie as the night is dark
under clear star filled skies...

of this life(for the record)


for the record
seems everyday
of this life
gets harder to handle
trying to figure out
how to let go
with both hands…

lonely(for the record)

the fire was started
with a page from this book
under clear night sky
fire now roars

for the record
I could and do
stare into the flames for hours
thinking and hoping for a better day
somehow reaping what I was sowing
lonely when I shouldn’t be
been taking a lot of pictures
documenting moments
in this here life
for some reason or for the sake
of doing it ideas changing
as the fire burns the wood
to nothing

for the record
the silence too
golden alone under
cloudless air
above only thoughts
keep the vigil out
behind the house…

burning again (for the record)

burning again
first day of summer
longest day of the year
been awake most of it

the breeze feels cool
that fire burns
hot on top of sheets
layered will be under them
resting soon

4 the record

best part of the day
where I have always belonged
resting soundly
loving madly
waking lucky each morning

all the sounds of tonight
surround friend and companion passed
somehow always here
by my right arm
or beneath my feet
when I burn

longest day of the year
still under sensei cloud
still under clear night sky
4 the record...

fire blog #5

get a better look

fire burns slow
all the rain makes
it sizzle as if something
comes to a boil
crossed eyes
are heavy ones
some pollen
some herb related
fire burns slow
as the days
continue to extend
wind blows
fire becomes active
heating up
the entire area
wooden spokes
around the wheel of flames
takes on another form
spreading out
to get a better look
at all that sits behind
to enjoy the warm
stones only minutes
hours later
hot too touch face
before eyes close
each night
beginning of so many
more with a fire
burning slow and even the morning
rain couldn’t soak the wood
enough although
the fire burns slow…

it will burn

never looked into eyes
if you did you’d see no disguise
rise from the ashes of everything done
rise like the ocean rise like the sun
so many choices and thoughts won’t quit
so much light no matter how you measure it
contemplating each move like in a chess game
got to think three moves ahead you know the name
behind a dark screen sitting with wonder
stare into the light all night you might ponder
the thoughts that won’t let you be
one with yourself high over the tree
never looked into eyes
flat on your back you look at the skies
clear for now until clouds come
closed eyes tight you still hear the hum
from far away and anticipate a return
fire so hot without touch it will burn
walk with these thoughts there and back
walk with new thoughts as they come to attack
the regularity of reality makes you crazy to think
in your own thoughts you stand then you sink…

to closed eyes it's a train

what’s that date really mean
how could anyone really know
for sure and now too much
focus if reality distracted
until naturally disaster strikes
with power that cannot be stopped
and seen by cameras worldwide
inside drops helplessness seen worldwide
questions about how much everyone
will be radiated it’s in the good book
or written on some wall somewhere
and man may in fact destroy himself
what does any of it really mean
to closed eyes it’s a train thundering by
but it’s only the wind on one of those days
before spring moves in for a stay
focused on thoughts distracted
and fighting the reality presented
until that last day silently
as the flower turns to the sun
just like it heard every word
and believed every prediction
presented reality isn’t as it presented
we are all in the dark
honestly though can we imagine
being helpless in the dark…
