Yes i'm afraid
that once more they are gone
and you cannot escape
that you are now alone,
...

People never know what they want,
they don't know what to do when to do it how to do it why to do it or who to do it with.
the world carries on begrudgingly wondering
where the hell has all the love gone?
...

no, this is not.
nope, not in the least
not at all not even a smidgen.
you see for me this is,
...

i was once a top the moon
watching over everything
as i started to climb
i fell, falling through space and time
...

I'm away too long
once more i miss her calming sounds,
the ocean my lover
who dwells in her own
...

I sit on high
waiting long for time to come
the time of times, when the time does run
no more. i feel the ghosts
...

I see you, i see me
we're living together you see,
and we're ever so happily
making the best
...

Along this road we go
these beautiful clouds and sky
the weather is grand
and the day is perfect,
...

to you this poem is for.
you've saved me from myself
so many times i reproached my Father
and spoke to him of my travels,
...

Anywhere i go
any step in any direction
your love is there...
surrounding me,
...

so subtle,
so sweet it makes the grass tense
like a mother's love it comforts
and then it collects,
...

Words are great but some
oh some i hate to hear
like fish in the sea
there's a new wind afly,
...

It's like a cold, cold frost
that sweeps over your body's fire
and it melds with your desires
to produce an icy weapon
...

Crunch crunch crunch
claws the angry bottom-feeder
who in his desperate strides
clings to any such life
...

anyday that's been a long day
you can always cure by playing chess,
all of your problems vanish into dust
as the cracked and decayed wooden pieces
...

falling asleep at night,
nothing parting my dreamy waves by
except the contents of my heart
I hear finally, with my eyes,
...

You ruin my life
you drive me from sanity's edge,
that age long hair-thin line
that i've always managed to stay afoot on-
...

Oh Autumn, My Beloved
how i wait for you so,
my heart enchanted by your elegance
and unique serenity,
...

An Odd Pair
yes we are
we make for an odd sense of humor
or possibly ill
...

needn't be mine nor yours
this pen, any pen,
in my hands is
Everything.
