Personal Revelations # 6


I bit the dust of day down hard
as the fenders of my auto pilot body
defended my frail emotions
sailing into the abyss of a starless night.

I trust the sun to light the moon
the moon to further sail my soul

I am a fallen star now humbled
in the penance of my loss.

I flip pancake days
into grilled imperfections
the syrup of my blood
is teared stained memories
warped in a timeless battle
of a restless warriors soul.

Unguarded, I sail
the churning seas of no denial
into the vortex of sleepless hours
where the union of my trinity
embellishes cloudless rain.

I am Jupiter rung and ready
I am Venus dressed in light
I am the red of Mars
the dried river beds
of her ancient past.

You are the infinity
I shall never keep
staring in my daydreams
here on a lonely corner
pigeons dart to and fro
pecking breadcrumbs
off the cracked sidewalks
of these decaying streets.


I dress the day in great defiance
I am a pilgrim marching on
in the path-less dark of night
I sense the next step
beyond the bind
into the blind.

Let my senses lead me on
further into this space
until at last I discover
if the burdens I have carried
have all been whitewashed nightmares-----


or, just a belated realization
of a single life-long dream come true.

Burying the Sword

I shall not want what I haven't got
until it's placed in front of me
seldom do we envy that which
our pondering eyes have yet to see

In the seven dreams of Lad and Dad
dating back to my youthful chimes
I thought in time all would be fine
he was of another state of mind

Bricks to dust as time will pardon
man for mistakes along the way
but once denied denying gains some
itself becomes a game to play

Over hedgerows my leaps and falls
my conduct bad at times of course
though guilt itself has bound my heart
no choice upon me has been forced

Each day death knocks upon a door
unknowingly at times to call
us to dust as bricks the same
it's only life friends after all

I tend the hoe in vital soil
faith the fall brings just reward
I shall concentrate on my garden
For never fed was I by sword

So be told the time I keep
will lead me further on to rest
my only hope is that you find
I never cared to pass your test

Andy and the Ocean.jpg








Pig Pens and Playgrounds

I scribe the scribble
the station of nations

my heart crosses lines
of feathered clouds

to dot the day
with wolf howls
native dances,

fast feet flopped
flaming, in the frenetic
fields of promise

where the only glory
is the sun in a sky
of no ceiling

always calling
always healing
forever feeling

raining down on me
all that reigns for a short time

day tripping on bad dreams
dished out and delivered

talking with an upside down tongue
I see the world
as a slobbered bath

where word bombs
short circuit good intentions

I build roads removing rocks
piled high along the banks

another fence
another claim
of contradiction

I scream inside
this skin hungry
for freedom

somewhere past
the fight of each day

past the lies
of losers lost
in local lunacy

their faces stuck
to the ugly news of sirens

someone hurting
more than them

seems to bring
some queer satisfaction

something bigger
than surrender and a sigh

my name is Andy
how is my assonance?

check my bell weather well
I weep in the wind,

I cry in my cave
I love in my loss
I see
all things good and bad
it's the processing

that pulls me into pig pens
of mud and madness

until I howl back
at the moon,

raise my hands
up to the stars,

lift my heart up
to the heavens,

push my pen
into a poem,


....as all the world
becomes a playground
once again.

Honey Drunk
in the catechismal claims
of your revelations

you are a vibrant lover
unhinged, as free
as fast water

we dance on cloud puffs
love is light in trust
unprotected

in the gold glory
of a new dawn

Interesting facts about me


image


The summer sprayed itself upon me
In Haiku breaths I searched the past
Soft expanding lines
(he did; she did)
all things unsettled lead to thunder

I quaked the nights with my guitar
soaking in changing moons
as Sasha rode the blues
beyond the trappings of four walls

I've labeled them all FRIENDS
even those I now deny
in the burdens of my fire
together we burn in shame

Scanning the coast
in the presence of Mother's spirit
no clouds to shade my view of eternity
feeling the need for a storm
for I too have lived most days in rain

She walks in wires at times
barbed in fruitless battles
I choose mine and fight them fast
never once looking back
her heart so thick in blood
she whirlpools further down
until the blue moon appears
to call her home to herself
where her earth heaven
reminds her of a selfless journey

The pagans find their partners
in silence where all our fears reside
in the only place where truth holds claim

I brush sand from tired limbs
thinking of New Zealand
only a whisper away

I smile in the great love
of faith and friendship
surrounded by the journey
of two souls

We are Muse Mongers
numbers were never our claim
we live for the POEM
after the POEM
that slides fearless
through an azure sky

It pushed our pens to HERE

Here; where the gull caws
where the osprey glides
where the only question
that ever really mattered
is silenced by the rising sun

She makes the world a better place
small deeds that grow large
Huge waves crash into soft sand
I have attacked her shore

only to retreat and realize
this balance that we share
is something larger than the place we keep

There is no space between us now
only the whisper of the moon
followed by the echoes of
a journey built of friendship
that is forever in a timeless
state of bloom

For Every Action there Is an Equal and Opposite Reflection


Today I watched the children dance in hot sand
an audible ouch, then dash for the sea
all is better when wet, the body mirrors light
there is a time for soaking in, a time for reflecting
cold salt water refreshes the senses
the sand is cool again against young feet
wet footprints soon to be washed away
in the tides of a changing moon

There is a vengeful man who writes bad metaphor
biscuits and gravy, some strange war inside his head
always pretending to be something more than he is


There is a woman who claims to be a friend to all
the two meet in a virtual paradise
the muse runs free from loose hearts
in a world of all is well, all is never well

I saw the devil dance between lines
read the warnings written between fallen stars
I played horseshoe with a deviant until I rung his neck
it's all a gambling game of twenty one
the rules don't change, the facts always come to light
luck plays a small part, there is no HIGH NOON SHOWDOWNS

I feel the cadence of the wind today
how it starts and stops in step with my thoughts
life is not always like that, on time, clear to tired eyes
those that nibble on the future end up in the past
we rise up on Sunday's praise our God
by Monday we fail him in some way

Life is a trail of choice
a chance to forgive and forage
to feast or fester
to fence or fret
to feel or fend
to file or fail
to f................ck up
or face it.


I see the forms of a thousand graceful dancers
naked in a new night sky
caressing the glow of stars
my mind moves on past the constellations
I no longer believe the false intentions
the weak are always exposed
then lifted up again by those that have been there themselves
or, left to drown in the mud cake minds they chose to keep

Once, when the air was clean
when the Apostle Thomas still had a welcomed voice
when the Dawn was something more than trapped
there was a great energy in the stars

Those are the days I will keep inside my collection of time
when the yellow butterfly flaps wings standing still before a new petunia
I will remember a Castle where I first read her
speaking of a man who went to Europe
I saw the pyramids of Egypt between her lines
these days all I see is death and bitter poems
leading further to decay

I welcome the spirit of the ages
all things that are broke are either dead
or waiting to be fixed

I have tools
I have time

above me the big dipper takes a sip of my solutions
reminding me that some things take years to die

After The Rush

We spilled Saturday into Sunday's post parade
Thoroughbred hearts beating around railed bends
hooves pounding with monkey men on our backs
we were in it for the rush, bodies tingling,
headed for a climax with blinders we raced on


into the black night
a lonely lover's stable
we shook our heads
trying hard to sleep
while standing up

My Hobbies

Licking noodles off of cherry strings.

Playing Golf with a Beach Ball in the rain.

Juggling lettuce heads in the shower.

Wrestling with my cat Turbo.

Trying to figure out why fat, old, bald, men hate me.

Hallowing in the hollows of a hurried hurricane

Studying the ups and downs of posterior hemisphere shifts

Looking for a laughs in the legions of letters I never wrote
