Only Colors

on By 1 Comment

Rain falls without regard
To impact and discomfort
Footprints left in the path
Waiting to be removed
When next tears flood

A constant ringing in my ears
Cries from lives lost
Climbing the crest of my soul
Pins hammered into my bones
To keep them steady

Looking for details
Searching, scratching, screaming
For details
But there are none
Colors

There are only colors

Our House is on Fire

A musical response to this piece of art:
https://www.deviantart.com/hummbuzz/art/Our-House-is-on-Fire-827870854

Our house is on fire – And the baby’s on the roof –
No one would believe me – But baby, I got proof
The stars keep shinin’ – Don’t mean no thing to me
The sky has folded up and said he’s gonna leave,    

Our house is on fire – And the baby’s on the roof –
No one would believe me – But baby, I got proof
The four winds keep howlin’, tellin’ us the tale
Everyone’s deep pockets, everyone’s for sale

Our house is on fire – And the baby’s on the roof –
No one would believe me – But baby, I got proof
Takin’ what we need, and then a whole lot more
Mother earth’s done waitin’, She’ll be settlin’ that score

Afterlight

on By

When the sun goes down
There is an afterlight
Within the context of the artist
It is something to be pursued

We chase
After light

Not be confused
With afterlight
A relatively young word
At 215 years

Unused for some time
It registers misspelled
In autocorrect
Wait….
Autocorrect registers misspelled
In autocorrect

Fruit From The Garden

on By 6 Comments

It has come
To my attention
That these many days
On the trail

Marked by failure
Marred by poison
Skin erupted
In sore lesions

Are purpose
Filled

Daughter of my youth
To see your face today
Holding you close
For a vapor’s moment

Fills my eyes
Full
With oceans of joy

Their waves
Deliver gifts
And riches
Beyond Words

I say with confidence
Today
Our garden
Has yielded its fruit
