Time gleans "the sound" from you..
from a distant age gone by.
Body, Neck and Bridge...
Strings, Frets and Keys,
aggregates of this guitarra...
A matrix of wood and bone,
constructs of this Soul.
Embodied in the ink of his pen...
the writer personified -
encrypted in the words,
his art...his life -
each word and rambling
phrase, an incarnation
of the Nous.....truly, an unfettered reflection.
So too, the musician speaks through the sound
of each note...
each note, each phrase,
as if a paragragh...
reflecting sentience and imagination.
Together - they complete the poem
and the symphony...
Separate - they are two strangers
born of a common Mother.
The resonant embrace pierces the
Heart - fingers dancing into a firestorm ....
dissonance long removed, they chase away the distance -
forgetting that some are far removed from this joyful mood.
Mirroring one another, the two strangers renew their bond,
reflecting familiar and a courteous tones, in writ and song -
as thoughts surely become sound,
and all the while, are so evenly pronounced...
plucked strings reverberate through the darkness,
minor and major scales collide...
awakening the dead to life,
....to the poem within the symphony.

ONES CHARACTER IS ONES TRUE SELF
IN MANY SHADES OF GREY OR GOLD
CHARACTER LIVES
NOT ON SURFACE LIFT
IT TRANSCENDS THE VEIL OF SKIN COLOUR
IT NEVER LIES
IT IS THE HIDDEN RAY OF LIGHT IN THE PACK OF MIRROR CARDS
AS WE GRIPPLE WITH THE STEAM LET OFF STEAM FROM LIFE'S MANY DISHES
LET CAUTION BE OUR GUEST AT THE GATE WHERE HABBIT ALWAYS PASS.

The center of a star reflects just like a diamond...
Returning a pearl within each silver breath that one treasures...
With faceted panels, I promised I'd never...
Sweep over a deep sea of blue waves unmeasured...
There is a pattern woven inside golden petals that kiss the inside of my heart...
Parts of my heart that I've thus' failed to start...
With soft fingers dancing, you're forever entrancing...
My star that's eternally far...

wave after wave seasons change an the winters fade into the summer sky's ,where the seagulls fly an there hunger cry's like dreamers from a different time ,where dreams never live or never die drifting away it seem far beyond the wildest dreams ,with your eyes close follow the stars nothing else to say drifting away.......

On a notion of fear the end of the line is near opening of the gates of hell on a starless night for let it be written, when the clock strikes 12 the reaper well ring the bell ,one final spin the river of poisons cease to exists, the windows close with windless tides the final hour well arrive .

Kiss of wind, skin expose
Rite of passage, flint unblown
Wrap in linen, whisper wish
Eye a smile, power fill dish
Tell our story, wren over been
Radio gunplay, window dot win
Heal it faster, rivet caste rim
Tubs waste iron, collector writ Him
Sliver hard ice, stainless ore holy
All by Virgil, squeeze shades folly
Less than words, forever amore
Full of grace, moon-lit gore.

T'is a cold and rainy night,
Wish I knew someone who might
Just want to cuddle tight -
and keep me warm.
A soft body would be fine,
In fact t'would be sublime
And I could spend all the time -
taken by her charms.
I would not want so very much,
It's just to have her gentle touch
To have her comfy and all such -
content in my arms.
Someone to feel a personal need,
And one to think maybe he'd
Be the answer to what she pleads -
he's there to keep her warm !

Dont worry about the past,
Let them worry about themselves.
Don't presume what others assume,
It only makes things difficult.
Dont have a closed mind,
When the possibilities are endless.
Dont built castles on air,
When the foundation are on dreams.
Dont expect this or that,
When everything else is when and where.
Dont shake your head and agree with me,
I'm just the funny guy of this Sanctuary.
Last of all Dont you dare read and leave,
without giving thanks for the air you breathe!
Because there are stranger things in this world,
Then you and me or anyone can see and believe.
