Book Of Your Heart
2009 07 29
I hope you see beauty of your soul
when you gaze in mirror of my heart.
Look deep into crystal eye of my heart
for that beautiful soul you see is yours.
I open wide secret book of your heart
to read true words of your silent eyes.
I push open door of mysterious hope
and explore labyrinth of your heart.
Guide me with light of your open eyes
to secret fruit garden where you sing.
I open wide secret book of your heart
to read true words of your flashing eyes.
I take your hand and we walk on trail
of your dreams to fulfill your desire.
I never want to be a blind distraction
rather I will ever be your inspiration.
I open wide secret book of your heart
to read true words of your singing eyes.
I knew you long before we ever met
and kiss you now that we live together.
Gaze through window words of my mind
for you will ever see your face in my heart.
I open wide secret book of your heart
to read true words of your dreaming eyes.
Rocket To Mars
2009 07 30
When this world goes crazy with war
I hide in my house and lock front door
and slouch on my couch with beer in hand
punching wand buttons on remote control
watching human game in television glow.
I want to fly a fast rocket to Mars
and sail away among peaceful stars.
When hunger gnaws my belly raw
I lock my girls safe behind stone walls
and grip a spear as I prowl dark woods
hunting monsters in shadows of fear
and stab their hearts with victory cry.
I want to fly a fast rocket to Mars
and sail away among peaceful stars.
I place river stones in a closing ring
and strike flints to spark blazing fire
then relax under ancient apple tree
while woman I love with beaming smile
roasts fresh meat over crackling flame.
I want to fly a fast rocket to Mars
and sail away among peaceful stars.
I leave behind cold protecting walls
chasing a demon in desert of red sand
giant dragon bird with beating wings
that shrieks and strikes at my soul
but I thrust blade of light into its gut.
I want to fly a fast rocket to Mars
and sail away among peaceful stars.
I build a hut from curving dragon bones
draping fur to protect my girls from snow
and watch blazing fire melt rock to brass
so I mold a helmet and cauldron to cook
and proclaim myself god on a ziggurat.
I want to fly a fast rocket to Mars
and sail away among peaceful stars.
I walk in a dreamless haze of red heat
a thousand days without thirst or name
then stop and stare down in a dry well
and hear soft voice of an angel who fell
whispering secrets of revolution power.
I want to fly a fast rocket to Mars
and sail away among peaceful stars.
When princess of lilies rises at dawn
dripping blue water from lake of dreams
she dances with me on mountain of laws
while I carve visions on tablets of stone
then descend Sinai with jewels for eyes.
I want to fly a fast rocket to Mars
and sail away among peaceful stars.
She bakes me a pie of apples and spice
that fills my heart with new hope in love
so I walk in white robe in cities of men
and preach cooperation with open hand
but tyrants in uniforms chain my hands.
I want to fly a fast rocket to Mars
and sail away among peaceful stars.
I land rocket ship on red sands of Mars
and build a temple of emeralds and hope
and grow corn and pumpkins in blue rain
to bake grits and pies for Thanksgiving Feast
and welcome refugees from crazy wars.
I want to fly a fast rocket to Mars
and sail away among peaceful stars.
Roadside Bomb Explodes
2009 07 31
Blazing hot flash of star-red dreams
swirl angel wings expanding blind eyes
envelope mind dissolving fierce relapse
if naked wonder drags broken bones
when another roadside bomb explodes
and knocks him tumbling back into hell.
Trembling hand touches face of a girl
who smiles and whispers I love you
envelope memory of her eyes in flame
running over thick sand stumble boots
when another roadside bomb explodes
and throws him flying head over heels.
Achilles shakes spear before Ilium walls
and Alexander shouts on Tower of Babel
and Julius Caesar crosses over Rubicon
and Charlemagne chops down Irminsul
when another roadside bomb explodes
and tears off mask of mighty warrior king.
Miguel and Dakeem play basketball
then listen to recruiters talk world travel
so they train and fly to gold sands of Eden
shooting ancient ghosts in desert haze
when another roadside bomb explodes
and hurls broken bodies in caskets of steel.
Mehrdad grips sword and fights hard
with demon bat man from Damavand cave
who squawks tearing up Nineveh streets
and slashes it dead as thousands cheer
when another roadside bomb explodes
and blasts a humvee thudding on its side.
Wounded warrior in crowded trailer park
limps outside in summer Ohio heat
and watches sons play in meadow pool
eyes blinded by blazing flash of fear
when another roadside bomb explodes
and rips his peace but hardens his faith.
Ten thousand warriors of American towns
trudge Helmand hills over broken bones
of warriors from Russia and Britain and Rome
shooting bullets into a purple poppy haze
when another roadside bomb explodes
and exposes tyrannical Wizard of Oz.
Blazing flash of stars and stripes on fire
flaps in breeze from sea to shining sea
as wives and children stand over graves
of warriors who fall defending our Liberty
when another roadside bomb explodes
and splatters blood on flag of our pride.
Angry men clutching rifles in dust storm
shout shooting at ghosts in dark rooms
but stare hiding grief to see a mother
and seven children gurgling as they bleed
when another roadside bomb explodes
and blasts open wide gates of heaven.
Home To Paradise
2009 08 01
Numb heart unravels swirling ribbons
of confused thoughts tumbling silent
that wrap her heart in binding despair
so she drinks hot chocolate and cries
trying to find her way home to paradise
lost in labyrinth of love in her heart.
Tears flow from eyes of blinded hope
splashing on words she tries to write
smearing her thoughts in confusion
though birds chirp outside her window
as she searches way home to paradise
lost in labyrinth of desire for true love.
He grabbed my arm when I escaped
wounded pride turning him into a beast
because he failed to control my heart
so I wander alone on a signless road
trying to find my way home to paradise
lost in labyrinth of hard staring eyes.
Her fingers trace oval on porcelain cup
gold filament around an idyllic scene
mother on a blanket suckling her child
as shepherd watches over family herd
who found true way home to paradise
lost in labyrinth from ruins of old temples.
Where are you prince who loves my soul
and adores my spirit with true giving love
filling my heart without demanding more
and guiding my steps on journey of life
trying to find my way home to paradise
lost in labyrinth of his eyes full of love.
My heart is a meadow sprouting flowers
but he dug a hole with shovel of greed
that filled with pool of sparkling tears
where travelers drink to refresh hearts
trying to find our way home to paradise
lost in labyrinth of forest without stars.
Lost Light Of Tushpa
2009 08 02
Mut holds a clay jar firm in red hands
full of white Ammonium chloride salt
as she walks along a white marble street
toward ziggurat in Diospolis Not Amun
where Amun stands in tall feather crown
before table with model of our universe.
Arubani cuddles baby lion in her arms
as wind from lake Van blows her hair
and she watches Khaldi with gold beard
ride back of a lion that gallops swift
while he balances holding a long yew bow.
Shivini and Artinis sons of Shamash
practice combat twirling bronze scepters
that ring clear in crisp morning air
as Mount Ararat glitters white with snow.
Huba cradles baby Sarruma at her breast
as his hands grip a small bronze axe
forged by his tall father burly Thespias
son of Teshub who leaps on a black bull
that shakes horns as Adad beats a drum
then he hurls iron thunderbolt at a tiger.
Sarduris raises axe and chops a tree
then gangs of men load logs on a wagon
so he guides bulls hauling load of wood
to hill of Tushpa where he architects
construction of a fort on a rugged slope
where his small son Ishpuinis plays
games of war with a dozen young boys.
Argishtis directs men hauling wagons
of stone up steep hill of broken rocks
to build citadel of Erebuni on hill top
where sun glitters in jewels on a crown
that rests on head of a young woman
who cradles a new born child at her breast.
Words Of Loyal Love
2009 08 03
I almost lost you from my heart
when you ran away from our love
afraid this paradise we share is fake
but we reveal true love of our souls
shining in naked words of loyal love.
Your beautiful heart I so admire
was broken and abused by greed
as you fled through darkness of fear
but I cast light on your trail of tears
to guide you with words of loyal love.
We stand together now hearts entwined
cleaning away debris of cluttered pasts
to plant a new garden with refreshing fruit
for we reveal true love of our souls
glowing in shared words of loyal love.
We chip away past fears and doubts
to polish our hearts with reborn love
so our eyes beam connecting our hearts
for we cast light on our trail of tears
to guide us straight with words of love.
Us And Our Love
2009 08 04
When chaos of desire batters our boat
as we sail forth together on Sea of Love
we shout words of hope over roaring wind
that swirls us lost under starless skies.
After storms of fear and doubt fade away
we dance in peace just us and our love.
When I first see your eyes bright as stars
I hold your hand and we dance together
in moonlight glowing love in our hearts
and we pledge to share journey to paradise.
After storms of fear and doubt fade away
we dance in peace just us and our love.
When I hold you close to my adoring heart
glow of love beams a bridge of loyal faith
that connects our hearts in binding trust
as we travel together on road of our life.
After storms of fear and doubt fade away
we dance in peace just us and our love.
When our eyes beam love heart to heart
that weaves wings interlacing our souls
we soar together free on wind of trust
spiraling souls united in passionate dance.
After storms of fear and doubt fade away
we dance in peace just us and our love.
When he whispers doubts in your ears
trying to lure you away from my arms
thinking he protects you from my true love
we cry at tearing apart of our woven hearts.
After storms of fear and doubt fade away
we dance in peace just us and our love.
When I follow you where you flee in fear
and call your name with voice of my love
you return and melt in my loving arms
and our kisses revive our fading hearts.
After storms of fear and doubt fade away
we dance in peace just us and our love.
When we lose ourselves in passionate kiss
that swirls our spirits on river of light
we find ourselves reborn from white flash
that cleanses our souls in refreshing faith.
After storms of fear and doubt fade away
we dance in peace just us and our love.
When seeds of faith sprout in storm rain
vines of eternal love curl toward our eyes
and bind our hearts with wings of trust
that no man may uproot with greedy hands.
After storms of fear and doubt fade away
we dance in peace just us and our love.
When we step from boat after wild storm
we hold hands and walk on flower trail
to open gate of paradise and rest together
by deep well of faith in peace of our hearts.
After storms of fear and doubt fade away
we dance in peace just us and our love.
Fallen Angel Of My Heart
2009 08 05
Flash of eyes in bright mirror of fear
when a bullet splatters illusion mask
as she cries out father take my hand
but a smiling ghost fades among trees.
I kneel cradling her in trembling arms
weeping over fallen angel of my heart.
I am not ugly nor stupid he shouts
and raises rifle to aim in howling rage
but you women with your pretty eyes
ignore me and refuse to give me love.
I run stumbling over good intentions
weeping over fallen angel of my heart.
He smashes light with hard fist of rage
and sprays bullets into dancing girls
whose screams tear forever at my soul
as their pure souls bleed in purple rain.
I spread arms to protect ones I love
weeping over fallen angel of my heart.
My heart aches to give you loyal love
but you turn away and ignore my desire
he screams and tears dreams to shreds
blinded by greed he mistook for love.
I release my ceaseless fountain of love
weeping over fallen angel of my heart.
She turns away from his controlling
