Bee Dreams

Poem....Bee Dream

From blue to yellow to red
Humming wings in my head
My morning nectar feast
Or cocktail at the least
Cold air starting it's begin
Soon sweet treat not to rend
Continue on with pollen spread
And sweet dreams in my head

The Virus

Poem...The Virus

Inside a movement
Plans to dominate
Threats of terror
To spread misconceptions
That contain no truths
A virus of rationality starts
And speeds it's spread
And soon what seemed a certainty
Is no longer a dread

Lost in rust red

Poem....Lost in Rust Red

Drifting from grays to purples
Knowing my intent is red
But my thoughts are sienna
Swirling VanGoghs in my head
Down this old country road
I drift with autumn leaves
When what do I see up ahead
My favorite colour
Lost in rust red

Artist's view

Poem...Artist's view

Looking at what could be
Torn loose from what should be
A deeper colour of Red
A dark line between two forms
Meaning soaked with emotion
Stepping into a new reality
Closed doors of culture opened
Unlocked by the Artist for the few
To reach newness hidden from view

Retribution

Poem...Retribution

Anger stored for future use
Driven by passions not understood
To be carried out against them
Those chosen without their knowledge
To prove pointless points
Bearded speaker in airy clothes
Spouting this-must-be-done
To please that being above the clouds
And move on to the next Retribution

The Pretender

Poem....The Pretender

What if all we see
Is contrived pretention
Charting a path
Imagined by the pretender
Not traveled by he
But by those who cannot see
The shell game goes on
Displayed by slight of hand
We continue our rapt gaze
Only he will understand

Slide Away

Poem....Slide away

Reaching for a desire
As far away as stars
Not in my knowing
Tis not to grasp
Slippery slope
On which I stand
Desire getting smaller
As I slide away

Butterfly

Poem.....Butterfly

The wisdom of the Ages
Written on a butterfly wing
A tale of effortless flight
Giving us pause for thought
Should we continue
Our brute force living
Or should we relent
With lessons learned
In that effortless flight
Of that beautiful Butterfly

Into a Dream

Poem....Into a dream

What was once here
Now a beautiful memory
A familiar scent wafting past
A smile on a photograph
A voice thought to be heard
An image thought to walk past
An imaginary kiss on my cheek
Love reaching across the Universe
That warm hand holding mine
Walking our familiar path into a dream

Portent....Dark Poetry

Distant thunder in my soul
Rains come and rivers roll
Icebergs fill the Seven Seas
Glacier remnants pass falling trees
Cities flood beyond their use
Equator eruptions from abuse
Emerging darkness not foretold
Endless nights soon turn cold
Endless snows turn landscapes white
Leaves and grasses not in sight
Species gone for naught to eat
Drums of extinction pound their beat

The Painter

Poem.....The Painter

Meandering through Life
Paintbrush in hand
Dabbing purple here and there
Painting smiles on faces
Words Love painted in gray
Adorning old brick walls
Swirling dark blue in the sky
With streaks of VanGogh yellow
I am the Painter

Haste

Poem....Haste

Words spoken in haste
Moving forward like dark clouds
To the heart of my beloved
Impossible to retrieve
Not meant to harm
A lost look in her eyes
Gone is the smile
Dissolving one more stone
From our foundation of trust

Sweet Rationalization

Poem...Sweet Rationalization

Here I stand
Manipulating the truth
To suit my desires
Unaware of consequences
Bestowed to others
As I drown
In Sweet Rationalization

These words

Poem.....These words

Spoken or just thought
These words meant to express
Feelings of gladness and
Perhaps a little sadness
That life has no stopping place
To change what was
Into what could be
But the Planet turns
And clouds re-appear
And my intention to put
Beauty into these words

Colours

Poem...colours

Reds and Blues
Colours I choose
Blacks and Grays
Fill out my days
Splash of Sienna
Worked inbetween
Purple and lavender
Soon to be seen
In my wanderings
Life on display
Stirring my thoughts
This lovely day

Picked Daisy

She picked a Daisy on her stroll
Placed it in her Mother's Soul
That Place of comfort she doth see, a
And in her Soul forever be.....Capt Rex

dark Dream

Faces known from the past
In roles from hidden director
Searching for long lost keys
Nothing for them to fit
Lost inside a city's center
Trying to get to an unknown place
This block seems familiar
A house with no roof
Someone beckoning me in
Dark clouds drizzling rain
I look at her rain soaked hair
She smiles from across the table
Lightning strikes and flames rise
She continues to smile not moving
I gasp for air in rude awakening
And stare into a darkened reality

Collage

Poem....Collage

Moving across grays and browns
On rhythmic waves of body folds
Defying all passersby
To see beauty in it's choreography
Calling assistants to help with collage
Never intended for a Gallery

Dark Poem......Not as they seem

Words spoken with authority
Rehearsed for credibility
Telling of coming dfficulties
If this and that not approved
Words pulled from the past
Words believed once before
And now not as they seem
Like a handful of balloons
Released for all to see
And disappearing into Space

Poem...Unknown Urges

I look at dark shapes
Playing their secret game
Hiding their insideous intent
Will I walk toward their foreboding
And accept their evil into my Soul
I can't hold back their dark promises
Unknown urges move me on

Poem....Silence

This day
In every way
Looking for things to say
To break that stone wall silence
That was once music in my heart
