Purple Canoe

Poem.....Purple Canoe

I rowed those swift currents
In my purple canoe
Rowed so hard
My arms turned blue

I found myself high in the clouds
My rowing not yet through
You can't get to Heaven sayth a voice
While rowing a purple canoe.

Cloud Talk

Poem...Cloud Talk

Saw a cloud
Looked like a bear
Where are you going
Clouds reply,why do you care
In the next few moments
I'll look like a pig
Or maybe even a tree
What ever I look like
Is not up to thee
So move right along
With your creative flight
For so very soon
I'll be out of sight

Black

Poem.. Black

Good
Badder
Gray
Never do you say
The bad is getting badder
And Black doth head this way

The Machine

Poem.....the Machine

Grays, Browns and Gold
The story is told
Add in Purple streaks
As part of the critiques
And of course blues
For those hidden clues
Is it a mystery
Painted in green
Or just a passing thought
In our machine

You and Me

Poem....You and Me

Stardust flung into the heavens
By hands of Nova stars
To make it's distant journey
Twisting and twirling
In tightning spirals
To form this beautiful Planet
We call Mother Earth
And standing on Her
You and Me
What will our future be?

The Ladder

Poem .....The Ladder

I built a Ladder
To climb high in the sky
To watch tops of clouds
Slowly passing by

Climb higher said a voice
Out of the Blue
You've much more to see
Before you are through

But I can't climb much higher
Will run out of air
And all those below me
Will stand there and stare

Keep climbing it said
And look at the moon
Your secret desire
Will look at you soon

I am so high now
My hands hold on tight
The Sun and the Moon
Now fading from sight

Keep climbing it said
The voice from above
Those stars up ahead
We're put there by Love

On higher I climb
Stars left and right
And in front of me now
Nothing but light

I step off my ladder
Into a World of white mist
Will I ever go back
Will I ever be missed

The voice became clear
Never to be stilled
Go back down
You've more ladders to build

If

Poem......If

If I were a Cloud
I would float out to sea
But first scoop you up
For Vistas to see

Away from demands
Of oft daily grinds
And write on the heavens
In soft fluffy designs

We Heard

Poem....We Heard

It has been said
As we slowly shake our head
That we no longer care
And our feelings are now dead

It just isn't true
The things they said
We were not even there
As we scratched our head

Let's say it is true
The things they said
Just for the possibility
We could get ahead

Slow Descent

Poem....Slow Descent

Dark shadows cross my page
Confusing meanings of words I write
Colours blending and intersecting
Confusing meanings of colours I see
Sounds of groaning and distant thunder
Cupping my ears for danger's closeness
I sit here near pen and inkwell anticipating
This dark poem soon to unveil itself
In script of meaningful dark terrors
And readers to be infected with words
That are disguised for their undoings
Should I give warnings of this poem's intent
Or let Insanity begin it's slow descent

Random Thoughts

Poem...Random Thoughts

What colour is friendship
Does black take us back
Or red move us ahead
Do we reach across purple divides
To offer our support
Or laugh so hard
We let out a snort
And when all is said
And years pass by
Your image is always there
Painted in the Sky

The Puppeteer

Poem....The Puppeteer

He looms over our lives
Those invisable strings
We jerkily climb out of our box
Onto the stage of life
Awkwardly bumping into others
Connected to his desires
Do we go here or there
Do we perform to his demand
Was that a string that broke
That holds up my Ego
Or a special hand twist
To please the crowd

The Wizard

Poem.....The Wizard

I hold in my hand
So sayeth the Wizard
A magic potion
To heal your dark mood
Encantation is a must
Followed by this sign
Which alerts evil spirits
To prepare for their journey
Into other unsuspectors
Drink this dark liquid
Brewed of tombstone moss
And black spiders ground
And dark thoughts will leave you
Not a trace to be found

Sweet Denial

Poem...Sweet Denial

They say it's so
The thing I did
Why point at me
Who do you kid
Ain't no way
I wasn't there
And if I was
I do not care
So move along
Out of my sight
With pointing finger
Closed in tight

Painting My Dream

Was that blue
Or was it rust red
Were those purples
Circling my head
Were those VanGogh yellows
Spiralling dark skies
Or blacks and grays
Where the crow flies
It really doesn't matter
what they may seem
This play of colours
Is painting my dream

Doors

Poem....Doors

I opened the door
And then there were more
Which should I choose
What could I lose
I opened the next
Into another room of doors
Surely this is somewhere
A place with no doors
But as I opened the next
And peeked inside
A room with more doors
And no place to hide
I ventured inside
My courage to rend
opened my eyes
As dream reached an end

Just Because

Poem....Just Because

What a wonderful World this could be
If we could put aside our differences
And make a choice to agree
If we could put aside demanding religions
And all the things that control our being
And marvel at this magnificent Planet
And embrace a new way of seeing
If we could see past those building
their rock wall of rules and laws
And listen to our children's wisdom
Enjoy the wonderful Now, just because

Rhythms Unknown

Poem... Rhythms Unknown

Why? We ask
Do they move that way
Toward an invisable end
Toward an unknown Day
But we must join in
And pretend to dance
And put on our smile
For some future chance

Next Rehearsal

Poem...Next Rehearsal

A play far greater
Than we can write
With cold winds
And rolling clouds
And turquoise oceans
Kissing sandy shores
And creatures from the sea
Calling to you and me
To attend the next rehearsal
On Earth stage to be

Gray on Gray

Gray on gray

What can I say

Black on black

Brings that memory back

Blue on blue

Message seems so true

Red on red

Playing in my head

If what I heard is true

And blue on blue

That she is coming back

And black on black

This time to stay

And gray on gray

Sun Messages

Poem....Sun Messages

Sun sending messages
On lighted spider webs
For all nature to read
Written in a language
Hard for us to decipher
Hard for us to heed

Painted Memories

Poem...Painted Memories

Dark grays streaked with black
Rust reds peeking through
Hints of reds and sienna
On this painting for you

I walk our forest path
Once only us two
I reach for your hand
A touch I once knew

The colours I paint
Rust reds and grays
Are now painted memories
Of those precious days

Thunderstorm

Poem....Thunderstorm

Deep blues turned boiling gray
Distant threats of thunder
Portents for their play
God's with flashing swords
Striking at lone tree
Theatrics out of dark skies
For mere mortals to see
And for their finale act
To impress Goddess dears
A deluge of raindrops
To mimick Goddess tears

Writing on a Tear

Poem....Writing on a Tear

My mind spins
With distant thoughts of you
A blue-green planet fades
In the blackness of space
As I rocket to years hince
With no Sunrise or Sunset
When reality sets in
The love of my life
May not be again
But the promise we made
The love we hold dear
Is written in the stars
And on the glisten of a tear

Capt Rex...Space trip to Planet Gothra

Delusion Blue

Poem...Delusion Blue

What seems to be
Is not what I see
Those things I fear
Seem so near
But sweet Delusion
Serves me true
As my thoughts
Arrange themselves to
A better shade of blue
What of a better shade of red?
Mixing colours in my head
Think I''ll stay with Delusion Blue

Sunset

Poem...Sunset

Yellows and Grays
Make my days
And fading Blues
With sunset hues
And my eyes grow heavy
With darkness soon
And dreams come creeping
From behind full Moon
