Pale Black Rider Ridge Shadowed
dust darkened brown mustard
pale black rider ridge shadowed
there is a resolute stillness about
you in your solemn purpose trod
onward motion do you ride resolved
soul determined to certain death filled

Long Journey Ridden In Death Paced Spaces
dust darkened brown mustard
pale black rider ridge shadowed
a resolute stillness awakened
haunts solemn purpose onward
motion death bidden fist shadowed
finality mortal clay loom claimed
do you ride resolved
soul determination filled
to certain death scorned
are you already dead
freedom liberty sacrifice pledged
bullets rained rim fired

A Thousand Flamenco Fires
dust darkened brown mustard
pale black rider ridge shadowed
there is a resolute stillness about
you in your solemn purpose trod
onward motion do you ride resolved
soul determined to certain death filled
are you already dead
slain symbolism pierced
staccato corrida García Lorca shot
bull hero philosophy hide arenas cheered
flesh ad bone shifting cape elite confused
quivering muscles mouth viscous blood-red
law spurned poet dramatist painter stirred
expert pianist guitar player classically skilled
poetic phenomenon freedom liberty sacrifice taught
light a thousand flamenco fires of darkness reason confronted
thou are but subterranean biology like all matter endowed
with but a spark of lust life easily ambushed betrayed snuffed
this is your pure youth white polished
marble fresh or bone china bowl of life fully rounded
you ride not high upon summit peaks or ridge rim but
deep in valley contemplation bottom sentenced grave fated
upon life’s word ripple rim many brown blood tears
fall for you cut out from heart centre in a corrida community
mourning every leaf fallen from Spanish passion trees
withers already a few begin to merge into mud
viewpoint ridges away distance horseback astride merged
you appear legless riding down into death cloud

poignant pure youth flame white passion polished

Reborn
Sub-aqua marine blue
accosts my [limpet] eyes
my retinae shrink
childhood parties, balloons nestling against
my [naked] knees
The depths of the [saline] sea
seen from the Arahura,
Acrid, acid the salty, sandy seawater
Sprays up and I inhale
all that
is [suffuse] sea
blue
the
Blue green dark wine water
embracing me now
with the warm comfort
of a long lost
yet now sought womb.

Guidance Absence Prudence
“God chooses
God keeps secrets
too many secrets”
far too many
guidance is there any
for life decisions heavy?
We need a little guidance
more faith more patience
forbearance offers balance.

Heroin
Death is a rider on a pale horse, Honey.
Yah roll up your sleeve and yah lay down your money.
Death is a rider on a pale horse.
A cord around your arm and the needle hunts your vein.
You'll starve in your dreams with the lotus in your brain.
Death is a rider on a pale horse.
There's blood in your eyes, and your time's not free.
Selling it like that will get yah HIV.
Death is a rider on a pale horse.
Death is a rider on a pale horse, Honey.
Yah roll up your sleeve and yah lay down your money.
Ya, death is a rider on a pale horse.
After Love Is Lost
after love
is lost
the final turn
the rose
is beautiful forever
is sustained
the Lotus
must remain
soul pure
aloft
in
aloneness

The Truth Written Within Us
If God is truly within us as God claims?
Then truth written in our soul there retains?
The answer to life questions in our souls we may seek.
Deep within God wrote words of wisdom truth that speak.
How can we accept knowledge of what can be found there?
God gave our conscience to discern truth do not despair.

Death Where Is Your Bitter Sting?
Death where is your sting?
Yes I am conscious that I will die.
But I am living sacred life gift purpose defined.
No fear of death wars soul with judgement weight.
No love of riches anchors soul to life loss fears.
I smile laugh at transitory mortality.
Death embrace when you will.
