Free range child Not that I had your trust But there were #mountains To rebuff my advances At their base a library Home of lore forgotten What stood upon their rocky caps What was beyond the peaks Dusty pages showed me Not just what I would find But how to cross And still be home by dinner #vss365

Good influence or bad? I'm a little under the weather but trying to get in some time on the clock. They think I should join them and just curl up for the day. Choices choices.

You are both sun and #cloud Stars and eclipse of the moon Rays turning to showers Midnight illumination hidden Wolves in the distance Some days you grip strong Some nights hands dangle at your side Your gaze toward the masked dawn Wil you light the world? Will you shadow your end of times? #vss365

How do you believe in God But not in me I stand before you in flesh that bleeds You offer no #reprieve I share your prayers I wash my face in your church waters #Purify my soul in the Chalice Well You wash your hands of me I will honor you and walk away Mortal until and beyond the day I die #vss365

I am the moon drift Leading the wanderers Who sleep during the day I renounce your bitterness As the sun denies the darkness More than it is due I reckon with lies Dry tears and kiss smiles I am the wolf howling Just before dawn Calling to its children To sleep again #vss365 #reckon #renounce

Quick fix Push the pain forward Kick the deity down the road They don’t like it But it only leaves a slight bruise They asked me once “For what do you hunger? With salvation it might be granted” I said it didn’t matter Whatever I consume today Will just get crapped out tomorrow #vss365 #hunger

Lost my intensity Perhaps at the hardware store Traded in for refuse bags Or maybe it sloughed off In grocery stoor aisles I'm now as bland As frozen foods in my cart No more #passion No songs to sing Did it rain today I'm reflected in a puddle I'm reflected in the grey Of a broken tv screen #vss365

When should children be told They've embarked on a journey That is an adventure But also a trauma A web of intentions A mad man’s vision Sometimes we bleed How young is too young To teach them to love But also tell them There will be stormy times That force them toward hate #vss365 #embark #stormy

Conflict Between my skin and your touch Taste and the sweetness of life Emotions and the will to be Conflict Feeds the root of being Keeps the eyes from seeing Brought you near Drove us on the journey Conflict We nursed it as a baby Gave it our strength Embraced it in all its glory #vss365 #conflict

You move slowly down the aisle Your desk has not changed We watered the plant Leaves spill across dusty papers Work that kept another day How important is it anyway We #marvel that you've returned I think I understand There's the quiet of death at home Nothing that won’t keep another day #vss365

In visions you look happy Dressed up fine For a Pan Am flight to New York City Shiny shoes Dress of pink with blue Chauffeur wearing gloves Black cap close cropped hair In this world you weren't poor A world in which I was never born It brings me joy even if You'll never know my name #vss365 #glove

Wonderful cameo by Peter Gabriel in the latest episode of Silo. His music has been used twice in the show prior. I was already a huge PG fan when this album took the world by storm. I haven't played it in a long time. 1986 was a crazy, pivotal, time in my life. I'm traveling back there now.

I have a painting of you Looks like a #poster You are my rock star A literary giant I admire A great leader who held my hand When the troubles came They say cut the #cord Put down the torch Shatter the mug with your name Who are they anyway I’d rather drift out to sea Then try to begin again #vss365

The crow stole the doll’s comb Put it in the matchbox Tied it shut with Barbie hair A gift for the rabbits Who distracted the child That set the muffin down Crumbs then gathered To feed them all A shrewd ploy Earth kept spinning The circle of life #vss365 #comb #matchbox #shrewd

The wooded path remains Where I once walked Holding your hand No ache in my hip No pain in my heart To the right Behind wild roses Is where we first made love Doesn’t seem so #remote now Someone recently built a fire Our grandchildren’s generation I scatter your ashes Where love once burned #vss365

I carry regrets A leaf pulled by the river Swirling toward shore Only to be swept back up By the currents of shame The undertow of feelings Too long unsaid Rocks ahead I no longer Remember smooth waters There is no blame Only a destiny written In a distant time By someone elses hand #vss365 #ashamed

Nanci died 5 years ago today at age 68. I was lucky enough to see her live several times. An amazing songwriter and storyteller, master of interpreting others songs, crusader for peace and justice. Her music came into my life when I really I needed it, and I will carry her words in my heart forever.

I cling to a past that never existed Like the imaginary friend Emerging from the closet at 2AM Doing battle with the creature under the bed Created memories of happy times I can share with my friends Use to build a foundation Of a person that can be more Then I've ever managed to be #vss365 #cling

You found me lost Weak Seemingly beyond repair Long un-watered Without seed Without root Your thumb green Heart gold Showed me a #garden Led me slowly there Untrusting I did not want to lie In the bed prepared Rain came Past washed away Time will tell If roots will take But for now They grow #vss365

Who invented the doughnut Was it an act of grace? If I could ask the doughnut Would it tell me ‘I was made this way’ Or when I eat the doughnut hole Separated at birth Do I kill a piece of its soul? An evil act of desecration Or maybe it's spelled donut And I should move on with my day #vss365 #evil

I'm reposting this because I'm excited you can now hide individual users reposts from your feed. Already used it. If you repost creative works I'm all for it. If you repost an endless stream of politics, even if I agree with it, I'm hiding them. Also, don't hide my reposts, I promise to be good.

Move along Move along home Love turned to toil Do you remember The chill we felt Our hands meeting in soil Calm to chaos Feelings would sprout Passions would boil The earth is sterile now Living only to be Each others foil Move along Move along home No urge to toil #vss365 #toil #sprout #urge #chaos

As I begin work on my next book of poetry I want to point you to my publication More Than a Whisper. I'm very proud of this work and the tales it tells. You're sure to see yourself in it & the world we share. You'll get a few snapshots of the dude in the picture too. Link in the comments. #poetry

I saw truth It was in the #chaos of your face I tried to touch you Could only reach The low hanging #fruit Easy answers Packaged & perfectly sliced Dad's apartment Truth sliding slowly Into couch cushions Fun house mirror reflections Answers tantalizing Never in the place I’d keep my heart #vss365

You'd tend the gardens Never to my words You'd tend to friend requests Never to my hearts desires You needed to tend To the currents That steered me away You'd tend only to The rocks along the shore I'd tend to cry Beside you in the dark You would never Pretended to understand #vss365 #tend

Born in stillness Nature’s grace Single sprout Crown of #creation Raise your head See that you are not alone Root deep To share the message Spread your arms So we as one May shade the others Shiver in winds Anticipation of rain Life dripping down Earth to be filled With sisters and brothers #vss365

We steady you As you #descend into arms of babes It’s important they remember you this way You fit a piece of the puzzle One of 50 It's a lot to you and them The children giggle Playfully fight over the rest You laugh too Encourage and aid We watch knowing The picture will be complete soon #vss365

I thought my soul would #ascend But what the Maker needed Were spare parts Supply chains were down Thanks to the war My eyes Which broke your heart Stare from the face Of a lost child Feet which couldn't dance Stumble in broken land Hands that wrote my words Light a fire needed to survive #vss365

Energy sapped Trying to recover love we had Too weak to leave Too stubborn to admit I was wrong If I give in at all You’ll double down and so will I I #shift the art on the wall You still haunt me From the pictures you're not in I never asked to be served I’m sorry you've had to wait so long #vss365

No reflection in the cat’s eyes He’ll share his warmth But nothing of his soul I let him roam Taking wisdoms journey Never looking back to say goodbye When I despair Missing his purr He turns up at the door Ready to share his prey Eyes even darker Than they were before #vss365 #turn

Wipe me clean I will build by beliefs At the buffet of feelings & dreams Find a perfect balance A salad of many colors Variety to spur wonder Main course of protein & fiber To bind it all together Desserts to top me off Voice in my head saying You must treat yourself So eat the rich #vss365 #balance

You worry about me See a stare into the distance Am I losing my mind As my mother did? You find my slightly tilted smile A sign of madness Call my gaze vacant When in fact My thoughts are full Memories frolicing Across fields where grows All that was All that will never be #vss365 #frolic

#Apprehension in your eyes I carried the smell of the recently divorced Hint of fear mixed with scent of loss Eyes glancing about in case she walked in It was a small town after all Your #appraisal surely told you I was damaged goods She hadn’t wanted me anymore How could I be a good man #vss365

I build a beach around my heart Slow raging ocean waves Each #grain lost I replace Some Are love I have to give that no one takes Dreams worn down I still remember Desires embers that were once fire No retreat From the full moons forces Over crashing I still hear My voice as it used to sing #vss365

Some flee the rain Laughing as they escape Pull off their wet clothes Grabbing for a warm dry towel A brief glance at the exposed body Of the friend for whom they hide their desire I stand in the rain Embrace the tears of God Running gently across me As the hands of a lover #vss365 #pull

You ask for a Cetera All I have is a Kath Once that was enough You'd #lurch along To a rocking beat Before life slowed down Lights out at 10 A ballad to bring on sleep If you leave me now I wont reinvent myself You can sway into the sunset I’ll stay up all night Write some words at 6 to 4 #vss365

I laughed when you called me a #fiend My head filled with images Of a mustache twirling villain But you laughed too Asked if I remembered Perils of Pauline The poor girl tied to the tracks Ready to be ravaged by the train I said I did and you smiled As I realized that was what you were into #vss365

Another of my poems has found it's way into the world with the publication of New York, Great Cities Vol. 3 by Pure Slush. This is the second of their anthologies I have been in as I also had a poem in Vol. 1, Paris. Now If they do one for Boston I can hit the trifecta. #poems #NewYork #poetry

I'd sit on the grass Lean on a log Never thinking about the truth That it once was alive I couldn’t identify the birds But still soaked up their song Those memories grow distant The breeze they ride upon still Crickets drowned out by heartbeats Nature lost to love no longer felt #vss365 #distant

When did you first see this in the theater? For me it was winter of 80/81, Boston Massachusetts. At midnight of course. A friends mother used to say nothing good ever happens after midnight. Perhaps, but sometimes that is the point. There's a light in the darkness of everybody's life.
