We're Only A Dream

Far into the distance
amid cumulus clouds
where colors mold
Aurora Borealis skies,
you and I stroll.

Two people, joined hands,
and joined hearts. Each
knowing the other, only here,
where...we're only a dream.

I loved you in silence

Sometimes there are no words
to express the depths of love,
just vestiges of a steady heartbeat.

In these silent times
emotion is so profound,
a single word destroys
love's true essence.

Search my soul;
feel what my eyes,
hands and actions say.

Know that I have
loved you in silence.

Lunar Eclipse

Languishing in the moment
of lunar eclipse,
heart, mind and soul
were lost to the velocity
of earth and moon in
nocturnal dance.

Gila Mountains

Please take a look at my newest piece here.

It's not worth it

I could care less
about fame and riches.

Some wrap it around their shoulders,
others wear it on their fingers.
Name in lights, yes there are those.
A home in Beverly Hills, three million dollars,
fame is costly.

I think of those hypnotized by the glitter...
funny how the sparkle washes away in the
morning light when death's stench has set in;
some poor sap with to much money overdosed
of twenty thousands dollars worth of cocaine.

Money sure can buy you anything.

That actress, she looked different when she started out
all wholesome and well...REAL
i think i saw something familiar in her face, she
turned sideways and the feeling went away, vanished
in the plastic which coats her bones. When she's laid to rest
parts of her will take years to decay...if they ever do. Her
fame didn't buy her immortality, however it did by her a nice
set of boobs.

I've decided money and fame CAN get you somewhere,
it's the somewhere that's scary. i'd rather not buy into it;
i'm rather content in my little corner of the world,
struggling in the real world, pinching pennies
and shopping at Wal-mart.

I did have five minutes of fame once. A nod, oh not for an Oscar,
no this nod presented itself with a slap on a back and a certificate
stating "A Job Well Done"... i hated the attention it drew.. i was
red faced for over an hour... Yeah fame isn't for me.

I guess i'll go to my grave rich in life and my fame will consist
of the moment i missed my seat at Furr's Cafeteria and ended
up on the floor.....my chair went one way, i went the other.
Now that was a scene which should have made millions.

Oh well, at least i'll decay the way a human is supposed to. My body
returning to dust. Nothing polluting the ground which the next
generation will have to clean up.

I could care less
about fame and riches.
