three hours of anticipation
slumber in the carriage,
yet an eye opens for a signal
of a blue horizon
to draw over unsalted lands.

Hills beckon seagrass
along trails wind-curved,
my feet stir the toes
in desire of warm sand walks.

You see, comfort awaits
beyond the glass, its breath
carried from the Pacific, buffers
dunes into Sahara cousins;
footprints converge to ridges

They call me the first
working prototype,
it's something difficult to believe in.
If slumber was an option,
the night of inaction would implant
godlike thoughts into logical dreams
and question, and question.

I don't dream.

"Shut down" is the nearest I'll imagine
to being in some human rest-state;
sleep if only, if only,
this nagging doubt of "letting go".

My brother, the warrior, died on
a distant battlefield. His wife sleeps
in the garden tonight on a blanket
by the pond, shes my woman now.
Gave herself to me but for her heart
and a memory that cant be erased,
when natures war thundered overhead.
In moonlight shes a statue of ebony
with a Janus mask of hidden longings.
She dreams and smiles, a beam from
a heart full of love for her warriors

And fear the 'duldrums' of stilled wit

We lay anchor in a reflective cove
And contemplate the midnight stars
Setting course for the next day's journey

And off the port and starboard bows
we see the signals of other poets
aboard their fellow ships.

To love and comfort when you fall,

If you look out to sea
for long enough,
one uncalled day
the shoreline will be witness
to a mermaid's tragedy;
her fins snared in nets
dicarded, beyond repair.
Her last hours cast
too high upon the sands,
shifting dunes entombing
her unsalvaged hair.

I know this,
for today's tideline
leaves behind scales,
beautiful in their iridescence,

shores and join you there just in
time for us to see the last sunset.

on the other side being greener.
It was capable enough
to stain my bare feet
wherever I stood.

From the hunter green of wanderlust,
through prejudice and envy green,
over open meadows of chartreuse and lime,

I never left my yard.

What is this feeling prized the most in life,
Elusive as a butterfly in spring,
Emotion which can cause the greatest strife,
Or lift the heart and make the spirit sing?
Men and women revel in its power,
And sometimes kill in order to obtain,
The one they dream of every waking hour,
While others learn emotions to contain.
When mutually experienced by two,
Its overwhelming force binds souls as one,
And life takes on a heightened rosy... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Jean Lewis) http://allinapen.yuku.com/topic/1531 Tue, 12 Mar 2002 08:37:18 GMT <![CDATA[ only got a kiss on the cheek ]]> http://allinapen.yuku.com/topic/1536/t/only-got-a-kiss-on-the-cheek.html wish it were more

Smoke, rubble, dig, dig.
Dream them back into the world again.
Buckets of matter,
grids of madness;
the skyline a comb
with missing teeth.

At the mouth of the bedrock
a putrid crater moans,
formed from
the absence of a heart.
Somewhere in a cave
an insanely blank stare.

I'm thirty six,
and you, my friend,
you're not just a joker.

The bench keeps the cards,
in stacks for the next play,
inbetween Knaves and elusive Aces
we try to keep our cool;
crisp white shirts will remain
ours, whatever.

I'm thirty six,
and you, my trusted ally,
you're the rare hand
of lasting friendship.
