my life now
full of images
mind full of light
body in
activities
reason
and
imagination
arise
together
at times
in no
contradiction
embracing
like lovers

it all comes back / what my loving was
it all comes back
what my loving was
i understand when i see you
it all makes sense
i look at your face
it fits some image complete
before suspected
now bright and sharp as morning
all thoughts and hopes
scattered previously land
i remember certain ones
comprehend all of them
even those i had lost
due to sadness or grief
***

love
i fall in love with
distant mountains
i fall in love with
certain moments
i fell in love
one night
with a moon
over a white wall
and three stars
that reminded me of you
and i had not
even met you
til now

there are some reasons / why a woman loves a man
there are some reasons
why a woman loves a man
she will never tell him
a woman's prerogative
she loves him for things
he will never know about
though he might think
he'll never know why
he might tell her
but true love is never
fully explained

feelings are not memories / and memories are marks
feelings are not memories
and memories are marks
like trails on a blackboard
that all fade
formed
from ghostly dust
what i felt was invented
from a mind full
of desires
from a ego full of plans
tricks and traps
full of feelings

corcoran / a country road
corcoran
a country road
hint of rain
talking
to a friend
about bliss
eternity
all around
wind blowing
golden hue
over farms
scatter of birds
across the view
in the now
where does
this world end
and heaven start
in equanimity
in corcoran
i do not know

on june 16 / blooms day we met
on june 16
blooms day
we met
over lunch
and i said
you should say
things in
the mirror
to show
kindness
to your
own self
like
i love you
i love you
i love you
then it
rained
as we
walked
to the car
each one
of us
with a
styrofoam
container
dotted
with drops

this poem for you
a poem for you
how we might
strive all day long
in solitude
but be unaware
of any loneliness
this means we are
well involved
in the work that
can make us closer
to others
opening our heart
to motivations
beyond hope and
fear
entering
a kind of
gratitude
after much
hard effort
calm vision
of the gifts
that follow

darkness
going into darkness
after maintaining high hopes
what is done
is done to one's self
through the consolations of the self
these lapses
in the aim for temporary comfort
lead to the opposite and no reprieve
the dog returns
to his own vomit the singer to his song
the wind never stops blowing as the wind

the heart travels far / across the whole universe
the heart travels far
across the whole universe
and universes of universes
you can't catch them
break or take them
only admire how they are
you might shed a tear
if you do that is good
can make your heart better
you'll affectionately
see all the hearts around you
coming and going with this life

there's a beautiful road / on a blue sky sunny day
for Heather
there's a beautiful road
on a blue sky sunny day
wind keeps blowing
in a refreshing way
playing a symphony
of rustling trees
the curling waving
flicking sun-dappled leaves
of elms maples and pines
when i hear this song
i stop from my ride
and i wonder how such
clear loud beauty
so serene yet active
can exist
yet it does
without a single word
devoid of all thought
and having no fears
wind keeps blowing
in a refreshing way
playing a symphony
a beautiful road
on a blue sky sunny day

i dream i am taller / and it is just a dream
i dream i am taller
and it is just a dream
this being amusing
and also irritating
laying in bed
looking at the extra
two or three feet
extended at my shins
like in charlie and the
chocolate factory
who was the kid stretched
mike tv that's me
three in the morning
with daddy long legs

when you live your life/ knowing you don't
when you live your life
knowing you don't
have infinite time
to go here or there
while life is sweet
but time is turning too
appreciation of place
and setting
of sentiment
or simple gesture
becomes acute

insert time here
insert time here
in diminishing amounts
but each moment
as infinite as the last
as we move forward
the past takes on a red tinge
like from the taillights
of a car or speeding plane
as we move forward
the future is lit white
like from searchlights
from a battleship

or how / your goodness to me
my recollections
are distortions
mostly self-serving
but some
are innocent constructions
prayer
images hovering
a fondly remembered
vignette
or how
your goodness to me
will never go away

how could anywhere not be as nice / as the place we are now
going to a foreign country
where no one is ever unhappy
and nothing bad happens
after a few seasons
you forget what home was like
someone asks you how it was
you think it must have been nice
how could anywhere not be as nice
as the place we are now
