Brazen

toothpick musing
 a lingering suggestion
  rapture.

intricate with freedom
 Oceans intent
Reason with feelings
 Ocelot's revision

imprinted in sinew
 a welcome invitation
fellowship in vision

raspy threads snag, sing chorus of the dead
 the river of the wandering ones.  watchful eyes give
in time resounding in
 a signature of selection
  system for initiation
instant decision. Brazen.

Convey Meaning

Lost in an open-hearted
 fissure of sadness
I forget where I am
 fuel for following, allowing the fall

I have no rest
 except in the stress
expectations seem to fall
 out of place.

duress
time to waste
 time to wait.

I speak easy
 and everyone is my friend.

Convey meaning.

Everyman's Parade

Reservations,
Accredited.

Hardly fallen
Till you sit back up
Again,

Again!

And well, there is this sadness
But sparks fly high I see,

A heading:
Depart and relieve,
Birds and bees,

Boldness conceived.
Is this Justice?

A lady is well pleased, and passing
The frontier of everyday:
Every man's parade.
New life brimming; a stark initiation
profession of validity

 a profound enunciation
 a song from some one else's lips.

 a pool drips, swells the empty
       puddles, a well.

Tell Me Something New

All these words have emphasis
All these words are emptiness

Devoid of meaning
Reaching or grasping for feeling

That or this
Us and them
Me and you

Tell me something new, friend
And keep it like a secret

A blossom to be awoken
(Growing river of the spoken)

Spinning wheels and hands that feel
The shape of a dreamer

But it makes no difference
Pick a paddle
Send me swimming.

Tell me what do you see
In the garden of our friendship

Open, and growing in amazement
This full alabaster spoke and unspoken

Spinning wheels and hands that feel
The shape of a note unopened

But it makes no difference
Ever known
Pick a day
Send me swimming

The ocean of refrain
Or the currents of delivery

Day after day
Tell me the shape of your dreams
