fog
First Smoke, Then Mirrors
*
Mist as incense rises
before the dawning sun,
each wave aglow
with his light
As slowly the sun
ascends higher,
every tidal pool
inlet and bay
all creeks and streams
image his face of fire.

COWS AND CHINCHILLAS
Cows and chinchillas
find a world mean and chilly
in the fur stores and the
con carne chili.

LILY'D BOGS
Immersed in fog
in the lily'd bog
live polliwogs
before they're frogs
In Italian woods
goes Francis unshod
on the path
to oneness with God

ORGANIC
Anything which kills
little bug beings
can accumulate
to kill big beings.
WHEN RAINDROPS FALL DOWN
When raindrops
fall down
they sometimes
leave crowns
as the descent
of grace
does fearfulness
erase.
Blind love~realized disguise~rap of life~line~time
aches & pains sever the line.
the train i've been tryin' to ride,
came off the tracks.
so here I am,
i'll just sit back on this dirt ground,
the air is thick with fog, while the sky cries,
there's a blue & black cloud bringin' me down..
money burning all around, while you starve & whine-
out of food now.. without love you've spent too much time.
i'm not a mother fucking slot machine,
so quit shoving in your two, three, four, five cents,
i'll spit it right back out!
while you're at home, feeding your addictions..
greed, alcohol, drugs & sex..
i'll be taking care of all these convictions.
you're not good at fuckin manipulation,
cause in your words I can taste it,
the lies you've coughed out,
fucking corn syrup, cough syrup,
preservatives, fucking sick shit.
disgusting scent, you reek of dishonesty.
I never believed in you, cause you never believed in me.
i'll be gone before you can count to 3..
never again will you see me..
blind, kind, innocent blackness seeping into your mind..
darkness consumes, your night is full of gloom.
into the heavens you cannot see,
because the pits of hell have taken over,
run away, lest it devours me.
sorry I couldn't help you,
the rope you tied around my neck got worn & broke.
so to this i'll take a toke,
the sheets were torn,
your eyes bled melting plastic,
& your heart withered in scorn...
Fog
A walk in the dark; feels immense, never ending
Those days when the wind whispers lullabies gently
Engulfed in his thoughts, trees carry him off
The wood guides him to an obscure place in the fog
Surreal yet ominous; what it feels to linger here
Best not hamper the placidness, or be caught unaware
He winds upon a majestic tree and stops to stare
Realizing in awe how grand it really must be out there
Foggy Night
Walking down the street on a foggy night
Living in a world so dim with so little light
It's as shrouded as my future seems
And even quieter than my dreams
So foggy here, nothing can be seen
Like a world created from a movie screen
It's quiet here, calm and dark
No people talk, no dogs bark
The street lights are now glowing balls
The fog enclosed streets are like dark halls
Extending a little into the night
Until they are faded out of sight
On this night it's so cold outside
As I wonder what the darkness may hide
Dark creatures with glowing eyes?
People with hearts as black as the skies?
On this night I can't see far
Can't see the light of moon or star
Foggy night, what mysteries do you hold
In the dark and shrouded cold?
This night so still, there is no breeze
To swirl the fog, or sway the trees
And as I walk I hear no sound
Save my footsteps upon the ground
Yet in the dark, there's clarity
Which gives the light by which to see
I now know no matter how foggy the future seems
Like this night, it's full of dreams
Incubated
Despite the tiny hands
drawing faces and writing names.
The frost covered window
manages to cloth itself
in a new layer of fog
on a cold rainy day.
Closing out sight
from the outside world.
Fog
The fog descends
On drifts of air
It sits patiently
Over city and town.
Stays for the day,
Then disappears.
