When A Waking Dream Can No Longer Speak In Words
The moment I awoke I knew the dream would end in silence…
Sometimes in the waking a dream can no longer speak
the dream awoke …
with a stutter and a stir
it tried to find
in my mind
words to complete
a story unfolding
– boldly
in slumber
in death
a sleep with an end
and a dream
– with words
unable to speak …
– a dream struggling to complete itself
Images For Android Phones: The Dark Outside My Window
the film ends
no longer a starring role
outside my window
the darkness
is collecting its toll
are you there
feeling it’s unfair
– our lost
you have to bare
sitting there
– with empty seats
and
ending dreams
no starring role
here
just the things
we sometimes fear…
Images For Android Phones: A Light At The End Of The Hallway
the film rolls
in secrets
with shadows
taking their toll
a light
with no day
in dark corners
in which to play
alone
– afraid
stoned
at the end
of the hallway

Heading north from downtown Greenville on the Swamp Rabbit Trail. The SRT is an old railroad line. Now a crossway trail for bikes, runners etc. Here I am approaching The clock tower at Furman University with Paris Mountain in the background (a great place for mountain biking). At this point I am about 8 miles north of downtown Greenville.

Images For Android Phones: A Painting In A Gallery
A painting
In more than one color
Where everything comes to life
A touch of red
A splash of blue
A hidden purpose
So true
A museum full of beautiful light
The sounds of our chatter
Throughout the day and night
In awe
In silence
It’s what the artist thought that matters
Escaping something here
Finding something there
… and
Renewing all with his mind
An abstraction so fine
It’s beautiful you know
What he has found
With the palette knive
Pressed in silent sound
Shaping
Forming
… and
Teleporting
This gallery space
To another far-off place
It’s art when you see it
Art when you feel it
Art when you know it
And art when you love it
A painting
Of light and shadow
A painting
In more than one color Where everything comes to life
A touch of red
A splash of blue
A revealing purpose
So true
Images For Android Phones: A Window In A Dark Room
Painting in one color
A black as dark as coal
So dark it feels endless
It’s time to pick another color
Or look out a different window
Catch a thought or two
See things in another light
As the room collapses
Like falling cards
Entangled with the other’s calling
Like the dream that’s always falling
The blue sky outside
And my blurry eyes … blinking
Can’t save me from inside
The dark room in which I reside.

looking over the horizon
along the railroad tracks
i wonder where
… in silence
this train will take me
it’s lonely here
… in isolation
not unlike
a place
i used to know
I Keep Standing On The Corner Waiting On My Own (A Robyn Remix)
The city series….
On the corner, on my own
some things feels like destiny…
some things never change
standing on the corner
waiting on my own
never knowing which direction
I should go
it’s all for show
you know
waiting on the corner
with nowhere to go….

In the translucent sound of night, the color of things to come were just beyond the stars….
The loving heart
Creation is such an elusive thing, for the more we think we are in control, the more we remove ourselves from the actual creation. – Betty Jean Billups

Post Canvas And Paint: Abstract 03 – The Consuming Sky
As the sky fell to earth I heard a memory, and it was not so long ago that I fell in love….
The consuming sky
A poet feels the impulse to create a work of art when the passive awe provoked by an event is transformed into a desire to express that awe in a rite of worship. – W. H. Auden

Not The Kiss Your Mother Used To Give You (When She Wanted You To Leave The Room)
The city series….
Standing by the curb
So you think you’re a man….
You think you know what she is trying to tell you. Sitting by the curb with your new Trek bike. With your boys. Trying to be cool.
Looking cool … Being defiant.
Did you even listen? Is there any clue?
Baby Boy Blue
As to why she decided on … you?
Yeah I know, you think it’s because of the ball you play. Or the things you say. Just yesterday she gave you that look. When you helped her with her books. Were you listening then? When it was your hand she took. Yeah I know. It’s all about the tool of the trade. And not feeling like you’ve been made. Is it good to know? Keep the show? Or stay in the flow? Yeah, it’s a tough day and what a blow.
You sitting on the curb with your boys.
Being her toy.
But did you even know
That kiss….
Is not the kiss
Just for show….
