in the fading light do i see

all the darkness washing

over me


nothing more do I know

falling face first in the snow





crimson stain spreads about

spring rains will wash it out.





steam arising from the maw
lonely dog licks his paw





in the darkness do i see

blinding light
washing
over me

melancholic manifestations

i sat on a hill
over looking the sea
a brilliant palette of
cherry,orange
blue black
and purple
did i see.

Horses and dragons
dancing past
how long will
the peace and
harmony last.

gentle breezes
wafting by
soaring geese
catch the eye

I sat on a hill
overlooking the sea
rockets and mortars
did i see

peace and harmony
have run away

welcome to
the bright new
day.

apathy

what did it
matter
that you
said you
still cared?
knowing
my soul was
bared
i was
scared
never shared
unprepared

where did
the days
go
craze, daze
full of praise

why was it so
hollow
when the dark
did
follow
what did it matter
now
that
bit is
gone
you
rest in
oblivion
addiction
submission
to the
apathetic nature
of the
topical anesthetic

border

Life on the border
sour smelly
odd stained dirt
gang signs in blood
bamboo stands
mesquite patch
scrub oak
colonias in
bright blue
electric green
homes
junkes
melting into each
other
life on the border

mind dance

Cherry blossoms
Dance by
Golden Eagles
soring high
purple sky
hazel rain
duck nips
at my hips
gentle tugs
lady bugs
call me to
awakening
dragging me
from
my splendid
dreams

aliens

Life on the border
en la frontera
rio bravo
rio grande
dark brown snake
slices through the
heart of a land
giving life
bringing death
rich dark
sod
gentle
nod
Hola Que Tal
Como Estas
Muy Bien
Damn Wets
tobbaco stained
spewing hate
Pobre Senor
Perdon
es mas late
estamos en el
pais
estamos en el
sangre
estamos en la
cultura
estamos en
ustedes
estamos en el
sangre del
pais.perdon.

Fair Stranger

Then comes the flight
of the Elven Princess
over,under
through my
defences
Then comes the flight
of the elven princess
showing her might as
flutterby's and butterfly's
take flight
Flowers she raises
from long deep sleeps
oranges, greens,
yellows and blues
flittering fluttering
as life renews
Then comes the flight
of the elven
princess
life and light
past my defences
