​Its Only Words

It’s only words that fill this page
My thoughts passing through this age
Why are you reading me I’d like to know?
Is it simply because I put them on show
The question arises why do I?
Bare my soul let you pry
The only reason I can figure outIs that myself I must doubt
For if I were so sure and content
I would in silence know what is meant
One fine day after I have untangled my rhythm
I’ll come to this conclusion a final decision
That my poetry is but for me learning curve
The journey in which I myself observed
To find that all words are but emotions
Spelling in drops into a vast ocean
So for now read my dictations from the heart
I’ll soon be gone will have to depart
For I will be wiser and so very sure
Its only words there’s so much more

​MOONSHINE

She milked the moon for sunshine,
her sustenance
Collected and gathered wild stars that were
shooting out into sempiternity
When a veil of clouds covered the night sky
ready for bursting tomorrows reasons
Eye shutters closed curtains drawn on all incoming
thoughts
Into a dreamy poetical privacy of awakenings
she drifted
Sometimes even the darkness was just that little
bit to bright
Her imagination lit up the Universe already

​SHADOWS OF THE TONGUE

When you read this poem look between the lines and words
Those blank spaces hide the real message to be heard
Vibrational signals an intangible sequenced tone
We pick up the denser heavier frequency shown
Pauses and stops when the spirit breath enters
A silent place pure quietness without stentor
Every single letter that’s inked in a traced outline
Is but a shadow cast from the invisible noted rhyme
We cannot write with sacred light eyes never comprehend
Our souls the metaphysical allow us to take and bend
So to one another we converse speak the shadows tongue
Words are just coded echoes of a feeling already spun
Just as the stars light arrives to us so very much later
So do the thoughts we think through voice or on paper
From a place so deep as never could be described
A spark ignited coming in through a cosmic tide
Reverberations in song or scribed memories to become
Even us we are but shadows speaking the shadows tongue
