A mile from the Tolls (9/2006)
Uglier than mud on roadside snow left behind by a storm gone by..
The shriek of tires spinning, silky wet pavement.. So dark.
Awakening at the sound of lightning, the sight of invisible thunder.
Dizzying stench of hair burning.. Shallow breathes, eyes open with fear.
A splash of fate, washed away into the cracked mirror gazing back.
A touch of limbo, peacefully taking me under its mysterious spell.
A pinch of sedation, pointing me in the direction of the heavens.
Sleep. Yearning for everlasting sleep, unaware of the shadows creeping in.

Mystic Sunset ( 8/22/98 )
Images melt the horizon
paint my soul, open my eyes
sky bleeds through the rear view mirror
Sun sets, thin clouds crash into
distant hillsides. Colors drift in
between puffs of smoke. I smile,
sigh, breath light, let my spirit fly.
Forgotten memories, thoughts
drift in evening sky, only
cool summer breeze awakens
me, rear view mirror exposes
my past, yesterday's black tears

Patience
Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart
and try and love the questions themselves...
Do not now seek the answers
which cannot be given you
because you will not be able to live them
and the point it, to live everything!
Live the questions now.
Perhaps then you will gradually, without noticing it
live along some distant day into the answer.

Memories of a dream ( 1/23/99 )
Through the years I have learned what life has to offer and give
I was taught to open up my heart, my eyes, my mind, and believe
recalling memories which burn, even some of warm smiles sent my way
late night painful tears of loss, and of skies which would never turn gray
regrets of things which could of been, people who could of stayed
family slowly dissolving in the wind, all I could of done is prayed
the dust from the wheels turning stings my vision, my strong desire
blurry goals once to be lived, ended up on the side like flat tires
memories of an old dream still fresh in my head, never letting go
in the days to come I will try and forgive and maybe then I will finally know...

Surviving
There is no shortcut through this rain
no reason to bypass this horrible pain
faith alive and hope burns with desire
strength shows through my eyes like fire
belief stays upon my destiny, my soul alive
must move on, must believe, must strive
living a dream, wishing on a star in the sky
surviving this pain, refusing to break down and cry
laughing in the storm, crazy, late at night
will not lose, will not give up this fight...

Meditation
Charming water drops
inviting beauty
peaceful thoughts
I breathe
The guru of mind
chilling memories
creeping snail
I breathe
Morning sunset
wild cat's laughter
shocking screams
I breathe
Slow filtering
washed away negative
sailing away
I breathe
A simple smile
afternoon delight
a woman's joyful tear
I breathe
And to think
only a moment
passing by
I breathe...

Curious moves
Sleeping within closed walls
appearing to us as strength
feeding is the key to being sane some say
napping is the hold in the old couch
curiosity killed the cat, a famous lie
I beg to differ
maybe a car, a giant dog from outer space
who knows the mystery here
shriveled up, a dead corpse sleeps tight
the evening's breeze send a brittle shiver
to her, it is the smell, the sight of falling leaves
curiosity killed the cat perhaps
wondering where I am, we are
small meaningless poets
no one is curious, we all are
we move on...

Courage ( 12/6/98 )
false thoughts cross my mind, knowing she had lied
remembering the long days, the nights which I cried
the snow outside drifts, the wind blows strong
a learning experience, refusing that I was wrong
my heart heals, welcomes a new dream of hope
happiness surrounds me now, I can finally cope
hate has been stored away, put off for yet another day
cannot find rage, relief found within, vision no longer gray
tonight stars seem to dance around the big bright moon
like flowers in the spring, they seem to simply bloom
forgetting and forgiving, able to sleep with some warmth
finally understanding why, some people call this growth
taking a long walk on a cold December morning, letting out a deep sigh
smiling as the courage returns, for yet another day goes by...

despair
rusted advice from me hangs by your head like old mold
like a stone, or some sort of disease which we all dread
finding my way behind your teeth, reaching for your scars
I would offer you my heart beat if it would do any good
my hazel eyes, if it would heal the pain
in your grave, I will tremble in sorrow...
I realized that the dim light which shined so bright
surrounds you too - does not fade...
I would offer you my brittle breathe, my sight
if it would do any good...

memories of a dream ( memories of my grandfather)
through the years I have learned what life has to offer and give
I was taught to open up my heart, my eyes, my mind, and believe
recalling memories which burn, even some of warm smiles sent my way
late night painful tears of loss, and of skies which would never turn gray
regrets of things which could of been, people who could of stayed
family slowly dissolving in the wind, all I could of done is prayed
the dust from the wheels turning stings my vision, my strong desire
blurry goals once to be lived, ended up on the side like flat tires
memories of an old dream still fresh in my head, never letting go
in the days to come I will try and forgive and maybe then I will finally know...

Saba ( grandpa in Hebrew)
a strong wave of bitterness engulfs me now
eyes open wide, brings me back to a sacred time
illness and death, white walls pained with fresh blood
outside, the breeze is calm, trees swing violently with rage
cannot find peace or rest, my spirit grows with unwelcomed frustration
mysterious moves, a secret never to be told
a hidden world behind these walls, I am dazed
tears roll down my aching face, the sky grows cold
within these thoughts I search for some kind of fragile hope
lost and confused, a little boy not sure of where I am
slowly drifting further away, almost gone
an old wise man once told me believe
how to be, who to trust, and how to give
but now he is gone, and I am all alone
wishing I had listened to his words, his eyes
forgiving and forgetting is not an option, cannot surrender to these lies...
