New Poem 12/19/2011

This one almost wrote itself.....if ya know what I mean.

Ephemeral

Do you still seek
The omniscent voice
In a dream transcending
Place and time
The one leaving you
Unsatisfied
Wanting always

Do you venture to find
 the mystery
The apparition
Of my innocence
Still lingering
Like a star
falling

Ghostly
Not I
The heat of the heart
Melts the ephemeral
What is vague is real
You have only to touch
To discover
Tangibility.

New Poetry : December 6, 2011

Been thinking about all the winds they've been having back in my hometown.  Here's my take:

An Ode to Santa Anna Winds

Petulant, angry gusts
that shove across
the desert floor,
whooshing,
howling,
dry as flint,
hot as tumbleweed cinder,
filling the night
with piercing cacophonies
of sleepless song,
stunning the silence
of a starless sky,
loud,
jarring,
running through nothingness
straight to walls and windows
passin’ through
on the way
to ocean’s end.
