Distant Love

Oh, love from a distance
     Such passion is mine
     I never thought possible
     An ocean's deep mystery line
 
     Soulmate's hearts beat as one
     From only the written word
     Openness, honesty, is all it takes
     World history, such passion unheard
     
     Her beauty astounding,  angel in disguise 
     Jealous Kings of Europe would have fought war
     Her kindness and humor melt coldest hearts
     Brilliant and creative too, she makes my heart soar

     My distant soulmate, who I may never meet
     Shared love from a distance, a powerful, magical feat

I Should Have Stayed In Bed

Tried to stay in Dream Weavers world ,silenced alarm
     Back to dream weavers sow
     Hour late for work, I'm a charm
     Freeway flat tire, rain and snow

     Clothes soaking wet, slipped wrench injured hand
     So late for work, speeding ticket mine
     Boss shaking head, strike up the band
     Injured hand dropped heavy box, foot not fine

    Finally home, slipped on ice like sled
    I can see stars, 20 IQ points lost
    Broke arm too, in hospital rest my head
    Dream weavers world I'll stay, except now it will cost !

The Blacksmith

The Medieval vampire Blacksmith worked into the night
     Printing counterfeit money.
     Blacksmith, only one with metal safe
     To hold in storage town people's gold.

     The people gave him their gold
     Blacksmith gave paper promise
     Hence the birth of banking and paper currency...
     Blacksmith soon found that he could print extra 

      for himself, spend and buy at will !
      No one will notice ! I'm rich ! Eventually, people noticed 
      twice as much money to buy same pair of shoes !
      They scratched their heads, wanted their gold !

      The Blacksmith couldn't redeem certificates into gold,
      printed way too many for himself, so he fled.  Vampire 
      Blacksmith, alive in 2017, owns the banks, mass media
      and schools, brainwashed slaves satisfy his endless thirst.

      Trillions of dollars in interest every year on money 
      created out of thin air !  Biggest ripoff in human history 
      under own nose !  All IRS money pays interest to smiling fanged
      Blacksmith. A foreclosed home ? We see his fangs again !

      Blacksmith needs prison time ! Violating U.S.Constituion law, mandates 
      Gold !   Until the people wake up, the Blacksmith works late into the night,  
      creating counterfeit money.  Retirement worth half what it was, the 
      Vampire laughs at American people gullibility while drinking their blood

A Father's Love

While in my youth, heart pounding with life
     Father and son hiked nature's glory
     Climbed the tallest mountains, escape city strife
     Quaking Aspens surround, listen to their story

     Oh the sights of autum, every picture a masterpiece 
     Orange, yellow and red splashed with God's paint brush 
     Crisp autum air, blue sky above, sun a Golden Fleece
     Soundless footsteps, nature's soft carpet hush

     My father's soul, visits me at times, love surround 
     Emersed in nature's eternal power, I'm in tune
     A cool autum breeze, Quaking Aspen gentle music sound
     His spirit whispers to me, we'll climb mountains again soon

Rude Awakening

Sleep at night 
     Dreamworld's kite
     Morning light
     Open eyes, OH what a sight !
     Brown Recluse delight
     On my hand, next to nose, face turned white !
     Big brown spider clinging tight
     Jump from bed with all might
     Primal life or death fight
     Heart pounding flight 
     Rude awakening fright
     Lucky no bite
     Spiders crawling on me while asleep not right !

Tsunami

Oh Tsunami wave
     With your awesome power roar
     Take me to love deep








   Written for those who, if they were faced with a Tsunami, rather 
   than pathetically try to run, face and embrace the wonderful 
   afterlife ! :)
   I've been on the other side, I know how wonderful it is...beyond 
   words.

What Is Time

What is time ?  Einstein said it doesn't 
                              really exist like we think it does.
                                  It can change from fast to
                                     slow, twist and warp.
                                        Life's video goes
                                           very slow in
                                               time of
                                                  sad
                                               like I'm 
                                            traveling in
                                         snow, four feet
                                      deep.  Time speeds
                                   up, in love's rapture, do
                                not question where the time
                            went.  Lost forever in love's force.

1984 and Beyond

I awake to the sound of birds singing.  A faint memory of my dreamworld still      remains, the feeling of being held under water at a FEMA " Re-education" camp.  I wonder if reoccurring  nightmares mean anything ?  Probably not.
     I'm so happy that Hitlary Clinton won the election.  The New York Times article "Uranium One Deal" that proved Hitlary's sinister ties to Russia turned out to be "Fake News" according to Hitlary.  Now I go to work at the factory wearing a collar around my neck that protects me and all my fellow citizens from "Terrorists".  All of the law abiding citizens wear collars that track everything we do, everywhere we go, everything we say.  That way all terrorists will be removed immediately from our peaceful society. The collar also gives an electric shock for those lazy workers of the New World Order who aren't doing their fair share of the work required by law.
    The government gives us all that we could ever want.  Shelter, food, and medical care.  Bicycles, guns, motorcycles, swimming, hiking, sports, Marijuana, even bouncing on a Trampoline are too dangerous for a good, productive citizen of the New World Order.  Cars aren't allowed because of Global Warming ! 
     It's the law for women to be a hard worker AND stay pregnant.  No evil sex allowed, just artificial insemination from genetically superior males.  It's so important to have a genetically pure race.  The hard, 16 hr. per day, 7 days per week factory labor has a high turnover rate.    Lots of workers have to be permanently replaced. The need for a constant supply of New World Order babies never ends!  
    The government censors all movies, news, and schooling to promote peace and tolerance for all.  The two movies we are allowed to watch "World Peace" and "Evils of Free Enterprise"  are my favorite.  Under Obamacare,  after age 45, everyone is taken to the "Healing Hospital", never to be seen again. 
    The sound of birds singing reminds me of a time long past, but I can't remember it.  Something about a U.S. Constitution ? That's ok, I'm a proud member of the New World Order !

Sleep Well

Roommate heard through his bedroom wall 
     voice of a stranger in my room last night
     A strangers voice, definitely not me
     I was sleeping !  Caused me some fright.

     Concerned, not knowing who
     What psycho person would creep 
     into my room while sleeping and talk ?
     Roommate's mind starting to seep ?

     What could I do? Keep my dog close
     Lock windows and doors, no choice !
     Dream weaver came and I awoke
     My own loud alien, deep voice !

      Ancient language, voice not my own
      A great leader's confident command.
      A previous life, long ago
      Glimpse of eternity's endless sand 

      A profound experience
      While talking in my sleep
      Many life's lessons to learn 
      That stays in our deep

Destiny

Why me?
    Stranded on hard ice, alone
    Sun's cold light false hope
    Howling wind cuts soul and bone
Destiny 
    Lost frozen feet walk, no bliss
    Silent prayer their guide 
    Miracles born in darkest corridors whisper and kiss
Destiny
     Life at last ! Coming fast !
     Planet of eat or be eaten, knife in hand
     Suddenly strength of 10, Bear meat though arm needs cast
Destiny
     Two hundred miles, a cabin, maybe a Coors ?
     Instead of a Coors, Trapper's murderous eyes wait till I sleep
     I awake, tied to a bed, sound of chainsaw roars
Destiny
     Lunatic approaches, sinister smile
     Prey has fallen into his trap
     Want to be away from here, at least a mile
Destiny
     A stumble, a fall, chainsaw cuts rope, life at times fair !
     I'm free, strength of 10 again !
     I give trapper coffee, while he is tied to his chair
 Destiny
