    “Along the Coast” by: Eyvind Earle

    Shattered

    Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

     

     
    Shattered

    I come upon a man
    standing by the road
    looking sad
    heavy box
    in his arms
    held close
    he stares
    expressionless
    into my eyes
    his gaze stops me
    fixes me in place
    his face is tired
    and drawn
    etched in worry
    when at last I move
    I draw near
    close enough to see
    this sullen man
    is me
    he extends his arms
    that clutch the heavy box
    he beckons me retrieve
    this container he protects
    filled with apprehension
    I […]

    Dark Self

    Saturday, June 14th, 2008

     

     
    Dark Self

    hidden from the light of day
    another me resides
    though keeping to the shadows
    a saving grace abides
    a darkling essence
    scarred and damaged
    begotten in another life
    another place and time
    it is an anger manifest
    righteous and so long suppressed
    that could not find effective voice
    to save my ruined innocence
    silent when I had no name
    for what I did not comprehend
    the woeful time […]

    Morning Gold

    Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

     

     
    Morning Gold

    across the meadow
    last night’s dew clings
    fondly to the old-growth
    wrapped in crystalline embrace
    it adorns the stately cedars
    as if diamonds
    that sparkle in the morning sun
    a splendor befitting their beauty
    this day begins bright and crisp
    bird songs lilt
    carried on a breeze
    I see you afar
    approaching on the path
    backlit by sunrise
    your hair golden in dawn’s glow
    lover beholding beloved
    I sit
    warmed in […]

    Bad Weather

    Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008

     

     
    Bad Weather

    you blew in like a typhoon
    a hurricane of love
    your kisses hot as lightning
    striking from above
    your passion was a tempest
    I was swept up in its force
    but now the winds have died
    this storm has run its course
    my thoughts are grey and cloudy
    my eyes are steady rain
    my heart’s caught in a cold front
    bad weather’s bringing pain
    yes, the […]

    Remembered

    Thursday, May 29th, 2008

     

     
    Remembered

    leaning comfortably
    into the curves
    wind whipping
    through our long hair
    we wind our way
    into the mountains
    into the evening
    alive
    with 2-wheeled freedom
    on the open road
    not counting days
    not keeping track
    just being - free
    we glide
    feet up
    knees tucked
    captivated
    by the thrill
    of the throttle
    we rocket
    dive from light to shadow
    to resurface once more
    in the light
    again and again
    as the sun reveals itself
    from time to time
    warming us
    from between […]

    The Fool

    Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

    “Sad Harlequin” by: Lladró

    The Fool

    I will not smile today, you see
    my broken heart is hurting. So
    tears reside where joy once lived –
    I will not smile today. You see,
    she loved my wealth, but not so me;
    I was a fool, I know.
    I will not smile today, you see,
    my broken heart is hurting so!

    The Legend

    Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

     
    he never quit on his dream, or his humanity

     
    The Legend

    permit me to share the legend
    of the man who rocked the world
    luminous — larger than life
    his banner of fame unfurled
    with confidence he took each stage
    flashed his skills with pride and power
    his celebrity rocketed skyward
    enormous talent, in his finest hour
    a humble tempering childhood
    helped him hone his mythic […]

    Seasons

    Thursday, April 24th, 2008

    Author’s note: This is a suite of four haiku that reflect the seasons of the year.

    Seasons

    Spring
    (haiku)

    wings flutter gently
    spring breeze bends full flowered stems
    meadow dance begins
    • • •
    Summer
    (haiku)

    green leaf on blue pond
    turns in golden summer sun
    red bird softly sings
    • • •
    Fall
    (haiku)

    stalks lie down in fields
    arbors burst with ripened grape
    fall is on the land
    • • •
    Winter
    (haiku)

    coarse lands […]

    Swept Away

    Thursday, April 17th, 2008

    A bluesman’s life and soul. Music gives me goose-bumps, especially when created by genuine human spirit
    NOTE: I invite you to listen to the recorded “spoken word” version of this poem you’ll find at the bottom of this post. I’ve mixed in a little ‘atmosphere’ to heighten the immersion.

    Nocturne

    Saturday, April 12th, 2008

    A brooding full moon, in image, verse, and spoken word
    Author’s note: this piece does not expose a secret, but instead, it deals with the weight and burden of keeping dark disturbing secrets buried away.

     
    Nocturne

    hawk moon hangs heavy
    in the damp night sky
    bulbous moist pearl
    rolling
    in a cold chromium fog
    wet slivers of cloud
    smear themselves
    across its face
    irregular
    like translucent sacks
    of […]

    Temper, Temper

    Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

    You’re still locked in the frikkin’ commode
    When we really should be hitting the road
    How much time can you take up
    While putting on makeup
    My damned head is about to explode

    Foul words spewing forth
    Most certainly he is pissed
    Best to avoid him

    I am a member of the Shameless Lions Writing Circle.

    Artheo

    lion of myth and legend
    dream bringer
    cloud rider
    traveler in time
    protector of visions
    muse to the uninspired
    known as Artheo
    to those you’ve touched
    nameless to the rest
    come now
    restore the world’s wonder
    open minds
    unlock hearts
    so all will know you
    and be enlightened
