Utopia

Last night I dreamed

of Utopia

Until Morning dragged

me from the gentle

arms of Sleep

who was holding me

to her breast

and whispering of

ethereal images

not known to the

rude light of morning

Being pulled

unceremoniously into

the day I tried to grasp

the fading possibilities

that are romanced by slumber

To be lost once more

lost in glorious transcendence

of the monotonous days

that march one after the other

before my waking eyes

Resignation, rising

the floor is cold upon my feet

the day colder upon my heart

Utopia is not to be, today.

Untitled

While the world is fast asleep

I am building

castles of wonder from thoughts

inviting them all to wake and feast

at the table in the great halls

I've fashioned from nothing

but consciousness

and sip sweet wine with me

exploring the meaning of this

intangible celebration of

imagination which springs

from my solitude

still what I build in waking

draws them nearer to me...

though sleeping

they, too, are dreaming

Silence

Ceaseless advance of

Arch nemesis,

Darkness, rising

In my soul weary battle worn

I cry out to you

And I am felled in the wake of your silence.

Ken Needs a Barbie

A rhythm begins to vibrate

in the air

stirring my body to rise

moving up through my

feet until my fingertips

brush the sky

it winds itself around

me and wills limbs,

no longer mine,

to belong to the beat

become the song

you...

move out of sync

can’t you feel the

beat resonate?

I sweat from

blessed exertion

and celebration

you...

check your hair

in the bar mirror

you...

you need a plastic woman

Ken, you lost Barbie!

Barbie dances like you.

She can't hear the music, either.

Can't anyone hear the music?

Dance with me!

(c) LEAM 1996

Free

I close my eyes and sway

and I am the wind in the trees

that whispers into the night

Be still, you will hear me.

I raise my arms and I am

the heavens above embracing you

Feel me.

I weep honest tears and I am

the gentle rain on your tongue

Taste me.

Free my soul and I am

the light in a child's eyes

Watch, you will see me.

Should life's pain imprison me

My heart, my soul

will endure

For I close my eyes

and I am the wind

the sky

the rain

I am the light in a

child's eyes

And I am Free.

Soulless

The solitude of this

tranquil evening

should comfort me

Yet the taste of acrid

words lingers on my tongue

I part my burning lips

and breathe deeply of the

pure evening air

to remind me

that I live

still, it fails

to dispel

the dying inside

Anything, anything

to ease this emptiness

to know that my heart

still beats

Come to me...

It is truly

a soulless evening
