Footprints In The Snow

I lift the grave stones to take a peek / summon the energy from earthly sleeps / that envelope my essence / in endless space / the night cries out playful / then steps out with a knife / demanding gods playful design / that condemns us all as hypocrites / to strong to be tranquil / to weak to leave an honest reply / the first trail left in the snow / has been blown over and filled in / as I listen to the stars shine / on this journey that is more than the destination. Azab

I Am Guest

at this horizon that opens welcoming / generous / as I recall the eyes that shined and opened / wider than all the sky / with all the lands vibrance / the seas power and the rivers soul / in the places open , graced with power / in the knowing accepting heart / you led this guest into the living forests of time / where I found strength in a humble solid stance / I walk slowly past the places where the old bones rest / the weight of the fragrance of the sea / slow my footsteps to respectfully linger / I stood open at your grand fathers spot / open in the flow / accepting the responsibility of what I yet not know / my promise kept / I put the offer in the rivers flow / through my hand your grandfather lit the offer / as has been done for many , many times before / all must come , all must go / as I leave for the journey that never ends / people feel the presence within / and feel gaze that casts the bond / into the heart and beyond . Azab

The Seas Lullaby

when there are no medicines left that cure / bandage my soul with mountain mists / and let the earth become my bed / the sky my roof / the seas my lullaby / my dreams riding on the blowing air. Azab

Sweet Angels

here in the half naked darkness / I do not know if there are any truths in death / but I am sure that there are no lies / and the vacancy that is left / when sweet angels stop dancing in my dreams . Azab

A Woman's Lie

I shovel new soil under each footstep / as I do not wish to haunt your dreams / while into my blood / characters stack new character / pushing forward to through the uncharted voids / I close the wounds and enjoy the ride / as there is new air in each breath / some is stale with life’s maliciousness / some is fresh honeyed anticipation / when I am the sea I watch the sky / when I am the land I watch the sea / when I am air I ride the wind / remaining as honest as a woman’s lie / and tight lipped as a priests vow. Azab

Treading Softly

I tread softly / not wanting to disturb the bullets lodged in your heart / singing songs that hold me close / as a comforting ghost against your skin / life moves from a trot to a gallop towards the end / the living water and vibrant rock / will be my brother and sister / there is no life here only wanderers / unfurl your wrinkled brow / smile at the strangers in my dreams / I will find the one single perfect missle / that strikes the heart / when it understands / the love of the kiss that sits on a grandmothers wrinkled face. Azab

Two Stangers

two strangers stand in the searing dooway / running past standard stares / in priceless naked conversation / a kalaidescope of anticipation unfolds / in the itinerate promises of ananomity / flattery , the tongues golden careess / warms loves waiting embers / two stangers stand past the searing doorway / falling to the waiting floor. Azab

Wieghtless

we all know / places where no one goes / are full and bursting at the seams / ambitions check maps for Pleasantville / essence and desire necessitate stronger tastier pleasures / let the weight fall away / exposing luscious thoughts / will strong kisses satisfy your wounds / white knuckles kneading sheets / I feel your quiver when your world stops / paint my windows black / welcome to your fires / let me tell you all you want to hear / not stopping / your shiny beauty’s silky slide / while pasting smiles on your wet lips.
