Leonard Cohen inspired and I don't know why


The color of love

Mister sister                                                                                      
Brother mother                                                                                               
Dad little lad                                      
Girl with a curl                                                                                  
How have you lost                                                                          
The color of love                                                                             

Sign dine                                                                                             
Drink think                                                                                         
Listen what’s miss’n                                                                      
Day with no sun                                                                                               
How have you lost                                                                          
The color of love                                                                             

Pity city                                                                                                               
Train complain                                                                                  
Whistle and whittle                                                                        
Old story told                                                                                    
How have you lost                                                                          
The color of love

Crazy lazy
Deep deep
Tomb will loom
Tears follow fears
Summer’s when you lost
The color of love

Gather matter
Feel  heal
Space to embrace
Seed turns to feed
Season holds the harvest
The color of love

Meaning leaning                                                                             
Piece peace
Go so slow
Feet to street
Home you will find
The color of love

Experiment

…and to write haiku
the meaning found…in spaces
the silence it speaks

                                                                                    poetry…mix…stir
                                                                                    a poem’s message is for all
                                                                                    arms wrapped around it

your view is your truth
believing made so easy
maker of your world

                                                                                    …regardless of now
                                                                                    you hide…a thin veal there is
                                                                                    whispers…mountains moved

you…into motion
a tide rising…tsunami
destruction…massive

                                                                                    in your wake you leave
                                                                                    oh my tears…how will they cleanse
                                                                                    stains…stains…rutted stains             

true life is much more
in the end what will we regret
nothing I will hope                                         




The wrong is so right

hauntingly beautiful
eerily safe
candle is burning
light missing my face

song is singing
empty of love
cold wrinkled hand
without a glove

dance the night away
mistress and bride
empty hall now all seated
lined up on one side

lyrics missing
no words to this song
guitar no strings
so right so wrong

cry a river
dried up tears
morning light
cancels fears

this story so ripe
void of verse
continuous chapter
reader’s curse

beautifully gray
sunshine no light
shades to my soul
white night
