Desert winds whirl on

Sullen skies
watch my every move
Deceit lies
in their sighs
There is nothing I will prove
I ignore their cries

Yesterday
I stored my future
under sands
Foreign lands
remembering osmosis
seep soul through crisis

The Negev
moved on silently
its body
wild man’s tool
its breath all still promises
unwinding through hiss

My seeds grown
diligently sown
through mind cast
made to last
A thousand years break under
the forced surrender

Cast me ten
Elements are five
Replicate
twice mission
The tribes that stand will survive
wayward attention

In truth lay
throne to sit upon
Mirrors don
gold inlay
They kill themselves as they slay
Desert winds whirl on

Raven Time

raven time christian schloe

 

Riddles flow

From the fevered brow

Listen now

I will show

The snow peaks in deserts glow

Mountainous the sands

 

Invoked lands

Awoken the cold

Centuries

Now unfold

Hidden glaciers uprising

People surprising

 

She awoke

To new millenium

The clock struck

Raven Time

Their two tongues watered my rhyme

Spilt in canticles

Wonderland

Place of Miracles

Where we pray

Where we stray

Spending light through sun’s array

Countenance at bay

 

Seething sand

Makes me obstacles

Which I grind

In my mind

Through memories I unwind

Past hidden unkind

 

Singing band

Grant me spectacles

Unknown fame

Face no name

Shimmering through light path tame

Summoning her frame

Weather’s brow

Hard ends in the now

Disavow

Holy vow

Earthen fields that we will plough

Inversion allow

 

Scorching sands

Coursing through the lands

Twirling hands

Raging bands

Times when we had made demands

Fading in woodlands

 

Times version

Breath exhalation

Distortion

Distension

Forging through heart intention

The rain poured on land of empty

Where snakes hissed on the desert sands

The feet that trod the barren lands

Danced slow to the newfound plenty

 

The sands curdled like frumenty

A tidal wave that crowds disbands

Covered all but for groping hands

Reaching out for Twenty Twenty

 

I glimpse it all with withered sigh

Twin peaks that skies then pierced anew

What breaches Truth in Truth must die

 

From waters grave we rise and fly

We turn our backs the choosing few

Living in Truth where shadows lie

Life in the Open

Life in the Open

The grief mind sharpens

Eyesight of the heart’s delight

Relinquishing might

 

Control of outcome

Buried in the seeping sands

Pits of yesterday

 

Daily sandstorms blow

Dismembering all traces

Of fires in deserts

 

Simplicity’s ways

Narrow streets transformed highways

Ride into gardens

 

Nighttime crawls to light

With breath of the morrows hope

All under the Sun

 

The darkness broken

By bright accumulated

Life in the Open

The sand gathered

Rain attempted paths

Would desert gain terrain?

 

Puddles formed slow

The roads were heavy

Why did my Heart feel light?

 

The flowers bloomed

My Heart sang larky

Did spring arrive early?

Cry

Rivers

Flowing Heart

Juice me Tender

Quiet reckonings

Happiness etched in sand

Blowing winds will spare nothing

All memories scattered in the storms

Between shelters of fortune and drought

Life’s tempests rise often, subside sometimes

Open Heart is shield of those speaking rhymes

Winging Hearts to those who’ve been about

Of strangest tides of life their norms

From void’s cliffs to everything

Of higher much demand

The blue soul’s longings

Sweet surrender

Soul in Art

Quivers

Fly!

My toes in the sand

Chipped irregular paintings

Edges’ adornments

 

Colourless waters

Whisking away solid grounds

I stand through nowhere

 

The sea comes to die

On sinking sand that withstands

My frame as I lie

Down crashes the moon

Picture perfect of night fall

Under rising sun

The waves roared thunderous

Upon wild decaying shores

Swept dark moonlight’s blue

 

Winter’s rain beckoned

Fleeting recognition’s wink

Seasons bear their tides

 

I rose up to ends

Stammered stories, chattered pains

Of mice and dices
