BLUEWARP. . . A RETROSPECTIVE OF DRAWINGS AND POETRY

The slide

2012-01-14T14:18:00.000-08:00

freefall into nothingness
everything falls into place
the muddiest of water
if allowed to sit quietly
will slowly become clear
as the particles
fall, fall, and slowly sink
all the way to the bottom
thought and troubles
are the particles of the mind
free fall is emptiness of expression
the amazement
of observing what is seen
without thought of what it is
when darkness becomes
a myriad of colors
moving as tinted clouds
explosions of red, purple
mauve and black
the birth and death
of mental pigmentation
i sit unto myself . . . . .

problems

2011-12-26T07:40:00.000-08:00

you have so many
things going right
for you that you
constantly worry . . .

about which one of them
will go wrong
and that keeps your
mind blown. . .

so instead of
listening to me
you pay a psychiatrist
big bucks for a
differently worded
conclusion . . .

troubled pathways
in my sight
posing jokers
left and right
i wonder if
it all will pass
or be another
juggernaut?
no one knows
the hidden truth
or even
tries to guess
if the wall
is solid stone
or just a mirror
made of glass . . .

beggars standing on the street
they stare into your eyes
but who among us has the skill
to know the ones who lie?
should we ignore a fervent plea
just turn and look away
or give a little of our change
and brighten someones day?
i'd rather give a dollar
to a bum to spend on dope
than not help out an honest man
with nothing left but hope

Love mathmatics

2011-10-23T09:00:00.000-07:00

love mathmatics teaches us
together we can add
we learn to give is good
to take away is bad
we know we can subtract
to multiply is grand
but dividing is a problem
its hard to understand
one and one is two
and you and me make one
but you and me
and someone else
can only total none.

soaring moon
your home is high
far above

dark of night
is where you shine
shining o'er
these thoughts of mine

often when
i'm all alone
i stare above

freezing Arctic air
starts the Wintertime
with frozen lightning
from darkness so cold

and i feel as powerless
as yesterdays dreams
and as helpless as unborn words
that fall with snow
on the tracks of Capricorn

consisting of only garment lint and Naptha.

Existentual runner

2011-10-02T06:20:00.000-07:00

the clock of time
is running down
i've done my feats
to gain renown
some strange horizon
looms ahead
like a book
that lays unread
distance has no
meaning now
just a place
to reach somehow
a race i run
from day to day
when it ends
no one can say.

will reign sublime

colors slide
and seem to swirl
or saturate anew

a striking wonder
rainbow sky
of contrast much askew

autumn colors
rolled in riot
of such a luscious hue

then the night
will reign sublime
and promises are due

Bell-eyed cats

2011-09-22T17:22:00.000-07:00

we turn away from reason
in one way or another
from gumption into glory
sometimes in a smother
words and phrases
tied together
connected by
an unseen tether
and on we prowl
into the dark
wherin is hid
that magic spark . . .

sails are set

nor e'en its coldest windy breath

iv'e lately felt
and wanted so much to lose
but it never seems to change
except for the times
i spend inside the stoned walls
of my own private castle
where the floors are not in a tremor
and the walls are not a ringing pain
and the animals around me
show their teeth
but only in a friendly grin. . . .

Lorna is no longer troubled
by those annoying little

the Lizard Headband
by Ronco for just $10.95,
but wait, you can get
another one free to give
to your hubby

Its all too tough

2011-08-04T15:02:00.000-07:00

it burns my heart
to think of you
it blows my mind
it makes me blue

it tears my soul
to see you out
it rips my thoughts
complete, throughout

it pains me so
to see your face
it brings me down
i'm out of place

it eats me up
the way things are
it drags me down
its gone too far

far to the west
darkly blundering towards me
come the dark clouds
they seem to plow along
pushing blueskies ahead as they come
now close by with whacks of thunder
the afternoon heat collapses
into blowing torrents
of horizontal rainwater
bringing the fishy scent of the Gulf
now streaking lines of blue-white lightning
rattle the sky
and swarms away inland. . .

for after every

fear him not

for a time will come
when on one will open
their hearts to him

fear him not
he who is ignorant with power
for the time will come
when he falls and crumbles

taking chances every day
from dawn 'till dark of e'en
i wonder where the lonely are
out hoping to be seen

lost amid their thoughts and plans
thay seldom tell their tales
there are those who judge them
as they wander secret trails

their hopes and fears are huddled
like umbrellaed heads
under stormy attitudes
ducking fears and dreads

looking for a partner
to help them while away
another loney empty night
and another lonely day

intense of eye
cobalt blue
ringed like sky
you look at me
with mystic gaze
your heart won't tell
the game it plays
brown of foot
of face and ear
there are things
that give you fear
vanilla fur
and small brown nose
midget claws
on midget toes
chocolate ears
chocolate tail
always staulking
some strange trail
light brown stockings
to your knees
the sounds you make
are hungry pleas.

a mental journey

2011-05-24T09:17:00.000-07:00

not a matter of seclusion
in sturdy castle walls
just a case of deep confusion
in pinched neurotic halls

not a lost or false illusion
steeped by freedom's wings
just a tangent of intrusion
slow pursuit of many things

not a distant tight reclusion
abyssed by mental shade
just a chance for full transfusion
to halt the masquerade

princes,knaves, and rednecks too,
they all stand in a line,
in a queue of ignorance
for the coming of their time,

they think they see,
they think they hear,
but only wise men know,
that at a time
when things are right,
a day, a month, a year,
Fate will come and take them all
away some darkening night;

the troubles of the future
lie in a snarling web,
hopes come in upon the flood
and fear leaves with the ebb.

some will look, some will find
some will worry, some will pray
the only rule of any day
is try to stage a good horseplay

The Hanner

2011-04-28T13:24:00.000-07:00

you'll never see a Hanner
carrying a banner
he's a simple unobtrusive beast

he will come out with the moon
on a sultry night in June
looking for a simple goony feast

the Hanner will not hurt you
will not frighten or molest you
but he'll steal your very favorite book

I wish I had a nickel
for every sour pickle
I hid that Hanner came and took

he is known to steal your hubcaps
your radios and roadmaps
your tires are the purest of delight

so if you think its stole
better look in Hanner's hole
'cause Hanner Moon is shining bright tonight

what you see down on the rug
that thing you think is just a bug
is actually a glockenglug
a harmless little goony lug

glockenglugs, they live in rugs
of shag, or pile, or hoop
they're very tidy, very neat
and go outside to poop

there is a downside, never fear
glockenglugs, et al, drink beer
they'll raid your 'fridge late at night
and drink until they all get tight

and then, en masse, they'll run amok
making sounds just like a duck
to wake you up at half past two
crazy drunk and full of brew

midnight purple hearts are panging
across the moon
across the height

midnight purple heartstrings twanging
they seem so shy
they seem so slight

when my fire's gone up in smoke

so ah axed some folks about it
and this is how it went
ah looked up my old doctah
he axed whats your complaint?
ah said it isn't what Ah am
ah thinks its what i ain't
ah sat down on his table
and he tapped my boney knees
he said the problems in your head
gimme forty dollahs please
so ah checked in at the clinic
for some psychiatric care
ah told them what my name was
and ah offered up a prayer
they sent me to a doctah
who had a shaggy beard
he said his name was Doctah Fraud
now ain't that kinda weird?
he axed if ah was paranoid
or maybe schizophrenic
ah said sometimes ah got morose
even when its scenic
he looked at me with baleful eyes
and then ah heard him say
the illness that you're sufferin' from
is known as mind decay
it comes from wantin' somethin'
thats never close at hand
like minutes in an hourglass
thats emptied of its sand
or years that passed in silence
like a frozen Wonderland

i didn't sleep too well last night
my mood was all a flutter
too many thoughts were on my mind
too many words to utter
a wise man told me long ago
these words of so much wisdom
remember this, my son, he said
worrys are too cumbersome

"never dwell on things gone by
for all who live must some day die
live for today and not the 'morrow
for time is all we can not borrow"

but still i think of lines i've wrote
and pictures i have made
those things enlarge my happy soul
as mem'rys on parade
when i view them i recall
the loves i've had and lost
beauties all they still remain
priceless times at any cost

braced for trenchen
regullerized in stamman

pressed by withers,

my baby's been gone
for over a week
no word or wave goodbye

no one's seen her
she just took off
like cloud in a windy sky

she ran off thinkin'
nobody cared that
she's so misunderstood

i guess i never knew
the trouble i had
'cause it ended up no good

it couldn't be fixed
'twas a total loss
broken beyond repair

ruined forever
without any hope
life ain't always fair

looking for my Genisis

from a word to a touch
from an hour to a star
i've scratched the skin around you
and never left a scar

from a second to an eon
from a moment until now
i've search for the meaning
of what a blue wind might endow

just past the glimmer
at that little place i know
where no one ever gives a damn
if the moon has lost its shine

down at the edge
where all my hopes are stored
bunddled up in sacks of thoughts
and tied with dreamers twine

i only make my way down there
on dreamy blue moon nights
when everything seems surreal
off the wall but still sublimely fine

blue moon too

2011-02-01T19:38:00.000-08:00

darkenin' too early
or maybe its too late

it all came loose too quickly
shoulda shut the gate

mighta seen it comin'
but i didn't even try

the mornin' was no better
how come i thought it would

turned out like those other times
shoulda knew it would

mighta worked it harder
i sure wish i knew why

one thursday afternoon

2011-01-31T14:51:00.000-08:00

take away those ugly things
and hateful mem'ries too
bundle up those awful thoughts
and all those things untrue

settle down with future dreams
and stonebound fantasy
sing you not those plaintive songs
it's best that you be free

turn around it's time to go
hurry time won't wait
leave those problems all behind
i'm waiting at the gate

i've got our tickets to the moon
it's really not too far
just a dream away from her
we'll take the cosmos car

Heavy Time

2011-01-28T17:29:00.000-08:00

tried to ride the cyclone
when there was no other way
likened to a norther
on a humid Texas day

jumped aboard a hurricane
it was all that i could see
bought a ticket to the moon
and heard no final plea

what was found beyond the pale
was hard to e'en believe
took a shaman all his skills
his message to percieve

up and over down and under
abaft the broadened beam
stands the monolith of id
so tight without a seam

wide winds sail across the sky
in some eternal dance
and all the rolling others
will take their final chance.

Pink Throated Hoodendadder

2011-01-27T19:48:00.000-08:00

Hoodendadders may be found on the
Northeast Coast of of Gooneralia ,
nocturnal goons who are too fast for
ordinary capture. They have been
clocked at 83 mph when frightened
or during mating season. They are
decapods and that is why they are so
incredibly speedy.

how long was i there
at the top of the stair
how long was i there
please tell me, mon frer

how long was i there
at the top of the roof
how long was i here
alone and aloof

how long was i there
at the peak of the hill
how long was i there
feeling the thrill

how long was i there
in the top of the tree
how long was i there
expansively free

how long was i there
at the top of the world
how long was i there
completely unfurled

how long was i there
in the fluff of a cloud
how long was i there
beyond the dull crowd

how long was i there
up in the sky
how long was i there
learning to fly

2011-01-08T08:18:00.000-08:00

a trip to the coast
a trip to the sea
a trip to the end of the world
a place out of context
a place beyond thought
a place where time has been swirled

a ship of the mind
a ship of the soul
sailing into the unknown
a peace that is real
a peace i can feel
a peace where hassles will heal

whence came a mockingbird
who never squawked a taunt
or a lazy man so happy
he didn't even want
or an aging intellectual
whom freedom didn't haunt?

whence came an alleycat
that never grinned a threat
or an imitation human
who never paid a debt
or a cosmic ballerina with a
spacial pirouette?

whence came a philosoph
who never mouthed a lie
or an independant hermit
they tried to crucify
or a restless caged myopic
who tries but can not fly?

Unidentified shining

2010-12-22T08:56:00.000-08:00

strange lonely lights shiny and lonesome
weird glowing orbs in the sky
alien beings hovering nightly
they never come near us
and the people ask why?

odd luminescence off in the distance
remote tiny spots in the sky
alien trippers waiting for something
they never come near us
and the people ask why?

winking and blinking lights unfamiliar
they hover and hang in the sky
strange foreign creatures waiting their moment
they never come near us
and the people ask why?

what's a bird
supposed to do
when he is down
below the blue
as if were clipped
his wings lift not
he crawls along
as if he was shot
he slogs along
but can not fly
he tries to laugh
but wants to cry
he slowly walks
and sometimes falls
he stays behind
his mortal walls
limping sadly
through the times
he pays the price
for guesswork crimes

After sailing on the Lake of the Pines

2010-12-12T08:33:00.000-08:00

clouds were stacked
in mottled heaps
upon the western shore

we sliced the waves
while heeling low
our troubles were no more

pink and purple
clouds were ours
and so was time that day

warm sun and laughs
came falling down
and naught was in our way

the blue green hills
were miles away
and we slipped the mortal coil

we laughed and loved
the day away
forgetting earthly toil

blue-on-blue
as skies above
bore clouds so soft and free

time was fine
and it was ours
for only you and me . . . .

stranger, do not follow me
i did not ask you for your name
i did not ask you why you came
stranger, all dressed in blue
leave me be i don't know you

stranger, do not follow me
i did not ask you here inside
i did not ask you to abide
stay back inside that darkened hall
flattened up against that wall

stranger,do not follow me
i did not ask you for advice
i did not ask you for your price
do not follow any nearer
i can see you in that mirror

stranger,do not follow me
i did not ask you for your heart
i only ask you, please depart
do not touch me with your eyes
i'm not fooled by your disguise
