    Byjucasso

    summers heading into falls berries brought to bear in thistles,
    inclusive care the ones gratified and grappled with excelsior, the
    burning bush push/pulls away the secrets of a lifetime overlapping
    streaming waters, gleaning portals insightful to see others formidable
    forcing the lock open so much water so much depth
    to win ones sorrow on the overlook to shut the decent moon at nights
    most elegant ledge a friend to all that pledge their little lives
    to each the waters edge and seek asylum in the cycle
    sent-hurt not the ministry you might randomly
    rent for you maybe an experiment of those immortal men-don’t let me
    down if you cannot exclude the pain then try to reason with it and
    apply yourself again-my friend-good hours upon the blend of good work
    great music in harmony will serve not abuse it-to let us go is no
    choice but badly bruised battered faculty-we shall hope for a better
    reality and praise and question with ones own capacity
    caught in the augmented chords of bliss and harmony
    a gentle morality in the mindful
    frailty of flowers bloom a passive
    worry May is in a hurry to give us June in all her energy to rise fair
    youth to tell the truth of a God in crying for help felt every
    heartbeat for forgiveness for His thrown the way of kings the bay if
    pigs the love of home the love of Christ some castaways in lieu of you
    to feed with spoon cling silver colored gold handcuffs to hold you
    back from love some distance great that keeps us still to appreciate
    the highest in a rather precarious position in the greatness of the
    witness is the goal, sick and tired to be left out in the cold the
    people are expendable the means does not support the end we can
    pretend all is well and right in the world but ah me we seem to suffer
    the arms and bullets of misfortune to take a seldom peace a harm out
    of harmony, alarmed at lack of ease until forgiveness and the
    gratitude of men begin the end of bitterness to blend a woman’s tears
    to the abundance great need and great loss I bid you be well in the
    aftermath of to hope for the end to such holocaust and thank parental
    feeling to last a lifetime long to ask The Lord for equal gifts for
    everyone pie in the sky? then I ask for peace and no more deaths to
    die-and forgive this scribe who looks to the Gods to reduce our pain
    so help us God…

    Amen.

  • immediately

    Byjucasso

    it is a matter of your time that mends to memory the sinews of your
    mind softly spoken messages that meld in the pell-mell
    protective heart a woman undressed in the dark before a man and
    kindness is at hand and
    is no crime for the botanist to depart
    for deepest heart beneath the floral hanging of your leaving in the
    evening some hidden response the worst is won the demon gone in the
    moon lit month of June she is no fun but tough the ordinary to
    sublimity makes her, baby blue a need for a trip to the carribean
    immediately some
    surreal sea sunset a summer sweet
    celibate sacrifice sends your memory to the Gods to label the day
    beautiful a calligraphers tile her smile
    in my file handing over the keys
    to unbolt your afterglow that spares the broken speak of speech-rejoice
    regards your our hearts in liberty.

  • resist the gist

    Byjucasso

    slip into a ripple of sea too bright to sink unseen
    with everything we haven’t been you’re everything to me
    in some ways greener than the trees in summer sage
    in summer wind to trace the ace of queens
    a child again pretend do we create
    her majestic countryside these United States
    still what will of daffodil fulfilled with no mistakes
    catch a cold on beaches squall call for water breaks
    as the foam blends the bones for fishes washed ashore
    flowering grasses growing tall hiding in the rough
    a child playful as a pup
    her organdy garment soaked above the knee
    tiny hearts sewn on her bonnet
    where there are skies in eyes so blue to untie the moon and let the
    sun be done for a day or two in the backdrop of a set the picturesque
    recessed upset of
    a light too bright for night-
    expect the blessings of the early morning dawn
    your heart is strong the angels caught in the mid heaven
    sing to return the song they stole drunk on the beauty
    of Venus and weary they lay down their arms for peace
    for every living being in the universe, listening to their
    every heartbeat as they are written
    smitten with the love of the elements
    gathering stones to honor the present
    bring the essential tide to cool
    foolish cruelty in the name
    of responsibility-as I am but a
    hypocrite to resist the gist
    of capability.

  • willingness

    Byjucasso

    stability a mobility
    ability a mentality
    a noble cause
    chivalry not dead
    a plastic mask a rented bed
    thank God my body is still mine
    a slice of bread to mend
    mankind
    to feed a vacuous state of mind
    you lead me here instead
    with everything that you have said
    willingness to win the wars
    wellness will right the stars.

  • the sentiment

    Byjucasso

    lost in the sentiment
    fertile mind a rocky climb
    through silt and sediment
    say what is meant to mend
    for the time is evident
    unwind the knotted weave
    that causes you to grieve
    to fall on bended knee
    straining to be free
    from hurt and pain
    alone again it seems
    if I a witness to your soul
    maybe the only one
    then keep me in your heart
    and wear me like a shell.

  • unrest

    Byjucasso

    unrest relentless tide attempt to tempt a tempestuous temper-tide the
    ocean black thick froth a darkest dankest pitch
    water wields worried wakes wearing weary wreckage
    rusty musty pillion worst the thirst call upon the stars to lead you
    home from deepest depths remorse resents rain upon the oblique
    breakwater
    from mooring in the sea, steer ships by starlight moon eye bask in
    swells that lift fell some languid
    star struck sound winded-bid the eve a heart of night ephemeral where
    visions play a gentle
    moment memorable, to lose the bliss the loss of this
    incredible, dashed upon rash rocks
    regrettable fog a thick opaque shuts the eye
    the sight of plausible-escape the rage a port of call
    sail away on a mirrored sea, reflections on
    silver water, smooth as glass may be.

  • the more I love

    Byjucasso

    cast a line unbroken bond an anchor fonder foibles gone, in the blush
    of summer warm a trip enthused
    to dip my muse in leaves of gold to leave a portrait mold the mask
    clay crazed with ink on porcelain, pinches pots tall and slim what
    have me nots walls thin obscure red cadmium, a chance to paint my
    heroine
    upon the gates to fence me in-in bravery to battle sin
    one settles for a common theme as more distraught a flaw have been,
    but for a whim to win or lose with everything-amused the losses
    prove-moving me to choose the blues/
    pink hues in skies of gray-and were it yet the way
    I feel for you today, the more I love, the words
    have more to say, in gratitude and prayer I try
    again to care
    coming about in the wind without
    coming apart as it seems, to win my dreams.

  • centering potential

    Byjucasso

    love is the quintessential elemental
    guiding star, that glistens in arabesque fluted crystal
    shine to bless limitless time shared in a heartbeat
    with sound so sweet as nearer the month of May
    merry a nights day very well tells the way secret squall the seagull rises
    falls across every mile of the bay-stay heart bright
    sight the moon white in pale blue sky
    and I-wonder what to say to show this love of mine
    is not Blaise-I promise solace in the art of honesty
    in sobriety there is a quality in centering potential
    the personal exceptional acceptance of kindness.

  • in the main

    Byjucasso

    cool moon loom cloud strewn
    bathe in the wave a stormy brew
    pick up the pieces of artifact
    dormant adornment renewed
    love forever resolves
    the heart of hearts is rock
    to waste not one minute longer
    fell the faint repose
    a scent of essential rose
    causes me to live again
    compose the pearls of prose
    to know you in the world
    meeting you on the apron of the proscenium
    applauding the prologue well writ
    hung lanterns like half moons the theatre is well lit
    I chug my mug drinking half the carafe
    no one laughs
    good humor seems a fault-old habits heed to halt
    the even measure of a tender talk
    insulted by the casualty of salt upon the broiled beef
    the look in eyes foretelling of their disbelief
    regardless of the hour a restless breath
    would you not care the heart would break
    a jealous death would take my soul
    in darkness rivers I to drown
    without the loveliness of you to find
    one crystal clear morning
    with love and drawing
    memories in mind
    encased in lace and gold finery
    in ancient places old fiery
    remembrance enfold a dynasty
    in weather cold and blustery
    spring chill the air is bold musty
    a pause to paint the plausible rain
    to let go of the worry
    as time heals all fury in the main.

  • a mind in kind

    Byjucasso

    and the angel said
    we work together here in heaven
    receive a reprieve redeem in reverence envelope the meridian,
    rhythm resound regard
    cyclical symmetrical symbols
    send seekers to your cavernous unabridged gap to live and let live, as
    wind falls short of breath caught like a hawk swift upon prey-day will
    dawn come peach and plum that boast the horn of plenty
    salt of the earth ocean waves
    save untimely minutes many
    lucky go merry as lite as a faerie,
    reduce the juice plump and heavy,
    hold love in the palm of your hand,
    greet loved ones like waves upon
    the sand, ever humbled by the beauty of ocean breezes, summer days to
    feel this way a heart so warm beckons
    the sun to shine for thou and thine in a most sunburnt season-
    to fathom faraway come what may
    a mind in kind may reason.
