• vex – self portrait

    Byjucasso

    vex tears pour race escape
    the deplorable chore of my face
    bog fog sock-lock on shore
    heart shatter core
    for where are there rays of light
    praise the dawn shrug night
    entangle integral terrible throng
    thugs will mug me when i’m wrong
    indelible inkling write passage
    scripted miscarriage
    encrypted ravage
    patch a batch of cabbage
    you starry eyed savage
    shockingly disparage
    peace & love of the Sabbath
    bathe in foibles end morals
    force compromise no promises
    melancholy kind immature
    signature unsigned amateur.

  • sea kelp crawl

    Byjucasso

    faint color stone
    driftwood barnacle old fish bone
    rural exposure elegant rose
    months after June bloom
    blue-moon deepest hue
    streak sunset scrim
    empty, age rage fit
    soft words echo whisper
    seminary vespers
    wind unmask leaves
    whistle scurry through eaves
    sun break through great cracked trees

    twist lime gin & tonic
    fly to find a sky of rain exotic
    your cobalt eyes illumine the bezeled mirror
    look at me I miss you so in winter

    craggy white paint
    along the creviced coastline
    wolf hound howl at the moon shadow
    shade gray dune
    in the foamy lonely afternoon

    brave ovation bare breeze
    whip the wicker wind-chime
    summer soak thunder cold
    tide brawl over sea kelp crawl
    rip up roots
    nature spill danger
    into tiny bubbles
    clam suck shallow puddle
    stream damp sand

    seagull dance wave
    surge beauty brave
    balmy bay
    daylight dim
    lantern lit
    golden tint.

  • sun in his sky

    Byjucasso

    and in the wood
    play among the wolves
    upon the glen to glide barefoot
    along the glade
    rain pour down in the shade where tree limb shook
    lie flat against the amethyst rocks fragrant jasmine
    flow down stream into brooks
    a scenic solitude rekindle quietude
    muffled splashes carry the stone honed coast of evermore
    close hawks boast to toast
    their caws from the sycamore
    giant oaks
    litter the coarse ground
    with acorn
    the wind whips tremendous chill ferocious through the trees
    in a moment from autumn
    to winters drop in barometric pressure
    mourn summer days long since gone that filled the body with pleasure
    give me sun in his sky
    sea surf sand
    in pink and blue and tan
    where does the sun go when it rains?
    is he Incognito at Starbucks playing video games?
    or is he listening to an old recording by Johnny Mathis “when sunny
    gets blue”?

  • wind blow

    Byjucasso

    wind blow ice cold out to sea
    grasses gold wavering wheat
    extemporaneously
    fishes fowl run the hour
    in their harmony
    trust just love must let the Angels be

    in time thou thine a part of me
    inside cries for the heart of thee
    time will tell you what befell you
    when first I saw your pretty face

    God gift amazing grace
    He can take it all away
    may you stay don’t turn away forlorn
    without delay return the day reborn

    to meet the most Holy Ghost in early morn
    toast the host with all your Heaven brethren
    that spill the tears to heal a hurried welcome
    tend a field of wild flower
    marigold beguile

    hammer gold moulding old and tired
    paintings for a public view invite you
    images from dark to light pose a prayer in evening night
    of pools to dive into

    the water cool as wind wend westerly
    alone again to get the best of me
    a self made prophecy manifest destiny
    where are you my mistress of ceremony?
    candid in your ministry medicinal
    seeing God on Sundays
    a little bit closer
    may I count on you?

    my decisions easier
    having bouts reason blur
    out with a curse
    that empties the purse
    that questions my very bliss

    time measures everything
    quick to overwhelm
    the realm of age
    turn a page
    rustle of parchment scent of cologne
    the comfort of being alone

    love that is giving
    inspire to yearn
    evergreen pining
    your humble sage with Taurus rising.

  • storm

    Byjucasso

    storm
    brews mood
    ruining winds feud
    Mother Earth barely out of grief
    without a page to leaf
    more than most minimal
    doubts herself cynical
    moments bless the miracle
    from the ethereal pinnacle
    something queer
    about snowstorms austere
    white packed snow
    pushes it’s weight around
    trees fall down
    on buried ground
    finding fuel futile
    brute blizzard barrels brazen
    pale moon mute
    sky of white wears overcoat of night
    to keep the frost bite trite
    winds batter the bay
    the world still for a day
    sun cannot find
    a warmth he has lost
    though wins his will to shine
    the moon feeling fine
    tells the sun do not die
    you’ll always be a friend of mine
    snow angels appear
    in oceans icy foam
    they bless every being
    in the evening and they say
    honor your loved ones
    they are the shore
    that you’ve been looking for
    all your life
    forever more.

  • wind

    Byjucasso

    whisper rushing water
    birds glide air currents
    the bluff barks rough
    long grasses golden hay flattened
    marsh in the harsh of winter
    a heart in the middle of the day
    wispy thickets lisping
    blown biting bully muddy earth
    sandy soil loosens stones running
    shocks the rocks bolder
    under sensitive sky
    massive clouds hung low
    in the dirt felt the debt to hold
    winds fickle forces come and go
    with the strength of a mind spring
    rain crushing the pines
    bent torn
    sending storms
    foliage overgrown thrash thrown
    winds groan
    nature’s warning growl
    a departure
    sun fires bright
    till then darkest night
    when the moon ascends to prowl.

  • windswept

    Byjucasso

    windswept night
    tempest tossed at all cost
    lost in the frosty sink
    into snow the ice cold
    brutal storm tears
    winds creak cracking
    warmth falls lacking
    gales scale garden walls
    birches bent appalled
    as Peter salts the walks
    birds too scarce to sacrifice
    will fly to paradise to live
    on moles and mice someplace
    warm and nice
    we are left in winter
    sleep like a swimmer in the middle
    of a river-reach the river bed
    climb to the top of the bend
    and mend your medieval plays
    satisfied to script your write for
    better days
    raw wind roars the anger applauds
    a gentler sweeter cause
    winds whip then pause in
    conquest for her lovers claws
    that rip against the chest
    of all that you digress
    the jaguar kills for meat
    to keep her on her feet
    do not claim her as elite
    do not blame her teeth
    the game is sweet.

  • the realm of the real

    Byjucasso

    the realm of real
    rite the night
    fill the throng with song
    fly by light the spirit soar
    rainbow bright white lit dawn

    I ask of you to stay with me
    a little while pray with me
    lantern by the sea
    walk together candidly

    vivid thought
    sacred heart
    friend in rain most bitter dark
    antique post modern avant-gard

    off to your diamond studded stars
    bedecked bejeweled redeemed renewed
    while I paint faintly moody moons
    avenues in text express

    Prometheus unbound-find him dancing around the grounds
    in these infinite coastal towns
    the bay is sound
    fog horn rip torn sleep
    replete the hours peace
    in quiet
    sweet silent
    drift down the river like Ophelia
    hope harbor keeling not rob her of her feeling
    peek into day dawn shy wink sky pink sparkle sunrise
    link the universe mere verse cannot endeavor to recapture
    such brilliant rapture
    the slow glow in tone of a flower blossom open in a moment

    arise full stature yellow golden flame
    behold the Sun magnificence the center to the Mane

    all creation spin in resolution
    syncopated time unfold in unison.

  • the loved one

    Byjucasso

    the loved one
    familiar beautiful
    walk with you
    in joy and pride

    for all the words
    we hide
    the best as yet to bring
    looking back we’ve just begun
    once more again begin

    the night fit like an old pair of shoes
    the jacket with the patches
    find elbow room

    happy times elate
    sentimental sweet caress
    share the gentle care
    much thoughtful tenderness

    hurried were the days
    daunted worry
    emptiness

    remembered bliss
    that little pout
    that gregarious character that laugh out loud

    thunderous wonder rewards
    a portrait to recapture

    human nature
    build on higher ground
    cloister
    pearl in oyster
    intact a tactful act
    the actual fact
    fiction a mission
    delirious depiction
    utopian artifact

    you are a vision
    for four poor eyes
    between reason and disguise
    sing songs of the season
    subdue your tears with lullabies

    birds flight in the light of the midday sky
    the sun is as round as a Gods Eye
    He watches over us with warmth
    to lighten our days

    the moon
    croon
    “stardust”
    with an encore
    of “moon river”
    the oceans weep
    pray to heal all wounds not hinder
    from depths as deep in winter.

  • the love

    Byjucasso

    the love is in the character
    sparkling water
    sheepish sheer pleasure
    live forever
    in the heart and mind
    every gesture
    sung slow sweet
    the hillside hours brave
    lonesome gorgeous maven
    find you in your haven
    held to form
    a child is born
    the burly brilliant storm
    two thousand years yield morn
    in fields of yellow corn
    as after all the blossom bring the thorn
    recede the flaky leaf from frigid frost
    the bible speak to all of them
    redeem the mighty worst
    exceed the current curse
    that list from side to side
    walk once more on water
    through the countryside
    God bless to be alive
    may dignity survive
    lit candles to the cold black sky
    I miss you more than I can say
    rain a painters gray
    loved you since the day we met
    walking by the bay and yet
    with words you speak
    we seek the moon and stars
    in a better light
    goodnight angel
    God bless you sweet friend
    day is at an end
    tomorrow my regard for you
    a masterpiece of whites & blues
    an anthem in the morning dew
    the past is past the future cast
    the doubt of night be but a dream
    without a loss I have not seen
    the war is won forever
    in a place where the heart lives
    the golden wake of sleep
    the rise and fall of the season
    ever changing
    find you
    pristine water
    to sooth these dry eyes.
