    I Walk Alone

    I Walk Alone   dusty, well-worn moccasins travel through mesa shadows, windblown arroyos, along dry river beds of delusions alone with myself.   steam from hot rocks surround naked skin attempting to cleanse the death that follows me; cleanse my wolf spirit so that I may run, alive, breathe in high mountain air, drink...

    • Favorite line: You cannot cleanse the loneliness, and the sun shines in rainbows, and clouds speak to grandmother moon. This is a wonderful piece of poetry

    A Story... Once

    A Story….. Once   “Once upon a time”:…      or so the stories go; hell, even the Raven’s Poe used these words:      “once upon a midnight dreary.” But who is this knocking at my door? She was the      once in my life and I welcomed her in once upon...

    • We played this game in messages to each other very recently, did we not? Oh, on a much smaller scale, of course, and with much less beautiful words than those you have used here, my friend. i.e., “Ah, the sweet smell of success! Or is it the success of sweet smells? etc.” Yes? I like this version much better. You added beauty to it, and made it much more intimate and meaningful. What we did before was meaningless fluff, now a silk purse from a poet’s ear.

    • I am a fan of Poe’s I like how you changed each stanza around like that;))

    Secrets of the Field

    Secrets of the Field Above the green and yellow   rape set field, a pair of white, fixed wing gliders begin to arc and wheel, in search of aerial ecstasy    like two sky hungry falcons .. Oblivious to gasp and sigh, invisible to naked eye amid the...

    • This hurts. a lot of deep meaning behind this.

    • Powerfully penned, Neville. Wow the pain and hurt in your words cut deep my friend. Excellent write. Appreciate you.

    • Too many ghosts, too many horrors in that field, Neville. I can imagine if you look close enough, you can see blood mingling with the grass, feel the stabs and thrusts, hear the screams. A place where even a blue sky, soaring hawks, and warm sun, cannot make this place feel safe, welcoming.

      Beautifully written Neville.

    • Although seemingly it was just a field, it was also one of those rather special places I happened to stumble upon that had its own very strong atmosphere .. a bit like Lourdes, or Deeley Plaza (for me anyway) .. and it was only afterwards when I did a spot of research that I found out about the history .. I can still feel it now as I type this thank you .. Thanks a million Curt .. Neville 😎👍

    think I got it with this one…

    the world goes quiet when I think of you
    as if the noise remembers to be kind
    the pulse slows down the edges soften too
    and somethin steadier begins to bind

    I’ve spent my life in motion hard and fast
    chasin the fire never once the pea…Read More
