Long distance love affair
Romance novel of yore
Bluegrass hillbillies & modern folklore
Soldier of war
Sanguine Knight
Brave but sweaty
Standing tall for the flight
Victory memorabilia minted
Collective memories in newspapers printed
Promise land ashore
Fruits of longing
Cautious optimism for what’s in store
Sweet somethings, shared vision
Promise galore
Voluntary encampment by rapid fire exchange
Heart and mind somehow changed
A revolution prime
A calamity of space & time
A vivid dream turned feelings that linger upon waking
The sun at dusk
Rising each dawn with supple aching
Peaks & valleys of life
A fire tended
Smoke signals from base
Over hillsides of uncertainty
Blind beyond their line…
Morse code
Rhythmic SOS patterns
Battle cries from head & bleeding heart
Resistance cords
Birds. alarm. song
Warfare without boundary
Internal turmoil & personal upheaval
No logic past bulletproof chambers
Cold war
Dodging inner-city bullets
Civil war follows
Refugees flee
A martyr refuses
Chemical warfare
Barren lands
Empty bellies
3-legged amphibians
Flightless bird
Toxic Earth
Darkened hallow
Apocolypse now
Life listless
Sheer exhaustion
Streams of hologram
Iridescent reds & blues
Dizzied from foggy haze
Fending pacing carnivore zombies…
Limbs mangled
Appendages amputated
Innards raw from parasitic attack
Lobotomized
Empty commuter train passes
No jet planes overhead
Time folds…
Surplus ransacked…
Ashes blanket…
White flag waved in the night of black
Love recinded
Gypsy Blues
