Half a sentence away from lace wings

Half a sentence away from lace wings

A Poem by Scott Lee

Dead man's head on the wheel
horn blasting for siren's to come
a thought
torn loose by zephyr
travels free
past every Totaliterian sign.
 
Sweet invisible thought
naked
burning
with a mad rush
to explore
what leaves feel
scraping magically down anywhere.
 
A thought untouched by minds
floating through mist
cascading down steep rock,
barefooted boy dreaming for lace wings
along forest edge,
a thought
free from panic
free from all addiction
free from all constrictions,
pride
prejudices
and
hatred.
 
A thought free to roam wild
to feel anything
to leap with fiery eyed squirrels
hopping
limb from limb
better than master ninjas
free to bounce off danger:
objective
loose
skittering across galaxies to reach a radiance
lovelier
than Spring Sunshine
dancing
with vibrant meadow.
 
Petals lean in south bound
gentle on a breeze
begging for a kiss
from a bumble bee,
 
drink my nectar
please never leave
buzz off
fly
fly
but please
return back to me
no more questions of existence
why this
why that
just free
to be anywhere
like God.
 
burning Magnificent
with Red Maples
free from the chain of mad love desire
pulling dead weight battalions through
the Western ghostly sky
haunted by savagely slain spirits
prowling black forests
once
filled
with gun blasts and blood rivers
crazy as the human thoughts that made them.
 
Medieval Man dilapitated and cruel
Medieval Man desperate as a ghoul
searching for the next war-kill.
 
I know a place beyond the cold Oregon
dripping rain night
safe from the pensive lonely stares
safe from murder screams
and
mad house Corporations
digesting people into profits
safe from the alleyway suicides
and
the helpless kidnapped innocence
found in a ditch
near the cold cold tracks,
hiding in shadows lurks the ever eluding lunatic
running rampant
all over the world.
 
   I know a place beyond the lush green longing,
    behind
red bursting Magnificent Maple burning
always there longing through my shadow trampled heart
behind buffalo
stampedes
roaring unstoppable
in
the
heat
of her sweet sweet kiss.
 
Behind the songs of silky voice
 skating through the treasured vistas
 of memory so sweet
it flashes suddenly alive
out of sheathe
forever to shine:
BEAUTY'S KNIFE
slicing in your heart
like summer stars dancing in nights
when you snuck away
to melt in life:
barefooted boy running and dreaming for lace wings
behind a captive verse skipping on glassy lakes that pace
a heavy mind
weighed down by decimated loss
of heart and friend.
 
Long blistered miles add up
on tired cracked bleeding feet.
A cry for HOME is felt in every aching bone
an invisible lasso pulls you in
but you can't get you out
tattered feelings
lay splattered in the moon reflective puddles of wintry night walks
every Fall leaf absorbing the shine of both worlds.
 
Half a sentence away from a lapse
into cold pools of Truth.
 
Once again I know a place that I cannot see
but I know is There
like a brilliant thought you reached
on a summit of illimitable hopes and blinding dreams.
 
A place beyond sad drenched streets
where hopes and flesh do not starve or freeze.
I know a place I cannot see
but feel is there
some Magnificent friendly Hand reaching to be known
reaching to reach out to me, to us, to let us know
it's Here, It Cares.
I know a place I cannot see
but feel is there
It whispers to me at night
like a Father in my ear
embraces me on a warm Island
floating floating flowing floating
out at sea
lazy waves stroll in soft as eyelashes
to touch and tickle
what I cannot see
impossible whispers turn to invincible songs
I never remember
in naked form
if only You could linger longer next to me
and
SING ..........
these soft waves licking sand across my tattered
hostage dreams.
roll back in
and
take me out
please,
to your singing Magnificent Sea.....
 
Can I toboggan slide down your cool track of Tolerance
to feel the patience of Unconditional love and peace?
 
Can I cross star trestle river strikes
where sweet flows course down God's infinite Heart
burning brighter than even these Magnificent Red Maple Leaves?
Can I be invented as Freedom's thought
but shaped the size and color of a red maple leaf,
That people know are there but cannot see?
 
Can I float across the galaxy like this
just YOU and ME?
Free to express anything
Free to shine twice in the summer twinkle of a child's eyes
who just won something of importance
or
is
reunited with her Mother and Father.
 
Free to inspire the genius of a tortured artist who overcomes his doubt
with that delicate, special touch that changes lives for centuries to come?
 
Free to be that Voice singing so pure
auditorium eyes are filled with salty tears
making people think of their Mother
and her
Garden
and
how bright it was to walk through there.
Free to be a song remembered loved and cherished running
through the world faster than Chariots Of Fire,
 
Free to be a speech so strong it gets shot down but comes back
forever as Legend for the courageous heroic Truth
It touched upon in a dangerous time
filled with oven baked murders and absolute Terror.
 
Free to be the invisible thread of love
star-lit and still flowing through incredible
vast distances
half a sentence away from a perfected masterpiece
that will not get recognized or seen or heard until
long later.
 
Free to be the Light-House of human spirit
and to never kneel or yield
to reins of Totaliterian regimes.
 
Free to be a smile blooming beneath
soft maple magic.
 
Somewhere out there
beyond their drab dark talk
plays the wild music he is seeking,
 
Somewhere out there, in here,
 a vast beautiful creature awaits to saturate his soul
half a sentence away from vanishing
I could melt away from every burden to find YOU once again.
  
I know a place I cannot see
but know is there beyond the desolation
of insane deeds
there is a quiet master singing through the trees
trying to help us see.
We are Free
We are Free
to be
the miracles of our thoughts and dreams
please please
do not turn away
but take a leap of faith
rise rise
rise through Me
to be
everything
and more
than what
the eye can see
please take this limited sight from me,
and
show me what i know is there but cannot see
barefooted boy dreaming for lace wings
along forest edge.
 
Reach back in to me
seize me please
all is restless now
all is restless now
my silent voice
a longing thought
floating naked and panic free
half a sentence away from lace wings
vanishing to the fiery Maple of your sweet
silky dreams...........
