    - - A D&D stone roll Die 111- -

    a man of my word

    though my sense of time

    if not my sense of life

    differs from one

    side of the die

    to the other

    images paint my mind

    yet my limbs are like trees

    driven by the winds

    to sway in bursts of art

    yet as a mind wills the vvill

    there must be order

    a spell one can summon

    to cast upon the witness

    beauty in an instant

    within an encased

    state of being

    yet always these enchanted chants feel the most hollow

    when one merely longs to sing a hymn worthy

    of one's muse...

    *

    the will of time swaying the hourglass

    spinning the bottle with fate

    as a kiss with a mortal

    coils at the edge

    of the twenty seventh

    moon as eighth

    races across

    dressed

    as the

    dawn

    a morning

    of another

    petal

    as the hands speak

    in motion

    a voice repeats

    she loves me”

    *

    the tao of palms

    circles rolled of colours

    as the year closes

    into the dragon's winter

    a hallow solstice

    as this hollowing

    of a soul searches for

    a root to boil

    in a spiraling tea

    as the leaf that is

    ferries ones hopes

    across these uni-verses

    veils we share

    as threads

    tie

    what tides lie

    before the foaming

    surf of our

    wondering youth

    &

    our wandering wisdom

    *

    when I close the door

    eye never turn around

    on the 28th year they notice

    that the web eye had sewn

    to guard them from

    the cosmic bombardment

    was removed on my 26th

    as the whole of the 27th

    remains a mystery

    without a hope

    eye left them

    fore in our

    time

    spent

    in youthful

    digressions

    eye had learned

    their dreams

    passions

    peeves

    yet they only

    gathered

    eye was a strange tree

    but perfect strangers

    can name that fact of me

    so eye left wondering

    if I had close friends

    or am eye just close

    to everyone eye

    encounter

    with

    a

    hope for a counter point

    to my almost assuredly

    absurd narrowing

    burrowing

    view

    at a moments notice

    fore I live to be surprised

    so I have to follow my guts

    & dream that eye am wrong

    *

    - - arrow digits - -

    live as if the shadow will never reach you

    know that time will arrive when the hood

    lingering before the threshold is our blood

    as the rage we wielded will meet

    with the passion we passed

    through our veins

    one grasp rise above the crown

    as the breath of the universe

    inhales into a stilled

    silence as the parting

    draws one to point

    away from the center

    falling curved

    as heaven's bow

    the archer

    straining

    the dawn

    of

    a day moon”

    - - de 28th kata - -

    when you are free you will know how caged the rest of them are

    you shy away from touch

    shielding and sheathing your embrace”

    building a being worthy of death

    as the cost of a life paid in lives never escapes you

    build a mind that can find humanity again

    build a frame that will

    sea one through the oceans

    of sense's gluttony

    when one burns keep enduring till there is no air left

    give pain no heirs to rob you of your future glory

    speak of bare hands but know

    one is always a swordsmen within

    the order of poets resting

    under the shade of a willows

    wielding the arrows of destiny

    dancing the steps of the tao

    motions of the bending river's

    mouth to gravity's breath

    circles circles circles

    the shape of one

    to reach

    with

    from a dot to a line

    from a line to curve

    from a curve to a whole

    from a whole to a hole

    always circles

    yet ones destiny

    can be any shape

    as the warrior

    knows

    the shapes

    before us

    reveals

    where

    one

    needs

    to be

    or

    what shape

    one needs

    to be

    and finally

    happy birthday

    to me...
