Poetry from the Street

Caught in the sudden light The lie revealed Explodes the heart's sun Leaving betrayal's ashes. Above, the golden sun Spins from the sky, While I dive to the bottom of my tears. In this place of mourning, No morning sun to light my way And I am left alone In the love-bereft night Of my heart.
Bob I am not a homeless wanderer. I am a homefilled wanderer. For years I painted landscapes, perfecting a style of angelic dreams To remember. To awaken. Now I want to live in those paintings. After all, shouldn't living itself be our greatest art? It is. It is the only art I desire to master now. I've let go of all that ambitious other stuff. Come along with me... I'm inviting you to step into my creations and play.

Light breaking Wave on wave, The day's pain, Drowns in the ocean of Light. Myself, shedding The bruised skin Taking wing On gentle beams of Light. Feeling the rough trees Bearing me up Along the nests Of eagles!
Bob King
Lions are growing like yellow roses on the wind; Leaves turn gracefully in the medieval garden among the roaring blossoms...
Brian W.
For Conrad A giant redwood now still as a fallen leaf. Homeward, to the root of all things. Breathe now the stars. Let our tears follow you into the house of love. ~Bob King
