About this ebook
"I have stood on great mountaintops and felt my immortality; I am one being of land and sea. There is no sound but my heart and wind expelled from countless souls filtered to the very breath of illusion. How you shift beside me; our separation is like a devastation into the still of unquiet and my soul burns from such disconnection. Tell me these messed sheets are not much like peaks and trees, where many souls wander and bring the breaking to my knees...”

Dedicated to my daughter Brianna
This book is a work of fiction and non-fiction.
This is a book about my journey through pain, my past and discovery. Life is a sometimes solemn affair and it is truly a labyrinth of wonder and agony. Inside these words is a place I went when I needed respite and relief from the shadows that at times would find me. I hope it touches at least one heart and moves at least one soul.
In poetry, if part of your soul doesn’t stain the page,
crumble it up and throw it away….
C.Moses
Desert Diary
It burns low and quiet
on nights like these in Mohave
memories.
Lost inside the untamed wild
of mustang passion and
tumbleweeds.
Joshua trees and clear sky.
The boulevards of sand and
the great hungry nothing.
I stare out at skies too large
and wind carries the breath
of desert storms.
I tremble to the sounds of
emptiness that swallows my
being with such feral rise.
I become inside this world.
This diary of fired grains
and the spirit of howled canyons.
A gypsy weed,
a thousand mile journey
Desert Flower
Mohave spoken on raw red dirt.
I was spindles of gathered weeds.
Where spirit flows to the great dunes
of sand and stretched out days of
nothing.
It still speaks in my naked quiet
of the loneliest plain existing.
You say you see such beauty there,
but mother,
I see its cracked earth and
unstitched wounds still gaping.
While your spirit roams alive in its
wide open miles,
I stand taller by the rune of sea.
I cannot be in the desert where
your heart flies free.
Alive
I remember us there
drunken on life,
and eyes burned alive
with laughter.
Apple cheeked and
unencumbered.
We danced to
old time country
and dangled feet
in the creek.
I loved like a serafine.
It consumed me
like the great
pyramid of Giza.
We were all
and everything.
Country wind
and summer noon.
Every cell consumed
with breath.
Poets of Old
I hear the voice of Nabokov
incanted early morning
as my wild arches balance
on the wooden beams of hope.
Teetering between pathways, I
peer to this passionate divide.
It is lulling
