Beach Of Loneliness

On beach of loneliness where storm clouds smile 
I dream about orange leaves of joy that fall 
as harbinger of Death who walks with me 
to help me understand why things will fail 
in turning of the tide each shocking mile 
while I still contemplate how to live free. 

Down beach of loneliness toward fragile tent 
that flaps with anguish in contentious wind 
I linger by the grave of hungry ghosts 
where I once buried someone whose whole name 
has vanished in slow turning tide of hope 
till I almost forget how to live free. 

On beach of loneliness with snow-white wings 
of squawking angels who despise my fear 
I breathe intense despair of sad desire 
for how the silver moon in pale blue sky 
still understands what feelings I would hide 
as if I understand how to live free. 

From beach of loneliness on fearful hope 
cold melancholy rises from my heart 
as Aphrodite with black eyes of love 
and presses her compassion on my chest 
till we become one universal soul 
that teaches nobody how to live free. 

Across beach of loneliness on frail legs 
I stalk grim shadow of my nameless fear 
as rain pours from arrogant eyes of death 
to drench my heart with anguish of desire 
to taste sweet wisdom of the pungent fruit 
that inspires my heart with how to live free. 

On beach of loneliness with beating heart 
I strum rusty strings of broken guitar 
which I stole from lost tomb of Mercury 
and sing with spooky sorrow of the sky 
spellbinding psalm that honors storms of love 
for futile quest finding how to live free. 

Above beach of loneliness in gold glow 
Diana floats on flaming wings of love, 
imbuing hearts of people on the Earth 
with healing balm of acute empathy 
that resurrects our souls from grave of truth 
so we learn riddles on how to live free. 

To beach of loneliness I will return 
to escape strange chaos of global fame 
so I can sit still through adoring storm 
and find again the secret self I lost 
on restless journey to the Promised Land 
where I compose book on how to live free.
