Michael Stark's Poetry is expansive. The following is one of 23 tracks available on his latest CD: Stark Reality:

WHEN MY HEART GOES HUNTING

When my heart goes hunting
It’s aim is to be true
The melody of my soul
Sings of joy and pain
As I walk down the
Lonesome highway
My colors are
Vibrating in a crucible
Of yellow green and blue
My will moves me into the
Forest of humankind.
Searching for a
Sheltering lover
Along the byway

One door closes
Another opens
I can’t see I can only
Feel my way to the
Heart that will beat
Close to mine

Where in this tangle
Of stars and scars
Is the message you are
Sending?
To soothe and guenche me

Where do you breathe
The breath of my desire?
I need to give all my
Gifts to your unknown soul
So we two can be whole
Inside the circle of
Life.

I will be the sound you
Hear when I find you.
The horn of plenty
Is in my arms.
I carry it fearlessly
To your door.
I need to fill your
Sweet empty cup
Till it runs over
Forever more.
