the hidden world of words
being a poet is about pushing boundaries
I push mine to the limit
sticking with what you know
is the difference between being at the beach
or playing in a sand box
at the beach the tide is going to come in
and wash everything away
writing your poems in the sand
an action in futility?
maybe to some
to me the old is washed away
leaving room for even greater creativity
sometimes you ignite
others combust
but you won't know unless you try
people may hate me
some will love me
but...

Word Trap
Sometimes I feel
like I have nothing to say
Maybe it is because
deep down
I believe
that words are meaningless
that my actions
should speak
for themselves
The rest is just chatter
to keep myself and others
entertained
to get my ego stroked
You read this and say:
"How humble and honest she is!"
See!...that's what I mean....
I can't get away from it
like I have nothing to say
Maybe it is because
deep down
I believe
that words are meaningless
that my actions
should speak
for themselves
The rest is just chatter
to keep myself and others
entertained
to get my ego stroked
You read this and say:
"How humble and honest she is!"
See!...that's what I mean....
I can't get away from it

Felix the Eagle
Soaring high through the sky of Altera Domi
Free of chains and restrictions of the earth
Occasionally calling home the island of Roli
Felix the Eagle awaits the host of good worth.
Ruby eyes never miss a detail
Powerful wings allow effortless flight
If need be, Felix will disappear without a trail
Always seeking to follow the light.
Wise in words yet deadly with claws
This bird of prey is no simple creature
A proficient hunter, yet also a patient teacher
High above the earth, the eagle follows his own laws.
Felix...

Feelings Can't Pretend
With the waning moon I await
the clamor thru the cries
wonders, where's, the why's
here fervor fuels the fair
in love that's disappeared
kindness ripples on
nothing lost, nothing won
breathe ~ please breathe
for light has failed the dawn
as night's beseech the day
darkness swooping in
again, life will begin
but did it ever end
feelings can't pretend
the beats still live in me
it's real, not fantasy
the clamor thru the cries
wonders, where's, the why's
here fervor fuels the fair
in love that's disappeared
kindness ripples on
nothing lost, nothing won
breathe ~ please breathe
for light has failed the dawn
as night's beseech the day
darkness swooping in
again, life will begin
but did it ever end
feelings can't pretend
the beats still live in me
it's real, not fantasy

Summit
They stood on the Helsinki stage
Our president and tyrant friend
A word about the press "witch hunts"
A quick disdain for their "fake news"
The Russian smirks at all efforts
To establish guilt and treachery
His fucking with democracy
His intrusion in the last campaign
Our fearful leader does decline
To take a conscientious stand
Admit the actions of a foe
What the hell, just shake his hand.

I am a Human
Don't text me at 5pm and start asking for information
I'm still working but the majority of the world has clocked out
Texting for work turns people into dictator like zealots
Saying please helps
Thank you is a plus
I'm your sales rep, not your slave
Treat me with respect
I'll give you the world
Otherwise you're just shit on my shoe
I am a human
Remember that ....

Do I Have A Bone To Pict With You ?
I Was Five Lines From A Limerick ,
Counting In Just Irish Arithmetic ,
And In Pictish Bardic Badass
Not To Give Any Faery Sass
That Is Blue Boy Eccentric Geometric !

Temptation and the Territorial Imperative.
The cat is in the window
watching porn on BIRDTV.
Her nose is pressed into the screen
she could no closer be...
The sparrows at the feeder
have her quivering with lust.
She has herself under control
but that is only just...
The other day we went outside
Pearl lounged beside the bird bath.
The leafy shade Moringa made
concealed her from the foot path.
When 'nother cat came wand'ring by
'twere more than she could bear.
She puffed herself to twice her size
and stiffened every...
