HEART AND SOUL
As we come to this fork within the road of our lives, there is something I feel I need and want to say to you, for as the mere infusing of my emotions and inner feelings echos through the darkness of my silence, deep within my spiritual soul.
I feel that these walls I builded around me not to keep me in as an prisoner behind walls of...

Luring Flutes
Native flutes blow
echoing so
against the daunting rocks
that line this cragged canyon
Harkening me again
as a reminder
to when things were kinder
days filled with the noble buffalo
Was it really so long ago
when all here would sweetly flow
with the great spirit
in an endless rising spiral
KeepIng dear the covenant
with the sacred elk
dancing with such yearning
around...

Risky Truth and Lies
The Truth or
Lie like a dog
Truth sets you free
But at what cost
Lying may save you
But it may get you
In trouble later on
So lie at your
Own Risk or
Tell the truth
At your:
Own Risk!
Lie like a dog
Truth sets you free
But at what cost
Lying may save you
But it may get you
In trouble later on
So lie at your
Own Risk or
Tell the truth
At your:
Own Risk!

Reality
What is real?
What is fake?
Is what you see true?
What about opinions you make?
Are you truly here?
Are you just a figment of someone's mind?
Are you in someone's game?
Is that what you will find?
Who are you?
Are you even alive?
Do you have thoughts?
Are you just another bee in a hive?
Is your mind even controlled by you?
Do you have any say in what is chosen?
Are you just a random spin from death?
Are you in ice and frozen?
Is this all a dream?
Is this all a simulation?
Is there...

God Mode
To whom the spoils supposedly go
History is written by the victors
a phrase often attributed to Winston Churchill
and furthest from Truth falsehood gets
on spectrum of mass subscribed reality—
literature revised by those who treat
life as a first person shooter video game
racking up body count, weapons, and gold—
comfortable at keyboard using cheat codes
or
are simply covering their asses
in a full blown panic to survive

Collateral Damage
Enough will be enough.
Every minute an eternity in agony.
Sadness, no longer the mainstay.
Fury!
Dreams of vows fulfilled, never more.
An act once acted upon is synonym to a lie. Retraction no longer an option.
Is there a point to baring one’s soul?
Will shattered pieces of pledged love, only unto thee, be reparable?
Drunken slurs of disappointment turn to need.
To not be a duo feels crueler.
Nothing will be enough. Constant injuries birth selfish wantonness.

Expanding Upon Your Senses to Enhance Your Reality
Do you believe in supernatural abilities? Extrasensory perception? What if it were possible to hone your senses and change the reality that you see before you? Imagine being able to see more colors than other people. To hear sounds that no one can hear. The ability to literally experience a more vibrant reality, without mind-altering substances, may seem a little absurd unless you’re living in a virtual world; but it’s not as crazy as you might assume, and it’s possible through the power of perception.
Do you believe that a person could train their eyes, or their ears to be more...

Cheryl Eats an Apple...
Fresh from the water
cupped against a plump kiss
She asks herself
"how many ways
...can I describe
eating this sweet thing?"
Her mouth inhales
this fruit
and her tongue
explores the surface
She silently thanks God
While breathing a request for
divine sanction
to plow the surface
deeply with her face
As she takes the plunge
flesh divine fills her
oral cavity with familiar
pleasures
He watches as
she is transported
eyes closed,
groaning

A windswept crush te secret
The secret starts to twirl
around in circles aimlessly
Or is it just me?
An imagined fantasy?
The wind swells
like the loving pigeon does
wanders like a proud dandy
Stretch the neck
Looks around
A windswept crush te secret
A last blow
Carrying the silent words
images of a kiss
The smell a perfume
On my skin
And the memories are already future
around in circles aimlessly
Or is it just me?
An imagined fantasy?
The wind swells
like the loving pigeon does
wanders like a proud dandy
Stretch the neck
Looks around
A windswept crush te secret
A last blow
Carrying the silent words
images of a kiss
The smell a perfume
On my skin
And the memories are already future

Intuition (Hidden Shadows)
You love the shadows of my hidden self?
So, tell me why they hover as dark falls?
When you discover why, when does a wealth
Of intuition strike?
So, tell me why they hover as dark falls?

vows
remember?
all those bullshit, "forever,"
words we would say to each
other
the movie ending sunsets
that we would ride off
into
riding each other with the
fire of comets...
vowing
all for better or worse
all for better or
worse
the worse came
and the better
no longer
mattered
