Thanks mate
It’s an honour to write with you all, and an honour to remember Soul ☀️
Ah, you see I had about 400 poems back in the eons of starting here. Then I deleted them all (I do have backups of them all in personal files) and started again. Got to about 300 and something then gave the old profile a reboot to my current form. I’ll be hitting my 10 year in a couple of weeks.
That’s madness.
It indeed is an honour to be part of something this special.
Every single poet who's contributed to this wonderful and timeless gift from the Soulman, I hold my gratitude to ever so deeply.
DU...well 10 years is nothing when it has become part of ya life dear friend, congratulations in advance.

The arrogance of manipulation
I used to care
more than I should
wrestling with it
knowing such duplicity
Front row
to the sauntering about
while committed sacredness
shatters
into shards of betrayal
Listening to justifications
as skin crawled
and personal embarrassments
flared into disgraced horror
Witnessing
how sorrow sings
as the reality of truth
colors
each stroke
Painted shades of selfishness
O' the breadth of deceit
and the extent
the sheer lengths
gone to
to feel relevant
Ensuring
a singular soul
can "peacock"
without disappointment
grooming in specifics
so you think
it's your idea
eventually
realizing
you were always
going to be
disposable—
in comparison.

(NoPoo 211) Struggling Within
Tasted so much pain
With bloody lips
Struggling within certain feelings
Always on borrowed breath
Anotger breakdown dead ahead
Pushing against deacending darkness
Sleeping giant awakens
Only time will tell
If survival instincts
Are enough again
One step closer
To wilder nightmares
Sanity's cutting it fine
Every situation different
Newer view of suffering

i am my father's shadow
and bad or good
he is, was or ever will be
care i not
for it is not for me
to choose
i am my father's shadow
i am born to follow him
every time
he faces the sun
I am my father's shadow
I will be there too
for his steps to land on
every time
the sun chases Him
I am
my father's shadow
sun or no sun

There's really no substituting
I read today
of pain and ostracization
I read today of hate, intolerance
and demagoguery
I read today of the incomprehensible
and the should be unfathomable
beautifully iced of whipped
saccharinized sweetener
thinly disguising
layers upon layers
of pious indoctrination
and a piped veiled attempt
toward enlightenment
I read today
that the meaning of equality
is not equal to everyone
I read today that love is not love
it's only for those chosen
I read today that my opinions and choices
aren't as important
and are fodder
"a joke"
Laughs stream into permeating tears
sweetness turns an acrid sour
as calls of 'uniting differences'
and finding 'humanity'
second proceed
with the 'reality'
of your life and your life and your life
(etc etc etc etc etc....)
being called a mockery
in whole as well as in political belief
The truth, hidden inside
a confectionery delight,
those kind with secret centers
revealed only when cutting through
and spilling forth all the cavity creating
stomachache inducing
sickening sweetness
that cause rot and decay
in hopes that very truth stay hidden
I read today that propaganda
when cooked in the right recipe
becomes palatable
and mistaken
for honest sugar
when it's all just coated of Aspartame.

Wishes
and a child is born
not of my time
not under my tropical sky
and blessings I wish I could bestow
that I could beseech soughing spirits of the winds
that I could call upon blessed ones
in the spring of love the offspring of souls
from the realm of then for a child born of them
grant strength and wisdom of gods to this child
that by the light of morn, brightness of the dawn
to bestow the child a beauty born of love and life
all its shine to leave not darkness un-overthrown
fairness be upon his countenance
beauty shine and beauty borne
you are all those and more
angel dusts and unfurled wings
Happy Birthday, Gabe.

(NoPoo 212) Seeds Of Anger
Seeds of anger that grow inside
Tendril roots spreading
Rage in a cage
Always waiting patiently
To burst forth
voice raised as body shakes
Uncontrollable feelings
Pushing through invisible barriers
Undiscovered monster let loose
Upon the unsuspecting world
Just like nuclear meltdown
Chain reaction splitting human atoms
Surging seething senses
Exploding focal point
Then instant shame and regret

Arpeggio
Shapes that become the lyre
carry wafted whisperings
along the wind afloat
Where dost thou sing deepest
loud, where only You can hear
deep within the caverns
I follow, listening, pour out
my own song, blending
rhythms we set in string
Joyous, these progressions
create music, only hinted in dream
Realities singing, strum every string
Dost thou resonate deep music
where our vibrations float heavens
Hast thee placed melody
hollowed body filling tunes
gaps bridged, keys that turn
where notes are being trilled
Plucked by the other
found waiting upon storefront shelves
every day new gleams ringing
preparations for concert halls
eighth, quarter, half, these steps
given scale, fill out our whole note
carry wafted whisperings
along the wind afloat
Where dost thou sing deepest
loud, where only You can hear
deep within the caverns
I follow, listening, pour out
my own song, blending
rhythms we set in string
Joyous, these progressions
create music, only hinted in dream
Realities singing, strum every string
Dost thou resonate deep music
where our vibrations float heavens
Hast thee placed melody
hollowed body filling tunes
gaps bridged, keys that turn
where notes are being trilled
Plucked by the other
found waiting upon storefront shelves
every day new gleams ringing
preparations for concert halls
eighth, quarter, half, these steps
given scale, fill out our whole note
