finite ll
where do I go?
i've come to the end
verses that once bridged the void
no longer take me to the flowery fields
& sunlit forests of meditation
my words now a winding stairway deep inside
where poetry is an opera of screams
that echos off the steel wall of my mental trap
I seek visions to free me
& one by one they die within
stillborn thoughts
I wonder do these ideas get reincarnated
in the minds of others
I push myself to press on ...

Cobalt Blue
Starry Starry Night
how hard you fuel
their fiery soul;
blue-black backdrop
a feathered crow
glimmering in the moon;
One hundred thousand
million stars, unspooled
amid a fabric bolt
of endless cobalt blue
Starry Starry Night
how your brush
ensnaring space ...
how hard you fuel
their fiery soul;
blue-black backdrop
a feathered crow
glimmering in the moon;
One hundred thousand
million stars, unspooled
amid a fabric bolt
of endless cobalt blue
Starry Starry Night
how your brush
ensnaring space ...

Epidemic of emptiness pt.1
Cowered in the corner
the lost species sat speechless.
Glancing at the calendar
the days slip away.
They couldn't see
the deceptions
they attached themselves to
throughout their time,
Twas the true existential crime.
But the monkey mind morphs moments into something detached so far beyond "reality".
In the midst of mental devastation
they broke down and drowned beneath the raging waves of subliminal schizophrenia.
There is no real nor rationalizations
only blurred perceptions and denial
and self manipulation ...

Before Linear Time
Long ago,
when we were much younger
I shared my life with You
an odd one but a new one.
Now You here
makes it feel like yesterday
growing alive
getting much stronger
walking in stride
growing much younger.
Long ago,
it can seem like only tomorrow
if we forget to play
forget to live today
concentrating on the sorrows.
Early dew
Candlelit den
me and You
Sunset,
My Friend.
when we were much younger
I shared my life with You
an odd one but a new one.
Now You here
makes it feel like yesterday
growing alive
getting much stronger
walking in stride
growing much younger.
Long ago,
it can seem like only tomorrow
if we forget to play
forget to live today
concentrating on the sorrows.
Early dew
Candlelit den
me and You
Sunset,
My Friend.

Seven Girls of the Week
Sunday’s girl is prim and proper
Her hands folded neatly on her lap
Upright
Uptight
A tiny slip will cause a flap
Monday’s girl is dreary and drab
With eyes as cold as a machine
Uncaring
Despairing
Simply put, just plain mean
Tuesday’s girl is so quiet and meek
She can pass without a trace
Timid
Submissive
She’ll always be in her place
Wednesday’s girl, capricious and fickle
Her mood can change on a whim
Erratic
Sporadic
Sometimes bright, sometimes dim
Thursday’s girl is...
Her hands folded neatly on her lap
Upright
Uptight

Monday’s girl is dreary and drab
With eyes as cold as a machine
Uncaring
Despairing
Simply put, just plain mean
Tuesday’s girl is so quiet and meek
She can pass without a trace
Timid
Submissive
She’ll always be in her place
Wednesday’s girl, capricious and fickle
Her mood can change on a whim

Sporadic
Sometimes bright, sometimes dim
Thursday’s girl is...

Dear Mr. Ant
I was minding my own business
When I notice a tiny
Movement on my hand
Did you see me smile?
You froze
Like you can be invisible
...Just for a moment
Your life flashing in front of you
You made me giggle
And I knew
You didn't want to die
You wanted a bit of my apple pie
When I notice a tiny
Movement on my hand
Did you see me smile?
You froze
Like you can be invisible
...Just for a moment
Your life flashing in front of you
You made me giggle
And I knew
You didn't want to die
You wanted a bit of my apple pie

Absolute Dark
Hearts and dreams and broken things
Leaving on a songbird's wings
A trail of breadcrumbs left in vain
For souls who can't go home again
Simple words to keep us warm
To light a beacon in the storm
Are only but a thought away
But fade like sunlight from the day
How short is life
How quick is time
How soon we fade
From others' minds
One day I penned my heart to you
You picked it up and made it true
But beauty too can come undone
When it no longer sees the...

Southern Comfort
We took the trip to New Orleans
A weekend of new pleasure
Watching spangled wonders, harlequins
Not quite prepared for Mardi Gras
Admired wrought iron balconies
Gardens with crumbled fountains
Bars showcasing the local jazz
Until the saints came marching in
We left the city of my reveries
And headed to her fragile home
A plantation fallen on disrepair
Still standing after all these years
I leaned from the balcony
The wind hot, but still it eased
I realized she found her dream
And would do exactly as...

The Wind Knows My Name
The wind knows my name
He whispers to me as he brushes past my lips to softly claim
His strong gust blows my emotions away
Raising my skirt wherever he wants to play
Gently lifting my hair whipping it around my face
No other force of nature gets that privilege to invade my personal space
Unintentionally messes up my hairdo when the draft moves
My red ribbon floating in the wind, his souvenir from our just due
In the absence of his poetic affection
Then he blows my way to advise me of his devotion, his dedication
I hear his...

Mentality
Am I all that you perceive
Or am I simply a charlatan out to deceive
Three hundred and sixty degrees is what it takes to please
The creature of the disease called, "Supremacy"
Having been bound and chained
Forced to travel the plains
Accepting the rules of your domain
For I am not the same
Able to bear any burden, endure any pain
Toeing the line between madness and sane
I realize it has to be, this is my destiny
I must suffer to fulfill the prophecy
Standing in the midst of the rift
letting my mental drift ...
