Dr Zeus
The earth, and I don't mean the planet, provides us with everything and I mean everything.
We are all made from the earth.Look around you,.can you see anything that doesn't come out of the earth?Even the person sitting in front of you is made from earthly elements.
Like every caring parent,the earth not the planet, will keep giving until it can give no more.It won't stop caring, its just that there will be nothing left to give.
The Lorax knew the truth but we haven't listened.Santa fills his sack with earthly things.Chritmas tables are set with earthly things.We...

It’s All About That Soothing Meditative Grace… Om
I do hope everyone is enjoying your festivities during this holiday. We will be crossing over into another month very soon, however, before I get to my incantations and divine salutations ladies make sure you check your breasts for the month of December the month is slowly fading into history, wow, can you all believe we are already. in the last month of the year of the Chinese Zodiac, which is the Tiger.
We had an extra day added to the elements of time, for all you adorable and handsome infants that were birthed and will be born before the conclusion of 2024, parents,...

Jailbreak
I did 13 years for a crime I did not comit.
How could I , I'd only just entered the world when they came for me.Apparently, I'd committed a crime in utero,a mortal sin,that only a baptism could erase and which then would allow me into their system.
13 years for a crime I never committed
I wasn't framed.I went willingly (or did I), to an institution called Catholicism ,where I
surrendered body and soul to a lie.A lie that this life and the next one would be free from suffering.Just yield to a higher authority they said.Everything is pre ordained they...

Epitome of Now
I wish I knew how to paint, so I could print this moment outside of this bed and others could see and feel what I'm experiencing.
There's nothing here but everything compressed inside a tiny moment that will fade in the morning. Still, it is beautiful.
The shape of your lips, the texture of your skin, your smell, your taste, our absolutely intimate casuality.
It's nice to know that I can love something without romanticizing, that I can feel you penetrate my soul while my body is intact, that I can be ok with the no disclosure because the act was never a play meant...

A Thousand Years From Forever (Nine)
The Ascend Of A Queen
Queen Sephora
So Above
So Below
My Lord, what fog has entered the Queen’s foresight
My eyes are open, denied in its fluttering, there is darkness that greets me as pitch as night
Why must my body feel as weightless as water, I convalesced in a fetal position, I am the Queen, of Scotland and England and of Catholic faith never to trust in superstition
Awaken me Yeshua, commence my sacred temple under your skies toll my incantations by the laws of a Hebrew Queen
I do not know if this is a state...

A Thousand Years From Forever Seven
The Waterloo Palace Hightower
Below Sea Level
Full Moon Before The Ascend
The Temptation Of Immortality
Lilith
There are words circulating in the underworld of your arrival my Angelic Queen
We know of the Serer who has the power to fulfil the Waterloo’s divine dreams
You are an embryo to the dark world you have fallen from the energy of Mother Nature’s Earth
Within your Darkness, the Queens of Hades will speak to you before your rebirth

Otherwise
A choice of words I randomly scribe, a symphony
or otherwise, between logic and common sense
No man is an island, perhaps, an olive in their
narcissistic martini
With a boiled carrot of one's manhood, living in a
fantasy, that they can't escape
As a cyclone tears through the asinine mind leaving
fragments of a demented soul playing Tiddlywinks
Now a warped old fool waiting at the depot as
the world passes by, living in a vacuum of denial
or otherwise, between logic and common sense
No man is an island, perhaps, an olive in their
narcissistic martini
With a boiled carrot of one's manhood, living in a
fantasy, that they can't escape
As a cyclone tears through the asinine mind leaving
fragments of a demented soul playing Tiddlywinks
Now a warped old fool waiting at the depot as
the world passes by, living in a vacuum of denial

The Horde
Funny how promises
Are quickly broken
As more lies await
As yet, unspoken
It's all about control
And power
From which one day
Nuclear war may flower
No words are mightier
Than the mightiest of swords
The blood, and ink run dry
As they release their nuclear hordes

breakfast
breakfast
We have views of the ocean
that today looks as poets, say "sun-kissed"
ok, so it is winter sun
sitting inside looking out, it doesn't matter
our first meal of the day is modest
toasts, cheese, and sliced bananas
I have glanced at the morning papers
on the net, the London -Guardian covers
news, but I care less about some contributors
who are biased towards, Russia and repeats
the same lies about Putin
also against Trump
None of this matters today the view is
of the sea, is marvelous and the TV is...

Somewhere That Fades Away
in the morning at the dawning
of another day
no more dreaming thinking's streaming
comes to go away
in the mystic hedonistic
pleasures of the mind
imagining a realistic
moment out of time
when awaking and forsaking
illusion's sparkling draw
cocreating and then taking
to give more and more
intertwining mind in mind in
invisible embrace
as together we're all finding
that we're spiraling through space
in the morning at the dawning
of another day
once again we've been born in ...
