Last Laugh
When we walk
Death walks with us
We take a breath
Death takes one too
Deaths not a stalker
or some glib talker
just a lonely shadow
doing a thankless but necessary job.
I'll have the last laugh
and the last breath though
and death, might rage
he didn't get me on his terms, will move on
and find some more compliant poor soul.
Death walks with us
We take a breath

or some glib talker
just a lonely shadow
doing a thankless but necessary job.
I'll have the last laugh

and death, might rage
he didn't get me on his terms, will move on
and find some more compliant poor soul.

Giving Up The Softness Of My Mental Saturation
Sun-Day Goddess
The song within the winds
Blowing so softly as a new day begins
Harsh to memories destroying paths of sins
Funneling clouds brewing within
Tornados of the mind going around and around
Not settled unto I come down
Land me in soft field not of disdain
Nothing still standing under my name
Rebuilt all that is lost
One could only keep their fingers crossed
Dark clouds stubborn to give way
Paradise beyond the colors of the rainbow
It’s all the heart as it resonates could say
As the mind escapes to...
The song within the winds
Blowing so softly as a new day begins
Harsh to memories destroying paths of sins
Funneling clouds brewing within
Tornados of the mind going around and around
Not settled unto I come down
Land me in soft field not of disdain
Nothing still standing under my name
Rebuilt all that is lost
One could only keep their fingers crossed
Dark clouds stubborn to give way
Paradise beyond the colors of the rainbow
It’s all the heart as it resonates could say
As the mind escapes to...

Lexicon of Love
The word LOVE
Should be removed from all dictionaries.
It's the only word I know that's beyond definition.
No other words can describe it.
Don't even try.

Have You Smiled Or Even Laughed Today
Naked reflection mirrors the truth of one’s soul. It’s the pivotal time in your life when you stop, turn around, and glance upon the necessities you have taken to bring the presence of the soul to such a point in time.
I have been blessed to have enclosed the aura of my being with great minded people alike, and associates of greater affluence and keen intellect, but is this all my essence, what my creed stands for, shouldn’t there be more to me, if all possible, on this green earth.
I am finally realizing materialistic gains is boundless, and it does not...

Cease and Desist
Who are they talking to that nobody can see?
A friend
A colleague
A tradesman
A lover
A sibling
A ghost of a former self ?
What are they listening to that no-one can hear?
A podcast
A song
A book
A fading echo of their inner voice?
They move amongst us
the wired, the tired, the nearly expired
the zombie walkers
the mindless runners
those boom box bastards on their e bikes.
Put the noise away....I beg you.
Listen to the songs...

Deep State of Voodoo
A fair amount of hypocrites' dark winds
yesterday's clouds become shadows
turning into dramas possessing arrogance
and a sickening scent of moral decadence
in the mind's monsoons echoing larceny
for a moment's sheckles of doubloons
in a deep state of voodoo
yesterday's clouds become shadows
turning into dramas possessing arrogance
and a sickening scent of moral decadence
in the mind's monsoons echoing larceny
for a moment's sheckles of doubloons

What Is To Sorrow
What is to sorrow with a gift of rain
or a silence before the rising dawn
soft as the winds fly the leaves
lifting the shadow of darkness
reaping sheaves harvesting mellow
until the dew leaves footprints of God
in dreams of Eden
or a silence before the rising dawn
soft as the winds fly the leaves
lifting the shadow of darkness
reaping sheaves harvesting mellow
until the dew leaves footprints of God
in dreams of Eden

Spelling Conflict
Ancient witchery.
Sadist trickery.
Satan's symmetry, naked simile.
Makeshift mystery.
Clayman signaling.
Ba'al brilliantly, mages mimicking.
Baseless trinity.
Jaded litany.
Raping industries, Pagan ministry.
Reigning villainy.
Lasik's visibly.
Sacred disbelief, waiting sinfully.
Nation infantry.
Races lividly.
Making history, major chivalry.
Raided inquiry.
Neighbor's infamy.
Claiming liberty, heinous wizardry.
Plaintiff disagrees. ...

storms never last
what walls
can
oppression,
intolerance
build
uninterrupted,
those willing
to sell
their values,
boundaries
set by
the minds
of ignorance,
but, there
are some
that can
see scenes
further away,
strength
in their
convictions,
one voice
can begin
to change
many, and
then change
can happen.
