The Poetree Tree
Autumn:
Words fall
Like Autumn leaves
Now jaded, but no longer jade
But a tapestry
Of 'rusty' colours
Of a myriad fading shades
Winter:
The fallen leaves
Now brown, and rotten
Crushed underfoot
And soon forgotten
As naked trees
Neon shades lost
Bare arms reaching out
For her missing children
Spring:
The cold dark bleakness of winter
Is soon replaced
As the golden glow
Of the sun
Begins to warm
As nature is reborn
The tree has new children ...

A Thousand Years From Forever (Ten)
A Thousand Years From Forever
Queen Sephora’s Manor
Scotland
1700
Yes, I tell you the Queen left the Great Hall and we traveled the winding road out back
Usually, we brush her hair and read to her before her bedroom retired snack
It was rather peculiar she said the night wind whispered to her by name
We dressed appropriately, we uplifted our torches since the midnight hour had already gained
The Queen was talking to us three, then all of sudden, she was nowhere to be seen...

Island retreat
One day the 1%
will take a private yacht
out of America
and then bomb the fuck
out of Americans
until everyone
is dead…

Silent Night, Holy Night
The Eastern Sun Kingdom
Twas Good Cheer
Oh, my King we are getting too old for this
Woman, we are melaninated, and created from the inhale and exhale of His nostrils, we are sacred cosmic dust upon the winds that drift
You still look the utopia of yesteryear, and sexy as Heaven’s twinkling stars
That’s only because you weakened me when I crossed your threshold bearing my presents, and after that night on your sleigh bed, looking back we’ve come so far
Gray haired after all these years, yet still giving humanity its much rewarded...

It's all BS
Are all Religions just Terrorist groups by another name?
I am an evidence based kind of guy and the overwhelming evidence suggests both are identical, man made and fundamentally anti humanistic.
We all know it but none will admit that, Religion is Terrorism.Behind Religions high moral values, you will find the same appalling values of any Terrorist group.
The soils of the earth are enriched by the bodies of those who fought and killed for Christ,for Allah,for some silly sun god.

P.O.F.S.
vampires don't exist
but if they did
they'd wear red hats
and suck the life out of me
aliens can't land their mothership
because the world is flat
so they just fly right passed
some days I can't believe
that this is really reality
most of you should be ashamed
but you're too stupid to be ashamed
and If I was a zombie
I would starve to death
no, we can't disagree and still be friends
piece. of. fucking. shit.
if there was a time I believed in unity
it's long and gone
my short term memory...

the rabBIT hole
Down into the hollow....
Where no one else will follow.
Where no one else will know.
Somewhere deeper than below.
That's where you'll find me.... grasping!
Within me, my Spiritual self, gasping....
For the real me, & for air....
But time, & again there is nobody, & there is nothing there.
That's when I start to free fall.
That's when I can hear my God, beginning to call.
But I've abandoned "nearly" all control....
Traveling once more, down that same old rabBIT hole.

salt water roads (2022)
These roads hold more weight
than they should
drenched in salt and fear
and daytime panic attacks
Purgatory leaves me breathless
I don't belong here
I shouldn't here
I don't want to be here
But home isn't four walls
and solid ground
it takes more than that
to make a home
I am by definition homeless
I'm a life shoved into too many bags
I'm a heart that beats for yesterdays
I'm what fate hasn't decided what to do with
These roads become familiar

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,...
