True Colours.
there's honesty in
the shades, hues, depths or brightness
those are real tells

to thine own self (and you) be true.
To find that secret place
'Tis once buried;
O' fathomless profound
thine own storied [mis]fortune
pondering the mere slight.
Perhaps thy burning thoughts
of divinely need?
As once, such burden form and fit
when hidden o'er dawn's dewy hilltops
of grassy blades
that cut
a deepest green
mixed
amongst crimson hue'd;
Hence so dense and heavy marked
here, in all acquired bold,
conjoined by sheer providence, now ours.
Keep chested locked in iron clasp
forever shared betwixt
us two, ...

A long intentional stretch
stimulates warmth ~ loosens
Altoids, to pack a punch when needed
Last minute neck rolls
round and round
Music queued,
I tie my asics up just so
It's always the same route,
creature of such habit, this one
out the battered screen door,
down the front garden sidewalk
through the magnolia tree debris
(those damn pseudo wanna be pinecones)
a veer to the left,
pet Sammy, as he comes running up
begging just right for the treats
from my tiny legging pocket
Oh to bask in...

Thoughts in an abandoned house
How much sadness in these forgotten ones
Our abandoned buildings and houses!
The windows are broken, the doors are clogged
Sad shadow of wilting ...
In old and abandoned
our houses
someone else's smell,
unusual and strange
To infinity
space scope,
crumpled lines
And the
strangeness of desires
obsession and oppression,
crushing the debris
glass and showers,
crunchy underfoot,
tearing themselves
the cobweb snares
Wonders: faces,
mourners over us,
someone's saints
on a plywood...

Mini earthquake experiences
My first trivial tremor experience had been in Southern Africa
And now this puny earthquake I felt in Tanzania.
I saw every thing waltz to and fro and lightly shake
Bottles turned ballerinas dancing slightly to the quake
I watched glass decors on the walls quiver and jolt
Scaredy me was half asleep, no wonder didn't bolt
I thought I was dreaming or imagining things
My bed and chairs converted into gentle swings.
All vials and vases
jiggled to dance a jig
The lil horrors over
So I cast humor's wig💃🏽 ...

Femininity
Femininity ...
This is not something that is given from nature,
but something that Nature gives if a woman is able to accept this Gift ...
Woman's nature is caring, tenderness, understanding, wisdom, sexual desire, energy of the night
A treasure. You can be beautiful. You can be wise. You can be sexy
You can be understanding. You can be gentle ... Mysterious ... But Femininity is something more
It's like Night. - You stand in the night, you look at the stars, you practically don't know anything about them,
but they seem to you the most dear, the most...

This Valentine's Day
be your own—
know your worth;
arise from the lost world
of swan-song and youth
Honor your growth
because it's your Truth;
allow this dawn to anoint
your violet voice
Indulge in joy
because you deserve;
cast yourself as belief—
silence the bells tolling
for the loneliness of yore;
Love like you've never
swallowed its honey before
~

maybe it's an accidental accent, shock, or why EMT's are always so handsome.
July 2019
it's searing and bone protruding
eyes blinded, bloody
shards of glass and encroaching fear
red, blue, and yellowish-white lights blur
a language I can't quite understand
or an accent maybe
cold, so cold - like Ohio, when I was small
Am I frozen?
Maybe I was dreaming of long ago...?
Then I tried to move
my legs work, my fingers move
my arms and head
wait, wait. .... not my head
why can't...

Mutation of hearts
Hearts and feelings mutate,
Feeding on malice and vice,
And in cruel denial
All drink and drink their blasphemy ...
In the poison, finding oblivion
They splash intoxicated with it,
Storing the sediment in the soul
In cruelty wishing - it is sweet to them
And the silence perishes
In the basements of gloomy foul language,
And the light fades and
the true darkness is revealed,
Eating everything human in humanity ...
Feeding on malice and vice,
And in cruel denial
All drink and drink their blasphemy ...
In the poison, finding oblivion
They splash intoxicated with it,
Storing the sediment in the soul
In cruelty wishing - it is sweet to them
And the silence perishes
In the basements of gloomy foul language,
And the light fades and
the true darkness is revealed,
Eating everything human in humanity ...

sit and listen.
i.
the colors are dark now
a sweet flickering
from soft lighted windowsill candles
glow, off in the distance;
catching my eye just right
it's then-
those dancing twists of light
are heartache perfect
ii.
fingers
absent in mind
tendril twirl
in repeated twirls;
my custom-made afterthought
blinded,
to an automatic action
of such a soothe,
that instigates to create
iii.
a hushed index finger
[pon nosetip]
sit and listen ...

streaming a blink of insomnia's consciousness.
did I set the alarm?
why wasn't I honest ?
i shoulda peed.
my whole body is sore.
::cramps::
i need to check the renter's insurance.
that was some ridiculously hot reading.
why didn't I get a text?
where is my patience?
my ass is too fat
::pillow flip::
Ahh cold pillow.
I hate Guy Fieri.
I'm hungry.
I wish I had fries or dark chocolate?
Both.
Fuck!
Repeat, my ass is too fat
I hope Biden kicks ass. ...
