nonsensical .. just because
to be fair
the first thing
in a bit
more
is the fact
of it
and not
a lot to get to see
if I was just thinking of me
at a time
to get out
and I would be
a little more frequently
said I would be
better off
if you are having fun
and I don't think you can
get back into reality
if you're not going anywhere
in the future
but I will see it in my mind
and I will see it again
and I will see it all
the first thing
in a bit
more
is the fact
of it
and not
a lot to get to see
if I was just thinking of me
at a time
to get out
and I would be
a little more frequently
said I would be
better off
if you are having fun
and I don't think you can

if you're not going anywhere

but I will see it in my mind

and I will see it all

Four (Short) Po'ems
Our compound's ponds, while
man-made, are nonetheless
adequate rest stops for the
migrating geese.
******************************
Norm of 'personal' freedom is
gone. Imprisoned by my own
broken heart. No palpable
future for an old man.
******************************
"You must be here for a purpose"
they say when hearing about my
uncanny ability to 'survive' so much
cardiac debacle. But
I'd rather be a porpoise.

Again, "No palpable future" for ...

The Heart That Pulls Away Must Mimic And Overcome The Stark Brutalism Of A Solitary Flower Basking In The Final Hours
The Heart That Pulls Away Must Mimic And Overcome The Stark Brutalism Of A Solitary Flower Basking In The Final Hours Of Summer Sunlight
I have been smothered
in a stultifying mud of lonesome indifference,
a volcanic eruption of apathetic terror casting a heavy shadow
into the corners of what is an essentially boisterous and magnificent spirit.
I should write the poems each night,
I should play my songs on the keyboard and sing the lyrics each day,
to honor the extraordinary, creative being that inhabits my shoes.
I should groove each...

Her Mind is a Poetic Gold Mine
With such brevity
creativity
honesty
Authentically..
You weave
magic
with your words
onlookers left awestruck
scrambling
to find their own
Momentarily
captivated by your ingenuity
As you take the ordinary
seemmingly
mundane
Simple pleasures,
Life’s smallest
of treasures
And give them
a moment to shine ...

Illustrate Your Muse With The Needle Of Your Verse
1.
on her arms
carve a delicate
bloodletting
each pinprick
a sandy glint
in her Martian landscape
canals of meaning fill
until finally the storm has left her streaking
like an iron sunrise
on her limbs
the word-tattoos dry
like calligraphy
on tree trunks
2.
she
so mysterious
a
work-of-art
in motion
a
crimson flower
stamped with the light of dawn
on her arms
carve a delicate
bloodletting
each pinprick
a sandy glint
in her Martian landscape
canals of meaning fill
until finally the storm has left her streaking
like an iron sunrise
on her limbs
the word-tattoos dry
like calligraphy

OUT OF DARKNESS
Here within the here and now these nowadays moments unveil, the depth of the true darkness of the truth of just how much life is worth for some of US. For it's sad that it took something of this magnetic, to open up societies eyes after so many years of senseless violence and murders of death. For it's a beautiful thing to see through open eyes no matter the race or creed or color, for enough is enough of these actions that affects each and everyone of US living in humanity. For murder is intentional with malice aforethought no matter how you try to twist it around, for it is definitely not...

POLICE BRUTALITY
As the days become more treacherous slowly swirling around with the process of the pain, that screams within the depth of the heart and soul of everyone as it overwhelms us to see and hear the news. That seems to reach deeper than you can imagine with its vision affect of another, image of someone being pinned down by a cop with his knee in his neck, as he was committing murder right before your eyes. Yet when you see the people of all creed and race and gathering peacefully for the same cause, it speaks volumes about this continue attack upon human life with police brutality which is a...

Comfortably Serene
That warm buzz of
stoned n cidered
one gets the medication dose
eyeballed measurements
Well lubricated space suites function best when slight caution offered to winds

THE TRUST IS GONE
Through these troubling times of insanity with the madness of senseless, violences and murders against humanity all because of the colour of a person's skin. The trust that was once built between the people and police, after another person has been killed by the police not so long ago with no justice. Yet here we are at the same crossroad again as it has happen again, leaving the trust stain with more blood destroyed by the hatred of the police and non common sense. As it has been lost within the turmoil of the darkness within the storm again, for how are we to trust the police to serve and...

Rage against the machine
darkness crushed down
pressure phosphenes danced
behind lids
false stars
rubbed out
gravity erupted
straining lines
off there axis
tumbling through space
forms grappled
in disbelief
yin and yang
tumultuous war
split cells
lines were drawn
in the sand
swords wielded
against paper
injustices rampant
trying to make sense
of the nonsensical
another life taken
snuffed beneath badges of honor
forced to cross the bridge
over something...
