Existential Crisis
What happens
With these piles of paper
Once I meet
The Grim Reaper?

Alter Ego
The night feels electric when
you live in the fast lane,
Fast life, faster money,
no brakes, no shame.
We both stare into the witch’s
cauldron, Whispering "fuck it,"
and leap in without hesitation.
I tried to walk the straight path,
to live my life right,
Said my prayers each night,
seeking peace in the fight.
"You used to be ruthless,
you took what you wanted,
A boot to their necks, your
power undaunted. I thought
I buried you deep, thought
you’d die, But you keep
coming...
you live in the fast lane,

no brakes, no shame.

Lavender Moon
magic lurked in every corner
Tarot cards on dark tables
witchcraft written in beautifully
illustrated tablets
scents of incense
permeated the air
skulls and ravens
horoscopes and symbols
jewelry hung from gnarled wood
shimmering in rainbows prisms
light danced
around the room
old wood floors caked
with oriental carpets
muted by wear
"watch your step my pretty"
painted between doorways
where the floorboards creaked
their own song of
something pending
air was filled with...

Wordsmith
I am the architect of words; a verbal alchemist
Weaving rhymes so seamless; they transcend the mist.
Each syllable I sculpt; a diamond refined
A tapestry of thoughts; the rarest you'll find.
I'm the new age sage; a Shakespeare upgrade
A timeless cascade where brilliance is displayed
A wordsmith supreme; with verses tailor-made
Crafting lines so sharp; they never will fade
I breathe life to letters; make the mundane explode
A master of the metaphor; I decode and reload
Each stanza’s a canvas; each rhyme’s a parade
I'm the...

Stretches across borderlines
How did we get here in this moment in time when the good shall verses the evil forces, that are hell bent willing to destroy this country, over power and corruption something that has no weight when it's about human life. BUT yet it will leave behind, trails of blood stains that stretches, for miles across our borderlines. But instead we are going through some rough times. 😭 THAT by the grace of God Almighty a blessing is on the horizon, that will bring the world. 🌎 Back from the belly of the war hogs setting the stages for world war 3 😠 But instead it comes as a...

The Infamous White Rabbit
There you are, my white rabbit,
Told not to follow,
yet here I am, defiant.
The playboy in Psycho Bunny

dizzy in this whirlpool of bunnies,
Chasing you through shifting

Echoes of a world not fully

Sit with me in silence,
watch Bugs and his crew,
Looney Tunes flicker in the periphery,

Unattainable
Meeting passion founts, elation unattainable
Loving beyond reach, possession unattainable.
Carved pains from which to heal, an abiding endeavour
As mind pleasure, satisfaction unattainable.
Passion and reason in soul, harmony far to reach
Refining a soul, perfection unattainable.
Boundless words poetry, a wonder to uncover
Soaring fancy, destination unattainable.
Beauty, insight of the mind, rainbows of perception
Like truth core, the heart distinction unattainable.
Love, ever Life in motion, the soul rebirth and...

Serpent Coil
Fair is foul, and foul is fair,
A dagger gleams before my eye,
The serpent coils beneath the flower's care.
The witches chant their eldritch prayer,
The cauldron bubbles, vapors rise
Fair is foul, and foul is fair.
"Out, brief candle!" Life laid bare,
A shadow struts, its hour nigh,
The serpent coils beneath the flower's care.
The stars retreat, their fires rare,
Desires burn where secrets lie
Fair is foul, and foul is fair.
In thunder, lightning, poisoned air,
Ambition bids the...

Struggling Autisms
Struggling to function in a world that's dysfunctional
Struggling to view the face in the mirror
Struggling with the concept of existence
Struggling with the impermanence
Struggling to kick certain habits
Struggling to look you in the eyes
Struggling with the these little conversations
Struggling with the flow
Struggling out of time
Struggling to view the face in the mirror
Struggling with the concept of existence
Struggling with the impermanence
Struggling to kick certain habits
Struggling to look you in the eyes
Struggling with the these little conversations
Struggling with the flow
Struggling out of time

It's another year in my life
It's me again the story teller of unspoken words ✍️. 111 It's here at this moment in my life with another year in my life, coming that I am truly grateful and thankful and blessed. To be able to see another day in my life. For tomorrow is a blessing for me, on my 66 birthday. 🎉🎂 For sure it's on this day I silently reflect upon my life, as I journey and travel and walk the last four years of my own life. FOR let's go back to 2002 when I had a spinal infusion and I was unable to walk, 😭 or stand on my own two feet alone. 😔 IT was that moment in...

My Muse of Poetry
Not all the worlds belong to me
Not all the words set me free
What the heart loves
is of will
I just free some words
to confine its spill.
****
A time, my words
on my papers sashaying
the shape to me alluring
the tone of their steps
I hear
as they are dancing
the music they are following
the soul, in a trance, just listens
without interfering.
****
A time, along with my Muse
we keep to each other
our hearts baring
secrets sharing
silently, knowingly connecting.. ...
