The struggle
Struggle: as I try to keep our relationship from falling apart, you searching for someone that has more than I do. You have the nerve to give me a lame excuse to leave me alone and not call me anymore.
Finding out she is a gold digger who was only there for the money and what I can do for her because that was the way she was taught. Making up things that I didn't consider trying to keep up with social media saying this is how it is, but do you understand the struggle.
The way you can tell when a person is down is when you struggle and they never turned their back...

numbness helps one to not as much mind that one's being eaten alive....by something that seems impossible to die ....
why is there something about the word "society" that never seems to sit right(with me)and not just dislike....I don't identify as "anti" but....
"alone" "feels" better most times; while subjected to "societal lies"....

Delicate Survival ~
Delicate Survival:
What a perfect stormy day to share a story. During my travels to see my sister and reconnect after the pandemic for the first time I experienced many awakenings. My spirit was thrown into the winds of the ocean and I rode every wave. The emotions, observance and wisdom that came forward weren’t exactly easy to process.
The lessons seemed to anchor around the circle of life. Showing me the delicate, then showing me the opposite as in survival. Some of the lessons were seriously within feet or yards of me. For instance, sitting and having a...

I'll Not be Obedient to Life
Life, your weight,
your hammer strokes
upon my body and my mind,
your whips and scorns of time
is all too much for me to bear.
If there’s a purpose
in your hammerings
it is not clear.
No matter how I search for it
I’m left insatiate.
And so I ken
along with scores and scores
of other men
whose pain that you’ve been witness to
(if not its cause),
whose wit
you’ve smothered and destroyed,
whose death cries
you have all to often wrung
from them
whose blood you’ve...

reflections from the other side of the looking glass
I see a semblance of—
after searching,
staring down that rabbit hole
finally noticing small
tell-tale signs
flashes of memories
imbued with peculiarity;
tinkling whispers of youth
where joy is carved
permanence
highlights of decades flown
dance upon each line,
freckles dazzle
born of backwards sunlight
and dripping grains of sand
textures varying
from abstract art
to the smooth design
of a bygone era,
palpable in speckled
almost unrecognizable remnants

Existence as a will to savage grace.
Exist
The plant medicine
is not just
in
ingestion,
but
includes
profound,
interactive
Observation,
The stratification of the seed,
having
traveled
a light year,
across an ocean
in secrecy,
to unravel
here,
in
this
secret darkness:
Urban Alchemist,
Mental Anarchist,
Primal striped exterior,
a fierceness,
like the mists
into the ocean
cliffs,
Everyday
reaching out
for
this
Exist.

Flames of Time
Dancing brightly, life breathes and spreads
Waiting at dusk, death creates ash
We feel heat from both flames of time
Waiting at dusk, death creates ash
We feel heat from both flames of time

swallowtail
reaching through reams
of darkness
your cocoon
a mere twist of fate
torn through the seams
of time
expanding superbulous
oh how you fly
on glorified wings
to the most treasured places
mingling your essence
in every flower
dusting your beauty
into the hearts of every
inner child
who longs to capture
everything you are ...
if we only understood
your short journey
joy actualized
into our bellies
where laughter
lifts you to the heavens

Death of a Lover
I knew her seconds from death, sharing all that she was.
Twenty years spent racing toward the wall,
tasting the fruits and salt of life,
stopped at a wall she could not pass.
I heard her harsh cry at the unforgiving canyon floor,
then the jingle of silver coins she held.
Each coin was a love lost or found,
the hug of her mother, a lover, or a trusted friend.
I followed the coins trying to see.
Was that sparkle her first kiss
or the first giving of herself completely?
Was that flash a euphoric night when her sweet frame ...

Letter to the Lost Lover
Lost love, forbidden lover.
Read this and know this is my final adieu.
For years I have conspicuously placed poems for you. Teased and led you on while thinking everything I knew was true.
But I was lying to myself thinking you were obsessed with me, and in reality the obsession resided in me and my three beings.
Three beings have become of me. Failed relationships and broken hearts have created this monstrosity.
Promiscuity and erotic behavior have unleashed unforgivable behaviors and sadly you were caught in my web of...

out of body experience
uniform; you-in-form.... "chasing" a "unicorn".... since you were born.... you've been torn....within this "human form"....
like a tailored suit, one's ego wants to turn back in; this filler within blood, bone, skin....
lusting off of carnal whims; bracing self for when it ends....if or when the "soul" "ascends"-into an uncut permanent version of an out of body experience....
nothing appears "worth while" till then; except "escape" some how within....

I AM GRATEFUL FOR YOU
As we evolve and elevate through levitation of the heart and mind, exposing the mere collaboration between the two, elements of our spiritual connection of the skin against thy flesh. For it is through this transformation of exchange, between body and soul with beats of the heart rebooting the mind. That is when we are within the depth of our subconsciousness, that's when we feel the transcending thoughts, that appears to float reaching deeper than deep. Still connecting US as human beings mentally and physically and emotionally and spiritually. For it is through the passing of time which is...
