out of focus
a long awaited sun sits in view
where waves wash away the worries of the world
left behind ruins
beneath scars cut from the elixir of life
where we levitate
where destruction demands of time
trapped in trails of temptation
we breed
temptation
in temporary states of mind
but we don't mind
whether we win, we lose, or we die
unfocused
caught up in the focus
of awkwardness
in another's faultless eye

I is somebody
I is somebody
Although I may not do right all the time
The times I do right still count
I ain’t neva had much
Can’t count the times I had to go without
But don’t think I’m round here complainin
Don’t got time to do that
You see I work
These calluses on my hands are all the proof I need
And even though at times I want to quit
Somethin inside me just won’t
Because as long as that there ground is above me
I still got time to be somebody
Because…
Somebody’s body is achin
Somebody’s body is tired ...
Although I may not do right all the time
The times I do right still count
I ain’t neva had much
Can’t count the times I had to go without
But don’t think I’m round here complainin
Don’t got time to do that
You see I work
These calluses on my hands are all the proof I need
And even though at times I want to quit
Somethin inside me just won’t
Because as long as that there ground is above me
I still got time to be somebody

wasteland
i often feel a disconnect; though i breathe, feel, and see the aftermath in full effect; i'm mentally already there-observing the wasteland of what once stood there....
"trash" made "treasure"-was "treasure" made "trash" since the beginning.... centuries passed-yet the core "wrath" still lead to this path of collapse....
life's been a walk in the desert with many mirages in ones' path; from "happy family" pictures framed-to couples holding hands.... the essence of one's whole life-the concept of...

Beautiful tears
Life has an expiration date.
Call it sad or call it fate.
It has to end and all fades away.
You can fight against it but you can’t evade.
Remember your dead for they are not here.
You have loved them now for years and years,
And when you next meet them you will once more be near.
Their ending was not the beginning of your tears.
You have already cried and you did not die.
They fade away but you hold their light.
Inside your heart is where you will find them.
They will be waiting for you at your bitter end.
...

Love and reason
I don't love you for a reason for a reason is like a season,
If I loved you for the sweet sun of spring
the flowers it brings, the settlenes of nature that be,
Then when the cold winds of winter come i will be inclined to leave and seek shelter elsewhere and when your flowers fall I will run to another.
I don't love you for a reason,do not frail my love for I love you but I can't pin point the reason,
For if I have a reason and a reason is beauty but beauty is like a fountain that flows and is captivating,
But a fountain can not maintain for like beauty...

Totems of Life
She blew softly
Dandelion seeds flew
In the same breath
So did you
A wish entombed
In silent mind
Surrendered to grace
In clear blue sky
Into her aura
Dare I die
Like countless flora
Over time
Yet projected still
By my sight
Onto fields
And into minds
Dandelion seeds flew
In the same breath
So did you
A wish entombed
In silent mind
Surrendered to grace
In clear blue sky
Into her aura
Dare I die
Like countless flora
Over time
Yet projected still
By my sight
Onto fields
And into minds

Waves
We wander not aimlessly
but with a purpose
of aimlessness, we wander
with effort enforcing
effortlessness,
and
in these fine moments
where nothing and all
crash together like waves
of a hurricane, we
find solace in companionship,
we find company alone.
but with a purpose

escapism
sun set settings, chilling on a beach, silver screens, long list of favorite foods-fries and burger with some cheese, hostess treats & just about any flavor of store bought ice cream
one's just a walking, talking escapism machine.... if not that than one's going fast asleep.... life to me is like billboard advertisements,non stop
commercials on tv, "news", "politics" and racked up magazines of gossip on "celebrities"....
that's just not real to me.... i'm dead from most the stuff i hear and...

cemetery walk
we walked
through
cemetery
gates
footsteps
spoke on
behalf
of us,
saw old
graves left
untidy and
overgrown
a single
mushroom
grew out
from one,
reminded me
how we are
all her parts
how she
has no room
to discriminate
her young,
none of us
could ever
outrun her
she remains
last to claim
every one
of us.

Life
My life isn't good or bad
It's an incredible and emotional
Extreme,
Full of sunrises and failed dreams
You can find me teetering on the outer edge of insanity.......its fun out there
I have sparks Of imagination that I like to share,
i am aware my reality is full of uncertainty
I try not to visit there,
I pretend I don't care......
So I drag my Weary head out of bed each day and prepare,
Put on my mask to conceal my Despair
Greet each and every person with a smile and a "hi there"
Quick...

chopsticks on the living and dying of things
I
I saw an advert for teardrop shaped caskets
where coroners break one’s rigor mortis
to fold them back into foetal position
plant them with a seed
and let nutrients
from the decaying carbon
feed a tree that will go on to help us breathe
I thought that in itself was poetry
how we’re born of seeds
and to seeds, roots, limbs, leaves
we may be fed
I love -- that there’s no choosing
whether to enrich this nest of ours
in whose familiarity we will never again
drink or be...

Balance
The spool is spun
The first moment I saw the sun.
I lightly tread
Upon a thread,
Walking a line so thin
Knowing I'll fall, let slip my feelings, but not when,
As I teeter over the edge, left and right
Wobbling, knowing not if I'll fall left or right,
Or straight forward,
Or exactly backward,
Or do a loop-de-loop, bounce around
And land anywhere on the ground.
Truths, secrets, social norms, rebellions,
Thoughts, feelings, preoccupations, and actions,
Sometimes lopsided one way or the other,
With thoughts and...
