Just Wait
You’re a devil running through heaven,
Left me tasting flames,
Ashes burned into my eyes.
Love blinded me so,
Locked heart, locked the skies.
Still, I watched you fly.
Angel with a devil’s tail,
Or devil with an angel’s wings
How do I escape you?
A ghost runs through my mind,
Eyes fixed on fading light,
What was our love, but a sick joke?
Just wait, the stars will turn,
One day, the flames won’t burn.
You’ll see the truth in the scars I earned, ...
Left me tasting flames,
Ashes burned into my eyes.
Love blinded me so,
Locked heart, locked the skies.
Still, I watched you fly.
Angel with a devil’s tail,
Or devil with an angel’s wings
How do I escape you?
A ghost runs through my mind,
Eyes fixed on fading light,
What was our love, but a sick joke?
Just wait, the stars will turn,
One day, the flames won’t burn.
You’ll see the truth in the scars I earned, ...

Now, and Not Yet
In the marrow of your bones,
A fire kindles, a yearning grows,
You're young now, with skin that hungers for love,
But you’re still naive of heart.
Now, your flesh asks for the touch of others,
Fingers trace the shadows of a body
Not yet ready to bear the weight of
A man filled with grownup desire for a woman.
Lust unfurls within like a night-blooming flower,
Its scent asks only for a sinless satisfaction,
But you’re not yet the vessel to carry such a storm,
To open yourself to the flood without losing too much. ...
A fire kindles, a yearning grows,
You're young now, with skin that hungers for love,
But you’re still naive of heart.
Now, your flesh asks for the touch of others,
Fingers trace the shadows of a body
Not yet ready to bear the weight of
A man filled with grownup desire for a woman.
Lust unfurls within like a night-blooming flower,
Its scent asks only for a sinless satisfaction,
But you’re not yet the vessel to carry such a storm,
To open yourself to the flood without losing too much. ...

Echoes
Bestirred by a radio app today,
reiterating the infamy date,
I recollected what my dad would say
about how that war affected our fate.
Sick, he had stayed home from Sunday school
where thusly by a broadcast he had heard
of the sneak attack on Yankee rule
and the international afterword...
which in a few short years saw him training
with artillery to use on Japan
when their empire was at last waning
along with their co-prosperity plan...
but Russian threats, and the atomic bomb,
had his odds increase for troth...

Eclipsed by Time - Tanka
Falling leaves whisper,
echoes of what once had been,
a fleeting embrace,
life’s sorrow, infinite tides,
softly drown the light of youth
echoes of what once had been,
a fleeting embrace,
life’s sorrow, infinite tides,
softly drown the light of youth

A Thousand Futures
I press in with slow and careful muscle,
admiring your breasts, ethereal fountains of life
that glow from curtained light.
So little is seen but there’s much to imagine
as we find our place and ways to approach
the newness of what might be our wedding bed.
Feeling no doubt from you,
I dare not withdraw from this appealing position.
I’ll rest inside of you for a while,
for eternity if the gods allow.
But I have a duty this night; to plant
what I have carried since birth.
The gods of lust demand that I...

Drowning In A Daylight Nightmare
Where are we heading
Human nature helplessly wondering
Mother Nature hopefully warning..
A submerged universe
By a torrent of floods curse
What is coming hope not worse..
A world of less and less meaning
For all those on the surface floating
Solid grounds nolonger touching..
To what is occurring inside unaware
Unable to see the gloom and void in the air
Drowning in a daylight nightmare..
Trapped in a web of wealth and profusion
Full to the brim the sight in confusion
Bathing in...
Human nature helplessly wondering

Solid grounds nolonger touching..
To what is occurring inside unaware
Unable to see the gloom and void in the air
Drowning in a daylight nightmare..
Trapped in a web of wealth and profusion

Silk
I avoid common
pleasantries we end
up falling merciless
at the knees to
as I imagine
you get asked
these questions
quite often,
so we discuss the mentees who
still ring you occasionally, eagerly
filling you in about what's happening
because the powdered wig remains
your life long companion,
how one got their first win recently
and couldn't believe it until they
returned to chambers, you show
me silk scarves your sister gifted
last month as she accompanied

What will it take
For sure what I'm saying might be, happening in someone's own personal life, For sometimes down the very roads of our lives, that we will shed some tears in the silent of the darkness of our lives. But yet it's not over when you cry out in silence, while you are trying desperately not to cry. But instead you chose to fight back, the deepness of the truth of the fears that will haunts, you mostly in the wee hours of the night. For always remember that what doesn't kill you, only makes you that much stronger than you think. 🤔 For sure it's gonna be hard just to forget, about that part...

Why we do what we do
There comes a time in each of our lives, that we have to learn to walk away from the very darkness of deepness, with it's negativity that draws us into a different kind of space that's out of this world. 🌎 For sure my question. ❓ TO you is more beneficial, to the well being of your insanity that has taken, over your life even your thoughts and dreams. For my question to you. ❓Why do we do that what we do 😞 when it comes to our relationships, as we choose to stay in a bad situation. For is it out of the love that you have not yet truly received, for is it that you...

What Does This Future World Holds
This generation no longer sees
• The importance of life I perceived
• Easily distracted by phones and games
• Oh Lord, What Would Jesus Do

The Extinction...A New Beginning
Fires are blazing
Village in ruins
Razing the land
To build something new
Pollute the airwaves
Till nothing can breathe
Take all our garbage
And fill up the seas
Earth will be clean
Once were gone
The way we're going
It won't be long
Final turn
Has come to pass
The human race extinct at last
Time is escaping
The end overdue
Already too late
For fixing the wounds
Our unending rampage
Of earth absolute
Just human nature
To consume and pollute
Be a part of the construction ...
Village in ruins
Razing the land
To build something new
Pollute the airwaves
Till nothing can breathe
Take all our garbage
And fill up the seas
Earth will be clean
Once were gone
The way we're going
It won't be long
Final turn
Has come to pass
The human race extinct at last
Time is escaping
The end overdue
Already too late
For fixing the wounds
Our unending rampage
Of earth absolute
Just human nature
To consume and pollute
Be a part of the construction ...

loose ends
What secrets do you keep in the shadows of your mind?
What dreams do you chase when no one else can find?
Who was the first to break your heart, to make you cry?
What memories remain like echoes from a distant sky?
Do you have a place where you retreat to be alone?
What thoughts run through your head at home?
Have you ever whispered truths into the night air?
What fears do you hide, pretending they don't exist?
When you smile, is it genuine or is it a mask you wear?
What scars do you carry, sensitive and naked?
Who do...
