Collage #2 - Outsider Looking In
I was always on the outside
Looking in
Wasn’t much I wanted in there
Loner type
Like the song by Bob Dylan
Off the album BLONDE ON BLONDE
“Just Like a Woman”
The line … ‘I can’t fit”
So Art called
I jumped in
Many years later I remain
A movement for outside artists
Platform to stand tall
Malcontents, nonconformists, freaks
It’s like your warm embrace
Finally… I fit

Abscent Pictures
Many frames are empty
memories seem to disappear
not much more to create
isolation is what I fear
Journey decades back
this wasn't the case
family and friends fulfilled my life
was in a much happier place
Now I'm old & tired
watching the days move by
not much more to live for
passing the time, waiting to die
memories seem to disappear
not much more to create
isolation is what I fear
Journey decades back
this wasn't the case
family and friends fulfilled my life
was in a much happier place
Now I'm old & tired
watching the days move by
not much more to live for
passing the time, waiting to die

Eight years of language
I can only speak
naked in the shower
because this evening
I had to slowly pull off
surgical bandages
under hot water
found purple bruises,
yellow stains gifted to
me last Tuesday gone
it revealed how
pain didn't bring
me to this moment,
told me how my mind
had to spin like Mercury
for the past eight years
as my lips drip
karmic actions
from Mars,
ran my hands
through my hair
letting each tear
tumble down
cheekbones
...

Senryu - Ponder 8
This life, but a clause
in an infinite sentence
death is not full stop

Menopausal Madness
You have no idea how chaotic and stressful my life has been in the last several weeks
I’m living with a passive aggressive nutjob
no more smiles or laughter
those days are over
one second she’s quiet, the next she’s crying
a minute later were having a normal conversation, the next she begins an argument
not just any argument,
screaming at the top of her lungs
something as petty as why the garbage wasn’t thrown out,
or why is there 20 dollars missing out of her wallet
clearly she forgets that she has numerous wallets throughout many different...

Without a mask
Drifting away in the depths of my mind,
Lost amidst the shifting sands of time,
I gather fragments of information,
Radiant before my bewildered eyes.
The words spoken hold little meaning,
Actions unfolding, a puzzle unsolved,
I wander aimlessly, endlessly,
A clown in this theater of dreams.
Uncertain of my role, my purpose,
Striving to grasp the elusive truth,
I navigate the labyrinth of existence,
The heart's tug of war, an endless pursuit.
Lost like a diamond amid scattered stones,
Within the vast expanse of...

When life gives you lemons
You trade them in for limes
Get some tequila
and remind those mother fuckers
who the fuck you are.....
One. Done. Fuck. You.

ghost buds
the little
ghost buds
were expected
on
the trees,
its show piece
among
the uncountable
leaves,
rambling green,
do not
hesitate
to show
yourself,
your beauty
is self-evident,
but one
may disappear
without notice,
and in
the column
of blue-gray,
you
will not
lose
your identity.

Journeys Around The Sun
I never wanted the wrinkles
But they are creasing
I never wanted the gray hair
But like weeds in the grass
They grow like wildfire
Aches and pains
And I get no younger
But as I take my fifty third journey
Around the sun
I unequivocally resolve
Though the beauty of my youth
Extends further and further away
The fire within burns brighter
With each new day
Fifty three is not the new twenty three
Fifty three is not the new thirty three
Fifty three is...
But they are creasing

Extends further and further away
The fire within burns brighter

Canonical Hours
So often sought in twilit skies
are the arcane secrets there
when that luminous flux applies
to the billow surge it must share
with lunar lumens at their peak
and stars and planets in the mix
to play a cloudy hide and seek
as if a writhing bag of tricks
ruled the moonrise roost of beams
in threshold vermicelli waves
overlapping cumulous streams
cascading through the freshest graves
to squirm in some composting meat
long past the matins on repeat
for martyrdom at every turn,
in undercroft...or welkin churn!

Sunspot
As I sit here enjoying the sun spot
feeling the warmth on my face
I consider the jaguar,
eight years spent quietly
growing and molting
in and out of this fur,
teeth smiling and snarling
as claws sharpen themselves
for another round of walls
containing everything
I am simply made of
and I laugh;
knowing I defeated
a system designed
to fail my purpose
so I will laugh
as I watch my siblings
come into their own
as they go hunting
believing their best ...

A Blessing If You Would Learn
The heart when young, so blissful and knows no sin
the mind's ego knows no bounds, its strength within
The earth, sound and steep, its fruits the soul entice
the taste of spice great! to every slice a price
The eyes rain and the mouth would savour its pain
when dry is your land, sow no seed, reap no grain
Valiant steps fear no edge nor the burn of sands
wish die for the glory of walking God's Lands
Specks of dust make souls blind can turn lives to dust
just a spark of deep Faith heralds paths to trust
Ascend and...
