Waiting for Clarity
Time will lift the eyes
above the clouds.
Vapors glaze over the lenses.
Blink, and crystals set in the corner of the lids.
It's hard to see through the clouds
what your sun will look like.
If you decide to grab a sun from behind the visor of the clouds,
you might catch a satellite
and be tossed on a circular flight in low orbit
'round, 'round the place to which you had fallen before.
But enough of earth and the feelings you felt.
You've made it far as the clouds.

old wood
where does
yesterday
go
when it
is all over,
when it
prepares
to die,
to disappear
in that
last midnight
second,
one breath
away,
i cannot
walk among
the trees
while
the hours
are being
cut down,
stacked
and burned
like
old wood.

Embracing Self-Love: A Journey of Power and Peace
In the virtual world, I've found my retreat,
Building New Orleans, a dream complete.
Hours spent crafting, letting my spirit mend,
In this digital haven, my heart can truly ascend.
When, my heart was cast away, my muse gone astray,
I questioned myself, why unlovable, did I sway?
But I've discovered a truth, bold and profound,
I am lovable, with self-love, I'm truly unbound.
They said, "You're too much," a familiar refrain,
Yet, it's their limitations, their loss, their disdain.
For I've embraced self-love, a powerful...

A Kaleidoscope of Shadows
Written into a program
Codes broken and others concealed
Recover my soul from the void
Staring at a blank screen
Mind canvas to varied colors of fractured imagination
Fine tune the frequency and speak to me again
What’s left to say
What do I know that I need to hear
Figuring out new ways to speak clever words and chisel my voice into legacy
When every letter is just a silent long to be heard
Losing lives to the empty promise of life savings
Corporate materialism dealers lord providence over money glutton hands
We’re all...

>¡* >¡* >¡* dreaming
All that we see or seem is but a dream
within a dream.”―Edgar Allan Poe
mine are not nighttime pillow dreams
that are, at daybreak, fled;
they come forth, bursting at the seams,
when slumberfest is dead.
my eyes are open widest, when
i gaze upon the face
of destinations far from men

Fool’s Gold
Caught in a cycle
Routine conditioning to survive
When the cost of living feels like dying
Searching for a purpose beyond just barely getting by
A death grip on life
Every breath slips away
Social status updates
Compromised by the god made of approval
Adapt to the times or die with conviction
I’d rather fall on the sword than worship at the idol of my own well being
Slave labor in the land of the illusion of the free
Taxing our efforts, financing the overseers of societies captivity
Law givers of fluctuating mortality
Like an...

Cultivators Rule This Place
I want to live
To walk along your streets as if a beggar
No story of upcoming ventures
No past to endlessly endeavor
Provide for those who will not pay a Thing back
I walk this place with change in pockets
Blessings to spread if I can
I have sought not
I ask for not
All I want
Has been provided
And as I sit
In sanctuary
Watching nearby
As peace is divided
I help my neighbor
Living in close quarters
Generations under one roof
The elderly
Wanting for healthy
Days only...

Dream Lights
It’s dark out tonight
The stars are closed
But I’ve got dream lights
Illuminating me
It’s how I was made
Pep in my step
Walking in tune on
Sidewalks or blacktops
To the sound of
My soul’s whistle
Following the instincts
Of my mind’s missile
Navigating myself
Towards the ceiling of my
Brain’s right hemisphere
Moving the bulbs around
Careful not to shatter
My tunnel vision
Filled with dream lights
Never nervous when they
Try to flicker
Because I’ll remember ...

Empty Promises and Loaded Threats
At the center of it all
One storm after another
When every peak is a valley to a higher mountain
I climb but fail to appreciate the view
When I get so forward minded I don’t stop to take it in
I can’t catch my breath for trying to afford the air to my lungs
When life feels like a series of chains to be broken
Disenchanting the illusion of former days of innocence
When we’re born fallen and prone to reinvent the same gravity
Learning to defy the nature of a flesh that craves its own depravity
The lifeline of our sins is the...

Covert Epidemics
Sell me the next fear
Sell me the premeditated solution
Fish lines baited with sure bets
You’ve got the hook
You stack the odds
Dealing in threats
Marketing men for gods
There’s no such thing as irrational fears
In a world where science fiction is tomorrows forecast
Work out the tragedy in your favor
Political marionettes are pulling the strings
Set the stage
Make the world dance to the rhythm of the media
Speak the same truth and the same lie with the same words
The end is near as it’s always been...

Resolving The Dissonance
Quoting from the script of well versed intentions
Divided by desires of hope against a lethal enthrall
Whether it’s the cost of self sacrifice or love lost in the throes of it all
Gripped of vices that pull us apart
When the mind is compromised and I’m breached at the heart
We’ve scars and traumas that predate our vows
Forging mistakes in modern moments of weakness
Am I faking better till I believe what I see
When in truth the mirror seems at times to reflect two different sides of me
Who is the imposter within the...

The Hastings Roar
Hear the roar
As honourable
As a lioness
With the same finesse
So fine
As empty shadows fall
From dusty walls
Of forgotten heroines
Obscured by those
That censored the books
That dug in the hooks
Of control
Yet the sweet song
Of equality lingers on
Poised, and poignant
As we
The women of Hastings
Adore the roar
Of equality
And being alive
As we thrive
With pride
Working together
Within our hive
