Wounds
I sometimes
wonder
when you have
a small cut
a wound
if you don't
watch it
take care of it
when it doesn't heal
then you have left
the door wide open
for bugs and viruses
to set up home
to raise a family
to change
the landscape
no matter the consequences
which is you
Could it not be
the same
within ones thinking
Continuously
Immersing ones self
in
entertainment
the trending now
thumbs up
latest craze
where arguments
and debates ...

Neverland Revolts
How did I get here?
From enraptured gazes that only a lover
Underneath a sunset could know,
To stoic expressions facing a dead end happy place.
My speech skips and screeches
Like a ruined cassette
Spitting ribbons of misplaced thoughts.
Things once full of passion and direction
Have escaped me in a surreal night
Of a trailer park nightmare.
Just another cigarette tinged regret
On my ever heavy shoulders.
I want the ecstasy of poetry
on my tongue again,
Tasting Earth's succulent breath
as she kisses...
From enraptured gazes that only a lover
Underneath a sunset could know,
To stoic expressions facing a dead end happy place.
My speech skips and screeches
Like a ruined cassette
Spitting ribbons of misplaced thoughts.
Things once full of passion and direction
Have escaped me in a surreal night
Of a trailer park nightmare.
Just another cigarette tinged regret
On my ever heavy shoulders.
I want the ecstasy of poetry
on my tongue again,
Tasting Earth's succulent breath
as she kisses...

voice from the stronger half
we will bear the cold together; the coldest weather; I'm your only friend forever; all the pain and fear don't measure to the brave I am that lives inside that beating thing you treasure;
I will flashlight through your darkest nights; you ache and cry inside; it'll be alright; I'm your "higherself"; your fight to your flight;
I'm always there holding you together; all the "bullets shot" that put you down, I've nursed and made it better....
I love you even though you want to leave this place;...

Breathe under water
I’ve learnt to breathe
under water
secrets were stronger
than the pressure
I’ve seen the drowned
even with their gills
silence kept me alive
taught me patience
humility wasn’t a choice
it was the way of life
under water
secrets were stronger
than the pressure
I’ve seen the drowned
even with their gills
silence kept me alive
taught me patience
humility wasn’t a choice
it was the way of life

arterial partitioning days, the fairy highways
diverge in bright lucidities of a destiny..
texturally maturing are the bare sun crisp scalps
of an ancient mixed cropped (flori)culture- the
rosaceous jasminous & fragrant pool of petals, in
essential presence of love's divine perfumery spread..
...now, briskly electric are the each metallic garlanding
strands.. those vase as lustrous heaven marriage bunches…
streamline to be the 'one' eternal~ directionally irrigational

A Tribute Reflection on the Message of Inaugural
Poetess Amanda Gorman, Youth Poet-Laureate
true writers
are fighters
whose mitres,
like lighters,
are righters
of wrongs.
the poets
who know it
bestowest
the truest
and newest
of songs
for the heart
torn apart
by the dart
of the tart
counterpart.
their tongues
sympathise
with the sighs
and the cries
that reprise
to chastise
the throngs.

HOPELESS
Hopeless" in this race called life.
Same old shit all day all night.
Sick 'n' tired of all these judgmental pricks.
I tell those same bastards to suck a dick.
Burn this shit to Nothingness.
HOPELESS!!!!!!!!!

How can I call this home when it doesnt feel like it?
Four walls, ceilings and some doors, but something doesnt fit?
So tart it up with paint and stuff, curtains, carpets and rugs...
But its still nowhere as important as love, kisses and hugs...
I dont feel like I belong here, im really not content
Theres just an overwhelming feeling and its one of real contempt...
But anywhere I go Im gonna feel walled in
Theres no escape, no running away, its a feeling from within...
So why is this thing called home making me feel trapped...

Bigger Than Covid-19
This topic can take us from one extreme to the other.
On one hand, we have to work.
On the other hand, we have to stay safe.
We are told to do one thing and hear that what we are told is full of half truths and possible outcomes.
We hear cover up and conspiracy theories.
We see the numbers rising.
We say social distance yet those who are homeless can do nothing of the sort and have had little to no notable infection compared to the inner city and minorities that live in such tight knit quarters.
Kids get it, older people get it, working class get it, the...

Stargate
The chevrons are open, the ancients have spoken
Our spirits have awoken because of treaties that were broken
You were warned about a sleeping bear, yet you kept on poking
Mistaking those bred for war as nothing but tokens
Ancient historic scripts as far back as the original four tribes
But we represent the eight that resulted when the chevrons collide
Mimicking each other, we were similar in the exact same ways
But they entered within our circle limiting our right to say
Our ancient script was deceived by coded...
