Typical Saturday Night
Bloodshot skies acting like a backdrop
Trees sway amongst a whispering wind
Redemption glows within the moonlight
While destruction lies around the bend
Seductive rivers carry manipulated beasts
Who bring war to those considered different
Hatred fuels these sinful calloused hearts
By using influence to seduce the innocent
Negative energy hidden behind a backbeat
Festering on the need of further manipulation
Words revealing truth always fall on deaf ears
Because no one seems to read the situation

To you with love
I love you
I have no guide to help me
Nothing to protect me from your storm
I felt like an idiot sitting in your car
Your face was so beautiful
I didn't think I can love anyone
I love you
Wouldn't it be great if you would love me
Maybe you would even trust me
I need you
Because life is not enough
I haven't seen you in over a year
It all came back
With the force of depression
I still felt the same
I have been thinking of you all day
I feel as though I have nothing
I am alone on the planet ...
I have no guide to help me
Nothing to protect me from your storm
I felt like an idiot sitting in your car
Your face was so beautiful
I didn't think I can love anyone
I love you
Wouldn't it be great if you would love me
Maybe you would even trust me
I need you
Because life is not enough
I haven't seen you in over a year
It all came back
With the force of depression
I still felt the same
I have been thinking of you all day
I feel as though I have nothing
I am alone on the planet ...

Go
Which direction should you go?
Your inner compass spins with no destination
Four walls
No key
No door
Silence
It's too loud.
Too audible
Go
Take a step.
Lead
Don’t follow
You are the arrow
Create the destination
At the end
A new beginning
Go!
Your inner compass spins with no destination
Four walls
No key
No door
Silence
It's too loud.
Too audible
Go
Take a step.
Lead
Don’t follow
You are the arrow
Create the destination
At the end
A new beginning
Go!

APRIL FOOL'S DAY, EVERY DAY
DUPPING ISN'T COOL
Most of us have heard this
ancient proverb:
"Fool rush in where angels
fear to thread."
My Guru taught me that
if you're not on guard to the
wiles, tricks, and deceptions
of others, every day will be
April's Fool DAY.
P.T. Barnum, the circus
tycoon operated on the theory
that a "sucker is born every minute."
Making a fool out of a person
can start as a deliberate behavior
or it can drift into one before it is realized.
When you choose to make a fool
out of someone, you have made ...

inappropriate behavior
acute, spin the feeling
a metaphor bleeding, without ceasing
internal strife appears as a dragon
impossible he's wild and can't be tamed
it is your very own spirit
tugging on the chains that bind you
the societal norm is very strange to me
why cancel culture
it's one of the most beautiful aspects of us
sharing of culture makes more sense
then there is no place to express our anger
if you get angry you're crazy
that is inappropriate behavior
and don't buy that red car you wanted
let's all drive white ones
...

GOING AGAINST THE GRAIN
As I raise upon another day in this world 🌍 of chaos and drama. I am awakening up on this day to learn, that the Democrats, are playing the blame game. 😞 Trying to figure out who's at fault??🤨 FOR this disaster of there Hope, of still being in charge, as the Democrat party. Yet all your have to do is look at thyself, for sure it's annoying but yet look at the situations. THAT you all have created not really caring, knowing whatever we do comes with repercussion and consequences.. 😞 YET you still believe that you got it in the 💰 💰 💰 bags...

Strong Stars
In the startling silence of black night.
The ancient stars sweetly whine
with the weight of countless wishes.
Secret desires succeed in shine,
burning with the chance for fruition.
Of those that longed with daily battle cries.
To end torments that the sun brightly denied.
And when the day arrives wearing heaven's blue.
Never forget, strength has a voice too.
Star beaming out of you.
The ancient stars sweetly whine
with the weight of countless wishes.
Secret desires succeed in shine,
burning with the chance for fruition.
Of those that longed with daily battle cries.
To end torments that the sun brightly denied.
And when the day arrives wearing heaven's blue.
Never forget, strength has a voice too.
Star beaming out of you.

Gratitude
So you want it real. . .as in honesty—
the kind that rattles your spirit
as a straight-up shot of whiskey,
no rocks or fruity drinks;
well, okay. . .
mine is gratitude
because it's 100 proof, real
honest and true—
it's also handmade
from my own copper still
See, at my age, I know
what conflicts are
regardless of circumstance—
mere opportunities to grow
regardless of resolution
They propel the vibration
of our evolution toward Unity
while...

Mistake
no gate jeeper
in slips the grim reaper
just strip me bare
cut me without a care
in this mortuary joint
do you finally get the point
no longer wish to face the day
let this all fade away
jumping from the boat
with a lnife at my throat
there is little emotion
as i'm gathered by the ocean
in my mind i'm running up a hill
cause if i stand still
these dark rhoughts overtake
leaving me to make another suicide mistake
in slips the grim reaper
just strip me bare
cut me without a care
in this mortuary joint
do you finally get the point
no longer wish to face the day
let this all fade away
jumping from the boat
with a lnife at my throat
there is little emotion
as i'm gathered by the ocean
in my mind i'm running up a hill
cause if i stand still
these dark rhoughts overtake
leaving me to make another suicide mistake

American Idle
Vote now for your favorite performer!
Or else your ballot will go up in smoke
Because the latter unlike the former
Is a serious offense and not a joke
Some like to stoke flames of hate
Then pretend and look the other way
But all this useless idling just creates
More mayhem to everyone’s dismay
Still many strive to move forward
With growth, progress, and common goals
While other’s stagger with vile words
Delusional and completely out of control
Many of us can sense a wind of change
We feel hope and...

Accolade
It's hard to tell just what the years will do
and how or why we will be led astray
into a place where nothing makes our day
more than routine melancholy anew.
Youth does nothing so well
as to get its nose out of joint,
and to keep it there...
where no humility will check it.
Old age be praised.
and how or why we will be led astray
into a place where nothing makes our day
more than routine melancholy anew.
Youth does nothing so well

where no humility will check it.

too much room
I feel like a pariah
they just want to give me time
but the more space they give me
...the bigger it feels
& I'm adrift
I just lost my best friend
& everything hurts
I'm on edge
reading more...less...into what's said
wishing I had a manual
a guide
anything to provide some answers
but these grey lands surrounding me
offer only silence
& more questions
a bunch of faces unwilling to turn my way
eyes blinded to my existence
it only makes the loss all the more noticeable
the void no longer...
