(Un)deniable
unrestrained lover
uncondionally burning

“I don’t know where to go if I win on
the lottery, but one thing is sure, I can afford to go there.”
He looked at his sentence; it didn’t sound the right way
the words were laboured it didn’t light up the paper
in an invitation to write more
Everything had been difficult lately; words slipped from
his mind before he could catch them.
Like finding your way to the railway station in an unknown
town a foggy day; when screams are muffled and no one
around except bewildered dogs.

boldness in the hereafter
i.
the weight
left behind
was dense
almost sticky
as it hung in air
adhering him
everywhere
ii.
Freedom
is kaleidoscopic
i grow my power
stronger
bit by bit
reinforcing
consequences
of new choices
anytime
anyplace
with anyone
anywhere
reborn,
with that unrepentant
nature
i thought died
when he did.
iii.
Reaching out,
grasping
tightly
with both hands ...

Affirm(ative)
Filled with acceptance
leaving behind dissonance
a new love.....is born
.
.
.
Yesterday's ashes
become lessons hard learned
wise are the willing
.
.
.
Forgiveness heals deep
yet scars are indelible
keeping us honest
.
.
.
Found pride is magic
which I'll never feel bad for
... and neither will God

What A Difference A Day Makes.
Today
I let
words
create doubt
.
.
.
.
tomorrow,
I'll shine
in my truth.

camping without a sewer hookup
Violent urges
Match my dour dirges
The night is everlasting
This curse still casting.
Sour stomach bile
Builds the sick guile
As I roll my eyes
In time to your soft lies.
Full of shit and ready to burst
This amount of force usually hurts,
The doctor said go home
But I’ll stay where I roam;
My thoughts nauseated
With the content created.
A concentrated dosage
Of white sage Osage,
Crystals won’t be enough
To save me from the stuff.
Match my dour dirges
The night is everlasting
This curse still casting.
Sour stomach bile
Builds the sick guile
As I roll my eyes
In time to your soft lies.
Full of shit and ready to burst
This amount of force usually hurts,
The doctor said go home
But I’ll stay where I roam;
My thoughts nauseated
With the content created.
A concentrated dosage
Of white sage Osage,
Crystals won’t be enough
To save me from the stuff.

Quiet Essences Of
Under cool blanketed darkness
each twinkle wished upon, above
dire calls assuredly silent ...in their beckoning
You are there
Wherever the skies turn rusty pink,
dew slowly melting upon grassy earth
hushed truth finds way made of whispers
You are there
Whimpering newborn cries
a fawn shaking, celebrating pure life
tenderly warmed by it's mother's breast
You are there
When winged nightingale's sing-song
echoing their musical enchantments
rousing...
each twinkle wished upon, above
dire calls assuredly silent ...in their beckoning
You are there
Wherever the skies turn rusty pink,
dew slowly melting upon grassy earth
hushed truth finds way made of whispers
You are there
Whimpering newborn cries
a fawn shaking, celebrating pure life
tenderly warmed by it's mother's breast
You are there
When winged nightingale's sing-song
echoing their musical enchantments
rousing...

if my aloneness wrote, too
missing you
sinks it's teeth in
gnawing
dense skull & bone
words disappear
off the page
voids regularize
forming stark barren wastelands
missing stars
hush their scars
time randomly moves fast-forward
or is it numbed, too
just standing perfectly still?
soundless
frozen and ungracious
force-chosen
in this soundproof stasis
quietude tightens
it reigns
isolation
deafening agony
silently repeats
becoming soundtrack
