The Weight of Words
Words are a net cast into the sea,
dragging bright-scaled truths to light.
Yet the sea itself slips through,
its weightless immensity untamed,
like a dream forgotten upon waking.
A leaf, whole in its green perfection,
unbroken by wind or insect,
whispers of the storm-torn tree
it fell from—a quiet proof of ruin.
Here, even beauty bears the bruise of loss.
Each vowel carries a pulse,
a song strung from the open throat:
“A” sprawls in sunlight,
“O” mourns in its round, aching grief.
Consonants...
dragging bright-scaled truths to light.
Yet the sea itself slips through,
its weightless immensity untamed,
like a dream forgotten upon waking.
A leaf, whole in its green perfection,
unbroken by wind or insect,
whispers of the storm-torn tree
it fell from—a quiet proof of ruin.
Here, even beauty bears the bruise of loss.
Each vowel carries a pulse,
a song strung from the open throat:
“A” sprawls in sunlight,
“O” mourns in its round, aching grief.
Consonants...

Outside of The Window
Here I am just looking out the window of my space, and wondering how did I get here to find this moment.. TO just analyze the deepness of the quietness of sounds, of nature through the 🪟 pane of the window. For sure as I look as far as my own eyes could see 👁️👁️. I appreciate the realness and opportunity to releaseing, that feeling of bliss and harmony. Away from the negativity and drama, and confusion and madness and chaos. 🤨 That has changed the atmosphere of life, and dreams and endless views of possibilities. For sure it's here and now, I can...

pis- ant (noun)
If you know any inconsequential, irrelevant, or worthless people in your life who are irritating and self-centered, call them a Pissant!
I know I do.
Sentence:
Bobby was always bragging and being a real pisant to Cindy. Cindy had enough and punched that pisant in the mouth.

a fable
A fable
I flew high, but it was hot, my wings were tired
when spotting a well sat on the rim of the well
saw my reflection; yes, I was beautiful, but
noticed a dark shadow behind me
pushing me into the well and looking up
Evil had gone
clawed myself to the top, the Evil sat by the fireside
my talons scratched its eyes out
Evil ran outside, cooling his dead eyes in falling
I'm a silky bird with golden feathers
The evil scream bore man's suffering
Wisdom lost there was a land that had golden sand
lemon trees and jubilant...

Too much, not enough ?
When to say too much
When to say not enough
I always say too much
Except when I want to say
EVEN MORE
Like right now

Busy At Heists!
The Cat Holic, was addicted to cats
The Protest Ant
Was anti Cat Holics
The Cat Holics
Considered that the Protest Ants
Were pants
And reciprocated
Their mutual dislike
Meanwhile...
Bank robbers, and the like
Didn't like either the Cat Holics
Nor the Protest Ants
But didn't have time for such shenanigans
As they were busy At Heists

Voices
There are
Voices I miss:
Sir Christopher Lee;
Sean Connery;
Paul Harvey;
Anthony Bourdain;
and
James Earl Jones;
Voices grander than
This meager span,
And yet whispered
“You’re not alone”

Ink Think
Upon purchasing a pack of ten pens
As yet unused
I began wondering
What i'd write with these ink spillers
As the fluid, stains the paper
Letters knitted
And oft times knotted
Forged together
As my thoughts are transferred
Down my arm
Into my fingers holding the pen
Containing the ink
That now spills
Onto the virgin vellum
As a myriad of words
Perform a ballet, across the page
Trippingly
cascading
Into a wild dance
Of pirouetting wonder

BRAIN DEAD
As this election cycle of 2024 is in full swing of more of the same olde lies. THAT has been food spread on a slice of bread. 🍞 With no meat or no sauce of more of the same, false promises between two slices of bread. 🍞 Still With no truth just more lies, and made and up stories of insanity with propaganda. Yet I still wonder, how many of your still believe that they have, your best interest in mind. IT'S getting to the point of how much more of the childish mind games. 🎮 WE as the real American citizens have to tolerate before. WE are truly replace by the maggots that...
