When Silence Falls
So dark you can’t
text your own hand
in front of your face
Will you remember
how to use
your silence
as power?
Freedom to speak
is the same as
freedom of silence
The negative spaces
amplify meaning
and purpose
So use everything
in it’s time and place
including the deafening
violence of silence
Rushing over
the roaring demands
filling everything
with meaningful
emptiness
powering the
extinction burst
of our enemies
text your own hand
in front of your face
Will you remember
how to use
your silence
as power?
Freedom to speak
is the same as
freedom of silence
The negative spaces
amplify meaning
and purpose
So use everything
in it’s time and place
including the deafening
violence of silence
Rushing over
the roaring demands
filling everything
with meaningful
emptiness
powering the
extinction burst
of our enemies

FROM THIS MOUND OF CLAY
As life sometimes chisels away at the granite stone of my outer shell, chiseling away at the very core of my being human with feelings, and emotions and thoughts. Yet even as it chisels and digs into the mere, existence of my mind and heart and soul grabbing and physically, pulling at the skeleton of my bones that once were covered by the skin of my flesh. I still try to push on even with the tears from my eyes, and the broken fragments of bits and pieces, broken like shattered glass. Leaving behind inescapable thoughts that sometimes, flows through the deepness swirling within my soul...

answer to a puzzle
neatly would they fit
all the pieces totaling the sum
yet fitting the missing of some.
constantly twisting and turning
each formulating the mismatched
the reciprocal in tune with what it lacks.
destine is the path,
a journey not without personal wrath.
peace by peace
lays the border
to place with such craft
puzzling is the center
meandering as if to need life's raft.
all the pieces totaling the sum

constantly twisting and turning

Play Around (With You)
I love to play
around with you
you're the best
things I've ever heard
Make no mistake
about it-
I'm all about
the words
around with you
you're the best
things I've ever heard
Make no mistake
about it-
I'm all about
the words

An history era.
Long before the
Legacy left us
With with words
Of wood and
Rain
It was rather
A graft
Of pain
Undying
In the day
Of course my ebb
In the city fill and full
Of pain.In learst of
Kurtis hay.
Where the ignorantia
Incessurus
Autonomy saucus.
