Words across the screen

The eyes are… Certain.
Pull back the curtain,
sensuous inspiration -

Proper Digestion
My words often require a proper digestion. They need time to sink in.
Pulling all Nutrients from the parts of the mind that are consuming pollution, stopping the spread of ignorance.
Quickly re-writing the narrative in our head thus re-Wiring the mind.
We’ve now completely changed our body chemistry.
Social experiments no longer change are composition.
Our elements remain pure.
The very content of our being providing us with unlimited resources.

We
You get wet off the poetry
I get high off the response
Herein lies the problem
How am I to stop writing for your approval
When making you feel
Deep things
And emotions,
Sexual thoughts
And devotions
My drug…
Is your growing desire for me
Your wanting
To have me
To be wanted
To be had,
the way the poetry
Explained in vivid detail
And before you know it
We find ourselves
In a predicament
That can only go 1 of 2...

The only deceit
In my spoken words
Is they don't replicate
The voice in my heart
Body
Or soul

WHEN THE COMMITMENT IS REAL
When do you know what you have is special and unique and beautiful, is when we can rediscover who and what we have in our lives, for there's no denying the depth of the heart nor the love. For you can see through the illuminations of the mere darkness, seen through open eyes not through eyes close to the warmth of loving arms. When do you know what they say is true from the heart and soul, cause you feel it emotionally and physically as it pours through your own majestic soul, like liquid strings of gold woven into a tapestry of body and soul. Cause when it comes with no strings attach to the...

Felony Poetry
In the shadowy enclaves
of the city…
Masked poets run free.
Following the whims
of those-thems.
Place to place.
Stopping at points
that cause pause...
Creating havoc…
Like an origami construct
with inter-dimensional
sounds - of tin foil
Crinkled…
Instantaneous
And then… ghost
Nobody knows.
As the flames rise
& purify
The lies in the eyes
of poetry
Cellular soulful solar… Incised
in...
of the city…
Masked poets run free.
Following the whims
of those-thems.
Place to place.
Stopping at points
that cause pause...
Creating havoc…
Like an origami construct

sounds - of tin foil
Crinkled…
Instantaneous
And then… ghost
Nobody knows.

& purify

She is Poetry
Poetry is She
Parallel lines of a prism
Equanimity of thought
Elegantly designed
Soul, body and mind
Heart with one purpose
To be undeniably beautiful

Everything You're Not
Maybe one day you'll realize
You've been so caught up in your own lies
You've forgotten it's all make-believe
Swallowed whole by all that you can see
Maybe one day, you'll stem the tide
But till then, you'll live from the outside
Looking in, you'll see the light of day
It's so close, and yet so far away
All you know, is all that you've been told
And everything you dream, is everywhere you've been
And all you believe in is all you can see
And everything you think about is everything you're not
Maybe one...
You've been so caught up in your own lies
You've forgotten it's all make-believe
Swallowed whole by all that you can see
Maybe one day, you'll stem the tide
But till then, you'll live from the outside
Looking in, you'll see the light of day
It's so close, and yet so far away
All you know, is all that you've been told
And everything you dream, is everywhere you've been
And all you believe in is all you can see
And everything you think about is everything you're not
Maybe one...
