Words And Things
Who are you to criticize
What people say
The words they speak
Are the words they use
And the things they do
Are what they choose
Who are you to rush to judge
When you make mistakes too
People aren't perfect
And neither are you
Take it easy and breathe
Let other people be
What people say
The words they speak
Are the words they use
And the things they do
Are what they choose
Who are you to rush to judge
When you make mistakes too
People aren't perfect
And neither are you
Take it easy and breathe
Let other people be

The Perfect Poem
Ah, the perfect poem.
Does it occur when you are sufficiently stoned?
Or when the agony begins to bloat?
Or when in cherry blood, joy floats?
Lies eloquently disguise truths.
Truth promenades as lies.
Poetic words speak to the roots that keep us alive.
Should it provoke intricate questions of the soul?
As landmines of resonance fill our holes.

the mirage of blackbirds
in alterations you hum,
escalating then reverberating a tone
that only I can hear in the gossamer twilight
in the quiet times before my midnight storms
and my brittle bones ache
I dare not yet I do see you burning with intensity as you toil
picking words from the universes
harvesting the souls of them
and then with quill to parchment
arrange their grace so the angels may speak again
uttering in my ears knowledge garnered from the winds
speaking the ancient language of deep, black space
bending time you entered my...

Thee Madd Poetist
not unlike thee madd scientist
can be found painting raw amethyst
scattering verb like skilled ventriloquists
seeing the world in rays of ultraviolet
pushing the limits, the antagonist
is ever questioning if we exist
seeking purity as a naturalist
and blending words as an alchemist
that form thoughts of a nonconformist
wondering if we can really coexist
in a world ran by violent anarchists
afterall, we’re all just boring tourists
seeking the monuments of the quest
so don’t think of me as a terrorist
for I am not a published...

Women Ask Men to Scoot Over
Usually it's in bed
Reluctantly of course we move
Often we'd like to stay where we are
Men never use the word SCOOT
That's a female word all the way
I read this to her
She asks me what I'm trying to prove
I tell her I don't like the SCOOT word
How come she asks
I tell her that she's more fun close by
She's quiet for a moment
Then tells me to SCOOT
Reluctantly of course we move
Often we'd like to stay where we are
Men never use the word SCOOT
That's a female word all the way
I read this to her
She asks me what I'm trying to prove
I tell her I don't like the SCOOT word
How come she asks
I tell her that she's more fun close by
She's quiet for a moment
Then tells me to SCOOT

Finds solace
Who is unable to swing wide the door,
Finds solace by the window's perch,
The door to reality, firmly locked,
Encased within the shackles of sadness.
Every attempt to unlock it brings pain,
A searing ache of disappointment and parting,
Thus, I chose to take a leap of faith,
Through the window of letters, I soared. ...

The door to reality, firmly locked,
Encased within the shackles of sadness.
Every attempt to unlock it brings pain,
A searing ache of disappointment and parting,

Through the window of letters, I soared. ...

The Written Words
The Written Words
with malice
destroy the spirit
destroy love, erode victory
sending some to spiral
into the deepest darkness
words can stir up
hatred and violence
resulting in genocides
with love
it strengthens a union
cheer up the depressed
save lives
bolster faith
weave beauty in tales
bear the next generation
never underestimate words
spoken or written
Words are Powerful.

He Who Has Control of Words...
He who has control of words can control the universe
Or at least have the masses do his bidding
He who has control of words can stir up emotions
Swaying their choices however he sees fitting
There have been those who understood the power of words
Throughout history many have been great orators
Some have taken to help out and change the world
While others sought more power to become dictators
Yet if those who know words but don’t know their meaning
They will raise false hopes in hollowed out souls
And the consequences of the words...
Or at least have the masses do his bidding
He who has control of words can stir up emotions
Swaying their choices however he sees fitting
There have been those who understood the power of words
Throughout history many have been great orators
Some have taken to help out and change the world
While others sought more power to become dictators
Yet if those who know words but don’t know their meaning
They will raise false hopes in hollowed out souls
And the consequences of the words...

Ephah
It's late
I want to write
I don't want to read
nor scry
I don't want to design
consumeristic graphics
I simply want words
to emerge as the Moon
from behind clouds
illuminating the field
while I, as Ruth, glean
what's left behind
before threshing
the miniscule amount
into an ephah of poem
to carry home
~

Never Say Never
Tomorrow is dead we live
day by day hoping the
machines don't take
over the world and
bring us all to:
Judgement Day
We need to fight
our broken system
to keep us safe
so that Judgement Day
never comes:
Keep on fighting
To create a better
World for us all
So that the whole
World Won't End
day by day hoping the
machines don't take
over the world and
bring us all to:
Judgement Day
We need to fight
our broken system
to keep us safe
so that Judgement Day
never comes:
Keep on fighting
To create a better
World for us all
So that the whole
World Won't End

The Frenchies Seek Him Everywhere!
Modern conversation can be a fright
with all those pistols on rustic hips.
The savages are ready for a fight
If you're reckless with the use of your lips.
Barbarous dolts may think I'm perversed
should I savor some silver-tongued love.
Yet fancy, glad, must be warded and nursed;
I fear poltroonery gave it a shove.
Then the internet beat it down more
and told it to get a haircut and job.
But some seek fancy as never before...
terse chafed by snob or rude slob;
They seek it there; they seek it...
with all those pistols on rustic hips.
The savages are ready for a fight
If you're reckless with the use of your lips.
Barbarous dolts may think I'm perversed
should I savor some silver-tongued love.
Yet fancy, glad, must be warded and nursed;
I fear poltroonery gave it a shove.
Then the internet beat it down more
and told it to get a haircut and job.
But some seek fancy as never before...
terse chafed by snob or rude slob;
They seek it there; they seek it...

Emo-tion
Your many shades of emo
tickle my ego
tangle with my id,
make me feel known
and shown
that my deep thoughts
are not mine alone,
but expressions
of an essence
shared among equals
uniquely
…universal
Let’s work towards reversal
of the hate
that separates
let’s make waves
of misbehave-your
scandalous kindness
like-mindedness
expanding into blindness
of unity
Give me your authenticity
no duplicity
