Fixed a squeaky door

Somewhat disappointed

Drifting
Absolute unbroken stillness,
bound forever dreaming.
Caught off guard.
Dimming my light.
Electricity still crackles.
Faintly, but it flickers.
Gravity has let go.
Helix-type drifting.
Intervals of lightyears
journeyed in seconds.
Kinetic energy halts.
Lingering in stardust.
Motionless but alive.
Nebula shields me.
Obscurity brings peace.
Panic momentarily subsides.
Questions get answers.
Renewing my soul.
Starlight invites calm.
Time reveals treasures,
unfolding itself infinitely.
Vision...
bound forever dreaming.
Caught off guard.
Dimming my light.
Electricity still crackles.
Faintly, but it flickers.
Gravity has let go.
Helix-type drifting.
Intervals of lightyears
journeyed in seconds.
Kinetic energy halts.
Lingering in stardust.
Motionless but alive.
Nebula shields me.
Obscurity brings peace.
Panic momentarily subsides.
Questions get answers.
Renewing my soul.
Starlight invites calm.
Time reveals treasures,
unfolding itself infinitely.

universe in my hands
The stars bloomed
as the narrow rivulets streamed across
the terrain of my palms;
forming islands, peninsulas, chains...
whole map of my life
came alive...
The high and low planetary mounts
on my mushy rosy manus
marked my characteristics;
planets, constellation
sun and moon
carved my fate,
once a palmist said...
but unaware that destiny lies
within our own hands
It's the neurons in my brain
and...

No - A Word I Can No Longer Say
I used to be so full of "fuck you"
My heart was passionate,
My mind opinionated.
Boy, you couldn't tell me shit!
The years have gone by,
And I've grown older.
Days turned to decades
Of shutting up and backing down,
Playing by everyone else's rules
Just to get by.
Nights I've spent screaming and blubbering
Into blackness
The only time my voice truly finds me
Crawling back on hands and knees
After hours and hours
Of choking on words unsaid in the daylight.
These days I...

The only time my voice truly finds me
Crawling back on hands and knees
After hours and hours
Of choking on words unsaid in the daylight.

Paradox
do we exist
or it's just a dream...?
when you become 'aware'
of your being,
you'll find yourself
at an intersection of two circles
representing reality and illusion;
the place they smudge
is a mental haze-
misty and mystique,
familiar yet unfamiliar.
a strange realm
where unknown overlaps known.
you can't evaluate your own existence,
you can't define your subsistence.
is our life real,
or a paradox
just like schrödinger's cat ...
or it's just a dream...?

Destination Unknown
I am losing patience
with this giant ball
of tangled twine,
trying to find threads of purpose…
Haven’t I done enough?
I’ve been courageous:
discarded a few bits that didn’t fit,
accepted many losses I didn’t choose.
I’ve worked loose some of the knots,
hoping for clarity,
only to find others still binding me.
Now my fingers are worn
and my courage
exhausted.
What is the point of me?
What do I even want?
I have nothing to offer
but openness.
Tug and take the...

Velvet Knight
I wanted to be a better musician
But my insecurities had me frozen
I wanted to prove to myself that I was just a good
By my fear was making a fool out of myself
So I practiced and practiced and practiced
It got to the point that I could feel each pulse
Each rudiment felt like it was in slow motion
My skill had reached a new height
But still there was more to learn
It was when a group of us wanted to audition
That I again froze
I knew I had it in me
Just maybe
But now I’ll just never know
Instead I picked...

cribnotes of understanding
20 of 30
I'll bare mine...
my revelations of expansion
what I've discovered
so far
bullet points...if you will
though by no means...the full spectrum
~~~
I'm strong enough to handle almost anything
...but I don't have to do it all alone
it's okay to ask for help
~~~
being accepted as I am...is beautiful
..but as is...isn't enough for me
I will always strive for further evolution
~~~
if I tend to all his needs...without seeing to mine ...

Alone
I am alone within the remote regions of my mind.
Safely isolated from the judgmental world
where I’m an introvert. This endless seclusion
for a mortal scribing immortal words
is accompanied intimately by lasting loneliness.

Cold Silver Skin
I spill my guts
Trying to keep to my decorum
But if you want all of it
It’s not a pretty sight…
It’s not a pretty site…
It’s not a pretty write
when I have to fight bold bowled ghosts
From time to time
when they hear my old cold rhymes
Like a dear John letter where
“The past is the past
Now stay the fuck back there”
Guilt is a relentless motherfucker
But as the wounds heal
And you find yourself picking at the scabs
You might need to say it out loud
“Stop it”
Trying to break the habit
And...

But if you want all of it

Native Harmony
Here I am as I am a entity of strength and perseverance, still surviving just trying to take it one day at a time ⌚ For the elders say that we are the chosen ones who were chosen, because of our strength and courage and perseverance. TO lead as an example for the wolf pack through the process of our journeys and travels and walks. THROUGH the forest of life and in the world. 🌎 For sure we can be many things in different ways and forms of existence. For sure we have a real sense of survival instinct, for wanting nothing more and nothing less than what we need to survive. 🐺
