Between the Warrior and the Witch
another trip around the sun
my yearly reckoning beckons
groaning, heavy
with unanswered questions,
swirling like distant galaxies
it’s past time to explore
did I love without conditions?
my soul shouts, yes!
but the bodies stacked
out back by the shed
of my selfishness
would speak otherwise
if they could still speak at all
my mother used to say
the heart wants what it wants
but I’m guessing she didn’t know
she’d given birth
to a black hole
did I accept love given to me? ...

Drink it up
Only silence and sunshine surrounds,
I try to mimic the mellowness
found naturally all around
but rarely embraced in
this inner space..
I resort to
shameless, aimless
pleasure and stimulation
regularly
plaguing the imagination,
signaling sudden stagnation
but the fire stays fueled
and the energy ensues
especially in the presence
of pleasant views
seducing souls
including those
whose anger and fear have fused
in blood and bone,
those who feel forever alone,
those who were never shown ...

JUST ME
This morning I unwrapped my foot
as if it were a gift in expensive paper.
I was careful and excited
to see what had been hidden.
Turns out nobody wants to see
the pictures of the aftermath
of me spilling boiling water
on my right foot last night.
I keep trying to build a tribe
of excitement around it,
asking in text messages,
doesn’t anyone want to see
the blisters and discoloration?
It’s crazy stuff. Just me? Okay.

Limbo.
I was born tomorrow but yesterday I died.
My life is never ending yet I never find the time.
My days are full of moments passing by before my eyes.
How I long to stand and hold them, wonder how I have survived.
My future may have happened but my past has yet to be.
Somewhere in the middle where I wonder aimlessly.
Looking for the answers life has hidden far from me.
The purpose of my being will remain a mystery.
Somewhere in the chaos is a place for me to be.

These Are The Days
These are the days
When our faith is tried
When our hopes and dreams seem to fade away
It’s the unending journey
Of life lessons as a guide
When we return to our cores beliefs and pray
These are the days
When we look to the stars
With the belief something out there will come along
Humanity is at the fine line
Between peace and war
But it’s when we must learn to be resilient and strong
These are the days
When the spirit is tested
When our imagination lets us travel to any place
A time for reflection but...

A fragment of beautiful in it all
she was
just one long
non fictional
story
with an
ending that
finally healed
itself

Sitting serene
in the spring heat..
clinging to the breeze
blowing
so briefly..
but it relieves me momentarily
as the rays disappear
'neath calm clouds
coloring the sky..
The atmosphere seems hellish
but still I relish
in the beauty, best I can..
and bountiful scenes
spread widely and shared,
declared divine and especially sacred
by those who're aware enough
to see through
the minds murkiness,
the malarkey and drama
the darkness and traumas..
Eternal nakedness,
energy bare ...

I wandered and found
a revolving addiction

A whom I?
I struggle to identify with myself
I struggle to identify anything else
We live in the same town but I don't know you
You live on my home block but I haven't been shown you
I get real down sometimes because
I hang up and put on my faces
Without reason and without cause
Upsettingly abruptly in certain cases
I struggle to identify anything else
We live in the same town but I don't know you
You live on my home block but I haven't been shown you
I get real down sometimes because
I hang up and put on my faces
Without reason and without cause
Upsettingly abruptly in certain cases

Trip through (revised)
Trip through
high or low,
stop, go,
fast or slow,
just have no fear..
Trip trip
through the land of dreamscapes,
leave behind
any civilized disguises
wrecked by reckless routines,
the cosmos laughing
at every game we play..
The galactic stream
flows and shows it's magic,
people you
see before you stand,
know and don't believe
reality is what it appears to be,
only choices given
are life and death
but don't lose your breath
and trip through
high or low,
stop, go, ...
high or low,
stop, go,
fast or slow,
just have no fear..

Eternal dancer (revised)
Oh let the sun sink deep within our soul,
guide us all
through this dream..
We are the watchers
of all time and space,
observing what is here,
to realize the divine
dances behind our eyes
and just beyond the skyline..
We talk of love but
still hate and separate
as our dimension devolves
and moves on..
Speak in silence from within
as the soul
and awareness assumes control..
No words to be heard
in the space and state of
Elysian..
All that I see
fades away,
