Phantom Self
Did it take place all at once?
Or gradually did I digress to such an existence
Who is the “I” that I refer to as myself
When I’m lost for knowing who I am
Waking up resigned to a life of involuntary becoming
Or so it would seem
Desires creep in like snakes through whispers
I feel imposter to myself and yet self feels just as fraudulent
When the concept of how I define self is an anchor to ideal
Yet what is ideal but illusion apart from something concrete
Is it safe to talk to myself when I’m told not to talk to strangers? ...

Searching For The Softness Of My Indigo Moon
I am trying to find the enlighten path back to my Indigo moon
I have jumped over the stars, and stole the witch’s broken broom
Exposed the beckon of her dim-witted darkness, no great deeds to harvest in flight
All that was there, was a burned out black candle starving for spiritual light
Past the stars
I have traveled to kiss Orion's Belt, my universal groom, talked with Venus, and consoled Jupiter and Mars
The four elements of nature entwined in the essence of me
I am the universal language for all to see ...

Change or Loss?
Have I changed?
I've come from from hiding and blending in, to trying to be noticed and admired for what I do.
From silence to the bones, to spoken actions even tho silence always latches on.
I've come from indifferent and cold, to being taken on a midnight ride by my emotions.
Inactive and questioning, to active and not thinking too much.
I've come from being socially shy and attaching to quick, to practicing Non-Attachment with whoever I meet, while still connecting.
Caring and willing to change the world, to change and be better...

Garden of the Vestal Virgins
Six Vestal Virgins,
Dressed in diaphanous white,
Skin like that of porcelains,
From their lips each, comes a whisper of insight,
A delicate breath of purity,
From an untainted garden
An echo of piety,
From the closed flowers of heaven,
That seek no pollen,
Amongst the untrimmed landscape,
Lest they be common and forgotten,
Over their shoulders, their long hair does drape.
Priestess One, with tresses of coily, golden blonde,
Sustained by the logical mind's turning gears,
Priestess Two, with straight tresses of crimson,...

I See You
It's hard
so very hard these days
every single day I work my ass off
trying not to be an ass
I bite my tongue
holding back words
hoping my thoughts are never heard
hiding the anger in my heart
passing off insults like they're fine art
this is not the way
to make the world pay
anger breeding more anger
jealousy, envy, and greed
I want to be noticed
I...

when I'm around her,
Hello again,
I realize it's been a hot minute since I've posted something. But, whoever you are, thanks for reading this anyway.
This post is about considering the possibility that in addition to liking guys, I might also fancy girls. If you feel uncomfortable in reading it, then I suggest you leave now. There is no lewd imagery in here though, if that's what turns you off.
The main takeaway that I'd like someone to see from this is that, I never chose to feel this way. I've felt somewhat an attraction to girls (and their bodies) for years but, in terms of...

Revelations and Social Bombs
I'm confused. I'm very confused. I'm not really sure what is going on. You think you know what I'm thinking, what I'm feeling, what I'm doing but how can you know if I don't even know.
I'm neither nervous nor excited. Having been both at a point and so anxious that I feel like I'm going to explode in the past I should know if I'm there and feeling neither of those at this point in my life has me confused because I know I'm not happy now. Simply unaffected.
I feel like an animal that is seeing my reflection for the first time. My reflection shows that I don't care. I have run...

DIARY OF A POET WITH BLACK HEART (Untitled 2)
Do you believe in God?
Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in us?
Do you believe we can hold hand in one accord?
Black and white, the rich and the filth, english spanish, muslim Jews and the ireligious
Do you believe in a unifying peaceful world?
Okay, let me switch thoughts
Do you believe in destiny?
If I say I don't believe in anything, would you label me an enemy
Do you believe we're slave in the face of our Lord?
So I don't have a say in things that comes
Oh, guess that makes me a bot
No, it does not?
Then What! ...

inside outside the mind(one's self, one's surroundings(
solid, liquid, gas; science with the math; the sky, the fog, the rain, the grass; boxed in, stiff, detached.... one's feet contact the path-marked each step past, like summer heat to concrete fast-more or less hurting bad
society perceived by me, like 90 degrees plus hot flash attacks.... that never cease to last....
one has acknowledged this and that.... observing different paths....like spray paint in cans-graffitte tags, requires masks.... ...

Medicated But Not Obliterated
What would you say if you knew
that thirty-two years of pain killers didn't leave me addicted
or thirty-four medications a day don't leave me numb
Not all psychiatric, but some
How would you react if you knew that
those thirty-eight medical conditions sound like a
Guinness world record but isn't
and that narcolepsy is as debilitating as it gets
that it's more than being tired and it robs me of precious time
What would you say when you saw me walk
but were told that my back is deteriorating
even though it...
