Morning Rituals
I lie awake
about ten minutes before the first alarm goes off
thinking about what I’m going to do that day
before I force myself to put on my running shoes
and go into the darkness
after an hour
or about when Clockwork Angels is coming to a close
the feeling of accomplishment Rushes through me
I notice I’m getting slower
and the distances are shorter
but I’m OK with it
after breakfast
after doing the dishes
I down my hot cup of coffee
(with my blood pressure meds)
but my body temperature goes up again ...

Reflection that unmade me
I was eleven when the ground beneath me cracked.
When truth spilled out of her mouth,
like it wasn’t a bomb,
wrapped in casual conversation.
I was old enough to feel the tremble,
when truth finally speaks.
It wasn’t a sit-down,
wasn’t gentle.
It came in a slip of the tongue.
A careless comment,
meant to hush my parents,
not to shatter me.
But just like that,
My world split down the middle,
between what I thought I knew,
and what had always been hidden.
I wasn’t who I thought I was.

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

inner integration
I decided to make peace
with whatever we are doing here
we were given this life
we have to go through it
its all about feelings
so let's feel
with all we know
let's make peace
forgive, let go
some time is remaining
spend it as good as it gets
we are different but we are all the same
we are the Self
we can feel one and whole
that must be our purpose
with whatever we are doing here
we were given this life
we have to go through it
its all about feelings
so let's feel
with all we know
let's make peace
forgive, let go
some time is remaining
spend it as good as it gets
we are different but we are all the same
we are the Self
we can feel one and whole
that must be our purpose

Eostre 2025
wind on the water, ship sailing by
sunlight reflected by sea
with white wispy clouds up in the sky
while relaxing peacefully
beside the ocean, springtime in motion
birds nesting, seagulls and geese
pigeons and crows, ducks swim in rows
spring a sensual feast
all is evolving as Earth keeps revolving
while spiraling through the Deep
challenges challenging problems are solved in
moments awake from asleep
here by the seashore, laplap the mind's roar
is enchanted and fades away
portal and door to become more ...

The Land of Stuck
I moan far too much
about being stuck.
Stuck in writer’s block.
Stuck in expectations.
Stuck in fear of rejection.
Stuck has become
a mighty comfortable place,
requiring
nothing.
In the Land of Stuck, I don’t have to
contend with comparison or judgement.
I don’t have to worry about the possibility
of my words having real power.
I don’t have to lose the people
who can’t see me.
I don’t have to get better at my craft,
because it serves no purpose.
Now my Values are getting impatient

Feel more at peace
As another day slowly comes to an end and night shadows the world 🌍 when do you feel more comfortable, in your own personal, quite atmosphere of no time, just empty space. FOR your own thoughts to roam around free, from the negativity and drama and confusion, and madness and chaos even of some people's. 🤔 For sure it's necessary to understand that sometimes, we have to learn to separate, things in our lives in order to THINK. Rational with an focus of understanding, that we all need that moment of peace and tranquility. For sure it could be music 🎶🎵 it could be...

Midnight thoughts
My worst days pass in a haze
I'm always out of phase
Am I the product of an uncaring world
Or one of the reasons
Is my worth reliant on intrinsic value
or am I worth nothing
Is this a false dichotomy
What am I without my mad ramblings
I'm always out of phase
Am I the product of an uncaring world
Or one of the reasons
Is my worth reliant on intrinsic value
or am I worth nothing
Is this a false dichotomy
What am I without my mad ramblings

Drafts of a confession
It's me again the story teller of unspoken words ✍️ Let's dive into the truth about a confession of the deepness, that lingers in the heart and spiritual soul touching, the deepness of your soul and mind. For this precious story will go deeper than deep, into the process of being able to share your silent, whispers of your tears that have been created by the hurt and pain. That goes to the reason, why you wear a mask as a disguise, to hide from preying eyes. 👁️👁️ But yet beneath the surface of your mind thoughts, you wonder how much you need and want...

Accepting My Fate
Here I am as I am in a state of relaxation of meditation, preparing my mind thoughts for another phase, of more testing in my life of cancer. Yet still I'm not giving up yet for this precious element known as life, for sure I am grateful and thankful and blessed, to be able to have a second chance at life. For what ever is the outcome in this space and time ⌚ I remain resilient on a positive level of energy and determination and perseverance. For sure I still believe in my faith and beliefs, that GOD ALMIGHTY is here to guide me upon this Earthly, journey and travel and walk through...

Sun Rise, Sun Set
Sometimes things must be dark so we can see the light
Just like at night, when the stars decorate the sky
And during the day when I’ve dreamt of chasing clouds away
My mind can tend to get lost while time just flies by
But right before the sun sets there is a certain anticipation
An array of colors weaves right before the sun is gone
The light blue gives away to a darker shade for a new view
Until the hues begin to change again right before dawn
I have breathed the cool air and felt the hot afternoon glare
