Endless I'll start tomorrows
Dictating the results of your life one decision at a time.
It doesn’t matter what stage you’re at, all that matters is what’s in thy mind.
You make the choice
To raise or lower your voice.
To keep peace or ignore self control, to rejoice in life or claim your defeat.
Anger may flow but don’t let it possess, should it arise just remember your breath.
Sure it’s easier stated than enacted
but it only gets worse the more you invest.
The longer you stay distracted..
What is evolving if not forgetting lame excuses and endless I’ll start...

Mirror of Self-Loath
Restless & irritable...Pains of uncomfortable, underlining new skin of suffocation. Drowning sober of choking. Treading with my head just above the waves of living life...Hardest job, Work load of constant strident drive. Harder when you don't want to try. Never the driver, just a passenger of backseat status. Can't see ahead, just the rear view mirror of backwards flow, filling the shoes I've already tread. Lectures of I told you so, always a fuck up, sights of never right. Now I recall why I jumped & took this flight of astronomical sight. Ennui feelings of listlessness caused by...

The philosophy of clerics — with Adagio
I’ve sampled nocturnal resilience
I’ve slept on speculation; dreamt of what may have settled my shroud
that rich layer of skin
that seeps a sea of gratitude
like a fearless watering of clout
alongshore,
between frayed ends of variance
and the tendrils of substance
Beneath the guttural moans of persistence
from the vendors of eloquence
I’ve lulled my conviction to be sipped like brandy
from perspective’s glass
and poise my spoken lip in ironclad verdict
The philosophy of clerics
in broken ink of the pen's poetic...

WHEN WILL THE WORDS STOP
Just when I thought I have said all that I could say… I find my heart bubbling forth
My mind decided that it has something else to convey
My heart speaks in whispers yet in volume
I am constantly telling a story of my life… a road that never ends seemingly
Love… romance… pain… whatever it takes to pull away
When will the words stop?
It comes to me in the distant days
Hurting within I expressed in thought words born on paper
With the weight of the earth I am cursed
Constantly thinking of the things in my life
My passion for love and the search...

Inner Child
I lie in the grass with you,
and you point to the sky like we used to do.
"That cloud looks like a fish," you say,
and I stare at you in quiet amazement.
How could they not love you?
Your beautiful brown hair—
they cut it short all those years,
trying to shape you, contain you.
You smile, crooked teeth glinting, so cheesy,
and I remember: we were happiest
when we ran away,
just you and I, lost in our thoughts.
I stare back at the sky and point.
"And that," I murmur.
It makes you giggle. ...

Never Give Up Life
I will never give up this new year!
I will veer away from a dreadful society
and trek into the wilderness
for the sake of my self preservation.
What sins and decay society is now!
Embrace the peace of nonjudgmental eyes,
or nonexistent eyes in the wilds.
I don’t care how alone I am I want solitude.
I once wrote the forest has eyes and tongues.
This refers to his the psychosis will follow me.
I accept this, however, no one will witness me
responding to these voices out loud!
I’m 37 now and I am exhausted and...

None Can Ever Survive On Its Own and Be
Shall I my very ego embrace
And only me see on Earth face!
*****
Could I my heart keep safe and sound
And all the fears of the mind unbound?
Would I cling to a balmy ivory tower
And just feed on the honey of one flower?
Could I detach my Self from any bond
And to dilemmas be able not to respond?
Would my soul blossom into creative art
As oblivious the mind and confined the heart?
*****
Shall I my very ego embrace
And only me see on Earth face!

How would a flower a bee suffice

KEEP ON PUSHING
When things get rough and spiritually things, are not going so well I know from my own experience, it can be a scary situation to have to learn to just walk away. FROM what you don't want or need in your life. For sure I had to learn how to navigate, through the process of standing on my own terms of common sense, 🧐 For what I had to face, was my own fears and put my eyes, on my mission at hand. FOR you could never really want was as it can be erase to start over again. 😔 You have to learn how strong is your spiritual faith, and do you have the ability to manifest that which...

It's not over when you lose
From within the inner vibes of my life, 🤔 I had to come to accept what my life, has and will become for with each reason. I had to fight back with MY OWN strength and courage as my.personal devil's.😈 Be standing in the darkness, as they hide behind a mask. THAT entered into the deepness of my life, as well as my body and mind. 😞 For sure I remember that day as if it just happen yesterday, 🤔 when my whole life changed right before my own eyes 👁️ 👁️ For I remember that moment when the pain became to hard to 🐻 and sleepless...

YOU
You are special
You are unique
You are powerful
You are equipped
You are knowledgeable
You are smart
You are important
You are valuable
You are loved...but,
always remember that
You are alone!
