To follow the dream
it gets harder and harder"
time to bestow our beauty
time to rinse off the rage
which keeps us trapped
in some convoluted cage
contaminated with chaotic confusion
drowning in delusions and doubt
no one hearing the silent shouts
for help as we run around
hopelessly surrounding
ourselves with lies and
a low sense of self
levelling our health
wishing for wealth
as death creeps
so stealthily
unheard, unseen
like when the machines
take Control as they've already
begun to...

Regret
I wish. Would have. Should
Have. Done this, done that. I sigh.
In fog of regret.

Disillusioned
A man's capacity and capabilities are only limited by his own mind
You are far greater than what you think of yourself
You have been created in perfection
Reduced by perceptions
Bounded by societies prejudice
Or maybe we ought to believe in the misconception of mediocrity
Grow up.
Go to school.
Secure a good job.
And never take any chances!
Play by the book
Follow each rule to the the T
And then die a peaceful death at old age!
NO! no.
I refuse to be reduced to average
When I have...

Curves Imperative
I love a woman's curves
Rounded side breast bulging in fit blouse
Hips contoured in hippy jeans tight
Shapely rear sculpted swaying Brick House
Yes ... a head turning apparition indeed
The flat belly or not so flat belly no matter serves
The long sexy legs or not so long begs a look
The essence of a woman isn't just body curves
The Curves that capture me are most often higher
The curve of beautiful cheek to smiling lips gleaming
The inverted curve of eyebrows gently framing
The oval orbs of soul gateways sparkle...
Rounded side breast bulging in fit blouse
Hips contoured in hippy jeans tight
Shapely rear sculpted swaying Brick House
Yes ... a head turning apparition indeed
The flat belly or not so flat belly no matter serves
The long sexy legs or not so long begs a look
The essence of a woman isn't just body curves
The Curves that capture me are most often higher
The curve of beautiful cheek to smiling lips gleaming
The inverted curve of eyebrows gently framing
The oval orbs of soul gateways sparkle...

I'm Just Curious
Why?
Why do you think its ok to do the things you do?
What makes you believe its harmless words?
Why should we be defined by groups?
What about the ones who don't fit in cliques?
What drives you to hate on someone you don't know anything about?
Do you think color is a good way to accurately judge ones character?
Do you really care if I believe in a different god?
How does ones sexuality offend you when it's not your own body?
Why is my personal life something you want to change?
Do you honestly think women are weak and men shouldn't cook? ...

Sleepwalking
Where is my zest for
Life? I'm sleepwalking. I move
Through the same motions.

Routine of life
This routine of life
Eat, work, sleep, repeat. I am
On autopilot.

Kneel For Me
The Nine Muses who infuses my Charkas with wisdom, replenishes my temple with a thirst of knowledge, ordains my body within its tantric christening, and shelters my mind against the great storms of life.
Kneel for me when my voice is weak
I’m short of breath when I can no longer speak
Kneel for me as I’m being brutality slammed to the ground
When no cell phone cameras are visibly around
Kneel for me when the boys in blue are choke holding me while taking me down
Handcuffed for a traffic stop, now bruised, placed in a police cruiser and taken downtown
...

Tight Rope
Is it not sad
that one must be
a little Radical
to become free
from those
Persuasive
Loud
Soft spoken
pretty packaging
non binary
Non open minded
Opinions

Golden Petals
Who is he
Is he better then me
I’ve heard some things
God I hope they’re not true
You use to be
All I ever dreamed of
I tried to tell you
Couldn’t find the courage
So I tried to show you
But was too late
As I saw the truth
I held back the tears
Smiled as my dreams broke
As my heart was torn
I felt my Golden Petals fall to the floor
Who is he
Did he hurt you
I’ve heard some things
He better not not hope they’re true
I would be lying
If I said I didn’t...
Is he better then me
I’ve heard some things
God I hope they’re not true
You use to be
All I ever dreamed of
I tried to tell you
Couldn’t find the courage
So I tried to show you
But was too late
As I saw the truth
I held back the tears
Smiled as my dreams broke
As my heart was torn
I felt my Golden Petals fall to the floor
Who is he
Did he hurt you
I’ve heard some things
He better not not hope they’re true
I would be lying
If I said I didn’t...
