On watching animated films on a strange and silent afternoon
I am looking at Pinocchio fold
into piles of pine. Watching
the joints slide backwards
until the lie takes over
and gravity becomes a cold bed
in which to lay the bones down.
I think of my own body
splintering in what can’t be seen.
How this day comes and there
is nothing, but a dark whale
and the tenacity to escape.
Did anybody tell him
years later, in his trauma,
that it is better to be made of wood
than to eternally be made of stone.
I am looking at Pinocchio...
into piles of pine. Watching
the joints slide backwards
until the lie takes over
and gravity becomes a cold bed
in which to lay the bones down.
I think of my own body
splintering in what can’t be seen.
How this day comes and there
is nothing, but a dark whale
and the tenacity to escape.
Did anybody tell him
years later, in his trauma,
that it is better to be made of wood
than to eternally be made of stone.
I am looking at Pinocchio...

plain to see
stone dropped
in water
ripples echo out
than fade
life,
time,
our stones,
water.

Let Go(d)
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all [ your heart ]
and lean not on your [ own understanding ];
in all your ways submit [ to him ],
and he will make your [ paths straight ].
When I'm laid in that resin pine box I hope they say [ "He lived" ]
Ignited all cares flicked to the wind still without a kind regard [ to give ]
AWAKEN to a phoenix shriek soaring out smelted [ molten ash ]
Paused chest purified wiping the charcoal quick adjust as [ I dash ]
Fiercely burning bound in breast poised in kevlar plated [ rib cages ] ...

Ignited all cares flicked to the wind still without a kind regard [ to give ]

Fiercely burning bound in breast poised in kevlar plated [ rib cages ] ...

Flawed Beauty
Though my legs are paralyzed
I traveled the seven seas
On a quest in search for Atlantis
I climbed high mountains and
Roamed vast deserts to find my treasure
Accompanied by Peruvian shamans
I drank Ayahuasca
Supported by a wolf pack
I survived atomic winter.
I am a reader!
I had tea with fairies and plant devas
Talked to friendly beings in faraway galaxies
Embarked on adventurous journeys
On the back of my unicorn
I listened to the messages
The rustling autumn leaves
Whispered into my ear
I...

Beautiful
Beautiful
I know how you feel and see who you are.
You say to get real and that I don't understand,
But I do.
I see you
You're excited, in love, bored and afraid.
When push comes to shove, you think you may fade.
You love to be loved but feel unworthy;
Like life is playing a joke;
Too good to leave,
But too good to believe.
Once you step over the line.
You will get swept into another time.
Afraid to overstep who you can become.
I know how you feel
...

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
To spark the music of a bird of...

Building a Life
Building a Life
Where youth misses,
Age abides.
It is in our faults
We learn,
And therein
Turn the tides.
Where youth
Hurries in
To sooth satisfy
Its frenzied feed,
Age must wait
And guard
The trail
To stay upon
The steed.
The journey
Takes
Its casual course
And life
Its unused favor,
For
In the distance,
There abouts,
There lies
In wait
A saber.
We must search
And yield
In turn
With arbitration's ...

Impromptu
Sweet revelations
cannot fully describe the gravity of what is
pulling me toward an indistinct future.
Starlit by inequity and adorned by selfish submission.
Within a universe smaller than my own ego
the howls of ambition beckon an awakening.
Drudging this sludge
inept and pliant, my stature
reveals more than my security allows.
Far less than my secrets can hold.
A busted vault, a smokescreen,
dead guards by the door.
Innocence reborn
like a flower in the fall
when everything else is dying.
Nature's...

At Your Alter
Most high I am at your alter, your Soulja tried and true. My heart never falters I stand tall because I am you.
I keep my crown in heaven because hell is a place my feet has already walk through. I keep the sun in my heart as I rise and paint the sky blue.
I have fought internal battles so can you count the multitude of demons that I have slew. How can a bird cry about a sky he never flew.
I danced on the battlefield where the cold winds blew. So how could I find the warmth of love if I have not found no fire in you.
I sailed the sea with...

evolving time
tic toc the clock goes round
sometimes time pines for yesterday
when things were carefree and young
time went by slowly
with summer thoughts it would never end
fast forward I'm chasing time
I can't catch up
things are changing too quickly
it seems we are running toward something
do we know yet what that is?
within the doubt I ask
with an opportunity to hear
sincere with curiosity
made of stardust
we all shine
lovely in presentation
uniquely tested for what reason
I can only guess ...

The Gifts You Have Given Me
Lost Viking,
I embrace your every word
For within each one i have found
The gifts of acceptance and connection
Your words have given me hope
When I needed it the most
Causing me to be glad I'm alive
What greater blessing could there be
Than that of knowing that not only
Do you get me but you are moved by my own words.
Thank you for making my heart smile so big.

On seeking wholeness in a hammock
the guilt that gnaws
the lessons learned
old wounds opened
new scars earned
grief gently bleaches
as sun peeks ‘round trees
loss ripens to gratitude
through tender breeze
the bygones are past
so receive what is real
not all things can last
but all can heal
.
