Just shut up and listen
It's me again the story teller of unspoken words ✍️ We all have been in a situation for one reason or another, 🤨 that we let what we say cause you to act a certain way not be heard. 🤔 Whether you are wrong or right in what you think and say to someone else, I say that to say this which ever the way you may take what it is I'm about to say to you. 🤨 When you don't agree with what someone say to you, how do you respond for do you begin yelling and cursing, 😠 yet you still not listening and thinking that they are wrong, for speaking to you in a calm...

Heads your dead
I have two choices
Should I pull the plug or not?
I should flip a coin
Should I pull the plug or not?
I should flip a coin

Housed on unsteady grounds
Shy on the attempt to bring up sharing space
Knew it’d be possible based on the feel
Came in reality & realized it wouldn’t be
caked
Understood early the table talks would be often to clear air
The perfect plan didn’t include taking accountability but gripping responsibility
Run it right & there’ll be help to it continue but run it the opposite & it may run over you
(Go steady when feeling the blues)

Nothing as Everything Shou.d be.
As everything should be
as it was
ever never was
Have you come
Have you come to see
the funeral or stay? Do please.
Why are we floating?
I have unregistered gravity.
Life is best lived
Without bearings, as they say. Afterwards
Whiskey.
Do they? Who says such?
Listen— there’s nothing left but the sound of
A solitary wave lost in the very ocean.
Like, this sense that we’re all drifting?
Maybe it’s always been like this, ...

IT'S ABOUT WHAT IS TRUE
As long as you can do that what is necessary to do for you, to be able to share your thoughts and insight and spiritual strength. That is what we have to do, for us to be able to connect on a positive level. For sure we each have our own opinions. 🤔 For neither one is wrong or right that is why, we have to learn to understand that we will agree to disagree. But with common sense of intelligences and subconscious, thoughts on any subject matter. 🤫 For sure that is what makes you and I different, as we can appreciate the opportunity to share our thoughts, and insight and...

I Quit the P.O.
I quit the P.O.
I QUIT the Post Office near me
To stand on a stage in a seedy corner of town not far from here
The P.O. paid my bills gave me (almost) middle class
Kept a roof over and paid all the bills
Even had enough to spend on the kids
What was I thinking I can’t pay for schooling
Playing in a dive bar
I quit the P O to pursue my dreams
Wake up look around at the damage I’ve done
Hope to wake up drunk on a rock star yacht
Forget about the damage I’ve done
The kids have the best...

Milestones
Surrounded in vibrant sharp beauty
to checkpoint the unknown
Survived experiences devoured
that could’ve sever hip bone
In jungle thorns of life
machete swung at carnivorous dense thicket
Would be insane to run the same path
and more a fool to twice pick it
Resilient in conviction I beat trails
to pave thin fragile success
Fought demons at trials in my wake
asleep woke sweat grapple in stress
Stick a [milestone] at this juncture
to save repeat of heredity queue
S.O.S. walking tight circles to arrive

Eulogy for a Bonsai
I have to come clean as I return to see
your ashen corpse and dried leaves
My survival became more important
than yours, but now I feel badly.
Humans choose to love their own selves more
than anything or anyone they choose to love
Don’t believe what they say in their poems
I loved you because you would wink at me
and tempt me to hear the silent moment
I will never forget your beautiful nebari
Funny, I learned that word when I met you
I put you under the cruel sun and fed you
It worked as long as we...

Crawl, Stand, Walk
Hi World, I've realized that I'm content/ I use to fight my reality and didn't relent/ but the more I changed the more I began to resent/ My recent changes/ my personal changing stages/ only brought me back to the place of lack/ almost like I'm only able to stack and or perpetuate the problems in my life/ Frustration grew and I thought my means of salvation is through the barrel of a gun or knife/ My personal Strife kept me at a low state/ However I'm not mad/ I guess you can say I'm glad/ it seemed so bad and I was at a place where I kept saying I wish things were different or I wish I had/...

Intuition
Illusive observations
Illogical, absurd
Formal trust violated.
Visceral forces founded in faith
Deflecting the balance of fate.
Value, values
Spiritual terms
Reflecting knowledge
Gifted from God.

compromise
The purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion
and the will to help others.”—Albert Schweitzer
it is unwise
to compromise
the truth,
whether the time
be of your prime
or youth.
the ways of man,
whether by plan
or chance,
mark well from birth,
upon the earth,
his dance.
it is unkind
to wear a blind
passport
to shield the eye
from those who cry:
in short,
turn not aside
those who must ride
the storm;
reach out and bless
those who know less ...
and the will to help others.”—Albert Schweitzer

torn between two choices
Your choices are made in a moment, and yet their
consequences transcend a lifetime.”—M. J. DeMarco
choice leads me on:
sorely am i divided.
a hopeless pawn?
a future predecided?
no parliament
convened, tho scant a hearing?
chance to repent,
ere naked flames come searing?
the evil eye
blindfolds the will of reason,
...
