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...

The Door
Severely silent night.
An open door.
To a quiet nocturnal world.
There stands a paralysis of
gaunt empty branches.
Stone chances.
As the haunting
sterile white moon stares.
A door to nowhere.
Everywhere.
Somewhere.
A chilling choice.
Void of voice.
Step through the door.
Breech the membrane
of life's mysterious worlds.
An open door.
To a quiet nocturnal world.
There stands a paralysis of
gaunt empty branches.
Stone chances.
As the haunting
sterile white moon stares.
A door to nowhere.
Everywhere.
Somewhere.
A chilling choice.
Void of voice.
Step through the door.
Breech the membrane
of life's mysterious worlds.

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.

The Dance of Numbness
I’ve sat with pain, a guest for so long,
Written countless lines, my heart’s old song.
Opened once, now closed again,
Numbness, my comfort, my familiar friend.
The hurt no longer cuts, it simply stays,
An old companion through endless days.
The song repeats, echoes loud,
Comfortably numb, beneath the shroud.
I learned to dance with pain, embrace her tight,
But tonight, she clings with all her might.
Squeezing my heart, draining me dry,
How much more until I fly?
I thought I was ready, thought I’d be free,
But pain has other...
Written countless lines, my heart’s old song.
Opened once, now closed again,
Numbness, my comfort, my familiar friend.
The hurt no longer cuts, it simply stays,
An old companion through endless days.
The song repeats, echoes loud,
Comfortably numb, beneath the shroud.
I learned to dance with pain, embrace her tight,
But tonight, she clings with all her might.
Squeezing my heart, draining me dry,

The Dreaded Question
The Swedish man knew me as a dog lover
though I happily took over the job of feeding the stray kitties
gathered by his country house door every evening
But yeah,
dogs.
I loved my beagle, Brandy Joy
and Swedish man's Rottweiler, Daisy
and his friends' dogs
and my friends' dogs
and strangers' dogs
and dogs on TV
and the dog I met once
who had a perfect German shepherd head
on a corgi body.
The only dog I can think of,
that I couldn't quite bring myself to love,
was a friend's...

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,
...

Working Out
it gives me insights
and quite a lot too
thought there was
little strength left
in my leggy body
while i'm Stronger
than i thought i was
it gave me a huge
confidence boost
i knew movement
improves mood yet
it came as a shock
how fast changes
occurred how huge
they are and how
long they stayed
yet more than that
i find myself making
better food choices
healthy foods that
nourish & nurture
