Love Lost
It has been since dawn since they confronted.
Neither will come to find a common ground.
For beneath the sun, his mind congested.
He couldn’t choose life and hear natures sound,
Death was more of a choice than without her.
For he could not find a love like her.
From his wounds, he can make only a blur,
Just a fragmentation with his vocal.
His destiny had now come to life.
Neither will come to find a common ground.
For beneath the sun, his mind congested.
He couldn’t choose life and hear natures sound,
Death was more of a choice than without her.
For he could not find a love like her.
From his wounds, he can make only a blur,
Just a fragmentation with his vocal.
His destiny had now come to life.

Working on a dysfunctional relationship
If you wouldn't mind
I would like to sleep
Don't want to think about nighttime
When you go off the deep
I hid all the scissors
And the knives you won't find
Anything that can cause me harm
Is something I'll always hide
If you wouldn't mind
When I fix my cereal
Don't mix crushed dog treats in
That should be criminal
I promise I'll try too
I'm not ready to be done
And I understand when
I put glue in your toothpaste
It's no longer fun
No more throwing things
That break or hurt ...

Communication or Lack Of....
Communication,
difficult to master
The receivers perceptions,
risk creating misconceptions
Awareness,
Not guaranteed
Of hearing what is said
if by emotions one is lead
Hearing,
Did you grasp the point
listening to interpret
or simply to correspond
Response,
Ensure the point isn't missed
or the senders feelings dismissed
Unhealthy is, communication defiance
Truth,
Yours or mine
forever sits in between
Growth if all sides are examined
Altercation,
Feelings hurt...

Fringes
alone
adrift at sea
stranded in the desert
on the summit
below the surface
afloat in space
imprisoned
death lives in isolation
diversity exists
at the fringes
life lives on the edge
where dissimilars
meet that’s
where the action is
where desert merges with
grassland forest mountains canyons
sand becomes soil
where houses schools
walls fences meet nature
microclimates emerge
where springs wells streams
caves geysers...

Shifts in Perception
It feels like
being surrounded by a dark fog,
Waking up in this existence.
Completely surrounded
by strangers that know my name
But agree to keep the distance.
I'm speaking in babbel,
My simple thoughts cannot be heard,
Even with insistance.
What pity,
To point at my perception of salvation
And to be met with resistance.
I find I was wrong,
My chains are as confined as theirs,
And all worn with proud persistence.
I have to accept
We are just parallel realities
In a world of...

But agree to keep the distance.

... brand that rocks the cradle
a starchild to begin,
“A” student again an again,
boy scout with every pen,
predictions an easy win,
mom really loves him
dad is super proud,
they hate they taught him
wrapped around like a shroud,
once a quiet kid
with a devilish cloud,
was Invisible
now shoots into a crowd,
misinformed ignorance
that is the mainstay,
sub level maturity
the order of the day,
lie, fear, corruption,
xenophobia is their play,
only one and “the others”
not even a shade of gray,

TILL IT'S GONE
As we come to this fork in the road of life as we're not together anymore as it should be due, to the misconception of an understanding that has bought us to this situation of being separated. For it takes a lot to understand wholeheartedly that we, can't keep doing this to each other just because things aren't going right. For in order to rebuild one must start from the beginning of time, which has now separated us by time and space filling up our feelings and emotions to a boiling point of mix emotional drama. For even now as I stare into the depth and deepness of your eyes, I see emptiness...

The covid marshal
It was a Sunday
early afternoon
maybe quarter to one
In the local shop
standing at the meat counter
thinking about roast chicken
all the trimmings
When all of a sudden
the mood is interrupted by two
high vis vest wearing covid marshals
"Excuse me where is your mask?
According to government mandate
you, are required to wear one

THE BATTLES OF LOVE
How did we get to this situation in our lives that seems to be an issue as well as an situation with, the process of loving each other as we once did before the storm came and turned our lives basically upside down. How did we become less than strangers that once who shared dreams, together of love with understanding with devotional respect. Yet here we are now face to face, not speaking nor sharing in the true deepness of the love. Yet we are here now instead of building a strong foundation together, we are constantly breaking each other down mentally and emotionally. How did we come to this...

Free Calls to God
I've thought a lot about it
over the past twenty years.
Somewhere in the midst
of a wool blanket pulled
out to pasture, and your
muddy socks strewn halfway
to midday, I found the
meaning of my anxiety.
It wasn't so much the dirt
making heliocentric circles
around the glossy brown,
no-wax finish; it was
your disregard for
knowledge and the
pursuit of something that
hung so low you could have
picked it without a ladder.
I spent too many days
wrapped up in words that
never...
over the past twenty years.

A Flower For Your Thoughts
A flower for your thoughts,'
he said placing a flower
over her left ear.
'You really wouldn't want to know
if you had a clue as to my thoughts
Perhaps then I could steal a kiss
for you look so pretty in that dress
She said that stealing is a crime
but I can't blame you for trying
You see, she said, I have
a man of my own
you would be wise to leave me alone
He stared at her as she walked away
he heard her say
If I were you I wouldn't stay
because if you do there
will be hell to pay

dont have time to worry
i am not worried
i know how the game goes
sending me what he told you doesn't affect
its not that deep he is not my boyfriend
I know he talks to other girls
you're not special as you think
in my life, I'm more worried about my kids
I trying to get peace in my life
you are the kind that wants to be saved by a guy
I know why they like you and not me
I'm not changing how I am
just to get affection
