GRAPEVINE COCKTAIL OF THE HEART
INGREDIENTS:
Fruits: Labor, actions, and words
Fruit punch
Smoothies
cocktail mixes: Godly Purpose & Devilish temptation syrup
Sour limes
Encircling the rooftop of my mouth
lies the natural-enticing sweet flavors of the “fruits”
of my labor, actions, and even exchanged words.
Yet, the bitter-spiked “fruit-punch smoothies,”
found in Wisdom's Mystery Recipe
Funneled and strained by God’s divine revelation
of channeled learned experience and observation,
ooze all the way down my belly
reaching the very core...

EQUIVALENT OCCURRENCES
A deep cry erupts the city street
A mother's heart races a rapid beat.
A whirlwind swivels round her baby girl
Toddler falls - as the world becomes a blur.
Traveling soul up to the heavens above
With the taste of her mother's love
Stifling numbness of her body on the ground
Panic strikes - drowning earthly sound.
Scent of eternity and freshly-cut grass
Awakens as the soul bypassed.
Do they come back, O God, the same?
Do they come back the same?
Filled with regrets, remorse and shame
Like a separation or divorce ...

Drawing Circles
The puddles I engorge
Falsify my course of action
Cemented in the past they forge
A permanent reminder of my traction
Daily struggles I juggle
While acrobatically walking the line
Watching every step for trouble
I ensure I don’t recline
Careful of my existence
I keep track of every foot
Looking back to calculate the distance
As if it were residual output
Pushing through the crowd of eyes
I slowly begin to realize
The world is backward and full of lies
Napo, Napo 21 surely flies
March drums...

Broken
I am chipped,
Worn around the edges
Energy stripped
Tarnished to my liking
My pen is dry
Poor and brittle
Soft, yet smooth
Lacking motivation
My thoughts are overweight
In dire need of exercise
On the fritz of exploding
My eyes fight to stay open
My subconscious is numb
Operating on fumes
Feeding its misery
I can’t shake this slump
Worn around the edges
Energy stripped
Tarnished to my liking
My pen is dry
Poor and brittle
Soft, yet smooth
Lacking motivation
My thoughts are overweight
In dire need of exercise
On the fritz of exploding
My eyes fight to stay open
My subconscious is numb
Operating on fumes

Attention steady wanders
Mind over matter
Obsolete thoughts squander
Silent pitter patter
Tour guide central
Trapped for days
Illustrious disturbed mental
Mouse blueprinted maze
Sight seems blind
Black hole space
Empty sounds bind
Entity no face
Downward funnel spiral
Abyssal swallowed pit
Self-destruct made final
Time suffering whit
Principles flutter dim
Speech echoes ears
Prisoner from within
Uncharted mass fears
Zombified act illusion
Diluted motor skills
Uncompliant heir...

verb - as in psychiatry:
-The subtle act of harming or taking one’s own life or the life of another - or other living beings - while in a deep state of unconsciousness – as one who sleepwalks. - [/i]
Awakening from slumber, I rise from the bed
One glance out the window, the moon glows red.
Digital time stopped ticking at six-six-six.
At a far-off distance, faucet runs drip-drip-drip.

Grammatically Wrong!
My Furry Friend
O wear O wear can you bee?
My worry for you doesn't go free
I loose touch every now and then
Wondering if I will sea you again
From the depth of my soul too the core of my heart
I've been missing you since the start.
I red in the paper you seamed dayzed
Lost and confused and wandering for days
Until we meat again, I walk with a yolk around my neck
As worries and fears away they peck
At my heart and soul.
The heir around me grows very thin
Wondering if I'll ever win
To hold you in my arms again ...

The Ventura Pier and Promenade at Mid-Day
it’s what jumpers do
they assign you
with the gap-toothed
our procession
set gulls squawking
her finger tapping
the cranium
as a woodpecker
saving the tree
yelling stupidstupidstupidstupid/sudden
SUDDEN
a swirling blemish
between the pier’s legs
spewed like her gape
your possessions
given to me
set my head squawking
arms full
of your cast-offs

Blood Moon's Curse
I feel myself slipping
The pain of my flesh stripping
The bed of my nails splitting
Veins in my heart ripping
Myself and wolf mixing
Cartilage and bone committing
My facial features shifting
Humanity slowly drifting
Changeling thoughts spinning
Man and beast kissing
The taste of blood gripping
Sniffing
Spilling
The pain of my flesh stripping
The bed of my nails splitting
Veins in my heart ripping
Myself and wolf mixing
Cartilage and bone committing
My facial features shifting
Humanity slowly drifting
Changeling thoughts spinning
Man and beast kissing
The taste of blood gripping
Sniffing
Spilling

After Life
One night I was awoken
Face to face
A paralyzing dream state
Many voices were spoken
Whispers beyond my space
Deftly wails escape their gate
Halo’s and horns
Wings and tails
Sorrowful mourns
Jubilated sails
Dead of night I float
Too traumatized to move
Crushing sensations birth my throat
A perfect demise sews its groove
No longer asleep
No longer awake
I spy the Shepard of my sheep
Amidst the great Serpent’s wake
My eyes play dead
They roll behind their curtain
Immoral haunted feelings spread ...

My Creative Madness
I can no longer identify
That plausible line
Between sanity and I
Inside this mesmeric mind
So many stairs
Kaleidoscope this place
Rickety adjoining pairs
Obscure an unknown face
So many doors
Mirage their appearance
Footprints on open shores
Eradicate coherence
Ingenuity
Canvases its leech
Ambiguity
Misinterprets my speech
Poetry
Doodles my demons
Congruity
Chastises my seasons
Duo personalities mirror
Mental illness is clearer
Fruits of labor differ ...
