Blissfully Relaxed,
Blissfully relaxed,
From materialistic delight, detached
I left my skin down to the carnal mortality
clothed my soul in transcendental eternity
Mountains and forests, skies and seasons
Shepherds and pastoral eclogues;, my glossary
If to flesh satisfaction called on
I am Naturally calibrated, not addicted
Each and every container is to be filled
With the appropriate fair value, not abused
And so, i feel
Heavenly untroubled,
Earthly fulfilled
Spiritually healed ...

You Won't Believe What We Saw On The Road
We saw a naked chick.
She's letting some biker dude hump her.
That Harley was still moving.

Oh to feel Alive
I want to feel alive
What good is it to live
When somedays it's just as easy to shrivel up and die
I want to feel alive
I want to be molded into the likes of the statue of David and bare my nakedness to the world
With a body that I see as modelesque, love handles, extra fat and all
Letting all of my insecurities and setbacks desolve
I want to feel alive
Show my inner and outer scars to the world
Relish in my imperfections
Walk away from every care in the world and strut on a runway, where those who truly love me are in...

See for yourself
We are endlessly bombarded
With people claiming they know what is good for us
But the only way to know
Is not to believe in something
It is to see for yourself
Don't believe it because science says it
Don't believe it because a guru says it
Or an "expert"
Try it out in your own life
Give it a fair chance
Then simply keep what works
And discard what doesn't
All theory is dust before the result of a practical test
Only by testing will you know what works
And what doesn't

Black Wall Street
Tulsa 1921
As I stare at the dangling sign
It reads Williams Dreamland Theater
Hanging on by a thread it’s about all that’s left
Dawn rises in Tulsa 1921 smoke and debris is all that’s stands
Downtown shoe shine boy gets accused of
Being lewd with a White Lady
Newspaper prints the story and a white crowd grows for hours
Black men assemble put on war uniforms
March down to the courthouse to save a Black man from lynching
Police say there is nothing to fear go home and chill out
...

Swan Lake and Mars
Swan Lake and Mars
I saw the old ballet dance
deep in her Alzheimer's illness
when they played Tarkovsky
swan dance
she moved her hands and body
her movement was beautiful
I say to you
You want to go to Mars
If you do not take the human
art along
your life will be void of meaning

Estrella is a Star
She's the first one on the dance floor.
The only one.
Fine.
More room for her to shine.
Estrella doesn't test the water of the thudding beat.
She stomps right into it.
Owning the ocean.
Letting no wave stop her
Swimming so strong she could reach a distant shore.
Her confidence a beacon,
others are lured to the dance space.
They giggle.
Look to each other for what to do.
It will take them years -if ever- to figure out
What Estrella was born knowing.
I hope Estrella always remembers ...
The only one.
Fine.
More room for her to shine.
Estrella doesn't test the water of the thudding beat.
She stomps right into it.
Owning the ocean.
Letting no wave stop her
Swimming so strong she could reach a distant shore.
Her confidence a beacon,
others are lured to the dance space.
They giggle.
Look to each other for what to do.
It will take them years -if ever- to figure out
What Estrella was born knowing.
I hope Estrella always remembers ...

the warped tree (edited)
A Warped Tree
Today, when not arguing with Walter the Jew on Facebook
the ambiance in the house was surprisingly calm since
I got a key to my study in peace to read my latest collection
and found, at times, the poems had an internal rhyme and
were little stories
The pity is that I have to write without a publisher
can't afford to hire one; those I dare to ask run a thousand miles
one of them, a poor man, is a lecturer at Udevalla
Last year, I visited a crooked tree so shy its roots curled
in bashfulness, and its leaves took an autumnal color ...

Sweet Nothings that are Everything
I find myself longing for change
Yesterday is a closing door
I seek the highest mountain range
Where my heart is free to soar
Somewhere out there, where dreams come true
A thousand miles seems pretty far
I am capable now, now that I found you
To wish upon a great bright star
I knew I loved you before I met you
I knew you were waiting for me
Take my hand, take my whole life too
We were drawn together by destiny
Everybody wants to be understood
Hold on and don't shed a tear
We will have it good, the life...

Summit
I will conquer this mountain
even though I am broken
I will conquer this mountain
even though I feel pain
I will conquer this mountain
to prove I am worthy
I will conquer this mountain
till no one remains
even though I am broken
I will conquer this mountain
even though I feel pain
I will conquer this mountain
to prove I am worthy
I will conquer this mountain
till no one remains
