teeter totter progress
2 of 30
right where I am
not this place
...but this me
where I stand...
...& sometimes slip...
constantly moving
through my unending evolution
it's a momentary station
a pause in the journey only
I both love & loathe it
wearing disappointment...
believing so few obstacles
have been conquered
{tunneled vision...}
beaming with pride...
at the realization
of how far I've actually progressed
{unearthed mirror of truth...}
I celebrate the victories ...

Keep Going
Pain is never ending, life is ever ejecting unfair circumstances at you, step up above the rest and feel the discomfort of prominence against a tide of turbulent time
Tied into draining oblivion, trying not to drown before the plug is completely pulled free
Skin sheds away with further resilience, this life – such a sardonic pardon to the soul
Realities inside realities, Dionysian escape unfurling banners of joy, yet always with the backlash lest you bite too hard in throes of ecstasy
Beaten down to an abject pulp, self-terminating freedom, how much...

Lasso the Sun
The rider rides
With rage and passion in his heart
Over golden hills and across the plains
Across the great breath of land
Through realms and domains
Ready
To capture the sun
His untamed spirit and will
Has no time for menial things
There is a flame to catch and a force wield
As he gallops into the distance
Willing to conquer the day
Ready
To seize the sun
He chases the fire in the sky
Without wings or propellors he flies
Hi horse racing against time
Leaving a plume of smoke and dust...
With rage and passion in his heart
Over golden hills and across the plains
Across the great breath of land
Through realms and domains
Ready
To capture the sun
His untamed spirit and will
Has no time for menial things
There is a flame to catch and a force wield
As he gallops into the distance
Willing to conquer the day
Ready
To seize the sun
He chases the fire in the sky
Without wings or propellors he flies
Hi horse racing against time

Cruelty is your middle name
Most people duck reality. Reality is a river with a fierce current. You can try & resist but the current won’t stop. It moves faster & stronger then you ever will. People give in. People have to many vices that blur their vision. Most people accept what it is and never go against the mainstream. Swim up the mainstream, go against what is the norm and what is being force fed to you. Living life this way takes perseverance and determination.
Society, civilization, language, just living day by day, people are tired. They don’t have the strength to make change. This is why so...

Never doubt thyself
Let's just keep it real as writers of pen 🖋️ to paper 📜 for sure let's stop doubting our talents as writers of unspoken words, for sure that is our calling as much as it is our power of knowledge and wisdom, and our experience to be able to share and articulate with thoughts and feelings. For example sometimes we are artist that are painters of a picture and sometimes we are singers 🎤 who sing to a different beat of a beautiful Melody. For sure what ever is your true spiritual potential will be revealed to you, for sharing is a blessing as it is a gift of...

Galadriel's Choice
Silent hope beats in the heart,
mixed with the fear of failure,
for valiance is proven in the art
of preserving loyalty in the behaviour,
when tested amid seductive trials,
the domain of inner strength,
then weakness battles in denial,
seeking excuses, while one repents.
Galadriel stood by the well
that predicts doom of the races.
As if a mirror beyond mere spells,
true teller, not of fortune, but of faces.
She wanted to ignite within
the spark of higher immortality,
not innately, despite all sin,
but...

AntiHero of Hades
your purpose, little spark;
Harness all that you are,
all that I have made you to be.
You will find your fire
and you will bring forth a great ignition.
You will be the Phoenix of my domain.
You will rise from the ashes of the Underworld
and all of Olympus
will fall from the sky,
By your hand.
You are my design.
Harness all that you are,
all that I have made you to be.
You will find your fire
and you will bring forth a great ignition.
You will be the Phoenix of my domain.
You will rise from the ashes of the Underworld
and all of Olympus
will fall from the sky,
By your hand.
You are my design.

GARDEN OF EXCUSES
Place a fence around the Garden of Excuses for habits
To ward off the strays: dogs, foxes and rabbits
That nibble on our fruited seeds and vegetation
Ruining the livestock of our generation.
Don’t allow the rabbits near the carrots
Nor the little foxes near the parrots!
Shun them away from the garden
‘Lest they ruin the garden without pardon!
Your betrayal has no pardon
As you allowed my heart to harden
I created a comfortable cradle
Never knowing it would be fatal!

We as one love
We as one love always and forever as we each change each others life and world. 🌍 For I knew that you were the one that was sent, from above to really brighten up my life and show me that love, does exist in some people's hearts and the minds of those who haven't given up, on finding that special one. For sure it was you and I together as one love, with honesty and truth and trust. FROM the very beginning of our paths crossing, like a shooting star shooting across the distance skies. For sure we both had our share of the make believe stories of lies, and false promises that required...

If you can't love me right
They say if you can't love someone right, then leave them alone, for it seems that you haven't grown up yet. FOR you're still playing those childish like mind games. FOR your own foolish personal gain, with one thing on your mind to leave me broken, into little bits of scattered pieces of shatter broken like antique crystals glass. For it comes a time in each of our lives, that you gotta know that doesn't work anymore on some people. For sure you are one of those who has disregards of how you make people feel, with no shame of what you have done to someone, who doesn't deserve to be treated...

Bart’s Bouncing Donuts.
Bartholomew "Bart". My Buttercup. He’s a man of boundless enthusiasm, a heart of pure spun sugar, and ideas that would make a caffeinated squirrel look lethargic. I love him dearly. Truly, I do. But sometimes, his entrepreneurial spirit… well, it leaves me a little breathless.
For years, he’s been plagued with flightless business adventures. The "Chihuahua Chinchilla", the "Edible Eyeglasses", the "Self-Folding Laundry". (the less said about the hamster union strike, the better). I still find stray sunflower seeds in the dryer....
