Reaching for Sola Nirvana
today
she walked in the snow;
sun bright
on her brow,
casting shadows
into her eyes
long gone
dark
a single,
spring-green leaf
struggles to break free,
reaching for
Sola Nirvana;
small and determined,
it’s will to survive
focused
bending down,
her fingers gently
caressing;
the velvety-sharp
texture stings,
skip-starting
across her flesh;
even in its struggle
upward
it courageously
fights
where it stands ...
she walked in the snow;
sun bright
on her brow,
casting shadows
into her eyes
long gone
dark
a single,
spring-green leaf
struggles to break free,
reaching for
Sola Nirvana;
small and determined,
it’s will to survive
focused
bending down,
her fingers gently
caressing;
the velvety-sharp
texture stings,
skip-starting
across her flesh;
even in its struggle
upward
it courageously
fights
where it stands ...

TRANSCENDING ONES VESSEL
As these very thoughts penetrate through the mist that seems to fog my mind with thoughts that shouldnt even be in my mind, as I can feel the tension rises through my shoulder blades with an aching pain, separating my heart from my brain unvealing the true depth of my inner hurt with pain dumping more dirt upon my grave.
For as the tendency to survive...
For as the tendency to survive...

Hell-Bent Earth'World
saying say pleas
enunciate the joke
more precisely
for the benefit of they
who listen
preoccupied with the timbre
of the echos voiced by themSelves alone.
(many of us stay resolutely in this mode....many/most)
for all the crying out loud that I am, any moments of joy will
be subject of the grief for my child who is lost to this world
among so many dead via a soon to be...

The New York Marathon 2019
New York Marathon 2019
The excitement I felt was more than the illusion of its dream
Three hours forty-five minutes of blissful pacing, running
From the start of a chilly Autumn gunning
Mile twenty, legs feeling like jelly
Bib number hanging halfway off my jeweled belly
Exhausted, yet pushing a fatigue body beyond repair
Pedicure toes no more, plastered to my face, sweaty curly hair
Oh, those beautiful Kenyans with wings they fly by
Mile after mile, the grace found in their humble smiles
The sea of blues, red, cheering on the side lines ...
The excitement I felt was more than the illusion of its dream

The moment that means everything
The waves stayed quiet
No guns, no riot
Peace and calm
Gave way to boredom
The curse of always searching
For reason song and ryhme
For "the moment" to be mine
For something that's sublime
It is the curse of humans
For passion we destroy
Which was already perfect
In search for more, we loose existing joy
Oh choir from the heavens
Why can't you always sing?
Your song that must remind us
Of nobility within
Oh noble creature, listen
to inner stream and song
You're a star, born of...
No guns, no riot
Peace and calm
Gave way to boredom
The curse of always searching
For reason song and ryhme
For "the moment" to be mine
For something that's sublime
It is the curse of humans
For passion we destroy
Which was already perfect
In search for more, we loose existing joy
Oh choir from the heavens
Why can't you always sing?
Your song that must remind us
Of nobility within
Oh noble creature, listen
to inner stream and song
You're a star, born of...

Do You Dare
I Dare You To Assault My Verbal Matrix
Pull Everything Out Of Your Bag Of Tricks
Rip And Rend You Shan't Defend My Kicks
Returned As I Deliver My Quiver Just Love Licks
Think It's Crazy You Have Not Heard My Mix
Delivered Hung On An Word Inverted Crucifix
I Know You May Think My Mind A Like A Brick
Yet It Burns Like A Fire Made From Rune Sticks
Pull Everything Out Of Your Bag Of Tricks
Rip And Rend You Shan't Defend My Kicks
Returned As I Deliver My Quiver Just Love Licks

Yet It Burns Like A Fire Made From Rune Sticks

a Platitude of (e)motions
Stumbling
over a flawed
pavement
Expressing
a debate
where
futilities
flutter
around
I stae and phrase
Uttering my free
right
of
speach
Then
There it comes
again
One word
"Relax"
He said
All is nullified
into thin innate air
Too many times
this death sentence
Has been spoken
Zeroing out
all that is left
within
He leaves
voids
open
over a flawed
pavement
Expressing
a debate
where
futilities
flutter
around
I stae and phrase
Uttering my free
right
of
speach
Then
There it comes
again
One word
"Relax"
He said
All is nullified
into thin innate air
Too many times
this death sentence
Has been spoken
Zeroing out
all that is left
within
He leaves
voids
open

Broken Into
Have you ever been-
utterly broken into?
Windows smashed,
contents strewn-
across the floor.
Spending nights,
fearful of your own vulnerability
wondering if all your defences
are futile and superfluous, forever
Then realising you're heart is opened and can't
be broken-
or into
utterly broken into?
Windows smashed,
contents strewn-
across the floor.
Spending nights,
fearful of your own vulnerability
wondering if all your defences
are futile and superfluous, forever
Then realising you're heart is opened and can't
be broken-
or into

The Wally Sticks
Sit back, kick back, I will tell you a story in rhyme,
‘Bout Wallyroo Ninety-Two in his prime time,
So we’ll travel back to nineteen eighty nine,
When he was just fifteen and joined the drumline.
Earlier Wally had been a “sucky" drummer,
Could not keep up the beat, it was a bummer
But over the summer he practiced real hard,
And once in high school he got his calling card.
He leaned to read music and how to play notes,
A skinny nerd who'd never been able to gloat,
He still sucked but he was getting much better,
For one day he...

Wind Scent
I rave at the dividing line
The dividing time
It’s latitude and longitude
That part our skies and form our seas
I rave at the dividing line
The land and high tides
Neither will divide our ways
Or our emergence in its primordial line
We are to be set free in time.

Full Circle
I left and my worst nights were there to greet me.
Rock bottom before was nothing compared to half of the stuff that was about to hit the fan.
Nothingness.
I force myself back onto my feet.
In spite of you and everyone that tried to tear me down.
I'm still standing strong, motherfucker.
Healthy, thriving.
You cannot take this from me.
You cannot take anything from me anymore.
I am free.
