Reflection,
It's reciprocity's mirror
Of alternate realities
Which gives the glance that guarantees
To make this dear life clearer,
And the portal between the two
Is the wavelet surface ripple
Showing, like a participle,
What we should or should not do.
But if to this a man is blind
His soul will ever steep in hate
And his definition most unkind
Of what is, and, what is not great.
It's the golden rule to unbind
Great apes from an unkind fate!
Of alternate realities
Which gives the glance that guarantees
To make this dear life clearer,
And the portal between the two
Is the wavelet surface ripple
Showing, like a participle,
What we should or should not do.
But if to this a man is blind
His soul will ever steep in hate
And his definition most unkind
Of what is, and, what is not great.
It's the golden rule to unbind
Great apes from an unkind fate!

genie in a bottle...flipside
world at my fingers
struggling to see clearly
it's a sweats & braids kinda day
feeling a little deflated
a bit like vapor
trying to decide
whether to fight
or fade
not committed
to either
do not rub
out of order

Beating Up Dead Horses
So you want to beat this dead horse till you’re all hoarse?
Go ahead and be my guest
I thought this case was closed but I guess you forgot so…
Get it off your chest
again
and
again
I mean it’s exhausting watching you go around in circles
Let alone the isolation, it’s becoming quite the predicament
You’re slowly putting yourself in loneliness unknowingly
And when you find all the emptiness it’ll be your detriment
Perhaps you’re not ready to let go of the hate and hurt ...
Go ahead and be my guest

Let alone the isolation, it’s becoming quite the predicament
You’re slowly putting yourself in loneliness unknowingly
And when you find all the emptiness it’ll be your detriment
Perhaps you’re not ready to let go of the hate and hurt ...

Empty Trees
The setting sun made the final clinging leaves
shine like dangling red jewels.
The scarlet shimmer infused my imagination
with creative fuel
Trees are not like people,
they don't feel empty.
Why do we grieve for that
which cannot be retrieved?
Barren branches know.
It's so much easier just to let go.
Creation always finds a way to grow.
shine like dangling red jewels.
The scarlet shimmer infused my imagination
with creative fuel
Trees are not like people,
they don't feel empty.
Why do we grieve for that
which cannot be retrieved?
Barren branches know.
It's so much easier just to let go.
Creation always finds a way to grow.

Low Flying Planes
They are everywhere
low flying planes
over small patches of mountains
over office buildings
they don'r fill the space
between my thumb and index finger
from where i sit
on my balcony
low flying planes
small and silent
one after another
i watch them to take my mind away
I'm a wildy repressed
primal jungle girl
dancing to tribal rhythms
trapped in an aging caucasian city life body
giving another little piece of myself to the sky
every day
low flying planes

Another Arrow
(Shooting Arrows At Future Ghosts)
I wanted desperately to call this love,
yet knew it was circumstance.
I wanted to hold you more
than in between the risings of the moon.
But days split us in halves;
Part wonder and part doubts.
Though when together,
I wanted to open a window
that faced the world, and shout
See! Be jealous of this!
And let everyone look on,
as you and I struck a deal.
To poke ourselves over and over
with Cupid's arrow.
We'd take turns brandishing it ...

this darkness isn't big enough for two
I don't want to be alone with you
in the dark tonight
trading scars and spilling darkness
like cheap cask wine
because alcoholics
don't buy nice things
and our souls don't know
how to aim for top shelf self-destruction
We are discarded art
half drawn and torn in strange places
I tried to tape you back together
but you wrapped me up
in your co-dependence
and I was too lonely to cut you off
because like every drug
that's picked me up to let me fall
you got inside and gave me something

Loving the Lamppost - with Lilliputian
Their world painted in shadows void of emotions
a gladiator of narcissist placenta dangling
on a decaying umbilical, idolized by fools
pampered and spoiled by the embryos of insanity
behind a firewall of debauchery, self-contained
from their own Cuckoo clock...half-baked
Manitou of inebriated veins gaslighting a lamppost
molding their faces and drawing a smile
to cover the rotting grudge that lies behind
it’s second nature, like taking a breath
looking down on you with a folie de grandeur
thinking they’re someone else

Love...elusive
Love met me
at my heart's doorsteps
She was like a bird
feathered in red
at my heart's doorsteps
She was like a bird
feathered in red

hollow clouds of depression
my palms burned as soon as I touched the snow
my eyes were blinded by the moonlight
emotions were suppressed under the burden of misunderstanding
relationships caught fire due to the terror of the sun
my walls were lost in emptiness due to the flock of clouds
my dreams drowned in the river of night flowing in the sky
my sleep bloomed like a black lotus in the pillow filled with sadness

part of the crowd
let me
hurry
and rush
uptown,
let me
become
part of
the crowd,
it's lonely
being
just one.

his last night down the pub ..
the old bloke was last seen
in the kings arms
imploringly held out in front of
him there was nothing
in the kings arms
imploringly held out in front of
him there was nothing
