Set you free
dew drops on the pine strands,
dried cones all over the sand,
it’s really hard to walk, or even to think of doing a headstand!
yet, it still draws me in,
setting me free of sin,
waves breaking in, and the call for a one exquisite swim!
feel the rays of the sun,
caress your skin, it’s fun,
days that we forget but rays soaked days aren’t for regret!
the crisp freshness of tomorrow,
emerges a soul from the shadows,
taking me away from the mysteries of sorrow!
truth to be told, oh yeah behold!
I’ve stopped...

To Be human
Burn it, tear it down, smash it all,
throw bricks, set fires,
leave nothing standing
I am not a Grecian statue,
topple the dais you've set me on.
I am not a guiding flame,
You cannot caress fire
or make love to stone.
I am crass, I am human
I will destroy the images in your mind
that makes you think I'm special
Humans make love
not art or spirits
Remove the chains you've placed on...
throw bricks, set fires,
leave nothing standing
I am not a Grecian statue,
topple the dais you've set me on.
I am not a guiding flame,
You cannot caress fire
or make love to stone.
I am crass, I am human
I will destroy the images in your mind
that makes you think I'm special
Humans make love
not art or spirits
Remove the chains you've placed on...

escapism
sun set settings, chilling on a beach, silver screens, long list of favorite foods-fries and burger with some cheese, hostess treats & just about any flavor of store bought ice cream
one's just a walking, talking escapism machine.... if not that than one's going fast asleep.... life to me is like billboard advertisements,non stop
commercials on tv, "news", "politics" and racked up magazines of gossip on "celebrities"....
that's just not real to me.... i'm dead from most the stuff i hear and...

paint the town blue
who's "your person"? what would you imagine you two do?; here's something sort of new-why go red when one could paint the town blue? minus drawling much attention-
meaning solitude for two-diving deep into that dreamy "piscean" point of view; going hookie from the "normal"-to escape to something new; the world is ones' amusement park-just a carefree attitude....
who doesn't want adventure, and to say f most the "rules"; though that's all just wishful thinking, when life has one super glued....

The Goddess Within
Dormant she lay
For decades
Lay in chains
In a dungeon of belief
Her pious slaver
Playing “servant” while
Subjugating secrets
Unfairly secreted away
She finally broke the chains
But habit, her new keeper,
Kept her broken
Kept her fearful in the dark
Soul shattered and ashamed
Guilty of her power, her divinity
Until you came
Gently you crept
Softly you sang
Secretly you dressed the pain
With bandages of love
Bringing the balm of a new belief
A new faith
The powerful...

"fun club"(the drinks, the woman, weed etc.)( illusion overkill) ("introvert/loner perspective")
all "fun" with no worries; party over there; everything one thinks one wants-one swear to "God" it's clear....
it all just seems adventurous-with all the over emphasis; attention minus resistance-the "game" is very "fair...."
that long outstretched suspension bridge-to cross it is a dare;
they're showing out-they're showing off-one's been conditioned just to stare....one may build up resistance and pretend to not much care....
either side of the fence-one's gonna miss what's...

set free
separated from "awakeness"; separated from one's sleep/dreams; one's soul forever yearning for eternity of peace....what on earth is here for me; one is taught that one has purpose-while one's soul "exists" to flee....

all I've got....
my "rosed colored" glasses; ideal thoughts imagined; thoughts like "utopian magic" in the back of one's head steady nagging.... the truth about life is too tragic....
each day could be last, before passed in a casket; while the ball just keeps rolling like lottery baskets; "covid's" exposing the fact we need "masks" and it's deeper than "pandemic" episodes that are happening.....
my brain's too reactive; feeling subjective to societal pull/pool of the madness....all I've got is "poetry" as a temporary passage.... ...

the rebel's/"loner's""(high level)introvert's perspective
you against the world....
they'll never understand your brain; you'll live as well as die against the grain;
you'll cut so called ties that weren't meant to be maintained; you understand that life is ultimately a fowl unstable game....
others are/look better from afar; for better or worse either way they'll leave a mark on your heart; best not to "know" who "they" are.... too close for "comfort" is one of several phrases a rebel/loner should never disregard;

Planet Tree
The trees
Began waving at each other
Aided by a quickening breeze
Beneath the earthen ground
Hands were held
Connecting
Communicating
Without prejudice
Peaceful
Unbiased
Non-judgemental
Whether sapling
Or mother tree
Silver Birch, Oak, Yew Beech
Cherry Blossom, Apple, Pear, Plum
Weeping Willow, Walnut, Acacia
All revelled
In each others beauty
And individualism
No matter what creed
Or breed
One fine day
This wood wide web
Decide
To up their roots
And depart

Stripping back
..hands taken
A journey
Into the trees
Time to get away
Perhaps just now
Let not minutes be our guide
Second hand clothes
Fall to the forrest floor
We can be anything
Our souls can navigate
Finding common purpose
A Revelation of completeness
Your hands cover mine
Tenderness floats
Feelings evolve
Losing us along the way
We melt into the back ground
......the echoing green
Hours pass for us
Lover's hidden in the long grass
We wonder at this ...

Come undone....
She's
Looking to
Expand
Little worlds
Demolish walls
Break chains
Of constant want......
Where memory
Weighs heavy
Discolouring the heavens
Leading her astray
Sabotaging dreams
That sleep may never come
And rest evades
Silently she cries
Opening a soul so raw
Pleading
Fearing the worse.......
Hiding her eyes
She wears a mask
Like always
Afraid of the truth
Having been dependant on lies
Yet there's something outside
Calling her name
Beckoning her...
