love, disappointment and doubt
like raw meat thrown
across a butcher's
block waiting for
the cleaver
a black eye by the
play ground bully
a dog running away
in fear of the bone
a God who eschews
worship
the sky becoming too
tired to hold itself
aloft in the firmament
the disappointment in
pasta that is not al
dente
I will not say I love you
forever
forever came and went
a long time ago
I will not speak of your
beauty
beauty is in the gun...

else where....
what's next? what's after this? if one expressed times 10 what one wanted to manifest- would it be working; could it be something if anything at all-half worth it?
mind couldn't be more open; one's body on this plane-though it does feel as if one's essence else where exists;
so that is all one ever hopes for; to be freed from what ever this experience here in this "realm" is;
because one's soul doesn't gravitate to most of one's surroundings; ready to "graduate" in another sense;
i hardly care...

A Momentary Reprieve
2:45 and
it's quittin' time;
Roll down the sleeves
and bolt from the hive.
Jump in the car
with the top rolled back;
With music a-blarin',
I'm off with a crack.
I cruze through town
with a slight bit of sorrow;
For I must return
to the drudge in the 'morrow.
it's quittin' time;

must be nice....what it must feel like
to be adorned; to be wanted badly; the "gift" and "curse" of it all; must be nice, what it must feel like to give another's pulse rhythm like the clock....
not sure what to make of "love" in such a world so cruel.... though then again "love" is understanding that.... if lust could make a man's heart stop.... if a storm had human form.... a dream, a nightmare.... everything in between....
depicted on screen-one has-one time or another seen the act of an ideal "match" of sorts- a chemistry worth...

green pastures
happy place-you ask? laying pon acres of green grass-smoking picnic basket full of potent plants; weather forecast never bad....
far off from societal programs;
they can have this world-i do not want it....

sun, blue skies and green grass....
wish I could put an order in; that one way pill pass; ticket to paradise-i could earn my toe tag to that song on blast;
that next deep sleep; god-how i'd like it to be my last; that "born sinner-please don't kill my vibe" Kendrick instrumental; yeah-perfect-i'll also take some of that....
I'm feeling those green pastures background in that video-yes- I'd like the drop off spot to resemble that; i want to leave so relaxed beforehand-high as a kite with smiles and laughs.... ...

life & death
Life & Death
the juggle between the two; how one wants to live versus die-the "options" available & unavailable....
what does one do, when death is on the mind over life? check in with a doc, therapist? a 1-800 hotline? doesn't sound like the "effective" move....
to awaken from a long sleep-just to want to go back.... seeing societal events repeat through some "news" outlet ....

lazy river
lazy river
running through
fertile grounds,
tasting
the dust
as you travel,
carrying
moments
of truth,
to their birth,
to their death,
feel that glorious
life blood
trembling
from each
passing wound
running downhill.

word play exercise
paper weight"-one's mind was once upon a time; because the wind-and how it always blew;
then finally came the time for-
embracing grapes-with vines which produced, an old aged wine bought- overdue;
yet to grab, get bagged and buy;
"whisked"(whiskey) away-by bitter taste as of late-to help make this wretched fine;
the only time one cares to chase-and goes it smooth each every time;
