"was never here...."
sound asleep- there's no trace of "me"; a glimpse of an abyss- of eternity; was never here- but let's pretend i was- i truly never cared to "play the game" of- how long could one stay above- the ground and reasonably sane....
truths or dares- hide and seeks- conversations with an idea of at least one imaginary entity- about how could this all be? starting with the family tree....
.... asking questions to the entity- like why and what is this all for? most waking moments i want that path of least resistance-light with ease...

Living in denial
Your words say everything I need to hear
A cutting remark disguised with a hug
Is almost too much to bare
There used to be love
Where contempt now resides
I try my best but nothing I do is right
Where do we go from here
We're both in lost worlds
With no escape route clear
A slap in the face stings for awhile
But living in misery
Is just life wasted, living in denial
A cutting remark disguised with a hug
Is almost too much to bare
There used to be love
Where contempt now resides
I try my best but nothing I do is right
Where do we go from here
We're both in lost worlds
With no escape route clear
A slap in the face stings for awhile
But living in misery
Is just life wasted, living in denial

Intelligence of nature
nature knows best
accept the easy path, yet do not rest
be a rock, carved in the stream
let life rip you apart
& rejoice, once again
Kamaloca, on and off
time quickens, as it must.
all the bars
to them prison cells
been left unlocked
a beacon for the moth
Step out side, ride the night,
wild and raw, unthinking,
deconstruct time
let loose, your mind.

Rode Hard And Put Away Wet
She was standing there caught red handed
Grasping at straws
At the end of her rope
Burning the midnight oil
I was in the same boat
Looking at turning over a new leaf
But I was caught between a rock and a hard place Ready to throw in the towel
I approached her to break the ice
She said it would cost an arm and a leg
So I decided to bite the bullet
And we hit the sack
That's when she let the cat out of the bag
And offered a piece of...

Green House
I am one- one out of the not so many-
that sees, & feels deeply the illusion- the dead end;
every waking moment- this "some-body"-
housing a flickery flame flighty energy;
buried alive while at the same time within as well as extension of the "belly of the beast....
no wings to fly away- weighed down by the force of gravity;
a "greenhouse", is the one and only dream-that
one's soul encased in this fleshy machine seeks;
Ideally the best quality of endless weed-
to take...

I TOO DESCEND
Some fresh bones, and designer dress
distorted hopes, cataract vision
hardly any better the face of the body
and if there is a soul, the soul hears
the map guides the mind's midnight
but the destination is different
deception is courage
they know the end of journey
and get down when the train stops
I too descend
--R K Singh

"Poetic Justice "
aspirations to engage the right side of this brain as much as the left; there are blockages that occasionally make me want to literally bull rush my head- into concrete wall....
as if I could ever express or manifest something at all so profound that it resurrects necessary spirits from the dead- to somehow help magically bring about a way to save those that were never meant for this earthly🌎 existential dread....
because no matter where one goes- there one is; a species bearing witness to...

Skeletons out of the closet!
From a very young age
I've always loved skeletons
and I kept all those I found
along the path of this life...
I have no idea why but apparently
they all want to come out of the closet
so suddenly... unexpectedly.
In the next minute, probably!

astronauts & aliens
out of sight- out of mind; not in trouble- how I like; some expectations are too high; so many times- i feel I've "died";
a ladder that ones' forced to climb; I'm living for a different high; a "space cadet" I am for life; I'm out of place with gravity- an "outter space" is what one seeks;
here on earth- there's flack recieved; haunted here- with tragic themes; there's crap in "dreams" that crashes sleep;
perhaps no earthly place to seek- where it's safe...

Night Walk
I took a walk through the tapestry of night,
where streetlamps stitched their gold tight across midnight’s throat—
not stars, but close enough to mimic light,
to guard the paths where restless shadows are rubies.
A chorus hummed through bones of bending trees,
the wind’s tender grasp combed through the thorny thicket.
Far above, in blackened galaxies,
starlight blew its kisses—thick as good luck & hope.
The moon, ripe as a strawberry, dripped its glow,
and climbed the clouds like stairs, playing calipee. ...

Unspoken words
wide blue sky- wide spread of green grass; silent sunrise; eyes awakened wide- upon nature's deep.... grasp;
soul yearns- so much- to detach- from its.... flesh covered bones of a.... "home".... its bed full of.... nerves.... its ocean of.... blood;
what.... does.... it really mean- to.... re-lax?
to.... soak in a pool.... full- of.... cool?....while- in a skin soothing sun joined with breeze of the wind?
while the sounds of the.... trees speak to.... lung's oxygen....
