Continental Drift("soul tribe")
isolation doesn't have to happen- though unfortunately happens in nature.... for one reason or another- by choice or otherwise due to the state of ones' environment....
you shouldn't have to feel like a "blacksheep" or misunderstood in any way.... you shouldn't have to feel like you'll feel lonely for the rest of your life....
us humans always overcomplicate everything....

October Poems 2024 >> the heavens declare
A poem for each day of the month in which I was born
October 16
the heavens declare
i’m writing these poems for conflicts and wars,
that they may be read through the horns
that bellow out orders, in mesquite and thorns,
that deepen foul wounds and fresh scars.
i’m writing these poems for the hospital bed
that host broken bodies and minds,
to open closed curtains and roll back stiff blinds,
and give hope to those not yet dead.
i’m writing these poems for prison and cell,
where criminals plot while they wait, ...

...down Time
I could see every note
Every rudiment down to the last beat
Sticks bouncing smoothly on the snare
As I marked time with my feet
I remember bullets whizzing by
Amid vociferous explosions and screams
A deafening quiet for a second
When soldiers saw me running in the street
I still recall the loud thunder
When lightning hit that tree behind our home
Me, sprinting fast and scared
Feeling a chill down to my bones
But now when I run, I hear my breath
With a steady rhythm in my mind
Every pulse perfectly played ...
Every rudiment down to the last beat
Sticks bouncing smoothly on the snare
As I marked time with my feet
I remember bullets whizzing by
Amid vociferous explosions and screams
A deafening quiet for a second
When soldiers saw me running in the street
I still recall the loud thunder
When lightning hit that tree behind our home
Me, sprinting fast and scared
Feeling a chill down to my bones
But now when I run, I hear my breath
With a steady rhythm in my mind
Every pulse perfectly played ...

Lost in the deep
I sink in
Into the deep
The hue of indigo blue
The sun shines through
The breath replaced by bubbles
That float to the top
I wonder if I should stop
Sinking
The further I go
The more I let go
The light
captures my eyes
Maybe, I might
Hold on a little longer
A stronger
arm pulls me out
I let out the air I’d held
My skin is pale
I yell in shock
I met a kind face
His shoes were misplaced
I was lost in the dark
But you were the spark
That pulled me out
What were we...
Into the deep
The hue of indigo blue
The sun shines through
The breath replaced by bubbles
That float to the top
I wonder if I should stop
Sinking
The further I go
The more I let go
The light
captures my eyes
Maybe, I might
Hold on a little longer
A stronger
arm pulls me out
I let out the air I’d held
My skin is pale
I yell in shock
I met a kind face
His shoes were misplaced
I was lost in the dark
But you were the spark
That pulled me out

Reminiscing
Morning sounds,
The wind howls
In a smooth tone
I am not alone
I face each day
By the bay
In a house on stilts
Breathing in the ocean air
Wondering if you’re still there
The kind sea
Much like a lost memory
I hold on
For I was very fond
A cup of coffee in hand
I had plans
Obligations,
All moving in a swift clockwork rotation
I stare at a raging sea
I wonder if you miss me
The wind howls
In a smooth tone
I am not alone
I face each day
By the bay
In a house on stilts
Breathing in the ocean air
Wondering if you’re still there
The kind sea
Much like a lost memory
I hold on
For I was very fond
A cup of coffee in hand
I had plans
Obligations,
All moving in a swift clockwork rotation
I stare at a raging sea
I wonder if you miss me

Sweet dreams
The petals drift off to an unforeseen land
While the wind whispers
Of Nothing but peace
And bittersweet sleep
I drift off to my dreams
The ones I live to see
I breathe a sigh
When the sun had to rise
I bid my goodbye
And hoped to see them again
I don’t know where to begin
While the wind whispers
Of Nothing but peace
And bittersweet sleep
I drift off to my dreams
The ones I live to see
I breathe a sigh
When the sun had to rise
I bid my goodbye
And hoped to see them again
I don’t know where to begin

Brandenburg Gate
The air seems stale
The light is clouded
With the heavy veil
Of a broken fate
I walk the gallows walk
One step at a time
Closer to freedoms tale
Of the Brandenburg Gate
The air is fresher the dreams are brighter
The love is sweeter and destiny higher
The pain is lessened and the people don't hate
The long gallows walk to the Brandenburg Gate
The light is clouded
With the heavy veil
Of a broken fate
I walk the gallows walk
One step at a time
Closer to freedoms tale
Of the Brandenburg Gate
The air is fresher the dreams are brighter
The love is sweeter and destiny higher
The pain is lessened and the people don't hate
The long gallows walk to the Brandenburg Gate

A Dummy and his Man
A man and his dummy
(Wayland and madame)
Ran into a ventriloquist
Wanted to get both sides
Man and his puppet
But he said I had to decide
Who I wanted to talk to
I thought they were…one and the same
But he had two sides
The side of a dummy
And his true life
Didn’t think I would have to make a choice
But it’s clear to see
That the man and his dummy
Are two separate beings
They’re two separate beings
Just two separate beings
The man puts him on the shelf
And then the...

GREATER PLAN IN MOTION
Here I am as I sit here within my own chains of thoughts, here amongst the elements that give me. MUCH of what that brings me my thoughts of tranquility. For sure we need to take a moment, to just analyze the deepness of our deepest thoughts. As it is necessary to understand that what we, sometimes have to learn to go through. It's just another time to refocus of our thoughts, that we have to learn how things really work. Within this new world of dictatorship and order. Just as much we can try to denie the truth of what we really see 👁️ For the world has gotten worser not...

Calloused
I've prayed on my knees until my callouses turned into stone. Prayers unheard, Lord am I alone?
I've flooded this earth with my very tears and pounded the dirt until it shook with fear.
I pleaded for you to lend me your ear.
I've scavenged my soul to make it whole.
Surviving wars did take it's toll.
Lord I just want to know.
Why do you let the Devil temp me so?

Wished
Fringes fray.
People stray.
Everything is just fine.
What a wonderful life.
What a wonderful life.
It's no wonder I can't decide to divide myself from past to present.
I gift myself wrapped problems.
Do you ever wander to feel unbound?
I loved to live alive.
Sometimes you get what you ask for,
Just asked you to stop alright?
In life dont be a wisher because I wished upon the stars.
We fell but I fell apart.
Happy worthday!
I am worth more then this.
Romance another day.
Lets just sit and burn the night...
