Twisted Truths
Blindfolded
and stuffed into this wagon
Subjected
to more than you can handle
Pressuring
ensure acceleration
Gravity
cannot restrain the tension
Endlessly
can't you see
there are no limitations
Stability
a term that has no meaning
Set me free
infinity revealing
Deaden my awareness of conclusions
Persistent
while reasoning delusions
Lift the weight of the world from my shoulders
back and forth we live with unresolved problems
and stuffed into this wagon
Subjected
to more than you can handle
Pressuring
ensure acceleration
Gravity
cannot restrain the tension
Endlessly
can't you see
there are no limitations
Stability
a term that has no meaning
Set me free
infinity revealing
Deaden my awareness of conclusions
Persistent
while reasoning delusions
Lift the weight of the world from my shoulders
back and forth we live with unresolved problems

hallelujah
the red of you
dazzled my eyes
so I plucked them out
in the darkness, I grew
morbid thoughts of hallelujahs
at midnight
saw me shaken
I ate the bitter pill of sin
my flesh it ruled
so I put on a new skin
it fits tight
I feel strangled
I rebel against the notion
of crows mocking me
inside my plight
in hell, I found myself free
with knowledge I navigate
stepstones of glass
see through pits of danger
I hopscotch out
leading the way
for...

THE SMILE OF A STRANGER (INSPIRED BY NIZANA POEM)
The smile of a stranger
made me wonder: "Danger?"
when his smile I returned
as my hot desires burned.
Was I being too free
with my territory?
What hurt was I taking
for chance of 'lovemaking'?
He passed on his way
with breezy "Good day!"
and to my relief
as if dodged a thief.

Russian roulette
17 of 30
it's never been my immediate go-to
drowning my emotions in the contents of a bottle
not much point...
when it takes so little to knock me on my ass
& when I do...it's equal odds...
it might distance me from the haunting...
...or it could cause me to wallow
no way to be sure
still...
I load that weapon with a single shot
take my chances & spin the chamber
just on the off chance I might escape the pain
then reel off toward whichever death it leads me
if...even for a minute...there's any hope to be...

Elysian Nights
I wish a place for all of us
Washed by the beams of a full moon
Upon a strand of bright nimbus
With the musical spheres in tune;
Where with angel sight I might see
The warped reaches of deepest space,
Using an Olympic clarity
Only immortals could embrace,
And I would wish wings for such skies
To match such awesome sight, with flight,
From lunar sundown to sunrise
And over everything else at night...
Where I'd always be wide awake,
Anticipating daybreak!
Washed by the beams of a full moon
Upon a strand of bright nimbus
With the musical spheres in tune;
Where with angel sight I might see
The warped reaches of deepest space,
Using an Olympic clarity
Only immortals could embrace,
And I would wish wings for such skies
To match such awesome sight, with flight,
From lunar sundown to sunrise
And over everything else at night...
Where I'd always be wide awake,
Anticipating daybreak!

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...

There is No Password
Flying under the radar
Off course on purpose
Blackened wings
Off the grid
If you want to find me
There is no password
But there is a code
Remember what I told you
My protectors are none
My allies have faded
My course is clear
New frontiers await
Off course on purpose
Blackened wings
Off the grid
If you want to find me
There is no password
But there is a code
Remember what I told you
My protectors are none
My allies have faded
My course is clear
New frontiers await

...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 ...

distant shores
i stand
easily
on sand,
watching
the waves
come
and go,
back and
forth,
my soul
fantasizes
about going
places,
and as i
stand at
the
beginning
of my
world,
i imagine
touching
those
distant
shores.

Capricorn
1+6=7
7 is God.
16 is Hell.
I'm on fire.
Extinguishing the pyre.
With a name, 5,
Freedom of self.
Escape reality.
Take on, duality.
Achieve the manor,
Of wisdom and filth.
A snake in your garden.
Truths that harden,
A heart of energy.
A world that was built.
Always on fire.
Out of the ashes.
Higher and higher.
No cycle can break me.
I'm out of this world.
Life's a satire.
Too much work, and no hires.
Too much weight on my shoulders,
Just for a...

Dark Horse
I was thirty, when I was ten.
~
When you anointed me, with fists
it caused me a crown
When the points brought blood
you drew liquid red slashes
upon my downturned cheeks
Then you paraded me around the room
pulling me along by my matted hair
With each stumble, reminding me
that if I fell yet again
I wouldn't walk anymore that day
As fear would cause me to stay
down
The oddest part, including the other things
was how the lights were always on
and always during the day ...

Coaching Coursing
Lots of leadership, little joy,
in the trenches of bureaucracy.
Forced smiles, empty looks,
in a sea of orders, lost dreams.
Endless meetings,
unrealistic goals,
constant pressure,
brutal burdens.
Where did the lightness
of being go?
Between spreadsheets,
no one can see.
Hours and hours
for no reason,
Walls echoe with frustration.
Creativity under lock and key.
The soul cries for freedom.
Forgotten in a dark corner,
talents are lost on the wall.
Bosses...
in the trenches of bureaucracy.
Forced smiles, empty looks,
in a sea of orders, lost dreams.
Endless meetings,
unrealistic goals,
constant pressure,
brutal burdens.
Where did the lightness
of being go?
Between spreadsheets,
no one can see.
Hours and hours
for no reason,
Walls echoe with frustration.
Creativity under lock and key.
The soul cries for freedom.
Forgotten in a dark corner,
talents are lost on the wall.
Bosses...
