Sobriety and Reality
In between smiles,
The weight of my mistakes
Crush my very existence.
Small joys slip through the cracks.
Self hatred and self flagellation
Feed each other's gluttonous mouths
As they consume all that is left of me.
I no longer even take myself seriously.
Everyone is a mirror that reflects
Back the worst pieces of me
No matter the effort
To bring them joy
Or myself peace.
I am made up of a dopamine crash
Perpetually falling,
Muscles tensed,
Waiting to splatter on the bottom...
Awaiting a confirmation,...
The weight of my mistakes
Crush my very existence.
Small joys slip through the cracks.
Self hatred and self flagellation
Feed each other's gluttonous mouths
As they consume all that is left of me.
I no longer even take myself seriously.
Everyone is a mirror that reflects
Back the worst pieces of me
No matter the effort
To bring them joy
Or myself peace.
I am made up of a dopamine crash
Perpetually falling,
Muscles tensed,
Waiting to splatter on the bottom...
Awaiting a confirmation,...

Autumn Whispers
The sun burns brightly in the sky
while Summer continues its sultry stay.
Parched grasses sway and seem to sigh
As night soon overcomes the day.
Condensation drips down crystal glass
Inside which cold liquid swirls.
The taste of soda seems a little crisper
As we hear the faint Autumn Whispers.
Reassuring us with sudden coolness on the wind
Autumn will soon be here again.
Shorts and bikinis give way to sweaters and boots,
I feel my soul stirring deep within its roots.
Soon, Summer will have to give up her reign ...
while Summer continues its sultry stay.
Parched grasses sway and seem to sigh
As night soon overcomes the day.
Condensation drips down crystal glass
Inside which cold liquid swirls.
The taste of soda seems a little crisper
As we hear the faint Autumn Whispers.
Reassuring us with sudden coolness on the wind
Autumn will soon be here again.
Shorts and bikinis give way to sweaters and boots,
I feel my soul stirring deep within its roots.
Soon, Summer will have to give up her reign ...

the river//the rain
The river is rising,
the river is rising,
the water is coming to wash it away.
To let it all go, to let it all fade.
Time to shake hands with your past,
and make steps towards who you want to be.
I don’t even know what that means.
I wasn’t even hardly listening.
Oh, how the palm trees sighed.
Oh, how we felt those nights.
Lost in a fog, and the river is rising.
Coming to wash it away,
to rinse the dirt off,
the tears are free to fall short
and we’re free to try to make things work,
and you’re free to stay...
the river is rising,
the water is coming to wash it away.
To let it all go, to let it all fade.
Time to shake hands with your past,

I don’t even know what that means.
I wasn’t even hardly listening.
Oh, how the palm trees sighed.
Oh, how we felt those nights.
Lost in a fog, and the river is rising.
Coming to wash it away,
to rinse the dirt off,
the tears are free to fall short
and we’re free to try to make things work,
and you’re free to stay...

Eulogy of The Horizon
What is spring but the planned pregnancy of nature?
Like rebirth on routine and conveyor belt harvesting
Processed beauty bringing forth bloom like the offspring of mother nature
Yet we exploit her young and speak a monotonous metaphor
How hard it is to see a rose knowing it will wilt?
In all the naked glory of the fields for a calendar spread
And yet it seems she makes for a better centerfold
Like if the world is exploitable then nothing is off limits
Why are we so prone to showcase tragedy?
Like winter is the frost bite of...
Like rebirth on routine and conveyor belt harvesting
Processed beauty bringing forth bloom like the offspring of mother nature
Yet we exploit her young and speak a monotonous metaphor

And yet it seems she makes for a better centerfold
Like if the world is exploitable then nothing is off limits
Why are we so prone to showcase tragedy?
Like winter is the frost bite of...

Crisp waters as morning fog rises
With the sun of today reflecting
On memories of my progeny
All awaiting for something
I wish I knew
All the voices echo through the
Canyons like electric pulses
Stimulating stillness internally
Rising like rainbows rippling
The supltley in today
Yesterday is galling from burden
Bare on my skin, musty and old
Now black green checkered balm
Sifting sand in aging hands
Motionless in this matrix
Garland's ecapitulation urges
For our tenure is not over ...
With the sun of today reflecting
On memories of my progeny
All awaiting for something
I wish I knew
All the voices echo through the
Canyons like electric pulses
Stimulating stillness internally
Rising like rainbows rippling

Yesterday is galling from burden
Bare on my skin, musty and old
Now black green checkered balm
Sifting sand in aging hands
Motionless in this matrix

FALL'S ANTIDOTE TO ARTIFICE (10-6-2010, a.m., Palm Springs, California)
this fall
is not eclectic
high tech
digital electric
nor will it be
perceived
fully experienced
or appreciated
by most people
for what it
simply is
but will still
remain transcendent
for some
for those who can
just as
its always been
in its innate
natural essence
beyond the distraction
influence
and reach
of all those
man made
artificial things
which now
so densely permeate
and completely
overwhelms
this our present
only...

Take it , read well.
Take this empty space , Fill it well.
Take this silence , Listen well.
Nothing left to offer.
Nothing left to give.
Take this freedom , use it well.
Take this time , spend it well.
Nothing left to say.
Nothing left to do.
Take this life , live it well.
Take this heart , care for it well.
Nothing left to be.
Nothing left to see.
Take this goodbye , lock it in keep.
Take this smile , remember it's curve.
Nothing left to hope.
Nothing left to fight.
Take hope and dreams , Follow them.
Take freedom...
Take this silence , Listen well.
Nothing left to offer.
Nothing left to give.
Take this freedom , use it well.
Take this time , spend it well.
Nothing left to say.
Nothing left to do.
Take this life , live it well.
Take this heart , care for it well.
Nothing left to be.
Nothing left to see.
Take this goodbye , lock it in keep.
Take this smile , remember it's curve.
Nothing left to hope.
Nothing left to fight.
Take hope and dreams , Follow them.
Take freedom...
