Heaven Takes Away
Back then...
Granny had said that I was a particular child.
How I spent too much time questioning all
of the unreasonable things.
That I was tiresome to her,
when she'd take me to church, and
I wouldn't sit still while listening
to the nonsense of some mortal man
on a stage.
Because I could talk to God anytime,
without that interpreter giving me
his own version.
I'd tell granny, God doesn't see it that way.
She'd just shush me, sometimes handing me
a half-stick of gum...

MY MUSE RESURRECTED ME
My heart was bound
in chains feeling the
pains of losing you.
The attention given
by others didn't heal;
only served as a reminder.
Offers of endless pleasure
by the Nymphs on Erotic
shorelines were futile..
THEN!
OH THEN!
CLIO, the daughter
of Zeus, the
Muse of History; one
of the nine Muses,
came to me in a vision
and beautiful poetry;
with a message of hope..
I came alive as she rang
my doorbell. OMG! MY
Muse resurrected me back
to erotic adventures never
dreamed of. I bow daily...
in chains feeling the
pains of losing you.
The attention given
by others didn't heal;
only served as a reminder.
Offers of endless pleasure
by the Nymphs on Erotic
shorelines were futile..
THEN!

The Found
Feathery dandelions in zephyrs
Pearline stream across the scene
Polemic dream prolific crossing
Traversing verse – No reversing
Wing span the width of self study
Radiant radius – Heart felt svelte
Displacing gold rays cast in vast
Vestiges in traces/faces of places
Singular as stellar daytime altar
Exalted – Exacted epoch trance
Entranced - As self taught solar
Soul of a heart of an art of a hole
Shadows cast in simulation speeds
Roots of weeds as the silence below
Winged insect takes flight on wings ...

Technical Difficulty
Straight to the brain making the memory reset
Stopping folks in mid-stroke from finishing sex,
“The performance delivered can be interpreted as good
That is why the masses chant ‘fuck Mr. Rogers Neighborhood’,
“With smooth beat downs and action that flow quick
Coming through the television like a hard-ass brick,
“Making the competition last stage Covid sick
Having motherfuckas run to the TV after they shit,
“So put the weak to bed or send them outside
This is some wicked shit and not for innocent eyes,
“If...

The Touch Of Infinity (Shapeshifter- Desert Warrior)
Two hearts that beat as one
Tender words spoken, easier said than done
Caution thrown to the wind
Emotions and feelings surrendered, a touch of love when our Chi's slowly blend
Euphoric rush, once my soft purrs and his throaty groans to ether we send
Holding tightly and steadfast this is our beginning, infinity has no end
He allows me to silently animate in my suspend, and emotionally recommend
In the cradle of our stolen moments
Words mingled, whispered, entwined
Eight, creeping to a celestial nine ...

teenage sluts
sordid fiend I am usure who I am
there are so many identities within me
craving their own way
it hasn't always been true
I heard only one voice as a baby
if the others were there I blocked them out
romance a lover who won't covet me in a jealous nature
I'm a writer and I love to interact with the souls of people
some of the spirits get major crushes on the people I talk to
but they in the immortal sense are fifteen years old
they sometimes add their two cents to the whole nine yards
I am content to listen to their chatter ...

looking back at just before the end ..
more had been born
than had died, although, my friend, all things
being equal,
I have no doubt that no one
survived ..

Descent
I crossed into transition
And you froze
I fell from no high estate
Into eyes
Certain looks
That lead at last to cleavage
Your capote
Waving red to rage the bull
Then pulled away
Side stepping the charge
In your custom made torero suit
How do you breath
In the clothes you wedge into
Designed and worn with purpose
Yet I'm the the one who's breathless
In Eden once was common tongue
Shared by man...
And you froze
I fell from no high estate
Into eyes
Certain looks
That lead at last to cleavage
Your capote
Waving red to rage the bull
Then pulled away
Side stepping the charge
In your custom made torero suit
How do you breath
In the clothes you wedge into
Designed and worn with purpose
Yet I'm the the one who's breathless
In Eden once was common tongue
Shared by man...

Cosmic Dancer
You don't have a name
You know nothing
You are a blank slate
There is a void inside of you
A void of infinite possibilities
A void of boundless resources
A golden thread in your soul spans
From mists of ancient time to
Present and to future, allowing you
Access to vaults of ancient wisdom,
Modern achievements and
Future manifestations of utopias
You are an eternal cosmic dancer
Whirling between the dimensions
Leading the circle of awakened souls
You are the bidge between the
Materialistic world and...

Lapidarious
21/30
Lapidarious
I never started out to be
a conformist
riding along keeping my thoughts to myself
World events
Current events
have a way of changing
altering a mind
Mindset drummed into from childbirth
A pain filled upbringing
continued onto young adulthood
brings about a type of rebellion
and a Big Mouth
often to the point of blabber
without pre-thought
i was probably destined to travel
all the roads filled with
sharp rocks, glass………thorns
i can handle the hurts ...

one single moment
in the now
can alter a hundred
years forward
careful where you
proceed
lest the future
finds you a fool

Inspiration Requiem
Inspiration Requiem
It is amazing
how long an eclipse
can seem
to churn on.....
and yet
these vapid
and nullifying
instances
are their own source
of inspiration.
There is
a humble nobility
in painting
that waning
instability
even
as we fall
off a roof....
a zenlike quality
of seeing despair
as the staircase
to moonlight.
