a Father
He was like an open canister filled with candy to a child
To an adult, he's like a mountain of ice.
The calm surface with intelligence and strength of a million souls within
He knows when to crumble,
but will always stand tall when you need him to.
He is a martyr,
a man who will stand in the path of a hurricane,
to hold it off,
to save the honor of his only born.
A craftsman who will die daily to make ends meet
and create a utopia and blind his offspring from the demons around…
He is perfect in more ways than one
I...

Drain The Blood
The heart is wise kiddo
When all that remains kiddo
Is your reflection in the hall of mirrors
And when i'm gone
Did anyone bother asking you kiddo?
Or did you just get led from A to B?
i still remember the last words kiddo
Do you believe the lies kiddo
Or do you know loves truth
As far as your mother and i kiddo
For me to hate her i'd be hating you
Ask her sometime how she feels
If she's directing hate to me
She's hating you kiddo
When all that remains kiddo
Is your reflection in the hall of mirrors
And when i'm gone
Did anyone bother asking you kiddo?
Or did you just get led from A to B?
i still remember the last words kiddo
Do you believe the lies kiddo
Or do you know loves truth
As far as your mother and i kiddo
For me to hate her i'd be hating you
Ask her sometime how she feels
If she's directing hate to me
She's hating you kiddo

The Sixth Son From The Only Son Of Six
I wonder if his life flashed
before his eyes before he died
My life crashed before my eyes then I sighed
In a mad dash to the ash
Running from the worst hurt
From the last bash smashing
Head on into the first crash Thrashing from the vastness of the amassed past
Outlasting the lashing out cashed out
From the casting out hashing it out as a castaway
Passed away giving in from the passing out
With no doubt about the what
I'm the who when there's nowhere left but right there
With the know how but not the why now
Is it...

From the casting out hashing it out as a castaway
Passed away giving in from the passing out

stirring the black unknown
I am betwixt two worlds
one is my home
the other a journey of discovery
I remain in both places at once
discovering earth while I'm at home on a throne
I love it here I feel free
but I hear my father telling me to grow up
that I'm needed back at court
I never want to go back
well not as royalty
I prefer the commoner's seats
they have all the action
I prefer a more hands on personal touch
on the ground tasting so much of what is to be alive
I want to explore deep space ...

Father's Day 2022
Today is Father's Day but I have no father to celebrate this day with. Dad died nearly nine years ago on July 13, 2013. Dad did some terrible things but he was a good provider.
Dad worked hard for forty years or longer. He worked at a place called "Berkline" for several years and he worked at a place called "Woodcraft" for thirty-five years.
Because I have Schizophrenia, I've never been able to work. Dad supported me even after I became an adult. May he Rest In Peace. If you still have your father, go visit him today or call him. Let him know how much you care.

our mischievous kinship
You loom.
Palpable in presence,
mischief that almost permeates,
so thick it lays
in laughter's swirling air
I only hear
Just those things needed
No longer plagued
with those cold disassociated ends.
Horrific dark, abated
Ohh, how fortunate
to a mind's unusual quirk
I actively listen,
at last, ready to ingest
all...

Stay Alive/Outsider
The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart,
And saves such as have a contrite spirit.
Psalm 34:18
STAY ALIVE (you can't save your soul...)
Trying to piece the heart back together
All the right words that come out wrong
Somewhere between hope and brokenness
Speaking of love when it just feels like a song
Bring us back from mere words and into reality
When circumstances are lies
Chains are an illusion when you don't know that you're free
We're still learning to open our eyes
The story tells of our...

daddy
my dad was a crop dusting pilot
no pretenses there he was a good ole boy
he was a proud man and a shit kicker
cowboy boots and all
a real womanizer
he loved the ladies
he had a love of guns too
but his soft spot was reserved for his different little girl
I liked to read and had a high intellect
but I was odd
down deep I think my dad knew
I would never fit
he drew hard lines for me
and I never crossed them
until I did
what did my dad know he thought in simple terms
black and white
I was...

Mandatory for dad's garden
grandaddy's too
planted amongst tomatoes
and peppers
to chase the pests away
almost stubborn as dandelions
but wanted
Mixed flame flowers
bloom all through summer
stay steady through fall
to greet leaves
gathering on the ground
to meet them
They are strong
sturdy and humble
braving hurricanes
and lack of rain
a connection
to the men I come from
as I plant them
every year
to keep the vegetables company

You Know What's Funny
The longer this drags on Kiddo
You and I are going to have one helluva fireside chat
The silence broken by that warm familiar crackling of slow burning logs
I imagine your unfamiliar face
A face last our eyes met
you had yet to turn four
I picture those blue eyes silently reflecting
Father in absentia
As a tiny smile radiates more warmth than any dying sun ever could
Those silent nanosecond moments speak louder than a brass band
Here we are kiddo
Tears and cannabis
it's how daddy does therapy ...

Concerning Lee
I have
Just become
A father.
It was
The happiest moment
In my life.
I hope
I will
Live a life
That
Won’t disappoint him.’
