The Stallion
turning to the openness of the desert my soul flies free
there is deep magic here a colt on his first run
racing the wind it is caught up in the wonderment of the moment
an Arabian stallion praising the sun and worshipping the earth below
running in concert with her voice
a sentient being in love with his world
he understands the shifting winds
leading him onward
the summer rains lead to an oasis
he can smell the delicate outpouring from heaven
happiness is freedom from being part of the herd
lawless and chasing his...

BLACK FANGS (translated for an easier horizontal read)
Bloodthirsty barren broken bats brutally believe
Leftover lucifer ladened lackluster lives leave
As angels angrily abandon anxiety
Cannibalistic cynicism compliancy
Knowing knowledgeable knives kill
Fatalistic fantasy finally filled
As avid assassins appear abnormal
Nourished nativism narcissism normal
Grasping grinding gasping grievances get gnashed
Society successfully silenced six senses slashed
Leftover lucifer ladened lackluster lives leave
As angels angrily abandon anxiety
Cannibalistic cynicism compliancy
Knowing knowledgeable knives kill
Fatalistic fantasy finally filled
As avid assassins appear abnormal
Nourished nativism narcissism normal
Grasping grinding gasping grievances get gnashed
Society successfully silenced six senses slashed

Wishing Myself Away
Thinking of my freedom
An escape
This silent goodbye
This peace of mind
Thinking of my unsettled dreams
Another escape
This stranded happiness
This emptiness
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... Wishing myself away
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... Wishing myself away
... ... ... ... ... ... An heroic adventure in a separate life
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... I watch the sky
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... The clouds bring the slow time of clues and signs
... ... ... ... ... ......

The World You Want To Own
Alone, on an island, in the middle of the sea
Not a soul around, only person here is me
The world is strange, had to get away
People bullying everyone, just to get their way
You want a nation of people who think just like you?
Toting a Bible, wrapped in red, white, and blue
You want a nation we left in 1955
Before most our nation's citizen were alive
You want subservient women who know their place
And people of color that know their race
Facts and science just get in the way
Ancient dogma is where you want to play ...

1000 Acres For Sale in Burke County
There's a certain magic in wide open spaces
Covid-19

Wondering who
the next victim might be
People hiding
Pundits lying
Panic
Hand wringing

Liberator
Liberator
He will rise where the shadows have meaning.
In his hand he will grip the throat of the empire.
Two will become many as the skies trail
a heavenly tear.
Years will pass as days
and some will trespass
into the wrong direction.
Freedom will know another face.
Laws will crumble underneath
a massive weight.
There will be hope
in the eyes of the just.
What once was can never be again.
Under new rule a time will come
to prosper.
Poets will write of history
and the dawn...

Fireflies in jars
I don't want fireflies in jars
to entertain me for hours;
beautifying my night
with their sparkling light,
Dispelling darkness for me
while their souls aren't free;
bringing in magical dreams
through their soft soothing beams.
These pretty luminous things
are meant to measure world
with their wings...

How I Feel About This Year's Election
I should have
known that it was a bad
idea to vote for who should be
our next president. At least, our soon to be former
vice president was unable to do
any crimes against her
own country.

Ophelia
rues of my maddening hue
trails unto thus beckoning
brook- I drown in melancholic
ecstasy, freeing your demons

Against the rain(reign)
Holding up a tent against the rain
Buckets flooding in try to save the food
Wetness pouring in push the rain to the river
Take me to your servant pull up bozi you’ll get cramps in the water
Morning rises rain realizes and recedes
Dancing with good music
Cry again and cry again feel the rhythm
Of Kinshasa thank you for your attention
It’s the other friends turn keep the rain away
Here it comes again wring out my wet clothes
Wind howling tarps flying away
Hold on tight can’t...
Buckets flooding in try to save the food
Wetness pouring in push the rain to the river
Take me to your servant pull up bozi you’ll get cramps in the water
Morning rises rain realizes and recedes
Dancing with good music
Cry again and cry again feel the rhythm
Of Kinshasa thank you for your attention
It’s the other friends turn keep the rain away
Here it comes again wring out my wet clothes
Wind howling tarps flying away
Hold on tight can’t...
