Risky Truth and Lies
The Truth or
Lie like a dog
Truth sets you free
But at what cost
Lying may save you
But it may get you
In trouble later on
So lie at your
Own Risk or
Tell the truth
At your:
Own Risk!
Lie like a dog
Truth sets you free
But at what cost
Lying may save you
But it may get you
In trouble later on
So lie at your
Own Risk or
Tell the truth
At your:
Own Risk!

To Good To Be True
You know I have
heard it
more than once
more than just here
Those that think
they know me
cracked the code
figured me out
Preferring to dismiss it
all a way
what they see
what they think they see
Embrace the doubt
avoiding a bold icy
plunge
into the chasms of verity
Branding me thus
"too good to be true"
instead of what's worse
too bad to be false
heard it
more than once
more than just here
Those that think
they know me
cracked the code
figured me out
Preferring to dismiss it
all a way
what they see
what they think they see
Embrace the doubt
avoiding a bold icy
plunge
into the chasms of verity
Branding me thus
"too good to be true"
instead of what's worse
too bad to be false

WHEN TWO HEARTS COLLIDE
When you meet someone for the very first time after only hearing there voice how do you know, that you're a match made in heaven once aline by the stars within the darken skies for what kind of connectivity do you have in the depth within your souls, for does the symmetries of lines match as they inline for what kind of energy does your mind create when you meet eye to eye.
For even as your primal heat rises what kind of feelings do you feel deep...
For even as your primal heat rises what kind of feelings do you feel deep...

Spiritology
( after Stevie Smith )
When I was young, I wondered
why the crucifixion was depicted
behind the altar of a church;
or, worn around the neck—
Jesus agonizingly wrenched, looking up
or down as if in eternal rest
I thought to myself, what is my purpose;
how would I want to be remembered
should I meet a violent end—
not in the agony of the moment:
even in youth, I knew that much—
but, sharing life and love instead
I imagined an energy shift
from a guilt-ridden reminder

Fool's Gold
It’s always a shame to find,
that the apple of your eye,
with all its superficial shine,
has a rotten core inside.
that the apple of your eye,
with all its superficial shine,
has a rotten core inside.

The faster I run, the less further I get
spring has grown
fangs and is going
for the throat of man
and i want to go home
and sleep for a year
our lives are finger
food for God
and I haven't washed
my hair in three days
thoughts are a cul
de sac
feeling a morgue
the human spirit
goes down like
cheap whiskey
and burns
out of our
minds
out of time
out goes the
lights
and the dark sits
in the corner licking
it's lips,
a hungry
cat...

Close Call (Afraid to Risk)
Today,
I nearly told You
I wanted You.
I wanted to be with You
I wanted to grow anew
I wanted to be only true
I wanted. . .to wanting You.......................Whew!
Close Call.
Near a given days end----we could be----
And O, how tempting;
But, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
TSK, TSK, TSK,
am I AFRAID TO RISK?
You are not the first and it's not my first time,
So why did You make me feel so frisky?
I want to tell You,
But I feel it's very risky (why?!)!

Hello :)
Communication is challenging. There is an automatic amount of projection of prior experience bias and disposition onto everything in our environment. It was wisely said, "People meet us where they are, not where we are."
Anthropomorphization is common and easily recognizable as we lie together on the grass and describe the shapes in the clouds. I see a dog with floppy ears blown in the wind, one flung upward and away, one flat against his chin, one rear leg raised, perhaps an instant before micturation. You see Artemis drawing her bow defiantly to loose a quarrel against the...

Like Wildflowers Do
Bury me alive, with bent
and broken stems.
Where the warmest of days
pours out, on love,
gone cold
fallen, fatigued love is
Etched out by a forced
impression
Turn me over, under like
tilled soil.So, it may grow again.
Make it white as Dahlia held
with the elements of humility
and truth
I long for the most tender love.
Where fingertips touch lightly
Within the stillness of a breath
Our secrets are kept
a love born of neonate dreams
A love that grows,
like...
and broken stems.

Building Trust
It's a motherfucker when the one that you love doesn't trust you
It doesn't matter what you say or what the fuck you do
There's still some love in her accompanying the pain
She's determined that you played with her heart and brought her shame
But this time around your heart and mind were bonding, there was no game
you figured she could look within and see that you were not the same
But that shame is a bitch and it clouds her eyes
It isn't love that she feels, but she also doesn't despise
Is it possible to regain that lost trust
Is it...
