Nothing has to be fair
Never the adventurous one,
never the risk taker,
never the game changer,
Always.. the stranger..
Sometimes prone to anger,
releasing the rage, full blown fury
filling me up cause I constantly worry,
mind always in a hurry,
emotions swirling furiously, hurling me into the inner absurdity.
Hyper aware yet
reluctant to care.
Still realizing nothing has to be fair,
Not everything will go your way,
maybe it's not for me to say but
at the end of the day if you're breathing, you shouldn't be grieving just cause what you...
never the risk taker,

filling me up cause I constantly worry,

Not everything will go your way,
maybe it's not for me to say but

Celebration
A celebration of existence
A divine dance of energy
Intertwined intimately..
Infinitely.. instantly..
felt and absorbed,
familiar and adored
The infinite cant be ignored
furthermore
it's yours to claim
make a move before
you perish from this plane.
A divine dance of energy
Intertwined intimately..
Infinitely.. instantly..
felt and absorbed,
familiar and adored
The infinite cant be ignored
furthermore
it's yours to claim

Cat and Dog on the Lamb
I:
A big ol’ tabby male called Zack,
Had grown up with Lady, the bitch.
Life in the pound around the back
Each time a dog or cat would ditch,
Was hell just like a prison break,
Till Zack and Lady did likewise
And busted out for all their sakes;
The inmates barking their goodbyes!
So on the road without a dime,
Their empty stomachs start to growl.
The two of them have done their time,
And stalk the alleys as they prowl.
Both start to plan on their first crime,
And thru’ the stockyards...
A big ol’ tabby male called Zack,
Had grown up with Lady, the bitch.
Life in the pound around the back
Each time a dog or cat would ditch,
Was hell just like a prison break,
Till Zack and Lady did likewise
And busted out for all their sakes;
The inmates barking their goodbyes!
So on the road without a dime,
Their empty stomachs start to growl.
The two of them have done their time,
And stalk the alleys as they prowl.
Both start to plan on their first crime,
And thru’ the stockyards...

Joy cums in the darkest of places
Fucked with a spoon.
tossed onto streets.
I am a beggars god
in my unholy
and foul, the drums
will beat when I die.
I see a mature woman
who hauls her carts
of fresh tomatoes
down this way of mine
and her tits
and the nipples
play peek-a-boo
with my intrusive eyes and
there is a spryness in hers.
she smiles, plump lips
cheeks rising
as my cock rises.
that night I watched her, ...
tossed onto streets.
I am a beggars god
in my unholy
and foul, the drums
will beat when I die.
I see a mature woman
who hauls her carts
of fresh tomatoes
down this way of mine
and her tits
and the nipples
play peek-a-boo
with my intrusive eyes and
there is a spryness in hers.
she smiles, plump lips
cheeks rising
as my cock rises.
that night I watched her, ...

Don't believe everything you think pt2
Don't believe everything you think
let that sink into your psyche
before you nestle into the night.
-
Everything's alright
another strange night on earth..
I used to think it was a curse
and that I wasn't worth much
but I dont think such thoughts anymore.
I sometimes cant ignore them but now
I dont believe them.
let that sink into your psyche
before you nestle into the night.

On the phone
on the phone
distracted from being alone
with the only thoughts I've ever known..
still I'm caught in loops and
beginning to drone on and on
waiting for them to begone
but I'm too naive to see..
this isn't me,
this isn't free,
but aren't we
"supposed" to be?
maybe not..
maybe not..
but still
we must
embrace what we've got
despite feeling caught in a cycle
of cynical misconceptions..
so misdirected and inflicted
with intense introspective tendencies
with a dependency on
isolation...

Strange sectors
never seeing what you mean,
never meaning to be seen.
slowly slipping from this scene.
drawn into the dream
never knowing
what it all means..
never showing
your true self,
that undetectable part of your psyche
which even you can't begin to perceive as a piece of this "personality"..
what's your reality like
these days?
Am I the only one
hiding in this haze?
Deep in a daze..
moving through the mazes in my mind,
Amazed and appalled at what I find
in each strange sector..
never meaning to be seen.
slowly slipping from this scene.
drawn into the dream
never knowing
what it all means..
never showing
your true self,
that undetectable part of your psyche
which even you can't begin to perceive as a piece of this "personality"..

Am I the only one
hiding in this haze?
Deep in a daze..
moving through the mazes in my mind,
Amazed and appalled at what I find
in each strange sector..

YOUR MISANTHROPIC GLOW
Humanity is a trash can fire
the rain tries and tries to put out.
I don't know what your ancestors did
to make you something else,
floating right above,
smoldering in the deluge.
the rain tries and tries to put out.
I don't know what your ancestors did

Choice And The Adversary
In the sky amongst the stars or in the fields howling with wolves.
Swimming in water or flying above, real life unfolds. Humans often dream, seeking greener grass, a return to the wild... expecting to live without disease.
While a bear will eat the fish, and a spider will grab the bird. The big cat and the wolf, are but a predator.
Same as dying stars turn into black holes to swallow everything in their way, expanding another universe.
It seems everything moves on through the energy of bitter destruction. The creatures of earth feed off of each other.

The Lack Of Love ( String of Tanka)
Venomous tirade
Gushes from a bitter tongue
A heart full of hate
I pity such lonely souls
Wallowing in misery
Are they so unloved
That their hearts bleed and oozes
Poisonous vile
It must be lonely out there
With nobody to hold them
They must be living
An empty life so wanting
Of love pure and true
Not the love that comes from lust
That feeds their carnal desires
I'm thankful, lucky
I have more than enough love
To give and receive
I don't have to be bitter
Nor envy what others...
Gushes from a bitter tongue

They must be living
An empty life so wanting
Of love pure and true
Not the love that comes from lust
That feeds their carnal desires
I'm thankful, lucky

To give and receive
I don't have to be bitter
Nor envy what others...

Relief from belief
What's your beef with beliefs?
Don't you find relief
living life based on
something you believe?
I do
in a way,
Sometimes I don't but for the most part
I love being able to believe certain things, anything I want.
Basically in a reality all my own as is every other being in existence..
isn't it marvelously bizarre?
You control your mind
At the same time
your mind controls you..
Life is loopy.
Don't you find relief
