Dunkelflaute
Doom laden skies held, not one breath, of wind
Under the achromatic mantle, torpidity binged
No turbine turned, there was no sunlight power
Kismet ordained, to drain, every megawatt hour
Eerie evenings, turned countrysides, into tundra
Lights burned bright, until the blackouts umbra
From the murk, came night and the cloying cold
Listlessly lingering, from the valley, to the wold
And dawn would seep, then creep, into each day
Unfolding itself into the simplicity, of bitter grey
Though time inexorably passed, beneath the veil
Enveloped, by...

January
January lingers, cold and slow
I wonder how you are, where the streets go.
do the days treat you kind?
I wish I could walk with you, leave no step behind.

"Poetic Justice "
aspirations to engage the right side of this brain as much as the left; there are blockages that occasionally make me want to literally bull rush my head- into concrete wall....
as if I could ever express or manifest something at all so profound that it resurrects necessary spirits from the dead- to somehow help magically bring about a way to save those that were never meant for this earthly🌎 existential dread....
because no matter where one goes- there one is; a species bearing witness to...

broken
tender understanding, I am breaking
broken pieces being battered by a mighty wind
an empath feeling the groans of others
I feel each strike like it's my own body
fears hunt my mind while I sleep
we are in the hands of something larger than ourselves
connecting on the air I shelter those I can
with my voice shout against injustice
if I were to dwell on it, I would blow away as ash
leaving little help to those who surround me
with quiet courage I hold onto the good
the dark is always willing to talk
to take me...
broken pieces being battered by a mighty wind
an empath feeling the groans of others
I feel each strike like it's my own body
fears hunt my mind while I sleep
we are in the hands of something larger than ourselves
connecting on the air I shelter those I can
with my voice shout against injustice
if I were to dwell on it, I would blow away as ash
leaving little help to those who surround me

cherish
little hope in expression of dreams
to live in the light of exploration
reaching heights unseen
in my mind rise
it is with great desire I reach out
delving into spirit of the unknown
sacred art in understanding
to live is to grow
secret faith is to listen
to whipering souls with knowledge
sanctifying my body in all I do
simple pleasures are embraced
and I realize life is good
not to be taken for granted
breathe into the day inspiration
and be filled on the wonderments the world has to offer ...

The misadventures of a lone ranger
A lost man wakes alone,
a relentless mighty knight fighting old soldiers
underneath the broken bridge
of Landscape.
He never thought they could hurt him.
He never foresaw the gang bang coming.
All those men were taking advantage of his body.
Many swords of attack penetrate his back.
He's been able to take them so many times
that I felt the urge to rhyme on it
like my pen is on fire.

they dress strangely

their speech is a bit different

they look you in the eye
listening more than speaking

legit
I've been feeling claustrophobic, I mean like static inside my body
internally reaching out to touch the sky
my soul longs to fly
take a breath and take flight
nothing hindering me
changing the vibe on the airs
because lately it's been frantic
fanatical, got me fearing war
getting all kinds of noise from the left and right
my fears are legit
my heart swells, then fails me
watching the plight of the Earth
humanity is hurting
animals are suffering
everyday on the net I'm left crying
my empathy...

Plastic Coating
More than ninety percent of cadavers dissected had microplastics in brains and livers
Why is plastic still being produce and how are these microplastics being delivered
Everything from fossil fuels must be a profit way down to the last sliver
Hell yeah fucking profit over humanity now didn't that make your soul quiver
Where are these plastics coming from and how are they entering everything
Simply read the words that are written and see if anything ring
Ninety-four percent of Americans drink bottled water, now think globally
It's scientifically proven...

No Verbal Tense
In the twilight of day, where shadows stretch long,
you find yourself pondering, life's complex song.
The moon, a cheese wheel, rolls across the sky,
stars sprinkle the heavens, a cosmic pie.
Your thoughts wander, a kite in a hurricane,
pulled by the winds of whimsy and pain.
Cats sleep, their purrs a melody sweet,
dreams of catnip and mice at their feet.
You sip on your tea, a brew of contemplation,
steeping in moments of pure fascination.
Each sip a journey, a boat on life's river,
navigating currents that make your...

Practice Bars 3
Quite pleasing, I have mastered rhyme rooks.
Skies bleeding science after y'all shook.
My feelings, I don't have them all, look.
Like reading, Isaac Asimov books.
Guised greetings might have masked divine crooks.
Dice leading pirates after spines stood.
Try scheming heights we passed in times took.
Price pleading, private passions might push.
Bright beaming binds the blatherskite foot.
Lines weaving lying lavish like hoof.
Wine, wheat, and rice Saturn giant sook.
Rye seedling blight have acid nights cooked.
Prized...
