The end of the line
Powder on the table, lines drawn in the sand
how did your experiment get so out of hand?
You wanted to be cool and liked
so down the Devil's path you hiked
with no care or concern on your mind
sure you'd never leave yourself behind
but here you are, five in the morning
eyes red, swollen from your silent mourning
the tracks leading away from the heart
only one last strand before you fall apart
cutting the cord quick and precise
to place your mind back in the vise
as you scheme and plot
to earn yourself another shot
now you...

The Heavenly Choir
Drowning out the noise
stellar symphonics vibrate
reverberating the sadness
Sleep little sensitivity
insecure cycles revolve around stress
and anxious rebellion stirs the toxic thoughts
Installations of reflex mutate
while the radio plays
The Earthly tune changes
emitting distress
the congregation gathers
The wolves wag their tongues
seeking to consume on the ether
So tiny hope flags down an angel flying solo
mischief nods and resumes her song
sounding bitterly off key
To everyone but her...

Bluebirds
Twilight came and blew bluebirds into your laugh
your eyes came alive and I knew
your honesty could bend gentleness in its perch
Sacred truth smiles while I hold his hand
winding down from his throne
In the deeper knowledge
he plays with time
While it ticks, I quietly observe
the mastery in the moment crafted
Universal doubt clouds your features
and I wrestle with the darkness you can't see
Shadows of ghosts praying
gather to kneel
Angels of the apostles
wrapped in long robes of judgement
beseeching...

Daydreamer
A daydreamer full of aspirations
kisses the sky
Observing the mortal realm
wandering as she goes
Keen child of wonderment
revolving in strength
don't underestimate the power of love
Vulnerability peaks and the energies surge
revealing another wavelength undisturbed
Evolving in dreamtime
to flex wings unused previously
Turning in the elements
to spin on the backs of paper elephants
Marching over time
swept up in the moment
breaking the brittle dawn
Sister to knowledge ...

NO MISS DEED UNPUNISHED
When you get lost in the process of learning how to trust someone, it can become a scary situation to have to deal with, mentally and emotionally and physically and spiritually. Due to the dishonesty and distrust and disloyalty. But yet it is from those experiences, that we have to learn from life do on to ourselves, as you do upon thyself, before you do on to someone else not deserving of your nonsenses. For always keep in the back of your mind 🤔 creating a deeper sense that what goes around comes around, for NO MISS DEED GOES UNPUNISHED🤔

The unseen passage
Sugary white sand
flowing through the hourglass in my hand
the passage of time is unseen by any
and yet felt by so many.
The bittersweet lines on your face
that come with experiences you cannot erase
or the withering body that youth has fled,
the unseen marching of time we do so dread.
No man can stop it, or slow it down,
it flows as the tide in which we drown,
a glistening stream of sweet, refreshing drink
that only all too late causes us to think
about the steep price we pay
to live to see another day.

Where have all the antelopes gone?
Where, oh where have the antelopes gone
leaving the lions to starve all alone!
No more herds to be seen on the savannah
no more young or old to become manna
the sights have become more and more rare
extinction growing large from nowhere
the hyenas cackling and howling,
their empty stomachs constantly growling.
Vultures circle overhead,
only finding emptiness and no dead,
scavengers play the waiting game,
never getting to chase the game.
New appetites begin to arise,
the hunter becomes the new prize,
with no more prey to...

Lesson To Learn
Dragonflies as they skim the waters, they leave circles, swirling in their wake.They only scratch the face, but leave so many scars on the lake, and they never look behind, as they go on their skimming spree, another lake to take....
Calm were the lakes, and the swamps, where Water Striders and bugs,scorpions, even nymphs, row their bodies in such comfortable ambience, spending a peaceful stay.But, once the silent dragonfly speaks, all the waters take a whirl, they tremble, the surface collapses, like a Waterquacke, and leaves a recurring turbulence, an epic tribulation...
