Former Plant Killer
I killed plants labeled indestructible
Black thumb that I had
I was desperate to keep those things alive
I nurtured them to death
Never realizing
That was the problem
When you step back
And let be
That’s when you give life
Loving
Isn’t smothering
Loving
Is
Granting the freedom to blossom
Black thumb that I had
I was desperate to keep those things alive
I nurtured them to death
Never realizing
That was the problem
When you step back
And let be
That’s when you give life
Loving
Isn’t smothering
Loving
Is
Granting the freedom to blossom

a rose in rush
my rose
never fades,
it remains safe
among the thorns
it maintains
its beauty
in every season,
it always remains
steadfast even
after facing attacks,
this red delicate piece
of shining silk
caresses,
teases and
allures
people with
its curve , color and odor...

melancholy's midnight
darkling of faith at rest, resists
to touch your vulnerability of hate
mix it up and make a recipe that suits my taste, out of fate
hurting in the pnuema my breath escapes your stranglehold
bursts of energy surround me
with a look in, I think I know you,...sweet one
seek my sunshine not my immortal need
knowledge is pleasure but to delve too deeply
it is a fledgling error of importance
to touch the sky, to sigh inward for a man's greed,
a God's caress
urging Him deeper into your soul
with a siren...
to touch your vulnerability of hate
mix it up and make a recipe that suits my taste, out of fate

knowledge is pleasure but to delve too deeply
it is a fledgling error of importance

inkwells die
the quill
kept
stabbing
the inkwell
over
and over
until all
of its soul
was gone,
but,
the quill
did leave
the last
words
of the
ink on
the paper
for all
to read.

Tree Tops and AI
moment to moment
in the shadows today
quietly listening to nature sing and grieve
things are swiftly changing
sometime my mind reels
seventies child...windy
watching the leaves silently sing
feeling the era
summer days were long
neighborhood children making up their own games outdoors
shaded afternoons up a tree dreaming
creating my own worlds
my favorite tree my protector
green my favored company
bike rides dreaming of the life I would like
and when my garden dream house would...

unconditonaly sunflower
dreaming visions clockwise turning time
awaiting the realization
you love me no matter
exceptional in your need
perpetual in the greed
still your soul is part of mine
hinting on your honesty
picking up my feelings
sunflower sounds
feel the emotion of this honesty
loving you until the end
until the my shineness rubs off
still I will glitter for you
kiss the soul and tear me apart
brokeness of spirit
fits of fear and anger
unconditonally loved pours from ours, yours and mine ...

The Evolution Of A Mad Genius
energies felt and absorbed...
was light the first technology based orb?
placed upon a grid of both math and molecule build
amassed locomotion to realize the visions being seen
building block by block
a mad genius of mass proportions
sound may have been the first break iin understanding
a language understood or sung
the sun is largely made of up nuclear energy
solar flairs tears apart mars
there was technology their at one time...it seems
as well as a healthy atmosphere
advanced...
