Take it
Sometimes special moments catch you off guard
You’re boarding a flight
Flying away to another lifetime
A juncture is upon you
Which way do you go
What direction do you choose to head in
Sometimes in those moments
Everything changes
A new life path carved out in front of you
Ahead lies mystery, perhaps sanctuary
Perhaps scarcity, perhaps anxiety
The unknown can be a thrill to some
However It can be torture to others
I don’t know where I fall on that scale
But I do know I wanna take the dive...
You’re boarding a flight

A juncture is upon you

Perhaps scarcity, perhaps anxiety
The unknown can be a thrill to some
However It can be torture to others
I don’t know where I fall on that scale

Stranger
Inquiry of questions interrogations in my head
Yesterday a revolving door in paradox of philosophical repose
For all the things I wish I never said
The mystery of the history of all the things that no one knows
I am a stranger to myself gradually learning as I go
Who I am in this experience to discover why
Every choice I make is another revelation of getting to know
Self, in all the tangles unraveling, until the day I die
Mystery in the mirror, mirror
How do I believe the best
When so much of what I’ve done doesn’t square
When...

Silence
Silence is that you?
confession number 6 I am afraid
falling forever falling in love with you
no matter the cause, doomed to fail

my brother, we can not speak
He will destroy me for being evidence of His dark side
laying witness I was cold with grief

Crazy Love
Reading between the lines, she was out in left field and off the deep end,
grasping at straws to drink of a glass half empty.

Gunpowder
A season in hell
does not enable anyone
for that dream vacation
in Paradise...
Non-appreciators
forgive me, but
my Vodka, when
is not in circulation
in my organism
it's very quiet
in the freezer...
Drugs for what?
The truth is so harsh
in the morning, as much as
it was before falling asleep.

Exploring
During the night
I travel my dreams
Within my dreams
I search for my soul
Whilst exploring my soul
I experience reality
From reality
To realness
Through dissecting my mind
I sense my body
Interacting with body
Brings me to life
In life we live our dreams
If we’re so lucky
Or if we so choose
By our choosing
We make conscious decisions
Within decisions
Lies a whole world
Lest we stop exploring
Lest we forget whence we came from
The who, what, when,...

On ...Off ...Tell me Another...Cut the Crap !!
That's my new expression
Old school like me
No apologies
I'll run circles around your candy ass
Streaming replaced cable
Bigger and faster they claimed
Still clouds and freezes
Just more bullshit
On... Off I say
Freaks of nature
Guys wearing shorts in 40 degree NYC
Motorized bikes, scooters, skateboards
Riding on the sidewalks
Pedestrians be damned
Selfish isn’t a right of passage
Hold a door for your neighbor

Zombie Lines
These words fade before the ink dries
When intentions to actions fail to materialize
Fabricating inspiration, reputation embodied in an empty phrase
All the ammunition without the impact, handicaps of shame
The right words without the follow through, the low highs of shallow praise
Wasted potentials relegated to make a name
Play the role and write the script
Saint facades of the linguist hypocrite
Thriving on the uninspired
The taste for silence is acquired
Every word is noise that is love without meaning
When character...

Something about suffering
Allah toast the moon
La luna sombrero from the big spoon
Tetrahedron dome tiny memorabilia
Mycelium, roots, moss, fauna, gnome
What weathers and doesnt kill ya
Wand of fire
Another ace of spades,
Against the tops of tree, she waxes, she wanes
Surrenders aglow in love and in pains
A call from my friends
You said Id be shorter
Theres layers of moon beams
Pyramid screen doors
Larger than in mirror
Nothing as it seems is as it allegedly appears
Nor does that apply here
The cheats are encoded into everywhere
La luna sombrero from the big spoon

conversation with self
what is life? most likely a pitch black cool darkness-you're feeling your way around-just to potentially fall down into a big hole with great depth-you might be there for a while-or for the rest of your life-or you may be pulled back up into the darkness to feel around some more- you may find a little flash of light the size of a bottled firefly and a little space to lay in....and you need to ultimately find peace in that before you die....
