Some Things Don't Change ( Shower Poem )
Philosophy often comes to me when I'm wet
Most of the time that means I'm in the shower
Lately there's been a lot of that
It's post winter, I should be happy, I'm not
April can be a bitch
It's a cruel month, weird weather, what should I wear
Baseball season starts, still watching basketball
Feeling blah, sleep sucks, even my sex poems blow
In the shower I'm thinking about change
Got some life stuff on the horizon
The things I tried hard to change just didn't
I was looking for a curve but got struck out with the slider ...

the ledge & the one who sees you....
timing is everything.... especially for those whoms heart and mind are critically in the balance....
all is not lost until all is lost; hanging on for dear life with thoughts contemplating if living's actually worth the cost....
everyone's not fueled the same; everyone does not view this experience as the "same game"....
the lack there of or absence of face to face interaction; compassion; the ledge and the one who "sees you" there.... before the "jump" happens (figurtively speaking....)

Of Dawn's Pekoe
The dark tea rose whispers
a hybrid shadow of night
as petals kiss the twilight
dripping the veil of dusk
as a silhouette is born
to silence the devil's blite
with the essence of dawn's pekoe
steeping in dreams...
goodnight
a hybrid shadow of night
as petals kiss the twilight
dripping the veil of dusk
as a silhouette is born

EXISTENTIAL WHISPERS
the dome of the sky
is made of bone
and spangled with gods
distant and indifferent
as the stars that light their way
and so we are alone, my love,
and our prayers are only wishes
whispered to the night
who can do little
but hide us 'til morning
so nestle deep
and sleep dreamless
that we might wake strong
enough to face the day
is made of bone
and spangled with gods
distant and indifferent
as the stars that light their way
and so we are alone, my love,
and our prayers are only wishes
whispered to the night
who can do little
but hide us 'til morning
so nestle deep
and sleep dreamless
that we might wake strong
enough to face the day

Hold On... Never Give Up
It’s acceptable on the Heaven’s Creator time
As we pray in the dark, yet at the rise of the sun we turn the blind eye
Still believing in fate when we fall short to lead ourselves
The two-edge sword we weld with souls we have never met
Blinded tears, wicked thoughts permeate the mind
Lost, abandoned, mentally deserted, on the knees asking God for his mercy just one more time
Cascading water in the shower, cleaning the filth as we stand
Putting on our clothes, heading into the world
Wickedness festering in our...

My Garden of Creation
A space where flowers grow with names like simile and metaphor
and cultivating them is the work I adore
I am digging through my mind for another fresh rhyme
because once again it is harvest time
I arrange the concepts based on platonic idealism
juxtaposed with stark modern urban realism
With themes old as time
about the battles of evil versus the divine
Or sometimes a simple statement upon reflection
after a daydream or mediation
Once again after my muse's visitation
here is a byproduct from my...

Cult of Personality
What would be more dangerous?
If you knew my address,
birthdate,
various government numbers
You could track me down,
take all my money,
leave me without material comfort,
but you still wouldn’t know
Who
I
Am.
Would it put me at risk to tell you?
I’m Luna Lovegood
Spider Man
Michael Scott
Arwen
Willy Wonka
Captain Kirk
and Qui-Gon Jinn
all rolled into one.
Would it make me vulnerable?

Skipping The Willow
Hiding inside my head
skipping the Willow
as it dances like a butterfly
a pocket full of daisies
of long swaying branches
beneath the breeze
over the sticklebacks
where minnows play
and daydreams lay
listening to a roses' breath
counting the petals
as if hours of the day.

Echoing Minuets
Where ashes have burned
in shadows of arabesque
echoing minuets
in dark labyrinths
stirring my tea with a bamboo
beneath the orange pagoda.

Ain't No Pulitzer
Aint no Pulitzer when I'm gone
a cross made from a yardstick
in the soil as your papa now rest
with earmuffs drowning out sounds
death dances like a silent movie
through eyes of my rigor mortis
perhaps there's an Oscar waiting
in the wings.

HE AIN'T DONE WITH ME YET
Here I stand within this confine space of silence yet it is here within this transcending, realm of darkness and light I stand in the warmth of the sun, as it slowly begins to rise above and over the horizon. But yet as I stand here and now as the sky begins to fade from gray to white, I begin to reexamine my own life experiences that I have gone and been through. For I have been up as I have been down, through the trails and tribulations that sometimes creeps into life. That we all have to experience at one point within our lives for they say, confession is good for the heart and soul and...
