The truth will unfold
Undeniably, shadows consume the sky.
Inescapably the stars dim and die.
Uncharacteristically, whispers turn to screams.
Disproportionately hope fractures dreams.
Incomprehensibly, the world twists to decay.
Unexceptionally time drifts away.
Individualistically, souls stand alone.
Irresponsibly they carve from stone.
Unintentionally, paths to ruin align.
Uncompromisingly darkness claims what’s mine.

Willfully In The Dark
It is I again. I guess I should have explained something about myself, I don’t know if I ever addressed this, I hate fucking politics. I write about them sure, but I don’t love anything about the process. I stay informed, but I’m not a fan.
It’s a necessity, not something I enjoy. It helped ruin a friendship, someone I loved liked a brother, it helped destroy a songwriting partnership. Because, I woke up from a 33 year party, and realized some lines had been crossed.
Worst of all it didn’t get any better, when I got sober. I’m talking about, Joey G, of course....

Evil Empire
I’m an advocate for compassion and empathy
But the recent political results left me disappointed
Now the world is lacking even more sympathy
While several leaders are illogical and disjointed
But I remember that before all this came to pass
I thought maybe we should let crazy take the wheel
I mean how often do you see a vehicle driven by an ass?
Spellbound by some witchcraft in the art of the steal
I think I wished for this so that all would be revealed
So that even the most blind would eventually learn
Thou shall fucketh...

"out of body" for a living
yeah. somewhere in between earth & realms unseen- lost in forever dream; epitome of "Pisces" sinking downstream- forever "me...." imagine a "fish" that never learned to swim in its "proper" element-yet expected to "ascend"-that's crazy....
out of water- learned to bearly breathe; tropical sunny beach weather is the element one's forever meant to be- sand between one's bare feet-theraputic sounds of sea breeze....
someone unordinary next to me; a soul- you'd swear...

Bound To Rust
Fucking circus just pulled into town
Flimflam ringmaster wants to burn it down
Unelected sidekick dancing like a clown
Psychotic logic a smile conceals a frown
How much more has to happen?
To wake them from perpetual sleep?
Disappearing those humans they hate
When it’s the billionaires inflicting pain
This self-induced fall from grace
Turning heel as the world watches in disgust
Pulling the rug while rigging the race
Without allies our foundation is bound to rust
Make America ignorant while killing hope ...

Your Dilemma
You can't protect from the people,
Who hide in the back,
Squeezing through cracks.
The more people you involve,
The more we need laws.
Laws that harm.
Laws that disarm.
And kill.
Children are trafficked,
Because of the laws that you practice.
That no one wants to reveal.
But I have to.
To try and protect someone,
From the people,
That take advantage of the weaker opponent.
But give them some slack,
And they'll fight back,
To protect the young,
Being screwed over, ...

hanging around....
foreseeable future- figment of imagination; a walking suitcase filled with inconvenient stuff on the inside; a "protest" postponed due to a "heart condition"(firgure of speech) and mind torn in two....
what makes life worth living? I've binged watched others' expressed their near death experiences- most sound replicated and nonconvincing; I've made a number of "off the whim" decisions; I'd like to think it somehow prepares me for a "thorough" and perhaps more graceful ending....

Marriage Stuff
We come and go
Independent contractors of a life
Watching the news together
A slow motion work in progress
Together many years
Dog walks, family stuff, sharing
A popsicle after dinner
Coconut for her, lemon for me
Moments in a marriage
Affection, gentle touch, sharing
Respect, dignity, love

Watching the news together

Dog walks, family stuff, sharing

Insanity Within Humanity
She looks over the edge of temptation,
They whisper in her ear,
"One more step my dear,
All your worries will disappear."
She questions her sanity,
With more pills made by humanity,
That state her mental health,
Is the reason for her insanity.
She tells herself it's time to go,
To the world's end,
No one will ever have to know.
One leap of faith,
For an angel with no wings,
She jumps forward,
Listening to the things,
She has been called.
You hear a smack,
A...

Showdown Over The Horizon
I guess you didn’t expect me back so soon. To be honest neither did I. But I’m always revisiting memories, or thinking about the journey to get where I am at present.
My friend, J.J. Burton, recently lost his mother. I think it was March 10th to be precise. He’s been busy, and I understand we’ll talk when were supposed to. I was there for him when his father passed, though there relationship was strained, it was still his father.
This one I figured would be worse, because he was close to his mom. I didn’t know her well. We talked some, she was a nice lady....

Disturbance
If we create all we feel,
All,
That's real.
If we form the space we fill,
Make this place,
Seem so ideal.
It's hard to find a home for hate,
When at times,
It's touch,
Lays so near concealed.
Slipped between conditions,
And,
Slipped between unspoken fear.
That,
Self perpetuated,
Deregulated,
Mission,
Those,
Notions,
Those,
Extremes.
Those,
Fine veiled mares,
Of nights and dreams.
Are all but masters,
Except,
For choice,
Except for,
Our acceptance.

We have to ignore somethings
Through this cycle of life we all will have to learn, to walk away from the negativity of nonsense, that doesn't have anything to do with our own lives. For sure we have to learn how to navigate, through the process of the confusion trying to make some kind of sense out of it all. Just because we decided not to entertain, ourselves in a way that is detrimental to our own way of thinking about life. For sure we are responsible for our own actions, that comes with consequences, even when we speak within a conversation to articulate, what we have to say in a positive way to someone. Who is hell...
